Cold rolling is a process by which metal is passed through rollers at temperatures below its recrystallization temperatures. The metal is compressed and squeezed, increasing the yield strength and hardness of the metal.
The Q8Oils laboratories are equipped with an extensive range of analytical tools to determine performance and characteristics of newly formulated oils. Among these are high pressure differential scanning calorimeters (HPDSC), kinematic viscosity analysers (KV), rotating pressure vessel oxidation test (RPVOT), total acid number (TAN) and total base number (TBN) analysers, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Infrared spectroscopy (IR).
Q8Oils launches two new Brake Fluid products meeting the requirements for DOT 4+ and DOT 4 LV: Q8 Brake Fluid DOT 4+ and Q8 Brake Fluid DOT 4 LV.
In the wire drawing industry, the terms superfine and ultrafine are commonly used to describe sizes of fine wire, but how do you describe it in your wire drawing application, how also does wire size relate to life and what you can see?
We recently spoke with André Volkers, Technical Sales Manager for cold rolling oils in the metalworking line of Q8Oils. After an 11-year career as an R&D specialist at a major industrial world player, he started working as a Research Scientist in the Specialties group of Kuwait Petroleum Research & Technology in 2010. In 2012, he switched to Q8Oils as product manager Specialties, with responsibility for such products as base oils, extracts, bitumen and propellants. He has been the technical sales manager for cold rolling oils at the metalworking fluids department for more than 2 years.
Q8Oils’ drawing solutions are the result of more than 100 years of product development and application experience.
