The separation or settling of graphite in forging lubricants can compromise the uniformity of the coating on the forging die. This inconsistency affects the lubricity and release properties and can result in stuck forgings that exacerbate press downtime. Inefficiencies in production are thus heightened, increasing operational costs. Furthermore, inadequate lubrication can result in a shorter die life, translating to more frequent replacements and increased resource expenditure. Poor lubrication and release also contribute to diminished part quality, leading to increased scrap and rework, which amplifies both material usage and waste disposal concerns. These issues can compound during difficult press work or automated forging processes.
