Abstract

A new technology for lubricating the work rolls during hot rolling has been successfullytested in the finishing mill of ArcelorMittal Dunkirk. This new technology allows sprayingvery low quantities of pure oil on the work rolls to reduce the rolling forces by up to20% and with an increased efficiency of 50% compared with emulsions. The lubricant was apure natural oil without any additives.
