Biobased metal forming lubricant can be welded through

Metalloid Corp. offers Addvance 5430, a multifunctional metal forming lubricant for soft metals. The oil-free lubricant is manufactured with natural ingredients that are both biodegradable and biorenewable.

The lubricant can be used as received or diluted with water to form metal parts. Applications include deep drawing and extruding aluminum alloys, end forming aluminum and copper tubing, progressive-die stamping of low-carbon steel coil stock, and copper or aluminum wire drawing.

The USDA-certified biobased product can be welded through or annealed. It can be cleaned off in low-alkaline cleaners.
