PROJECT NAME: Increasing Production Efficiency

SUBJECT OF THE PROJECT: Decreasing the Die Face Lubricant Consumption at Production

AIM OF THE PROJECT: Decreasing The Cost Of Die Casting Process By Improving The Ratio Of “Casting Material (Kg) / Die Face Lubricant Usage (Kg)”

 

Our Customer, who manufactures their parts by Aluminium Metal Injection Process, wanted to decrease their costs. They have analysed that the most consuming material was DIE FACE LUBRICANT during their Die Casting Process.

Customer had adhesion problems, which can cause breakages at thin parts of the casting pieces by using the existing die face lubricant. Due to this, customer had production and efficiency losses. They decided to decrease and eliminate the adhesion problem by changing the die face lubricant.

Process parameters have observed and the existing working conditions have been determined by Petrofer team. Usage concentration of the existing Die Face Lubricant measured and it was found around 2%. The target was to decrease this concentration step by step by using our product.  Petrofer DIE LUBRIC 4052 S, water based Die Face Lubricant decided to be used during the trial.

On the studies of Pilot Presses, customer has achieved a good success with decreasing the concentration of die face lubricant from 2% to 1% at the most difficult dies of their process. Customer observed a significant increase in the rate of “Casting Tonnage/ Consuming Die Face Lubricant” during the trial period.

 

CONSUMPTION OF COMPETITOR’S PRODUCT:           1 TON: CASTING TONNAGE: 100 TON

CONSUMPTION OF DIE LUBRIC 4052 S:                      1 TON: CASTING TONNAGE: 200 TON

 

During our study; parts could separate more easily from the mould and the surface of the pieces observed brighter by using DIE LUBRIC 4052 S although the concentration was ​​much lower. DIE LUBRIC 4052 S has been provided following benefits;

      

  • homogeneous and stable lubricant film in the mould
           
  • prevent distortions and longer the mould lifetime
         
  • homogeneous temperature distribution
          
  • decrease in the production losses
           
  • decrease in the labor cost


    Finally, our product of
    DIE LUBRIC 4052 S has been preferred by customer for long term usage.
