With the growing demand for higher density and strength in sintered parts, the high-density SEGLESS KP Series was developed by blending a high-density lubricant that enables the density of compacted powder to be increased at low cost, unlike conventional densification processes (warm forming, 2P2S).
- 1. High lubricity / high compressibility
Due to the high lubricity, the load placed on a die is reduced, extending its lifespan.
In addition, as a high-density compacted powder can be achieved by reducing the amount of lubricant additive, forming pressure can be suppressed more than previously, enabling press downsizing.
- 2. High degradability
As the lubricant has excellent degradability, staining or flaws on the surface of a sintered body can be prevented.
