Frequently Asked Questions
What is Forging Lubricant Used For?
Forging lubricant is used to reduce friction and wear between the forging die and the workpiece during the hot or cold forging process. It helps improve the surface finish of the forged parts, extends die life, and prevents metal from sticking to the dies, ensuring higher production efficiency and consistent quality in metal shaping operations.
What is Forging Lubricant Made Of?
Forging lubricants are typically made from a combination of base oils and additives designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures. Common components include mineral oils, synthetic oils, graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and other solid lubricants. These ingredients help provide excellent lubrication, oxidation resistance, and thermal stability during the forging process.
