Copper rod rolling lubricants–The effect of quench characteristics on roll performance

$15.00

This technical paper demonstrates the relationship between soluble copper rod rolling lubricant quench characteristics, and their effect on rolling mill roll performance. It looks at the emulsion-cooling curve, vapor blanket formation and the speed of quench, demonstrating the critical affect of these areas to the maintenance of key cooling characteristics for optimum rolling performance.
