Metal rolling is the method of stretching a piece of metal sheet to a certain thickness by increasing its length. Metal rolling can be done in two ways, by cold rolling process and by hot rolling process. Cold rolling oils/ lubricants are used in cold rolling processes, is described as the life blood of the process because of their impact on product quality and mill productivity. The ability of a cold rolling lubricant is observed in terms of its effect on rolling mill performance. It is defined on the basis of the coefficient of friction it offers in the roll bite region. By reducing the friction, rolling oils increase the reduction in thickness obtainable with a roll load. However, the friction must not fall below the limit necessary to carry out the desired deformation. Thus, cold rolling lubricants should provide optimum frictional conditions in order to reduce the rolling force and to cut energy demands to the minimum. Moreover, the friction in the roll bite seriously affects the quality of the material being rolled, since too high friction results in surface defects, eg, friction pickup. Cold rolling oil are also used for enhancing the surface quality by lubrication and cooling the frictional and plastic deformation heat generated during the cold rolling process.
