The GP/PDH lubrication system from
Decalub is used in demanding drawing
applications, allowing high drawing
speeds, with all carbon steel rods/wires,
mechanically descaled or acid cleaned,
bare or pre-coated, including spring wire
and high-tensile rope wire.
The system has the unique ability to
convert a solid lubricant into a liquefied
solution and maintain its thermal stability
at all drawing speeds (18m/sec for spring
wire with improved wire ductility),
eliminating the need for wet pre-coatings
for all drawing applications from rod,
including mechanically descaled 0.90
%C bare rod drawn directly without
pre-coating chemicals.
The GP/PDH system performs a
high-performance wire rod dry coating
with completely fused lubricant deposited
instantaneously, in five microseconds,
operating at zero energy consumption,
performing a high-density strongly
adherent hard anti-friction (anti-wear)
multi-layer coat with adjustable coating
weight at will, completely eliminating
the need for phosphate and borax
wet pre-coating chemicals. The GP/
PDH lubrication system prevents
metal-to-metal contact at the wire-die
interface, enabling frictionless drawing,
and providing superior surface quality
and improved wire ductility.
