Drawing and Forming Fluids for Industrial Metalworking
In industrial metalworking, lubrication is essential for smooth, efficient operations. Drawing and forming oils play a key role in reducing friction and heat during metalwork forming and metalwork drawing. These oils help shape, cut, and form metal, improving both product quality and equipment longevity.
At Kernow Oils, we offer high-performance drawing oils and forming fluids designed for the demanding needs of metal forming. Whether you’re in automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing, our lubricants ensure maximum productivity while minimizing wear on equipment.
Why Drawing and Forming Lubricants Matter
Metal forming and metal drawing are crucial processes in shaping metal into precise components. During these operations, metal is stretched, compressed, or drawn. Without the right lubricant, the process can generate friction, heat, and wear on both tools and materials. This is where drawing oils and forming lubricants come in:
- Reduce Friction: High friction is common in shaping metal. Drawing and forming oils create a lubricating film that cuts down on friction, prevents heat buildup, and protects the equipment.
- Cool the Process: Forming metal generates heat. Our drawing fluids help dissipate this heat, keeping the material from distorting or weakening.
- Enhance Surface Finish: A good forming lubricant improves the metal’s surface, reducing defects and the need for post-process finishing.
- Extend Tool Life: By acting as a barrier between metal and equipment, drawing and forming fluids reduce tool wear, extending their lifespan and cutting maintenance costs.
Types of Forming & Drawing Fluids
Kernow Oils offers a wide range of drawing oils and forming fluids for different industrial metalworking applications:
