In the metal processing industry, industrial dielectric products play an indispensable role in improving the quality of metal processing and increasing production efficiency. As a key category, copper rolling oil has always faced many technical challenges in its research and production.
According to Wang Lingjin, the head of the high-end industrial medium research and development center of Chinalco Lubrication, the viscosity and flash point of copper rolling oil are a pair of "contradictions" that are difficult to balance in product development. To overcome this challenge, the lubrication R&D team of Chinalco has undergone thousands of experimental verifications and over 8 months of on-site testing, ultimately successfully meeting the dual requirements of copper rolling process for oil safety and lubrication performance. This allows users to freely choose the desired viscosity range while maintaining a high flash point for copper rolling oil, providing copper processing enterprises with more flexible production options.
In addition, during the use of copper rolling oil, the functional components of the oil will be continuously consumed, and it is necessary to constantly replenish the oil during the production process. In response to this issue, the R&D team of Chinalco Lubrication has innovatively developed additives that can be replenished at any time, significantly extending the oil change cycle and significantly reducing maintenance costs on the production site.
As of now, the latest developed copper rolling oil products have been fully applied in four production lines of Zhongtong Huazhong Copper Industry Co., Ltd., helping the enterprise achieve a comprehensive cost reduction of 16.09%. This achievement has received widespread attention and high praise within the industry, injecting strong impetus into the development of China's metal processing industry and winning more competitive advantages for domestic industrial dielectric products in the international market.
With the continuous development of China's manufacturing industry, the demand for metal processing lubricants is also increasing. The successful research and development of Chinalco Lubrication Technology Co., Ltd. in the field of copper rolling oil has set an example for the industry, inspiring more enterprises to increase research and development investment, continuously improve the technical level and product quality of metal processing lubricants in China, and promote the entire industry to a higher level of development.
