TITANIUM FORGING LUBRICANTS & COATINGS

Titanium forging stands at the forefront of aerospace, automotive, and medical industries due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and
corrosion resistance. The forging process involves shaping titanium alloys at elevated temperatures, necessitating specialized lubrication techniques
to ensure optimal performance and quality.

Lubrication plays a pivotal role in titanium forging, mitigating friction and heat generation to prevent material adhesion and tool wear. Advanced
lubricants are engineered to withstand the unique challenges posed by titanium’s reactive nature and high operating temperatures, enhancing
process efficiency and component integrity.
Innovative lubrication solutions for titanium forging prioritize environmental sustainability and worker safety, adhering to stringent regulations and
industry standards. Non-toxic formulations minimize health risks and environmental impact, aligning with the principles of responsible manufacturing
practices.

The selection of lubricants for titanium forging is guided by factors such as material compatibility, thermal stability, and lubricity. High-performance
lubricants offer superior adhesion properties, ensuring uniform coverage and effective lubrication across intricate forging geometries.
YESKOLUBE is developing lubricants & pre-forge coatings tailored for titanium forging exhibit excellent anti-weld properties, preventing material
sticking and facilitating smooth metal flow during the forging process. This promotes dimensional accuracy and surface finish, essential for meeting
stringent quality requirements in aerospace and medical applications.

The synergy between titanium forging and YESKOLUBE’S advanced lubrication techniques underscores a commitment to innovation and
excellence in manufacturing, resulting in - industries can optimize titanium forging processes, unlocking new possibilities for lightweight, durable, and
high-performance components
