Comparison of Energy-Power Parameters and Electrical Energy Consumption During Cold Rolling with Emulsions at Continuous 4-Stand Mill 1680

The work compares the energy consumption during cold rolling on a four-stand mill 1680 of carbon steel with the use of lubricating-cooling emulsions “Quakerol ZAP 4.0” and “Universal-1TS”. It was revealed that the average total load on the stand motors and coiler when using “Quakerol ZAP 4.0” emulsion is 4.19% higher than when rolling the same product range, rolled on “Universal-1TC” emulsion. It was shown that the total specific power consumption when rolling on emulsion prepared from “Quakerol ZAP 4.0” emulsion is higher by 2.7% than when rolling on emulsion prepared from standard “Universal-1TC” emulsion. The need for further research with the selection of the optimal emulsion concentration from “Quakerol ZAP 4.0”, to achieve a reduction in energy consumption for rolling is shown.
