AMLUBE® Lubricants & Coatings
Precision-Engineered Lubrication. Proven Performance.
AMLUBE® products are engineered to perform in the most demanding metalforming environments. Each lubricant and coating is developed with custom formulations to match your process requirements, helping improve part quality, extend tool and die life, and reduce total operating costs.
From forging and cold forming to high-temperature and specialty applications, AMLUBE® delivers reliable, repeatable performance where it matters most.
Graphite / Water Forging Lubricants
AMLUBE® graphite forging lubricants are manufactured using a proprietary dispersion process that preserves the natural lubricating qualities of graphite. Each formulation contains an optimized blend of graphite grades to ensure consistent performance under extreme heat and pressure.
Key benefits include:
- Excellent lubrication and oxidation resistance
- Improved metal flow and clean release
- Increased die life and reduced wear
- Enhanced part quality and surface finish
- Lower overall operating costs
AMLUBE® graphite dispersions are trusted solutions for demanding forging applications, including the production of seamless pipe.
Synthetic Forging Lubricants
AMLUBE® synthetic forging lubricants were developed as graphite-free alternatives for cleaner operations and simplified handling. These products are fully water-soluble, freeze-stable, and designed for efficient application across a wide range of equipment.
Designed for:
- Spray or swab application
- Mechanical presses, hammers, and upsetters
- Stable dilution with no agitation required
Easy water cleanup makes AMLUBE® synthetics a practical, low-maintenance solution for modern forging environments.
Boron Nitride Coatings
For isothermal applications requiring extended cycle times at elevated temperatures, AMLUBE® boron nitride coatings provide exceptional performance in vacuum environments.
These coatings are commonly used as:
- Stop-off coatings for welding and brazing
- Protective coatings for laser heat-treating processes
Engineered for thermal stability and consistent release, AMLUBE® boron nitride coatings support precision processing in high-temperature applications.
Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂) Coatings
AMLUBE® MoS₂ coatings utilize high-purity molybdenum disulfide, making them ideal for severe cold-forming operations and boundary lubrication up to 750°F.
AML offers multiple powder grades and custom blends, along with easy-to-apply, water-based dispersions that deliver:
- Reliable lubrication for titanium and zirconium cold forming.
- Excellent performance in wire drawing and press-fit operations.
- Low-coefficient-of-friction, long-life lubrication for parts not accessible after assembly.
Water-Based Glass Coatings
AMLUBE® water-based glass coatings use carefully selected glass frits to provide lubrication, insulation, and surface protection during high-temperature forming operations.
These precoats are engineered for use with:
- Titanium
- Stainless steel
- Superalloys
Designed to withstand extreme conditions, AMLUBE® glass coatings help maintain process consistency and protect tooling during hot forming.
