  • Patent number: 8584499
    Abstract: A method of supplying lubricating oil in cold-rolling by emulsion lubrication, characterized by comprising: using a constant (supply efficiency) obtained under conditions of a specific rolling rate, emulsion supply, emulsion concentration, emulsion temperature, plateout length, rolled material width or roll barrel length, rolling load, grade of the rolled material, and type of lubricating oil and oil film thickness at the time of neat lubrication realized under the specific rolling lubrication conditions to estimate the oil film thickness realized by emulsion lubrication under the specific rolling lubrication conditions and controlling at least one of the emulsion supply, emulsion concentration, emulsion temperature, and plateout length so that the estimated oil film thickness matches with the target oil film thickness.

  • Patent number: 7954350
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of supplying lubrication oil in cold rolling for stable rolling without heat scratches or slip and achieving high productivity and improvement of the unit consumption of lubrication oil, that is, a method of supplying lubrication oil in cold rolling by supplying a predetermined kind of emulsion lubrication oil comprised of a mixture of rolling oil and water at the rolling stand inlet from nozzles, the method characterized by measuring or estimating the pressure in the lubrication nozzle pipe (lubrication nozzle pressure), controlling the lubrication nozzle pressure of the rolling stand where lubrication is susceptible to become excessive with the predetermined emulsion lubrication oil to 0.5 MPa or more, and, while doing so, supplying the lubrication oil to the roll bite inlet of the stand by direct injection.
