High-Temperature Lubricants for Extreme Metal Forming
Metal forming at extreme temperatures demands lubrication systems that resist thermal degradation while maintaining a robust hydrodynamic film. Our specialized high-temperature formulations ensure process stability above 800°C without generating abrasive ash or toxic off-gassing.
Overcoming the Thermal Degradation Barrier
In hot forging and metal forming applications, the tool-to-workpiece interface is subjected to immense thermal shock and high contact pressures. Traditional graphited water-based or heavy oil lubricants frequently suffer from phase separation, uneven film distribution, and rapid oxidization.
When lubrication failure occurs due to thermal degradation, direct metal-to-metal contact results in galling, micro-welding, and premature die failure. This disrupts continuous manufacturing cycles and necessitates costly die polishing and replacement.
Synthesizing Thermal Resistance
PROMET tackles this engineering challenge through advanced tribological formulation. By utilizing thermally stable synthetic base fluids combined with specifically engineered release agents, our industrial lubricants for hot forming maintain their structural integrity at temperatures where standard compounds fail.
These specialized boundary lubricants form an instantaneous, resilient protective layer upon contact with hot dies. The optimized evaporation curve ensures a clean, residue-free environment, effectively mitigating tool wear and improving the overall metallurgical quality of the formed components.
