Abstract

A lubricant for hot-rolling tools in which an oxide-based laminar compound such as potassium tetrasilicic mica, sodium tetrasilicic mica, vermiculite, and bentonite, a boric acid compound such as boric acid, potassium borate, and sodium borate, and graphite are dispersed and dissolved in water, and in which the blending proportion of the oxide-based laminar compound to the boric acid compound is, in mass ratio, 10:90 to 70:30, and the content of the graphite is 1.0 to 4.5%. Applying this lubricant on the surface of the mandrel bar at the time of mandrel mill rolling enables a lubricating film to be formed on the surface of the bar and to exert excellent seizure resistance, and also allows the lubricant to be immune from remaining in the inner surface of tube.

Claims (7)

1. The lubricant for hot-rolling tools consists of an oxide-based laminar compound, a boric acid compound, graphite, a dispersant, and water, wherein the oxide-based laminar compound, the boric acid compound, and the graphite are dispersed and dissolved in the water,

the blending proportion of the oxide-based laminar compound to the boric acid compound is 10:90 to 70:30 in mass ratio, and the content of graphite is 1.0 to 4.5%, and

the composition of the lubricant further consisting of, in mass %, mica: 10 to 30% as the oxide-based laminar compound, boric acid: 10 to 30% as the boric acid compound, and graphite: 1.0 to 4.5%, the balance being water containing said dispersant.

2. A surface treatment method for a mandrel bar for use in producing hot rolling seamless tubes comprising the step of applying a lubricant for hot-rolling tolls to a surface of the mandrel bar at a time of mandrel mill rolling, wherein

the lubricant consists of an oxide-based laminar compound, a boric acid compound, graphite, a dispersant, and water, wherein the oxide-based laminar compound, the boric acid compound, and the graphite are dispersed and dissolved in the water;

the blending portion of the oxide-based laminar compound to the boric acid compound is 10:90 to 70:30 in mass ratio, and the content of the graphite is 1.0 to 4.5%, and

the lubricant consists of, in mass %, mica: 10 to 30% as the oxide-based laminar compound, boric acid: 10 to 30% as the boric acid compound, and graphite: 1.0 to 4.5%, the balance being water containing said dispersant.
