Metal forming lubricants are specialized fluids, oils, or greases applied during metalworking processes like drawing, stamping, forging, rolling, and extrusion. These lubricants reduce friction and wear between the metal workpiece and forming tools, ensuring smoother operations, extended tool life, and improved product quality.

Types of Lubricants

Water-based, oil-based, and synthetic lubricants are the primary types used, often tailored to the specific metal forming process and material.

These lubricants are essential for processes such as deep drawing, punching, or rolling, where metal surfaces are subjected to high pressure and temperature.
