Polishes steel – Does not: Score, wipe, or smear steel.
The Problem:
Application required 10 hours of continuous operation removing scale and oil from rotating dies without changing the diameter or shape in a hot environment. Process improvement division was challenged after 200 failed materials with $20,000 of spoiled pipe daily.
The Solution:
Lignum Vitae –Steel friendly properties that is self-lubricated and polishes shaft without any grease. Created World Record by creating 40,000 lin. Ft. of 5”continuous welded pipe.
