The effect of four boundary additives-lauryl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, lauric acid and stearic acid-in mineral seal oil, on the roll separating forces, roll torques and the coefficient of friction was investigated. The independent variables were the rolling speed, reduction and the concentration of the additives. Lauryl alcohol was the most effective in reducing the roll separating force while stearyl alcohol caused the largest reduction of the roll torque. The coefficient of friction, obtained by the use of Hill's empirical relation, was the lowest when lauryl alcohol was used. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
