Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Metal Processing Lubricant market size was valued at US$ 8990 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 10950 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.2% during review period.

Metal processing lubricant as known as metalworking fluid, is a lubricant specially used in the metal processing process, aiming to improve processing efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality and reduce environmental pollution. Metalworking lubricants usually consist of base oils, additives and functional agents. Base oil is the main component of lubricants, and it can be mineral oil or synthetic oil. Additives and functional agents are used to enhance the performance of lubricants, such as antioxidants, anti-wear agents, anti-emulsifiers, etc. Metal processing lubricants have a wide range of applications, including cutting, grinding, drilling, stamping, bending and other metal processing processes. They can effectively reduce the friction between the tool and the workpiece, improve processing accuracy and efficiency, while protecting the workpiece surface from oxidation or corrosion.
1. Multifunctionality
The application scope of metalworking fluids covers a variety of processing methods such as rolling, drawing, extrusion, forging and cutting. Its wide application field and complex use environment characteristics determine that metalworking fluids must have multifunctional characteristics. At present, metalworking processes have put forward more urgent demands for metalworking fluids with wider adaptability. For example, in cutting processing, a cutting fluid that can be used for boring, drilling, cutting and other processing processes is needed; when hot rolling high-speed rails, it is hoped that the rolling oil can have comprehensive properties such as rolling, lubrication, corrosion inhibition and rust prevention; in the heat treatment process of metal parts, the heat treatment medium is required to have adaptability to different materials, different quenching temperatures and times.
2. Green and environmental protection
Due to the large amount of metalworking (oil) fluids used and their wide dispersion, coupled with insufficient awareness of their harmfulness, most metalworking fluids were directly discharged in the past. In addition, the difficult-to-biodegrade surfactants and harmful sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine and other complexes and inorganic salts contained in metalworking fluids will also cause irreversible damage to the environment. With the increasing global attention to environmental protection, the development of metalworking fluids tends to be more environmentally friendly. Including reducing the use of volatile organic compounds and harmful chemicals, using biodegradable ingredients, and more effective waste liquid treatment methods. At present, China's requirements for biodegradability, ecotoxicity, waste emissions and other indicators of metalworking (oil) fluids are becoming increasingly stringent. Therefore, it is imperative to develop green and environmentally friendly metalworking (oil) fluids.
3. Water-based processing fluids
Metalworking fluids can be divided into two categories: oil-based and water-based according to their composition. Oil-based metalworking lubricants, although they have good lubricity and rust prevention, are easy to volatilize at high temperatures to produce a large amount of oil mist, which not only pollutes the environment, but also harms human health; water-based metalworking lubricants have excellent cooling performance, are not easy to ignite, are safe and reliable, and have abundant water sources, are non-toxic and odorless, are environmentally friendly, and are easily biodegradable. With the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the call for clean production in the metalworking process is getting louder and louder, and the application of water-based metalworking lubricants will increase.
