A lubricant for use in processing of a metallic material includes a lubricant base composed of at least one paraffinic hydrocarbon and a modifier oil added to the lubricant base at a rate of 2-20 wt % of total weight of the lubricant. The modifier oil contains (a) a sulfuric extreme pressure agent, (b) a rust inhibitive agent and (c) a calcium ingredient. Content of sulfur is 0.5-20 wt % of total weight of the modifier oil. Content of the rust inhibitive agent is 0.1-15 wt % of total weight of the modifier oil. Further, content of calcium is 0.1-15 wt % of total weight of the modifier oil.

Lubricants for use in processing of metallic material and methods for processing the metallic material using the lubricants

To provide a lubricant for metallic material working and a method of press working a metallic material that makes it possible to improve the working accuracy of a press worked product and prolong the life of the die assembly beyond prior levels of life. [Solution] A lubricant for metallic material working comprises a mixture of a sulfur-based extreme pressure agent, an organic zinc compound, a calcium-based additive, and an ester compound, with lubricant base oil. The sulfur-based extreme pressure agent has a sulfur content of 5% by weight or higher based on the total weight of the lubricant. The organic zinc compound has a zinc content of 0.5% by weight or higher based on the total weight of the lubricant. The calcium-based additive has a calcium content of 0.5% by weight or higher based on the total weight of the lubricant. And the ester compound occupies a content of 1.0% by weight or higher based on the total weight of the lubricant. Additionally, the solution includes a method of press working a metallic material that employs such a lubricant.

Lubricant for metallic material working and a method of press working a metallic material

A lubricant for use in processing of a metallic material includes a lubricant base and additives added to the lubricant base. The additives include a sulfuric extreme pressure agent, a rust inhibitive agent and a calcium ingredient. Content of sulfur contained in the sulfuric extreme pressure agent is not less than 0.5 wt % of total weight of the lubricant and not greater than 20 wt % of total weight of the lubricant. Content of the rust inhibitive agent is not less than 0.1 wt % of total weight of the lubricant and not greater than 15 wt % of total weight of the lubricant. Further, content of calcium contained in the calcium ingredient is not less than 0.1 wt % of total weight of the lubricant and not greater than 15 wt % of total weight of the lubricant.
