ALUMINUM COLD ROLLING
ALFEMIL series of aluminium cold rolled oils is a special blend of synthetic fatty alcohols, esters and antioxidants that have been formulated to provide excellent surface quality of cold rolled sheets. Products are available for all aspects of cold rolling, from conventional single gantry mills to tandem multi gantry mills and foil gauge rolling. These products have been developed to meet the performance requirements of cold rolling processes that require thickness reductions from intermediate to heavy.
The XP ALFEMIL Seriesseries contains additional additives that have demonstrated excellent performance in maintaining a uniform coating of the machined roller on the working rollers to further ensure that exceptional surface quality will result from their use.
- Excellent reduction capability
- Easy refrigerant preparation and control
- Constant rolling performance
- Absence of stains after annealing
- Meets AB and FDA requirements for accidental food contact
ALUMINUM HOT ROLLING
The FC ALFEMIL AR line of hot rolled aluminum hot rolled oils has a long history of proven performance and is found in industry leading systems with the best performance at total cost.
The ALFEMIL AR series product line is divided into special formulations for reversing and finishing hot rolling mills, based on the intrinsic differences in lubrication and emulsification between these types of mills.
ALFEMIL AR 1 series products are specifically designed to meet the demolition needs of today's individual stands and intermediate mills. This line also contains the products needed for the lubrication of combined reverse-finishing mills, designed to handle both ingot breakage and coil finishing.
Similarly, the ALFEMIL series products are specifically designed to meet the needs of multi-stand finishing mills with higher speeds and more critical surface quality requirements.
The ALFEMIL series takes into account the needs of continuous jet (single or multiple) fed hot mills.
ADVANTAGES:
- Limited content of free organic acids compared to traditional formulations, with consequent lowering of metal soap formation
- Good thermal separation under the rolling cylinders
- Excellent hydrodynamic lubrication conditions, high polarity and good film sealing at high lamination loads/pressures.
- Easy separation of polluting oils and other materials/products
- Stable oxide film formation on the laminating rollers in the first and intermediate steps and laminating condition with clean rollers during the final steps
NEW LUBRICANTS, AUXILIARIES AND CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION PROCESSES
COLD ROLLING STEEL
The cold rolling process, which generally involves the production of flat steel products, allows not only to reduce the thickness of the strip, but also to modify the mechanical characteristics of the steel. Cold rolling can be followed by coating operations after annealing and tensile hardening.
NEW LUBRICANTS, AUXILIARIES AND CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION PROCESSES
HOT ROLLING STEEL
After being heated to a temperature of the order of 1300 ° C in the furnace, the sheets, blooms or billets are subject to plastic deformation between the different cylinders: reduction in diameter, thickness, shape change. The hot rolling process therefore allows the manufacture of products such as:
- Sheets
- Wire Rods
- Bars
- Railroads
- Profiles
- Steel beams
EXTRUSION
Extrusion is a manufacturing process in which a compressed material is forced to pass through a mold having the section of the part to be made. This operation allows a continuous production of long products (profiles) at a high speed.
Extrusion provides parts with even more precise shapes than those possible with printing or forging. In addition, the parts produced show excellent surface conditions, often allowing them to be used in subsequent steps without further finishing.
Foundry Alfe CHEM offers a complete range of lubricants for extrusion and aluminum drawing, adapted to each of the operations from billet cutting to profile shaping.

Whether they work individually or are used on a centralized system, the products of the ALFE DRAW WD series meet the needs of the most modern systems, minimizing the formation of foam and allowing easy filtration without compromising the lubricating power. Specific products of this series can also work with untreated water.
The ALFE DRAW WD series ensures a long life of the dies, as well as the protection of the wire and the plants against oxidation. Specific products have been designed for use in annealing machines to completely eliminate the risk of wire oxidation.

In ALUMINIUM TRAWING the products of the ALWIRE series are used. This series composed of pure oils of different viscosity contains a special additive, which reacts with the metal surfaces produced in a deformation process, prevents the formation of oxide, reduces the coefficient of friction between the wire and the die and makes it possible to draw any type of alloy, including those with high breaking load.
The use of ALWIRE allows to work at higher speeds or to perform more difficult machining operations.

Special lubricants for the production of copper pipes and bars, but also for other types of materials such as brass, steel, and aluminum are available in our production line.
In particular the TEMADRAW series is characterized by integral products for the production of straight tubes and coils, where high production speed is required as well as very low carbon residue, after annealing, and compatibility with modern cooling fluids.

GRAPHITE-FREE PRODUCTS
Foundry Alfe CHEM has also developed an advanced range of graphite-free synthetic solutions and emulsions for hot forging and molding of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Designed to be environmentally friendly with good operator compatibility, they provide effective release and cooling of machined parts, as well as releasing a non-abrasive coating on machining molds. This facilitates good metal flow to clean, well-defined forged parts.
Significant benefits have been achieved in the production of aluminum and brass components by applying Foundry Alfe CHEM's advanced graphite-free formulations, which leave a clean surface finish. The ALFECAST range of graphite-free solutions and emulsions is usually applied by spray or hand buffer and forms stable solutions with a concentration of 3% - 10%, depending on the application.

TREATING
Complete range of lubricants intended for cutting, punching, fine blanking, stamping, deep drawing operations with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Stamping and cutting sheet metal and blank is a metal-forming procedure that allows production of parts with complex shapes. The use of new materials (HLE steel, ferritic stainless steel, aluminium) associated with increasingly important environmental constraints and cost reductions requires the use of high-performance lubricants.
Drawing on our technical expertise and our know-how in the field of cold metal-forming, we offer the ALFEDRAW range intended for cutting and stamping of metals.
Taking the HSE impact into account is an integral part of the technical specifications for our lubricants.
Foundry Alfe CHEM therefore offers alternative technologies and draws on bio-sourced raw materials. Improvement of working conditions is then possible thanks to the use of products without chlorine, without mists and without volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
