Abstract
A method for operating a rolling technology or metallurgical system is disclosed. The rolling technology or metallurgical system comprises a device in which a rotating component is mounted with at least one sliding bearing. The sliding bearing is supplied with a lubricant. In order to enable improved operation of said bearings, in particular in rolling mills, a water-based, single-phase fluid to which at least one viscosity-increasing additive is added is used as the lubricant for the bearing.
