Abstract: A system for preparing and applying a lubricant suspension containing graphite to tools or workpieces used in the thermal deformation of metals. The system includes a suspending device and an application device. A device for suspending solid lubricants, especially graphite-containing solid lubricants, in a carrier liquid, especially water. The essential element of the device is a ring nozzle downstream from which is a dispersing unit. A device for applying lubricant suspensions containing graphite to tools or workpieces in the thermal deformation of metals. The device has a suitable distributor which comprises one or more spray units.

Abstract: Lubricant system for sheet and section rolling mills, containing a solid lubricant, an adhesive component and/or a thickening agent, and also water as a carrier medium. The lubricant system is sprayed onto the working cylinder in the roll stand as a suspension, at least some of the water evaporating and a firmly adhering, waterproof, lubricating and separating film forming on the working cylinders.
