PRODUCT INFORMATION
Hasco Forge FE4-329A
Water Based Forging Lubricant
Product Description
Hasco Forge FE4-329A is a high performance, water based forging lubricant engineered to provide excellent lubrication to extend die life and reduce scrap. The distinctive chemistry of FE4-329A reduces the risk of fires, minimizes die buildup, and enhances operator acceptance.
Applications
- Performance comparable to oil based forging lubricants
- Reduces consumption over oil based lubricants
- Water based to reduce the risk of fires and greatly lower VOC’s
- Minimal smoke, low odor, and lead free technology improves operator acceptance
- Acts as a good parting agent to prevent parts from sticking in the dies and minimize downtime
- Minimizes heavy dye build up
- Suspends graphite to reduce packing and lessens the need for agitation
- FE4-329A should be applied by low pressure spray equipment for optimum performance
- Continuous agitation is recommended to ensure even distribution of the graphite
Features
- FE4-329 is designed for the hot forging of aluminum alloys for the automotive and aerospace industries where dye temperatures are typically between 650°F and 750°F
- Certain applications and conditions may allow the product
to be used at temperatures outside of this range - Although FE4-329A was designed for near-net aluminum applications, FE4-329A has been found to perform well in general purpose titanium applications.
- This product may be suitable for some grades of steel
- FE4-329A is designed to be used a received
