Since the 1970’s, Quaker Houghton has been a significant supplier of forging process fluids. With every transition, we have been there: solving problems, reducing costs, and improving every step of the process – in plants worldwide.
In recent years, the Forging industry has been influenced by numerous challenges, including increasing environmental regulations, evolving customer demands, and the need to increase the productivity and efficiency of the whole manufacturing process chain. These challenges drive continuous development and evolution of the process to meet customer requirements such as:
All while increasing productivity and reducing costs, respectively.
A tailored lubrication solution for each specific process and a fundamental increase in the performance of forging fluids are essential to meet these requirements.
We bring even more to the field. Quaker Houghton has expanded its lubricant range through recent innovations to include new and unique forging lubricants to the market. This demonstrates our commitment to our customers in meeting their challenges and providing solutions from start to finish.
Because every operation is unique, at Quaker Houghton, our chemists, engineers, and industry experts work closely with our customers to determine the suitable lubricant for the precise needs of each application. As a result, the following are achieved:
Forging: Enhance Sustainability By Transitioning From Sawdust to Tailored Water-Graphite Fluids
The high pressures and temperatures generated in the hot and warm forging process demand lubricants that have what it takes to increase the life of machinery parts and dies by protecting them from corrosion and improving surface quality.
The Forging industry has been influenced by increasing environmental regulations, evolving customer demands, and the need to increase the productivity and efficiency of the whole manufacturing process chain.
The Challenge: parameters such as dies and punches life, the quantity of lubricant used by forged part as well as the productivity and the exact cost of each forged part.
The Challenge: To be competitive in a challenging market, the customer asked Quaker Houghton to analyze the possibilities of enhancing productivity and reduce overall cost.
The Challenge: The customer is a global engineering and manufacturing company, dedicated to delivering mass production solutions for mobility.
The Challenge: The customer is one of the largest international automotive suppliers in the area of steel and aluminum forging as well as subsequent machining.
