Abstract
A cutting fluid applicable for the machining of vitreous, crystalline or aggregate materials such as glass, glass-ceramics, ceramics, stone, concrete, silicon and the like. The cutting fluid comprises a solution containing organic molecules—in particular silanes, silanols, and siloxanes—capable of forming covalent bonds with such vitreous, crystalline or aggregate materials. The organic molecules in the cutting fluid is believed to improve the rate of manufacturing productivity, surface finish quality, and decrease the incidence of sub-surface damage caused by particulate adhesion to the cutting or abrading tool during a machining process of these kinds of substrates. The reduced clogging of cutting surfaces and increased lubricity of the cutting fluid may also prolong the useful life of the machining tools when used against these kinds of substrates.
