The lubrication treatment before cold-drawing is considerably important pretreatment procedure, which directly affects the lbrce and quality of the drawing. Taking 45 steel for the cold-drawing drive shaft as an example, the parameters of the habrication process were optimized by orthogonal experiment. The morphology and composition of zinc-based phosphating coating and saponification at medium temperature were analyzed by SEM. The better parameters of phosphating process were determined as follows: the PH of phosphating solution is 2.0, the t...
