In cold metal-forming applications, where processing is carried out continuously at high speeds, the die temperature rises due to accumulation of heat generated by friction and deformation. This heat leads to lubricant film breakdown and, subsequently, to seizure between the die and the workpiece. Actual process conditions were taken into consideration in evaluating antiseizure properties of lubricants by their maximum workable die temperature (MWT), where workpieces were formed without seizure. MWTs of lubricating oils were as follows: mineral oils: 100{degrees}-120{degrees}C; poly-{alpha}-olefin oils: 160{degrees}-170{degrees}C; polybutene oil: 150{degrees}C; ester oils: 90{degrees}C. MWTs of mineral oils or poly-{alpha}-olefins could be enhanced to around 300{degrees}C by combining them with phosphorous extreme pressure (EP) agents. An ordinary chemical conversion film, the lubricating film formed on the workpiece surface prior to working, was examined for reference. This film had an MWT of over 360{degrees}C. In addition to good antiseizure properties than lubricating oils, it had an unavoidable drawback of a color change to dark gray. With lubricating oils, the products had good luster, as long as seizure did not occur. However, in the case of oils containing phosphorus EP agents, surface degradation was recognized when the die temperature was over 250{degrees}C due to the reaction between the EP agent and the workpieces. 13 refs., 11 figs., 3 tabs.
