DESCRIPTION
LUBRIKA 202 is a very effective graphite in water hot forging die lubricant and release agent, especially formulated to be used
on hot forging press dies. It was developed taking into consideration the main operational parameters encountered in the forging
operations, especially those where the piece being forged is heavy and complex.
LUBRIKA 202 was conceived
to provide good to excellent performance within a wide range of die temperatures and other variables typical of the forging
operations.
Properly applied to the die cavities by spray atomization
LUBRIKA 202 will permit a smooth flow and release of the metal. Its coefficient of friction is extremely low.
LUBRIKA 202 is smokeless, nonflammable and has no harmful vapors.
Its unique formulation makes LUBRIKA 202 to remain stable, even at temperatures in which normally the
binder is decomposed. The graphite, its main active ingredient, has a very high carbon content, low ash, microscopic particle
size and hexagonal and plain geometry thus permitting a very continuous and homogeneous film formation over the dies. LUBRIKA
202 has excellent stability in automatic spray systems and central lube systems.
Specific advantages offered by LUBRIKA 202 include:
- Excellent lubricity
- Superb release
- Efficient die filling
- Lower associated Disposal costs
- Environmentally
friendly
- Uniform wetting of hot dies
- Extended die life
- Noncorrosive
Nonflammable
TYPICAL
APPLICATIONS
Hot
forging of crankshafts, connecting rods, steering shafts, piston heads and most of automotive parts.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
(As supplied)
| Solid lubricant: | | Processed micro graphite | | Solid
content: | | 28 to 30% | | Carrier/diluent: | | Demineralized
water | | Consistency: | | Thixotropic fluid | | Density: | | 1.12 gr/cm3 | | Freezing
point: | | 0°C | | Color: | | Gray to Black |
METHOD OF USE
LUBRIKA 202 is concentrated and must
be diluted with water prior to its application to the dies. The dilution ratio has to be determined according the weight,
complexity, and operating variables such as die temperature, speed of the operation, etc. Also factors such as type of atomization
nozzles and characteristics, distance of application and time of application will influence the determination of the most
suitable dilution ratio required. The correct dilution is made by adding water to the concentrate with moderate stirring.
A starting evaluation at 1:4 (product: water) is recommended. Dilution ratios, however, can exceed 1:10 (product: water) depending
on the forging operation.
METHOD
OF APPLICATION
Diluted LUBRIKA 202 must be only spray applied to the die cavities. Handguns or automatic equipments
such as reciprocators can be used for this purpose.
PRECAUTIONS
Reseal LUBRIKA 202 containers tightly
to prevent contamination. Avoid freezing.
See Material Safety Data Sheet for additional information on handling, precautions and first aid instructions.
