One of the world’s most prevalent manufacturing methods, metal forming generates shaped alloy products used in everything from small electronic devices to massive construction projects. The process involves turning raw material into specific forms using compressive forces, but excessive wear can be an undesirable byproduct.
Minimize friction on your metal forming lines with JET-SET, a leading manufacturer of metal forming industrial lubrication systems. Capable of depositing precise amounts of lubricants on critical surfaces, they reduce the likelihood of irregularities that can disrupt productivity.
Why Does Friction Matter For Metal Forming?
A subset of fabrication, metal forming is a set of processes involving reshaping metals still in a solid state using compressive forces. Moving a solid piece of metal from its current shape into the desired form without melting eliminates potential difficulties with handling molten metal and maintaining material integrity. The most common methods are roll forming, extrusion, press braking, stamping, forging, and casting.
Unmitigated friction can result in increased energy consumption and tool wear, too. In addition, it can generate internal and surface defects. Many issues can develop when tooling and workpiece surfaces come into direct contact without proper lubrication.
