WEDOLiT METAL FORMING FLUIDS FOR PRECISION AND PERFORMANCE
Metal forming operations—such as stamping, deep drawing, fine blanking, bending, extrusion, and hydroforming—demand advanced fluids engineered to manage extreme pressures, friction, and heat. The right forming fluid is critical to achieving precise part geometry, superior surface finish, and extended tool life.
KEY TECHINCAL CHALLENGES
- Friction and Tool Wear:
High contact pressures create severe friction and wear. Stable lubricating films reduce friction coefficients, extend tool life, and minimize downtime. - Thermal Management:
Elevated temperatures during forming can degrade ordinary fluids. WEDOLiT fluids maintain film strength and cooling efficiency under thermal stress. - Sustainability and Process Efficiency:
Low-residue, easily removable fluids meet environmental standards, reduce cleaning effort, and ensure compatibility with downstream finishing processes.
- Surface Integrity:
Smooth, defect-free surfaces depend on a fluid’s lubricity, wetting ability, and residue behavior. Optimized balance prevents scoring, galling, and staining. - Fluid Stability and Cleanliness:
Long-life emulsions and synthetics resist microbial growth and contamination, supporting clean, low-maintenance operations.
HOW WEDOLiT FLUIDS DELIVER RESULTS
- Tailored mineral, semi-synthetic, and synthetic formulations for diverse metals and forming conditions.
- Advanced EP additives for consistent lubrication under high load and temperature.
- Thermally and chemically stable films for extended production reliability.
- Clean, low-residue lubricants that simplify washing, coating, and welding.
- Environmentally optimized formulations that reduce VOC emissions and align with global regulations
