There are various types of steel wire rod wire drawing lubricants, including dry lubricants, oil-based lubricants, and water-based lubricants. Dry lubricants are typically a mixture of graphite and other solid lubricants, which reduce friction during the wire drawing process. Oil-based lubricants are formulated with mineral or synthetic oils, providing excellent lubricity and reducing heat generation. Water-based lubricants are composed of water and additives like emulsifiers, rust inhibitors, and lubricating agents, offering good cooling and lubrication properties during wire drawing.
