VARIABLES ON THE WEAR CHARACTERISTICS
OF HARDENED STEEL ROLLS
SUMMARY
The main objective of the experimental research programme was to
determine the optimum production route in the manufacture of
forged steel rolls for cold mill applications such that rolls
may be produced with improved and more consistent wear
properties. By the use of a simulated wear test and monitoring
surface characteristics variables in the process route such as
composition and heat treatment have been examined.
On the basis of the results obtained from the programme of work
the following conclusions have been drawn in determining a
satisfactory production route:
1. optimum analysis is a high carbon 3-5% chromium steel.
2. a low hardening temperature consistent with the required
hardenability.
3. electroflux remelting should be utilised. -v
