Forming & Protection

Metalworking fluids are essential for surface processing. But what composition do they have? And which ingredients are used? Learn more. Fluid Composition Fundamentals When machining speeds were limited by muscle power, heat generation played only a minor role. When machines …

Cold forming is a metalworking process where materials are shaped under significant compressive or tensile forces  with or without minimal preheating. This distinguishes cold forming from hot forming, with the dividing line being the recrystallization temperature. Formation of Material Microstructure …

We are surrounded by products made from diverse materials and shapes. Manufacturing processes transform raw materials like metal or plastic into semi-finished products such as bars, tubes, and sheets. These intermediate forms are then processed further to create finished products, …

The flash point is a fundamental safety parameter used to assess the hazards associated with flammable liquids. In surface treatment and processing, cleaning agents, solvents, paints, coatings, and lubricants are widely used — and many of them are flammable. Measures …

« Mitigating the Effects of Influencing Factors on Plastic Aging » The aging of plastics is a slow process during which irreversible changes occur within the material. Although aging cannot be prevented, appropriate measures can delay it. This requires an …

Steel is found in nearly every aspect of daily life—houses, bridges, tools, and machines. While  it is not a lightweight metal, steel is relatively easy to shape and provides tremendous structural strength. Pure steel, however, cannot be used directly as …

« Passive and Active Corrosion Protection – We explain the differences » Passiver und aktiver Korrosionsschutz umfasst alle technischen Maßnahmen, die dazu dienen, Werkstoffe vor der Zerstörung durch Umgebungseinflüsse zu schützen. Der Sauerstoff und die Feuchtigkeit in der Atmosphäre setzen …

Drying and corrosion protection through water displacement Metal parts can be dried in many ways, including through the application of heat.  However, this drying method has the drawback of being energy-intensive and time-consuming. Most importantly, there is no absolute guarantee …

The term “emulsion splitting” encompasses various methods applied in wastewater treatment. Emulsions are mixtures of liquids that do not dissolve into each other. Emulsifiers are necessary to create a stable emulsion. When it becomes necessary to separate the liquids, for …

« Effective against animal oils and fats, tar, wax, natural and synthetic resins » Cold cleaners are often the preferred solution when it comes to removing oils and fats or stubborn residues containing dust, dirt, and wax. In metalworking as …
