Effectiveness of metal forming oil in deep drawing operations

Below case study demonstrates the effectiveness of metal forming oil in deep drawing operations.

Customer: A leading Indian manufacturer of metal cookware offering a wide range of kitchenware and tableware solutions. The renowned brand with their integrated manufacturing facility caters to both domestic and international markets.

Operating conditions of Hydraulic Press machine: 

Issues faced by customer during metal drawing process: 

1. ‘Part failure’ of the sheet metal, i.e. defects in the formed metal part during the deep drawing operation 
2. Frequent unloading of the die leading to unplanned downtime and delayed production cycle  
3. Scratch marks and poor surface finish of the drawn product resulting in significant increase in rejection rates  

Considering the operational challenges encountered by the maintenance team, BECHEM’s team proposed a trial with its multifunctional forming oil, “Beruform MF 155 C”

Trial observations with Beruform MF 155 C : 

• Seamless drawing operations resulted in fewer interruptions and increased productivity

• Issue of frequent die unloading was addressed, reducing the operation cycle span

• Excellent surface finish on ‘cookers’ without scratch marks minimized material waste

• Eliminated the need for additional steps like welding or finishing, to conceal seams 

• Arrested the issue of ‘part heating’ preventing accelerated wear and tear on equipment

Result :  

Impressed by the significant decrease in material rejection rates and increased die life achieved with Beruform MF 155 C, the satisfied customer switched over to Beruform MF 155 C.
