Metal drawing lubricants are specialized substances used in metalworking processes, such as wire drawing, tube drawing, or deep drawing, where metals are pulled or stretched through a die to form specific shapes. These lubricants help reduce friction between the metal and the die, improve surface finish, and prevent damage to both the tool and the metal workpiece.

Types of Metal Drawing Lubricants

Oil-based lubricants:
Provide excellent lubrication, cooling, and protection for metals like aluminum, copper, and steel.

Water-based lubricants:
Easier to clean and environmentally friendly, often used for non-ferrous metals.

Synthetic lubricants:
Designed for high performance, offering superior cooling and lubrication.

Dry film lubricants:
Used in specialized applications for high-stress metals like stainless steel and titanium, providing a solid protective barrier.
