Oriented silicon steel cold rolling customer extends steel coil storage time to over 30 days through WOULER 66Si

A oriented silicon steel manufacturer located in Zhejiang province is facing many problems and challenges when using competitors' rolling media products. During the storage of oriented silicon steel in the process, side rusting often occurs within 24 hours, and surface rusting often occurs within 7 days, leading to customer complaints and claims. At the same time, it is also facing issues such as high oil consumption and significant wear on the backing bearings. After consulting with Wenou Company, they switched to Wenou silicon steel rolling medium WOULER 66Si, successfully extending the storage time of steel coils to more than 30 days, reducing fuel consumption, and decreasing the wear of backing bearings. Avoiding customer complaints, expanding the sales radius of steel coils, and significantly reducing comprehensive costs by more than 10%, thus establishing a strong partnership with Wenou.

Challenge

The oriented silicon steel manufacturer is facing various problems in using rolling media during the processing, as they are using rolling media from competitors. The anti rust ability of the rolling medium is weak, and even side rusting problems may occur during the steel plate rolling process. Short term storage of finished steel coils can lead to surface rusting problems, resulting in customer complaints and claims. The rolling medium has high fuel consumption, average extreme pressure, and insufficient protection for the backing bearings, resulting in high overall operating costs.

Solution

To address these challenges, the manufacturer contacted the European company. Wenou has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the manufacturer's equipment, rolling materials and processes, emulsion management, etc. It is recommended to use the silicon steel rolling medium WOULER 66Si, adopt a direct mixing method without draining, and add additives on-site for adjustment. The ideal effect was achieved within 15 days. WOULER 66Si is a non-ionic emulsion product, synthesized ester formula, using unique composite rust prevention technology and ash free technology. The product has good dispersibility of silicon soap, excellent rust prevention performance, long service life, high cleanliness, and low comprehensive use cost.

achievement

After using WOULER 66Si, the manufacturer's battle was effectively resolved. The rusting phenomenon on the side of the steel coil has disappeared, and the storage period of the steel coil has gradually increased from less than 7 days to over 30 days, avoiding customer complaints and expanding the sales radius of the product.

Long term use of WOULER 66Si has proven to have advantages such as fuel consumption of less than 0.5kg per ton of steel, reduced bearing wear, good surface quality, and a service life of over one year.
The manufacturer is very satisfied with the results obtained using WOULER 66Si. Therefore, they look forward to continuing their partnership with Wenou and establishing a strong and lasting business relationship.
