Abstract

Due to increasing consumer demands for the quality of ferrous metal products obtained by drawing, ongoing work is underway to optimize technological processes and select lubricants for the production of metal rods, wire, pipes, and other articles. One of the main factors affecting drawing quality is the quality of the final semifinished product drawn in the coarse-medium drawing section. Furthermore, the lubricant used for drawing is an important parameter determining the quality of the final semifinished product in the coarse-medium drawing section. The lubricant must effectively and continuously separate the rubbing surfaces and adhere firmly to them, withstand high pressures, ensure minimal wear of the die channel, have no harmful effects on maintenance personnel, and be inexpensive. It should not sinter, decompose, or delaminate. To increase drawing speed, various additives and supplements are added to fatty acid salts to enhance the lubricants’ antifriction, extreme-pressure, antiwear, and anticorrosion properties. In this study, by modifying layered materials with fluorinated surfactants, a dry drawing lubricant was produced that improves product quality and increases drawing speed by enhancing tribological properties and hydrophobicity. A layered material such as molybdenum disulfide modified with organofluorine surfactants proved to be the most effective.
This work was prepared based on the results of research funded by the federal budget under a state assignment (research topic title: “Development of scientific and methodological foundations and methods for production and implementation of polymer, composite materials, and lubricant compositions for the benefit of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation”; research topic code assigned by the founder: FSFM-2024-0018).
