In the world of hot forging, choosing the right release agent makes the difference between efficient production and costly downtime.

METALWX FORG release agents represent a complete range of high-performance solutions developed to meet the demands of various processes and severity levels in the hot forging of steel and metal alloys.

What is Hot Forging?

Hot forging is a plastic deformation process in which metal, heated up to 1280°C, is shaped through hammer or press strokes until the desired form is achieved. This method is used in key industries such as aerospace, railway, shipbuilding, agriculture, automotive, and tool manufacturing, where precision and strength are essential.

Why Choose METALWX FORG Release Agents?

The METALWX FORG range includes both vegetable-based and synthetic release agents, each designed for specific processing conditions:

• Excellent release action, even under extreme conditions
• Optimal off-cavity cleanliness, minimizing maintenance time and improving part finish
• Tailored formulations for different materials, including high-strength steels, brass alloys, and light alloys
• Flexible dilution ratios, allowing precise dosing based on production needs
