Special Wire Drawing Lubricant

WongSteel Special Wire Drawing Lubricant is a high-performance auxiliary material developed by Beijing Yijing Technology for segmented metal wire drawing processes. Based on two core systems: **Calcium Soap** and **Sodium Soap**, it enables precise selection according to wire material, surface treatment requirements and subsequent processes. It is a core consumable to ensure stable drawing process, improve finished wire quality and production efficiency.

For **mild steel wire** pretreated by mechanical descaling or acid pickling, **low to medium fat content calcium soap lubricants** are generally recommended. This series of lubricants have excellent extreme pressure anti-wear performance and film-forming ability, which can form a dense and firm lubricating film on the contact surface between the wire and the die, effectively reducing the drawing friction resistance, reducing mold wear and defects such as wire surface scratches and pulls. At the same time, the lubricating grease content is controlled evenly, adapting to the dry drawing production of conventional carbon steel wire, significantly improving the drawing die life and dimensional stability of the finished wire. It is widely used in conventional wire processing fields such as construction steel bars and general hardware wire.

If the wire surface requires **excellent cleanliness** to meet subsequent processes such as plating or copper plating, **water-soluble sodium soap lubricants** should be used for **at least the final few drawing passes**. The sodium soap system uses water as the dispersion medium, which has excellent water solubility and cleaning performance. It can completely remove metal debris and oil generated during the drawing process, avoiding residual impurities on the wire surface or in the die hole. From the source, it ensures the cleanliness of the wire surface, provides a qualified base for subsequent processes such as plating and copper plating, and reduces mold clogging and downtime frequency, improving the overall operation efficiency of the production line. It is suitable for high-precision wire processing with stringent requirements on surface cleanliness such as high-grade welding wire, precision spring wire and special plating wire.

Relying on WongSteel's technical accumulation in the field of metal wire processing, we can provide one-to-one professional selection schemes and technical support according to customers' wire materials, equipment types, process parameters and subsequent process requirements, helping enterprises optimize lubrication costs, stabilize product quality, and achieve efficient and green wire deep processing production.
