Surface wetting in forming technology

The microjet ^® minimum quantity lubrication technology allows strips, sheets, tubes, wires and profiles to be finely dosed and wetted with liquids prior to the forming processes. In order to avoid scoring and tool wear or breakage during the forming process, the surfaces of the parts or tools to be produced must first be wetted with suitable lubricants in a targeted and wafer-thin manner.

The microjet® minimum quantity lubrication technology doses and simultaneously breaks down the liquid into very fine particles by means of compressed air. The result is a fine and homogeneous mixture whose microparticles penetrate deep into the surface of the forming zone and adhere extremely well there.
