1. The Dilemma in Manufacturing: Speed vs. Lifespan

In metal stamping, production speed and die lifespan are often seen as conflicting goals.
Increasing speed raises heat, friction, and impact, which accelerates die wear.
Reducing speed to protect the die, however, lowers productivity and weakens cost competitiveness.

Thanks to advances in lubrication technology, this dilemma is becoming increasingly solvable.

2. The Role of Stamping Oil: Beyond Simple Lubrication

High-quality stamping oil does far more than simply reduce friction.

• Friction reduction → Protects die surfaces and minimizes wear
• Cooling effect → Controls temperature rise during high-speed stamping
• Chip and debris removal → Prevents surface defects
• Uniform coating film → Improves product surface quality

In other words, lubrication is the key solution that allows for higher speed while preserving die life.

3. Features of the Latest Lubrication Solutions

Recently developed stamping oils offer the following technical features:

• Viscosity designed for high-speed operation
  → Maintains a stable lubrication film even under high-speed conditions, maximizing protection
• High-temperature additives
  → Delivers stable performance even at instantaneous temperatures above 200 °C
• Eco-friendly, water-soluble types
  → Improves workplace environment and reduces cleaning costs
• Die material-specific optimization
  → Customized lubrication for SKD11, tungsten carbide, high-speed steel (HSS), and more

4. Proven Application Results

In the case of an electronics components manufacturer that applied a latest-generation lubrication solution to its high-speed stamping line:

• 20% increase in punching speed
• Up to 1.5× longer die lifespan
• 30% reduction in defect rate

All achieved without any equipment modifications—simply by changing the lubricant.
