Undoubtedly, one of the most crucial steps in the metal stamping process is lubrication. Any metal-forming process will quickly succumb to excessive wear, resulting in galling, scoring, and part cracking without the necessary lubrication.
Microscopic peaks or asperities on the metal to be shaped as well as the tools that will work on it cause a lot of friction when the two surfaces slide against one another. The term “metal stamping lubrication” describes the application of a lubricating coating that shields each surface from the imperfections of the other.
The main function of lubricants in the metal stamping process is to minimise friction through lubricity.
In turn, this safeguards expensive tooling and lessens the possibility of defects in metal forming, such as galling, scoring, welding, etc. Lack of lubrication or inappropriate lubricant application can cause expensive tooling to be damaged by thousands of dollars worth of poorly formed parts.
The Global stamping lubricant market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
CONFIRM series designed for cutting and stamping metals, drawing on technical proficiency and knowledge in the field of cold metal-forming. This Increases output and upgrades all equipment, Efficiency, and Increases the lifetime of tools.
Replace neat oils with soluble oils. Replace the chlorine. Aid lubricant application / Master the deposit weight. Avoid or limit degreasing post-treatments.
An oil-free lubricant called the 3900 Series Advanced Formula Metal Stamping Nano-Emulsion was created to satisfy the needs of all types of metal stampers. A wide variety of stamping processes have been used to validate this product.
Leading automakers have approved the 3900 Series after subjecting it to the most stringent adhesion, clean-ability, and non-foaming performance testing. Low viscosity means that less product is needed at the press, and complete wetting qualities, which preserve maximum surface tension, offer lubricity at the form.
A new lubrication system from Industrial Innovations was just introduced, and it allows highly viscous lubricants to be applied to stamping or drawing tools at predetermined press stroke intervals.
The Spra-Rite Ultra Lube System is perfect for smaller shops that process high-strength and sophisticated materials because it features a distinctive pedestal design that enables simple transfer from press to press.
The turnkey system’s air-controlled, fine flow-adjustable nozzles can atomize lubricant into an ultra-fine spray. Users can now apply lubricant in various volumes, from tiny amounts to full flow. 200-part recipes can be stored in the process control module, which also allows numerical programming for up to 10 injector valves.
IRMCO Advanced Lubricant Technologies, a leading provider of oil-free metal forming and tube bending lubricants, has announced the creation of the first synthetic stamping lubricant for automotive electro-galvanized and galvanized metals.
Alternatives to typical chlorinated oils, coloured pastes, water-soluble oils, and synthetic metal forming/stamping lubricants that are high-performance, clean, non-oily, and environmentally sound are IRMCO FLUIDS.
