Study on the Lubricating Performance of Nano-TiO2 in Water-Based Cold Rolling Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

A type of water-based cold rolling fluid has been developed by adding TiO2 nanoparticles. The tribological behavior of nanoTiO2 water-based rolling fluid was investigated by using four-ball machine. The worn surfaces of the steel balls were analyzed by using OLYMPUS laser confocal microscopy. Results indicate that nanoTiO2 nanoparticles significantly improved the anti-wear properties in the way of micro-ball bearing and perfecting the tribological behavior of water-based rolling fluid. The cold rolling experiment shows that the nanoTiO2 water-based rolling fluid had a good rolling lubricant performance under the condition of concentration of 0.7wt.% for the upper limit. The nanoTiO2 water-based rolling fluid can not only decrease the minimum rolling gauge and the surface roughness of the work piece, but also prevent direct contact between roller and work piece which could lead to the rolled surface scratches and adhesion defects.
