    Abstract

    Cold rolling experiments have been performed on a laboratory mill. The operational parameters were varied over a wide range to cover the complete regime from mixed to full-film lubrication. Special attention has been paid to film thickness measurements. The oil drop method has been applied at rolling speeds up to 10 m/s. Measured film thicknesses agree qualitatively with theoretical predictions of Sutcliffe and Johnson (1). Also coefficients of friction have been derived from the rolling force, F. Together with film thickness predictions they have been combined in a so-called generalized Stribeck curve. Such a diagram gives an indication whether lubrication is in the mixed or the full-film regime.
