Metal
forming lubricants for aluminum copper and brass
Choosing the proper
metal forming lubricant and metal stamping for non ferrous metals such as
aluminum, copper, and brass has become a difficult, complicated decision. Factors that influence choosing the right lubricant are: type of alloy, severity of the metal forming operation, metal stamping, application method and subsequent operations. General Chemical Corp. is an expert at solving metal forming or metal stamping problems. For an
aluminum lubricant or copper brass lubricant recommendation contact General Chemical; a proven world class leader in
aluminum lubricants, Motor oil, synthetic
lubricants and copper brass lubricants.
General Chemical offers a complete line of aluminum lubricants and
copper brass lubricants. The product line discussed below is design to handle the most stamping and deep drawing operations; however General Chemical can formulate lubricants to meet special requirements. These Aluminum lubricants and copper brass lubricants are available in 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums and 300 gallon totes.
VANISHING LUBRICANTS, VANISHING OILS :
Sometimes it is advantageous to use a lubricant that disappears after it has done its job. These materials leave a light coating of lubricant on the part during processing and then evaporate shortly thereafter. In many cases these lubricants can completely eliminate cleaning operations. Our vanishing oils will not turn tacky or gummy, have no odor and are designed to always stay fluid. Recommended for use on virtually all metals.
Chlorine Based :General purpose "Evaporative Lubricant" for light to Medium duty forming of all metals. Requires no post cleaning. Ideal to bend or stamp painted stock. No post heat treatment.
Metals: For All Metals Solvent: Vanishing oil Dilution: As supplied
General Chemical specializes in formulating vanishing oils motor oil and solvent based metal working lubricants. Vanishing oils evaporate leaving the surface dry and oil free; they eliminate cleaning and reduce costs. Some medium to heavy duty vanishing oils may leave a miniscule film, which generally does not require removal. All vanishing lubricants can be used on ferrous and nonferrous metals.
Genlube 2240: developed for the heat transfer and air conditioner industries used for fin forming, blanking, and light operations. Light duty stamping and drawing ferrous and nonferrous metals.
Genlube3010: engineered for ferrous and non ferrous metals. Used for forming, blanking, roll forming and perforating.
Genlube3830: a V.O.C free no flash point, and non flammable vanishing lubricant for roll forming ferrous and non ferrous welded tubing. Eliminates fire hazards and cleaning.
Gendraw2231: a high flash solvent based forming lubricant developed for the aluminum heat exchanger industry, where vacuum or thermal de-oiling process are used.
Soluble oil based stamping and drawing lubricants provide the lubricity of oil and oil soluble lubricity additives with cooling effect of water. These products permit faster press rates; insure dimensional accuracy, and promote excellent surface finish.
Rolube6001: Soluble oil concentrate used for hot and cold rolling of copper and brass. Non-staining, anneals clean. Use dilution 1:10 to 1:20
Gendraw3860: a heavy duty soluble oil concentrate, contains extreme pressure lubricity additives. Safe for all metals except titanium. Use dilutions 1to3 to 1:25
Genlube6001: Light to medium duty soluble oil concentrates for use on ferrous and nonferrous metals. Non-staining contains polar and boundary lubricants. Use dilutions 1:3 to 1:20
Genlube3250: heavy duty soluble oil concentrate for forming ferrous metals. Contains a passive extreme pressure lubricity additive. Use dilutions 1:3 to 1:2
Oil based lubricants containing boundary, polar and extreme pressure lubricity additives, they are used in severe forming operations such as deep draws and where severe ironing occurs.
Gendraw3850 a medium viscosity, heavy duty lubricant for forming ferrous metals and aluminum. Contains boundary and extreme pressure lubricity additives.
Features : Medium viscosity, boundary and extreme pressure lubricity
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS :
Synthetic metal forming lubricants are oil free. They provide the lubricity of oil based lubricants, the cooling effects of water plus superior metal wetting. They contain corrosion inhibitors, lubricity additives and mist suppressants.
Genlube3100: a heavy duty, oil free, synthetic lubricant, paste, contains polar and extreme pressure additives. For ferrous and nonferrous metals. Use dilution 1:3 to 1:10
Genlube3490: a copper wire drawing lubricant, high speed, clean annealing, polar lubricity. Use dilutions 1:1 to 1:4.
Genlube3520: a medium duty forming lubricant for copper and brass, non-staining. Use dilution 1:3 to 1:10
Genlube3570: is used for roll forming of ferrous and nonferrous metals. Excellent detergency to keep rolls clean. Use dilution 1:3 to 1:25.
Genlube3920: a heavy duty stamping and drawing lubricant for ferrous metals including stainless steel. Does not contain chlorine or sulfur. Use dilution 1:1 to 1:10
