Deep drawing oil

Stainless steel deep drawing – stamping lubricant

Metal drawing machine lubrication is critical for reducing friction, heat management, and improving die life. Proper lubrication ensures smooth deep drawing and stamping of steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. Selection depends on the metal type and process severity, often involving water-soluble coolants for speed and neat oils for maximum lubrication.

The deep drawing forming process, classified under sheet metal working, is a promising and essential metal forming process that has attracted much interest due to its wide application in micro-production. The process parameters, such as the cross-head speed of the machine, have a significant influence on the quality of the product

Molylub StampDraw series formiung oils

An improved method of lubrication in a deep drawing process utilizes a plurality of distinct plastic sheets, loosely overlying one another, laid across at least one major surface of a flat blank to be drawn. In preferred practice, a pair of such distinct plastic sheets are laid across each of the opposed major surfaces of a flat blank in preparation for a drawing operation.

Molylyb StampDraw series drawing oils form an adsorbed film, and they take the form of light or soluble oils such as straight mineral oil or emulsions of soluble oil and soap, or of heavy oils, fats, and greases such as tallow or lard oil

One of the most common metalworking methods is drawing, which involves forming flat sheet metal into cup-shaped parts. If the depth of the formed cup is equal to or greater than the radius of the cup, the process is called deep drawing. Deep drawing involves placing a sheet metal blank over a shaped die and pressing the metal into the die with a punch

Most metal forming processes use lubricants based on mineral or synthetic oils as an intermediate medium to reduce friction and wear. To avoid some drawbacks of oil lubrication, a novel and environment friendly lubrication system for deep-drawing processes was created. Special gases wre being used as volatile lubrication during the deep-drawing process, locally injected at high pressure through laser-drilled microholes. This new tribological system provides a significantly enlarged working range till larger drawing depths compared to conventional oil lubrication
