Lubricant additives benefit SS tube drawing
Work to significantly enhance the lubrication of highly chlorinated tube drawing lubricants - and deep drawing - has lead to the discovery of additives which offer considerable performance benefits.
Lubricants smooth severe cold metal reductions
A range of lubricants can be applied as a coating for the most severe cold reductions in stainless steel alloy, and titanium and are suitable for the most arduous operations.
John Neale has developed new technology lubricants to allow for the severe bending of titanium and stainless steel without the need for chlorinated additives.
This chemistry is based on a blend of novel polymers and polymeric fatty materials which together give the film strength and lubricity required for the most difficult processes.
BAE Systems were the first to try this new chemistry and successfully replaced chlorinated lubricant for their titanium tube manipulation.
Using this as a springboard John Neale has offered this product to many other companies seeking a non-hazardous, chlorine-free lubricant to replace chlorinated lubricants in many deep drawing and forming applications.
Eaton Aerospace has now also started using this product on the forming of large diameter titanium tubes with significant reductions in scrap rate due to much improved and consistent performance.
This product type has now had proven success in stainless steel tube forming on the most arduous motor-sport applications where very tight radius on stainless steel is required, our product again proving to be the best they had ever tested.
This is just one of a family of new technology chlorine-free lubricants for arduous forming, tube drawing, tube bending applications.
