Description
- The present invention relates to a water-soluble aluminium and aluminium alloys cold rolling oil composition and to a process for cold rolling aluminium and aluminium alloys.
- The aluminium and aluminium alloys rolling industry expresses the need to maximize the efficiency of their cold rolled metal manufacturing process. In general terms, this means that there is a wish to operate at higher rolling speeds and to produce more marketable products per operating shift. Additionally, there is also a wish to minimize the number of passes through the mill taken to achieve a given level of reduction. Both these routes require that quality and surface finish be not compromised.
- On the other hand, there is a need to increase mill safety by reducing the fire risks and the emissions of oil mists.
- The invention thus provides an oil composition for cold rolling mills that enables to prepare emulsions which affords the following customer benefits:

- a good surface finish quality;
- a high lubricity (plate-out properties, roll coating);
- a non-stained final product;
- a safer mill environment and better working conditions; and
- it can be used to prepare articles which are intended to be used in contact with food.
- The invention is effective on any type of cold rolling, be it reversible or not, of the Sendzimir type (e.g. 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4), or of Z-high type (e.g. 2-high, 4-high, 6-high), be it a reversible mill, a tandem mill, etc..
- Especially, the invention exhibits high reduction and rolling capabilities while providing an excellent strip surface finish when rolling at high speed. The invention is also suited to Z-high rolling mill technology where high reduction ratio at low speed is obtained.
- The prior art does not teach or even suggest the instant invention.
- Thus, the invention provides a water-soluble aluminium and aluminium alloys cold rolling oil composition comprising a white mineral oil and, based on the total weight of the composition, from 10 to 95% of an ester of a C16-20 fatty acid and a C2-6 alcohol.
- The invention further provides a process for preparing the oil composition.
- The invention further provides an emulsion containing the oil composition and a process for preparing this emulsion.
- In addition, the invention provides the use of the oil composition of the invention to prepare emulsions intended to be used in a aluminium or aluminium alloy cold rolling process.
- The invention also provides a process for cold rolling aluminium and aluminium alloys sheets, comprising applying an effective amount of the emulsion of the invention.
- Finally, the invention provides the use of the emulsion in an aluminium or aluminium alloy cold rolling process.
- The invention is now disclosed in more details in the following specification and in reference to the drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the roll force as a function of the strip speed at a constant reduction rate of 50%, when using the emulsion of the invention and a neat oil of the prior art;
- Figure 2 is a graph showing the roll force as a function of the strip speed at a constant reduction rate of 60%, when using the emulsion of the invention and a neat oil of the prior art;

- Figure 4 shows the surface of a strip after cold rolling with a neat oil of the prior art;
- Figure 5 is a graph showing the roll force as a function of the strip speed at a constant reduction rate, when using an emulsion of the invention at a concentration of 9% and with an emulsion of the invention at a concentration of 13%;
- Figure 6 is a graph showing the roll force as a function of the strip speed at a constant reduction rate, when using an emulsion of the invention prepared at 25°C and an emulsion of the invention prepared at 40°C.
