Energy Consumption Optimization of Cold Strip Rolling Lubricated in Mixed Regime

Abstract

Cold rolling is one of the most popular metal forming methods. Due to mass production of companies which have cold rolling unites, it is essential to make the process optimum to reduce undesirable expense of production. One of the main production expenses is the power which is generally spends in the form of electricity. In the present study, power consumption of rolling is investigated with oil as lubricant
