High Performance Grease for Effective Lubrication of Forging Press

Carl Bechemindia20 Sep, 2024Other

Metal forging is the process by which metals are formed and shaped using compressive forces. Depending on temperature of the metal being worked upon, the process is classified into cold, warm and hot forging. Many automotive parts are forged due to unique advantages which include increased strength, different size/shape and mass production. A typical forging press involves the moving vertical ram, die casts, bolster plate, ejector and frame. The vertical rams apply gradual and controlled pressure to the die holding a heated metal workpiece, causing it to take the shape of the die cavity. Due to the extreme pressure and shock loads involved in the process, the type and quality of lubricant used affects performance of these ram-based vertical presses.
