RollOilFree II
Transfer of aqueous oil-free lubricants into steel cold rolling practice.
Motivation
The project aims at testing Oil-Free Lubricants under industrial conditions for the cold rolling of packaging steels and steels for the automotive industry, and at demonstrating the subsequent processability of the rolled steels down to the coated final product.
Mission
Furthermore, RollOilFree II goes beyond testing the lubrication performance in the rolling process, by providing easy manageable solutions for the complete peripheral processes for the use of OFLs (care, maintenance, monitoring, etc.).
Objectives
• Adaptation and optimisation of Oil Free Lubricants (OFLs) to the specific cold rolling requirements for the automobile and packaging industries.
• Development of online monitoring for OFLs.
• Providing of adapted technologies regarding OFL care, recycling and disposal.
