Steel and Aluminum Industry Overview
Steel and Aluminum mills pose significant challenges for precision lubrication. Extreme heat, particle contamination and significant water ingression in some areas make it difficult to maintain the condition of lubricants and hydraulic fluids. It has been common throughout this industry just to accept these high levels of contamination and the poor reliability and short component life that goes with it, but it does not have to be that way. Because the challenges are great and the environment extreme, the opportunities to dramatically improve reliability and component life when precision lubrication principles are employed are also great.
