    Studies of Cost Reduction and Productivity Increases for Hot Forging Die Lubricants

    Aug. 15, 2013
    Graphite-free, water-soluble forging die lubricants have played a crucial role in increasing die life and increasing productivity, especially in the case of small- to medium-sized forgings. Productivity improvement, die life improvement and cost benefits analysis of graphite-free, water-soluble die lubricant as compared to graphite-based and other popular lubricants are given in a series of comparative studies for different forged products.
