Lubricants are used for one or more reasons which include protecting sheet metal surfaces against corrosion and stains, reduce friction to enhance formability, clean metal surface, improve quality, and reduce scrap. The lubricants are classified as:
Mill Oil:
Mill applied primarily for the corrosion protection of sheet metal.
Pre-Lube:
Mill or press applied to enhance formability and to protect sheet metal.
Hotmelt:
Semi-solid or solid film used to enhance formability.
Blankwash:
Used to clean the coil/blank and enhances formability.
Drawing Compound:
Press applied to enhance formability and protect metal parts during storage.
Treatments:
Additional layers to enhance formability (removable in paint).
The lubricants can be oil based, liquid or solid, and/or synthetic or non-synthetic.
Acceptance criteria for performance and process requirements will be specified by each region.
