Abstract:
In one aspect the invention is a carrier-free pulverulent metalworking lubricant containing a resin having a highly polar functional group, and in another aspect is a method of the invention of forging a workpiece in a die which includes the step of applying to at least one of the die and the workpiece a coating of an effective amount of the carrier-free pulverulent lubricant composition. The use of the composition and method of the invention significantly reduces smoke and oily waste generation in hot forging operations by eliminating the use of oils or volatile organic compounds as carriers, while providing acceptable performance, cleanability, and sprayability.
Abstract:
A carrier-free pulverulent metalworking lubricant composition. In one preferred form, the composition contains at least two lubricant components one of which comprises a resin having a highly polar functional group the composition being formed by a method comprising the steps of: (a) forming a dry mixture of said particulate lubricant components, and (b) agglomerating said admixture to form agglomerated particles. The application of the composition as a metal working lubricant significantly reduces smoke and oily waste generation in hot forging operations by eliminating the use of oils or volatile organic compounds as carriers, while providing acceptable performance, cleanability, and sprayability.
