Let's list the main types of emulsion emulsions for drawing and rolling and their key features.
Low carbon wire lubricants
For wire drawing with low carbon content, mechanically descaling or pickling, experts recommend the use of medium fat calcium soaps. If, after drawing, you need a cleaner surface (for galvanizing or copper plating), you can use sodium soap (it is easy to wash off).
High Carbon Wire Lubricants
For wires with a high carbon content, calcium soaps with a medium fat percentage are required. Differences in the behavior of sodium and calcium lubricants during drawing, process speed and surface roughness affect the need to combine lubricants: the higher the drawing speed, the more widely sodium lubricants should be used.
For phosphated wire, it is better to use calcium greases with a high percentage of fillers, so you get the wire of the desired color.
Stainless steel wire lubricants
Modern synthetic lubricants http://m-czksk.ru/ protect the wire in case of severe deformation. Experts advise using vegetable oil based emulsions to coat austenitic wires.
Welding wire lubricants
For drawing, calcium soaps are often used, which can provide strong adhesion in the first passes, and then sodium soaps in further passes. Additionally, you can use sodium soaps containing fillers in all broaches.
Cable wrapping tapes
Cable wrapping tapes are required to protect the fibers and cable cores from water ingress. They reduce the weight of the product and make it easier to cut. Special coated tapes can be single or double layer. They must be stored in a frost-free room in a clean, dry place. Lids on containers should be closed and labeled. The recommended storage temperature is indicated by the manufacturer depending on the type of tape.
