Thabiso Steel’s dedication to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction guarantees that every forging adheres to strict industry standards, supporting the growth of South Africa’s engineering and manufacturing sectors.d
Alloy Steel Forgings are made up of elements like carbon, manganese, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, which significantly improve their mechanical properties. Thanks to controlled heat treatment and forging processes, these materials achieve outstanding tensile strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The end result is forgings with excellent grain structure, precise dimensions, and strong resistance to impact and wear, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance even in tough operating conditions.
| Sl. No. | Type of lubricant | Advantages | Limitations |
| 1 | Water-base micro-graphite | Eliminates smoke and fire; provides die cooling; is easily extended with water | Must be applied by spraying for best results |
| 2 | Water-base synthetic | Eliminates smoke and fire; is cleaner than oils or water-base graphite; aids die cooling; is easily diluted, and needs no agitation after initial mixing; reduces clogging of spray equipment; does not transfer dark pigment to part | Must be sprayed; lacks the lubricity of graphite for severe forging operations |
| 3 | Oil-base graphite | Fluid film lends itself to either spray or swab application; has good performance over a wide temperature range (upto 540 deg C). | Generates smoke, fire, and noxious odours; explosive nature may shorten die life; has potentially serious health and safety implications for workers |
