Project Scope
Replace competitive, synthetic stamping lubricant that produced staining and white corrosion on deep drawn galvanized parts and built-up ZN residue on tooling.
Results
IRMCO replaced the competitive lubricant with a synthetic stamping lubricant that eliminated staining/corrosion, and improved tool life.
IRMCO’s IMPACT
- Eliminated staining & corrosive attack of the part’s zinc coating.
- Prevented “pick-up” of zinc on tooling & punches – improving tool life & efficiency.
- Lowered concentration of IRMCO lubricant by 10%.
- Produced lower temperature, cleaner parts exiting the press.
Material
Galvanized EDDS steel coil – 0.097” (2.46mm) thickness.
Product Used
IRMCO FLUIDS® 146-892 @ 7:1 dilution ratio (12.5%)
