Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rolling oil technology, and more particularly to a high-efficiency, easy-to-clean stainless steel cold rolling oil composition. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel hot rolling is a plastic deformation process carried out under high temperature and high pressure conditions of 1000℃-1250℃. Intense friction and strong rolling forces exist between the rolls and the high-temperature steel strip, placing stringent requirements on the comprehensive performance of the rolling oil. Without effective lubrication and cleaning, the following problems may occur:
[0003] Increased rolling force and energy consumption: The excessively high coefficient of friction leads to an increase in the load on the main motor, resulting in a significant increase in electricity consumption per ton of steel; Increased roll wear: At high temperatures, fatigue cracks and spalling are easily generated on the surface of rolls, steel sticking occurs frequently, service life is shortened, and production costs increase. Product surface quality defects: Steel strips are prone to scratches, pitting, and iron oxide scale indentation, resulting in reduced smoothness and yield. Difficulty in controlling sheet shape: Uneven lubrication leads to abnormal thermal crown of the rolls, causing poor sheet shape such as waviness and warping; Equipment system contamination: Traditional rolling oil has poor high-temperature cleaning properties, easily producing sludge and carbon deposits, clogging nozzles and contaminating the cooling water system. At the same time, impurities such as iron powder agglomerate and adhere, exacerbating equipment wear.
[0004] Currently available stainless steel hot rolling oils have the following shortcomings: insufficient oil film strength at high temperatures, making them prone to rupture; insufficient extreme pressure anti-wear performance, making them unsuitable for operating conditions; weak high-temperature detergency and impurity dispersion capabilities, leading to iron powder agglomeration and sludge formation, resulting in excessive surface residue. Therefore, it is essential to develop a stainless steel hot rolling oil that combines excellent lubricity, extreme pressure anti-wear properties, high-temperature stability, and easy cleaning. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a highly efficient and easy-to-clean stainless steel cold rolling oil composition.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A highly efficient, lubricating, and easy-to-clean stainless steel cold rolling oil composition, comprising the following components by weight percentage: Base oil 58%-77%; Synthetic ester lubricants: 10%-25%; Extreme pressure anti-wear agent 5%-12%; Oily agent 3%-8%; Antioxidant 0.5%-2%; Rust inhibitor 1%-3%; Surfactant 0.5%-2%; Polyether dispersant 1%-3%; Nano-silica 0.5%-2%.
[0007] Furthermore, the polyether-type dispersant is a polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block polyether with a molecular weight between 2000 and 8000. The molecular structure contains lipophilic and hydrophilic segments. The lipophilic segments can be adsorbed onto the surface of hydrophobic impurities such as iron powder, while the hydrophilic segments form a steric hindrance layer facing the aqueous phase. At the same time, the ether bonds on the molecular chain generate electrostatic repulsion with the amino groups, which can effectively prevent the agglomeration of impurity particles. Moreover, it has good stability at high temperatures and is not easily decomposed.
[0008] Furthermore, the base oil is a hydrotreated Group II or Group III light white oil with a kinematic viscosity of 8-15 mm² / s at 40°C, and features low sulfur, low aromatics, high saturation, light color, and good oxidation stability.
[0009] Furthermore, the synthesized lubricant is one or more of pentaerythritol ester, trimethylolpropane ester, or trimellitic acid ester, possessing strong polar adsorption capacity and excellent lubricity, high flash point, low volatility, and good biodegradability.
[0010] Furthermore, the extreme pressure anti-wear agent is one or more of thiophosphate esters, phosphate ester amine salts, or sulfided fatty acid esters. The extruded anti-wear agent can react with the metal surface at high temperature to generate a high-strength iron sulfide or iron phosphate protective film.
[0011] Furthermore, the oiling agent is one or more of fatty acid glycerides, fatty alcohols, or high molecular weight polyethers. The oiling agent can be physically adsorbed onto the metal surface to enhance the lubrication effect.
[0012] Furthermore, the antioxidant is a complex of phenolic antioxidants and amine antioxidants, which can effectively delay the oxidative deterioration of rolling oil during high-temperature cycling.
[0013] Furthermore, the rust inhibitor is one or more of alkenyl succinate half ester and boronized succinate, and the rust inhibitor is used to prevent corrosion of the strip steel and the water system of the rolling mill after rolling.
[0014] Furthermore, the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant with an HLB value between 8 and 12, and the surface dispersant ensures that the rolling oil is rapidly dispersed in water to form a stable emulsion.
[0015] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the rolling oil composition, the method comprising the following steps: a. Add base oil to the reactor, heat to 60℃±5℃, and start stirring at 150r / min; b. Add the synthetic ester lubricant and oiling agent in sequence, and stir until well mixed; c. Slowly add the extreme pressure anti-wear agent, antioxidant, and rust inhibitor, stirring at 150 rpm after each addition to ensure complete dissolution; d. Add polyether-type dispersant and nano-silica, and stir at 150 r / min for 30-50 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion of nanoparticles; e. Add the surfactant, adjust the stirring speed to 200 r / min, and continue stirring until the system is homogeneous and transparent; f. Cool to below 40°C and filter to obtain the finished rolling oil concentrate.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by adding nano-silica and polyether dispersant to the rolling oil, the nano-silica can fill the gaps in the oil film, reduce the coefficient of friction, and effectively prevent the oil film from breaking at high temperatures; the polyether dispersant causes the surface of impurity particles such as iron powder to be charged through electrostatic repulsion, preventing particle agglomeration and non-adhesion to the equipment surface, resulting in high cleaning performance and effectively solving the problems of sludge formation, nozzle clogging, and equipment adhesion in traditional rolling oil.
