Traditional wire drawing oil mainly includes mineral oil, volatile oil, boride soap-based dry film and soap-based compounds. With the improvement of tensile requirements of stainless steel, the shortcomings of traditional lubricating oil are gradually exposed. For example, mineral oil is difficult to mix, contains harmful flammable components, and is difficult to clean and directly weld; The volatile oil is flammable and toxic, which has little protective effect on tools and increases the VOC content in the workshop. Boride soap-based dry film will produce deposits on the die, and borax particles at the stamping place will become soft and sticky in wet environment; On the other hand, the disadvantage of soap-based compounds is that they are easy to adhere to stamping parts and will corrode soft metals and foams during cleaning.
Because water-based lubricants have many advantages that dry film lubricants do not have, since the early 1970s, countries have been studying water-based lubricants for deep utilization, and only the US Patent Office, the Japanese Patent Office and the European Patent Office have granted nearly 100 patents on water-based lubricants. IRMCO, founded in 194 1 year, invented an oil-free stamping lubricant with high efficiency and environmental protection, which can completely replace the traditional lubrication technology. It is a high polymer and molding lubricant, which is not only non-toxic, chemically stable, water-soluble and easy to clean, but also has unique heat seeking, high adhesion and high cleaning performance. It is mainly used for stamping and stretching, punching, punching, bending and other processes in the forming process of metal workpieces, and can complete the most difficult deep-drawing stamping and stretching. Compared with the traditional stainless steel wire drawing oil, it has great advantages.
