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.
Introduction to cold rolling
Gas Engines: Analytical tools, oil sample results and field testing
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).
Introducing: new Q8 Brake Fluids
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.
How fine is fine?
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?
The expert speaks: André Volkers about mutual development
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’ expertise in wire drawing solutions
Q8Oils’ drawing solutions are the result of more than 100 years of product development and application experience.
The Q8 Ravel range presented
Q8Oils has renewed its Q8 Ravel range of corrosion protection fluids.
The development of the new Q8 Ravel range
Q8Oils has renewed its Q8 Ravel range of corrosion protection fluids.
The development of Q8 Mahler gas engine oils
So how does Q8Oils focus its research and development to achieve:
Cleaner engines
Longer oil drain periods
Lower total operational costs (TOC)
Choosing the right fluid for hydraulic systems
The hydraulic fluid is the most important component in a hydraulic system. Choosing the right hydraulic fluid is crucial to guarantee the best performance and efficiency of the system. Each fluid has its specific characteristics in terms of viscosity, suitable operating conditions, anti-wear properties, etc. In this article we offer valuable tips and tricks to select the right fluid for your hydraulic system.
