Metals, when rolled or otherwise compressed, are lubricated by an aqueous solution of an organic, polar, surface-acting composition having a negative heat of solution which is a phosphate or phosphite of an alcohol ether which is soluble in the water at a lower temperature but insoluble in the water at the temperature to which the aqueous solution is heated during compression of the metal. This aqueous lubricant eliminates the fire hazard involved in the use of the present non-aqueous lubricants.
