WATER-BASE LUBRICANT FOR PLASTIC FORMING

摘要

The present invention provides an aqueous lubricant for plastic working which comprises (a) 10 to 40% by mass of a solid lubricating agent; (b) 2 to 20% by mass of an attaching agent having both lubricating and dispersing properties; (c) 2 to 20% by mass of an agent having both wetting characteristics and moisture evaporation-accelerating actions; and water. The use of this lubricant solves problems associated with conventional aqueous lubricants such that it has insufficient lubricating property and likewise permit the completion of a plurality of continuous plastic working steps, starting from a raw material and extending over a final product, without suspending a series of these plastic working steps in the middle thereof.
