For over six decades Champion Brands, a globally recognized blender and packager of motor oils, gear lubes, brake fluids, and many other specialty lubricants, has recently introduced to diesel engine builders a Professional-Grade Honing Oil for machining metal parts to perfection.
Honing oils are a liquid-emulsion lubricant used to assist in the cutting, grinding, and the honing process. This product helps protect the abrasive tools in honing machines while also removing heat and debris (swarf) to ensure accuracy in producing a sharp edge. Honing oil has just the right consistency for sharpening stones. It will neither gum it up nor glaze it, and it will provide just enough lubrication to avoid wearing out the stone prematurely.
Champion Professional-Grade Honing Oil, part #4242, is a robust high-performance honing and finishing fluid utilizing a select blend of base fluids and additives. With added anti-oxidant protection and low-odor extreme-pressure additives, it provides excellent performance and corrosion protection for honing ferrous alloys, cast iron, low-medium alloyed steel, high-alloyed nickel, nickel-chromium alloys, titanium alloys and aluminum alloys. In addition it is safe for use with yellow-metals.
The product is a low viscosity chlorine-free neat oil containing a high level of ester lubricity additive to impart excellent surface finish on machining of hardened steels and nickel alloys. It can also be used in super finishing applications, utilizing stones rather than tapes.
Ingredients include: petroleum distillates, hydrotreated light naphthenic Pentene, 2,4,4-trimethyl-, and sulfurized. Specifications include:
Boiling point: >270°C (>518°F)
Flash point: >115.56°C (>240°F)
Auto ignition temp >260°C (>500°F)
Viscosity: Kinematic (40°C (104°F): ~0.05 cm2/s (5 cSt)
Appearance: Clear amber color.
Champion Professional-Grade Honing Oil is recommended for honing of toughened steels, nickel alloys and to achieve particularly good finishes in short stroke, micro-finishing operations on tough materials like bearing steel. It is also applicable to fine machining of steel and non-ferrous metals as well as light drawing and stamping operations.
It's also suitable for honing non-ferrous metals with ceramic or bakelite bonded carborundum or silicon carbide stones as well as metal bond diamond stones. High lubricity ensures longer tool life, higher work speeds and better finish quality.
“Our low-odor solvent technology effectively flushes the work surface without the noxious smell of kerosene-based fluids. Suitable for a wide range of workshop applications for diesel engine builders, it offers excellent lubricity, high performance anti-foam agents, yellow-metal safe, excellent solvency, rapid flushing action of fine swarf, elimination of surface glaze-up on honing stones, compatible with Sulphur containing honing stones, can be used on honing and super finishing operations, approved by honing machine manufacturers, excellent cooling properties, and chlorine free,” stated Karl Dedolph of Champion Brands, LLC.

Honing is an abrasive process capable of producing bore size tolerances as small as 0.00002 inch (20 millionths of an inch, or one-half of 1 micron) and is typically used in components that demand the highest level of precision. Honing can consistently hold extremely tight tolerances at sub-micron levels, even when running millions of parts. Holes from 0.060 inch to 60 inches in diameter can be honed, in virtually any type of material used in manufacturing.
ReplyDeleteThe success of the honing process depends on the precise performance of each of five key components of the honing system: the machine, fixturing, tooling, abrasive and honing oil. Even though honing oil accounts for around one percent of the total process cost, selecting the right honing oil has a direct and immediate impact on abrasive consumption, labor, cycle times and quality.
The use of quality honing oil like Champion's allows the use of higher honing pressures without experiencing welding of the tooling or workpiece chips. No matter what, reduction of friction in the honing process always improves the bottom line, whether it be cost/part, cycle time, abrasive consumption or any other measure of merit.
