Sheet metal forming is a technology for shaping metal sheets. This technology is widely used in the automotive industry, particularly for producing body components ranging from simple to complex shapes. One of the problems encountered in the forming process is the inefficient use of oil for drawing and stamping.

Solution

To avoid inefficiency (waste), use the right oil that is specially formulated for drawing and stamping, so its usage is more economical.

Success Story

One of the renowned car manufacturers required a large amount of oil (wasteful) for drawing and stamping. This was done to ensure precise results and to prevent rust. Eonchemcals introduced the Wedolit N 22-3 product solution, which is a low viscous oil, specifically designed for drawing and stamping applications with the following features and benefits:

• Thixotropic technology, the oil will adhere to the required areas.
  
• Does not cause clogging in the spray nozzle.
  
• Hybrid product (corrosion protection and forming properties).
• Application at low temperatures, < 40°C.
• Can be used for all types of materials, with good performance for electro-galvanized steel (EG) and hot-dip galvanized steel (HDG).
• Approved by European automotive manufacturers such as VW-group, Mini, and BMW.

Trial Results

After conducting a trial of Wedolit N 22-3 at the company, the following results were obtained:
