Objective
The lubricants for cold rolling of stainless steel have a major influence on the surface quality of the rolled products and on the productivity of the rolling mills. Up to now only oils but no emulsions are used in cold rolling of bright-annealed stainless steel in Sendzimir mills. The aim of the proposed research is to increase the productivity of stainless steel cold rolling mills by use of emulsion advantages regarding cooling and surface cleanness. Emulsion selection will be based on laboratory tests and, in particular, on trials on pilot rolling mills. Selected new lubricants will be tested on Sendzimir mills. Finally an operational concept with included closed loop plant technology will be developed for Sendzimir mills.
