Abstract—Importance of lubrication In a Hot Forging process and die lubrication is the key for quality and productivity. Lubrication, however, is not an easy job and is very dependent on the right selection of parameters such as: Lubricant and application types, team supervision and operator experience, even when fully automated systems are employed. A lubricant for forging dies is a chemical compound that has a formulation that makes possible the forging process to be carried out within the limits and parameters considered by the forging industry. An attempt here has been made to elaborate and discuss the different aspects of the topic.
