Applications
-
Lubricants are used in stamping and punching operations to reduce friction and wear between the die and the workpiece. This results in smoother edges, extended die life, and improved part quality.
-
In deep drawing processes, lubricants facilitate the smooth flow of metal into the die cavity, preventing tearing and wrinkling. This is essential for producing high-quality components such as automotive body panels and kitchen sinks.
-
Metal forming lubricants are crucial in extrusion processes where metal is forced through a die to create long shapes with consistent cross-sections. They help reduce friction, improve surface finish, and extend die life.
