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.

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.

3 ways to prevent corrosion
Corrosion is a natural process that has a variety of negative effects on metal. Even the smallest form of corrosion requires repairs and maintenance. The worldwide annual loss due to corrosion is an huge waste and should be minimized. It is estimated that 50 % of metallic corrosion loss can be prevented by using suitable protection methods.
Corrosion explained
Metals are used for the fabrication of many structures, vehicles and objects like cars, buildings, ships, etc. Because corrosion causes metal to deteriorate it is not wanted in our modern-day metal-applications. Yet it is a natural process that is dependent on several factors. In this article we explain what corrosion is and how it arises. We also take a look at the different types of corrosion.
Metalworking fluids – the complete Engineers Guide
Water miscible and neat metalworking fluids are some of the most complex liquid sorts around in terms of chemistry and working environments. To help users on how to manage metalworking fluids, Q8Oils published the ‘engineers guide to using soluble metal manufacturing fluids’.
