Research on Lubricating Properties of Alcohol and Ester in Stainless Steel Cold Rolling Process

aliphatic ester, aliphatic alcohol, stainless steel, cold rolling oil Abstract: In this paper, the deeply hydrogenated mineral oil 60N was used as base oil. The additives such as mixture of dodecanol and tetradecyl alcohol, hexadecanol alcohol, octadecyl alcohol, ethyl hydride laurate, methyl palmitate and butyl stearate were separately added to the base oil by 10 percent. Evaluate its physical and chemical properties, and cold rolling experiments were carried out on both 202 and 304 stainless steel lubricated by different rolling oil. The results showed that the aliphatic alcohol have better performance in lubricating and volatilizing properties than fatty acid ester. Moreover, the octadecyl alcohol showed the best lubricating properties compared with selected aliphatic alcohol.
