Lubricated wire drawing powder is a specialized powder compound used in the wire drawing process to reduce friction, prevent metal wear and facilitate smooth wire drawing. It acts as a lubricant and coolant to ensure minimal resistance as the wire passes through the die. The main function of wire drawing powder is to form a film or layer between the wire and the die, thereby reducing heat generation, improving surface finish and enhancing the mechanical properties of the wire during the drawing process. Soapstone is one of the main ingredients in wire drawing powder due to its lubricating properties. It helps reduce friction between the wire and the die, thereby minimizing wear on the wire and the die. Graphite is another commonly used material in wire drawing lubricants. It has high thermal conductivity and lubricating properties, which helps reduce heat generation, which would otherwise cause the wire to become brittle or deform during the wire drawing process. Molybdenum disulfide is a high-performance lubricant that performs well under pressure conditions. It is particularly useful in drawing operations involving heavy metals such as steel or alloys, which generate high pressure and friction.
