How does the factory choose the right wire drawing oil?

Introduction: In the process of metal wire drawing, the choice of wire Drawing Oil is crucial. It is not only related to production efficiency and product quality, but also affects the service life of the mold and environmental protection. So, how can the factory choose the right Wire Drawing Oil? This article will provide you with a set of systematic selection guides based on practical applications.

1. Understand the classification and performance of wire Drawing Oil

According to the composition classification, wire Drawing Oil can be divided into:

Oil-based wire drawing oil: Based on mineral oil, anti-wear agents, extreme pressure agents and other additives are added, suitable for high-speed and heavy-load wire drawing processing.

Water-based wire drawing oil: Based on water, emulsifiers, lubricants, etc. are added, suitable for occasions with high requirements for environmental pollution.

Semi-synthetic wire drawing oil: between oil-based wire drawing oil and water-based wire drawing oil, with good lubricity and cooling.

According to the purpose classification, wire drawing oil can be divided into:

Cold drawing oil: Suitable for cold drawing processing, with good lubricity and certain cooling.

Hot drawing oil: Suitable for hot drawing processing, with high high temperature resistance.

2. Consider the specific requirements of wire drawing

Metal material: Different metal materials have different performance requirements for wire drawing oil. For example, stainless steel wire drawing requires the use of wire drawing oil with good wear resistance and rust resistance.

Wire drawing process: Different types of wire drawing oil are selected according to different wire drawing processes (such as dry drawing, wet drawing, continuous drawing, etc.). Dry drawing process may prefer to use oily wire drawing oil, while wet drawing process may be more suitable for water-based or semi-synthetic wire drawing oil.

Wire drawing speed and load: High-speed and heavy-load wire drawing processes require the use of wire drawing oil with good extreme pressure performance to reduce friction and wear.

3. Steps to choose the right wire drawing oil

Determine processing requirements: Analyze parameters such as metal material, wire drawing process, processing speed and load, and clarify the basic performance requirements of wire drawing oil.

Consult suppliers: Consult professional wire drawing oil suppliers to understand the characteristics and applicable scope of wire drawing oils of different brands and types.

Sampling test: Obtain wire drawing oil samples from suppliers and test them in the actual production environment of the factory. The test content includes lubricity, cooling, rust resistance, cleanliness, etc.

Evaluate performance: According to the test results, evaluate whether the performance of the wire drawing oil meets the production requirements. At the same time, consider factors such as the cost of using the wire drawing oil and the environmental impact.

Determine a cooperative relationship: Select a wire drawing oil supplier with excellent performance, reasonable price and thoughtful service to establish a long-term cooperative relationship.

IV. Precautions

Safety: Ensure that the wire drawing oil meets the relevant national safety standards and is harmless to the human body and the environment.

Environmental protection: With the increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations, choosing environmentally friendly wire drawing oil has become an inevitable choice for enterprises. Water-based wire drawing oil and semi-synthetic wire drawing oil are increasingly favored because of their easy biodegradation and low pollution.

Economic efficiency: Consider the economic efficiency of wire drawing oil on the premise of meeting production needs. It is not the most expensive wire drawing oil that is the best choice. The right cost performance is the key.

Storage conditions: Understand the storage conditions of wire drawing oil to avoid performance degradation due to improper storage.

V. Summary

Choosing the right wire drawing oil is the key to ensure the smooth progress of metal wire drawing processing. When choosing wire drawing oil, factories should fully understand the classification and performance of wire drawing oil, combine their own processing needs, and select the most suitable wire drawing oil through scientific testing and evaluation. At the same time, pay attention to the safety, environmental protection and economy of wire drawing oil to achieve the production goals of high efficiency, environmental protection and low cost. With the continuous advancement of technology, wire drawing oil products will become more diversified, providing more comprehensive support for the metal processing industry.
