About the Author

Jerry Byers was the President of STLE from 2012 to 2013, and has been active in the organization for over 35 years. He recently retired from Milacron’s Cimcool Industrial Fluids Division after 42 years with the company. His last position there was as Manager of Research and Development. He received his Bachelors degree in Chemistry from Ball State University, and a Masters degree in Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati. He is a Certified Metalworking Fluid Specialist (CMFS^®).

Byers has served on the Board of Directors of STLE, as an associate editor for Tribology Transactions, as a member of the STLE Metalworking Fluids Education and Training Subcommittee, and as an instructor in the Metalworking Fluids education courses for many years. He held several offices in the Cincinnati section of STLE, including Chairman.

He holds a patent for a heavy duty chlorine-free metalworking fluid, has spoken at conferences world-wide, authored several journal articles, and was contributing editor for two books: Metalworking Fluids (Marcel Dekker, 1994), and Metalworking Fluids, Second Edition (Taylor & Francis, 2006).

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"The second edition is intended for anyone in the metalworking industry and is written in a style that is easy to read and readily understandable by people with a basic technical background. …Especially important are the many references at the end of each chapter and the extensive glossary of more than 400 terms at the end of the book. …This well-written book should be on the highly recommended reading list for anyone interested in the metalworking industry."
—Tribology & Lubrication Technology, June 2006

Editorial Reviews

"Like the first and second editions which have steadfastly served as ‘The Bible’ for the metalworking industry, the third edition will likewise continue this tradition. This is the only truly comprehensive, all-encompassing reference for this industry. This well-written book should be on the highly recommended reading list for anyone interested in the metalworking industry. STLE is proud to have partnered with CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group) in co-publishing this important book."
— Robert M. Gresham, Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, Zionsville, Indiana, USA

"This third edition incorporates the latest technology and newest thinking into the book that has been the unquestioned standard of the metalworking-fluid industry since its very first printing. It can be used as a valuable introduction to metalworking-fluid technology for those new to it, as well as a useful review and expansion of knowledge for experienced personnel."
—Alan Eachus, Independent Consultant, Villa Park, Illinois, USA

"Now, the Third Edition has been developed, with updates, applied science, and topics regarding fluid management and costs. I have no doubt it will be widely accepted and eagerly sought for labs and libraries from industry, to academia."
— Karen Rich Eisenhauer, Integrilube, Bonita Springs, Florida, USA

"This book is an excellent compilation of many years’ experience of the foremost industry experts. It is comprehensive and thorough in scope and makes for very interesting reading."
—Don Smolenski, Retired from General Motors, Grosse Pointe, Michigan, USA

"This book provides a good overview of the chemistry and applications of metalworking fluids and should be a mandatory reference for anyone involved in the formulation, testing and application of MWFs, as well as those supplying raw materials to the industry. It is also a good reference in preparing for the Certified Metalworking Fluid Specialist exam, sponsored by STLE."
— Patrick E. Brutto, ANGUS Chemical Company, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, USA

"This book has done nothing but improve with each iteration. It is relevant to the industry and my questions are always answered with researching within the previous books. This book is a true industry bible. I have visited the top MWF manufacturers and they all have this book on site as a key reference. Kudos for the team!"
—Marcia Fournier, Metal Working industry for 32+ years, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

From the Publisher

The book is more practical than most in that it addresses the concerns of users and their managers as well as providing background for technologists and academics in the field.
