Factory Tests of Temper-Rolling Fluid Volgol-350 on the 2030 Mills at the Novolipetskii Metallurgical Combine

Resumo

Results

are presented from import substitution of Qwerl 275-2 temper-rolling fluid (Quacker Chemical B.V.) by domestic Volgol-350 temper-rolling fluid (VPO Volgokhimneft). A range of methods for evaluating the quality of temper-rolling fluids were developed in the course of testing. Lab studies and industrial testing of limited batches of Volgol-350 fluid made it possible to determine the optimum requirements for protective capacity, attainment of a clean surface on steel strip, and elimination of excessive lubricating properties. Volgol-350 temper-rolling fluid has been used in the production of cold-rolled products at the NLMK since 2006.
