| Description |
Conventional cold rolling oils (CRO) are used to impart lubrication at the rollworkpiece
interface and for cooling of the rolls. CRO not only reduces energy
consumption but also enhances the roll life resulting in improved product quality.
However, the present concept of global 'green puts additional demands on these
lubricants, Le., they are to be biodegradable and ecofriendly. Therefore a search for
alternate lubricants meeting the above demands is on.
Keeping the above view, esters, which are more than 90% biodegradable were
synthesized using environment friendly catalysts. The synthesis process used, is
superior to the conventional one. The synthestsed esters were evaluated for their
physico-chemical characteristics as well as for their lubrication performance on the'
conventional tribo-testers. Besides this with a view to see the possibility of using
these esters as CROs, their lubricity characteristics were studied using indigenous
test technique developed at author's laboratory (1). Th~ paper presents the
tribological performance data of the synthesized esters and compares with that of
the conventional CROs being used at present.
