Enhanced Shot Life for Aluminum Die Casting

Enhanced Shot Life for Aluminum Die Casting

Customer Need

Our client's aluminum die casting process produces thousands of castings in rapid succession, putting the plunger tips our client uses in their machining under extreme temperatures and pressures.

The lubricants that our client used on their plunger tips could not prevent enough of the galling and aluminum buildup that required frequent replacement of the plunger tip pieces.

VinTech's AtomOil lubricants provided this leader in aluminum die casting with superior protection for their plunger tips so they could increase the lifespan of each part by more than double.
