Abstract

Oxide scale formed on the steel surface during hot rolling affects the tribological property of nanoTiO2 additive oil-in-water (O/W) lubricant, resulting in changes of roll forces, torques and power consumption, as well as the wear and the surface quality of the work roll and workpiece in hot rolling. The nanoparticle additive O/W emulsion is a novel lubricant and has a great potential to be used in hot rolling process. However, little research has focused on the nanoparticle additive O/W emulsion. In this study, oxidation, tribological and hot rolling tests were conducted to investigate the tribological behaviour of nanoTiO2 additive O/W lubricant. The results indicate that the surface morphology of the oxide scale plays an important role in tribological behaviour of nanoTiO2 additive O/W lubricants. The coefficient of friction (COF) and rolling force are reduced with the addition of nanoTiO2 particles into the 1.0% (mass %, oil concentration) O/W lubricant. This study is helpful in applying the nanoTiO2 additive O/W lubricant during hot rolling to realise reduction of rolling force and power consumption.
