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.
These pressings had to be dry 20-30 min after leaving the press and accept self adhesive foam without prior degreasing or wiping.
The current supplier of vanishing oil, which had been imported from USA, had stopped supplying.
The company only discovered this when it placed an order and found the product unavailable.
The company initially approached another oil supplier.
Unfortunately the sample of vanishing oil sent did not meet the customers' requirements.
The residue stopped the adherence of the self adhesive foam and the drying time was far too long anyway.
John Neale quickly visited the presswork factory to view the process and discuss the problem in detail.
It quickly became apparent that a fast evaporating zero residue vanishing oil would be the best option.
John Neale told manufacturingtalk.com that a sample of Vanishing oil VPN-40 was supplied the same day for trials.
Test work on the press showed it to give sufficient lubrication.
Drying time was excellent, and the self adhesive foam adhered very well.
The same afternoon the customer placed an order for the product.
John Neale said it was able to deliver the product to the customer the following morning, enabling the customer to meet production schedules.
John Neale said that good service and excellent technology with an understanding of application requirements makes it an excellent partner for supply.
