What Are The Requirements For Using Lubricants in Wire Drawing Machines?

The wire drawing machine is mainly used for wire drawing, so the quality of the wire drawing process will affect the wire drawing effect of the wire drawing machine. Therefore, today we will analyze the factors that influence lubricants on wire drawing, and then explain the basic requirements for lubricants. The specific contents are as follows.
If we summarize the influencing factors of lubricants on wire drawing, there are three main factors:
(1) Concentration
Increasing the concentration of lubricant can improve its lubrication effect. However, if its concentration is too high, the viscosity of the lubricant will increase, which will prevent the metal chips from settling and being suspended in the lubricant, which will worsen the surface quality of the product.
(2) Temperature
If the lubricant temperature is too high, its cooling effect will be reduced, causing the mold temperature to be too high, thereby shortening the service life of the mold. At the same time, it will also reduce the strength of the lubricating film and worsen the lubrication effect.
(3) Cleanliness
If there are impurities in the lubricant, it will greatly affect its lubrication effect and also affect the lubrication system of the equipment.
