Advanced High Strength & Ultra High Strength Steel substrates:
- Much higher tensile strengths and work hardening characteristics compared to convention steels.
- Continually expanding use for automotive light-weighting and safety purposes.
- Increased lubrication demands due to increased forming pressures.
- Conventionally used for automotive support and protective structures.
IRMCO SOLUTIONS FOR AHSS / UHSS STEEL METAL-STAMPING:
- All IRMCO FLUIDS® products are free of oil and chlorinated paraffins.
- Require less energy and less aggressive aqueous cleaning chemistry to remove.
- Often welded through without removal from part surfaces*.
- Better biodegradability than conventional, oil-based, and chlorinated paraffin-containing lubricants.
- Cleaner running in-process allows for easier part inspection.
