“…The rolling action draws the lubricant into the interface between the rolls and the strip. A sufficient lubricant film can be formed because of the oil-droplet capture and concentration processes in the roll entrance zone . The concentration process gradually increases the oil concentration to ensure that the emulsion can provide lubrication similar to pure-oil lubrication in the working zone.…”

“…A sufficient lubricant film can be formed because of the oil-droplet capture and concentration processes in the roll entrance zone. 4 The concentration process gradually increases the oil concen-tration to ensure that the emulsion can provide lubrication similar to pure-oil lubrication in the working zone. The amount of lubricant in the interface between the rolls and the strip under rolling action determines the thickness of the lubricant film and the stress distribution in the deformed area of the strip.…”

“…For example, the effect of the rolling speed on elastohydrodynamic lubrication with O/W emulsions has been explored . In numerical studies on rolling under mixed-film lubrication, a roughness-spreading model linking body plasticity and surface roughness deformation, a mixed lubrication analysis of strip rolling, and tribological modeling have been reported. In addition, the effects of parameters such as the stability, oil droplet size, and emulsifier, surfactant, and solution pH values on lubricated rolling have been investigated .…”

The complex interaction between emulsion lubrication, heavy-load rolling, interfacial friction, and interfacial microstructural evolution is an urgent scientific problem that needs to be explored for emulsion-lubricated rolling. In this study, the evolution of the surface and interface microstructures of AISI-1045 steel subjected to two types of emulsion lubrication rolling is investigated. The influence of the differences between the properties of the emulsions (wettability, homogeneity, and tribological properties) on the surface and interface of the rolled material is analyzed. The results show that the differences between the emulsion properties produce different rolling forces and surface qualities. The rolling force and surface roughness of E-H (Emulsion H) having poor emulsion properties increase by 9.3% and 83.3%, respectively, compared with those of E-L (Emulsion L) having superior properties. The excessive rolling force exerted when applying E-H-emulsion-lubricated rolling results in a gradient distribution structure of the material surface: a layer of fine grains, layer of finely deformed grains, and layer of large grains with a small amount of deformation. Many defects (stacking dislocations, dislocation unit structures, and twinning boundaries) are distributed in the fine-grained and finely deformed-grain layers. The dense distribution of dislocations in the crystals leads to further rotation of the texture toward the Brass{011}⟨211⟩ and S3{123}⟨634⟩ texture components. Consequently, the variability in the emulsion properties significantly affects the surface and interfacial structural composition of the rolled material. Thus, material properties are affected. This study provides methods for optimizing the cold-rolling lubrication process.
