Development course of roll material and heat treatment process

The service life of the roll mainly depends on its internal performance and working stress, and the internal performance includes strength and hardness. In order to make the roll have sufficient strength, the material of the roll should be considered. Hardness usually refers to the hardness of the working surface of the roll, which determines the wear resistance of the roll, and to a certain extent also determines the service life of the roll. Reasonable material selection and heat treatment can meet the hardness requirements of the roll. Below, the small series will bring you together to understand the development of roll materials and heat treatment processes. What many people don't know is that the cold roll bears a lot of rolling pressure during the working process, and the welding seam, inclusion, edge crack and other problems of the rolled piece are easy to lead to instantaneous high temperature, which makes the working roll crack, stick the roll and even peel off and scrap due to strong thermal impact. Therefore, the cold roll should have the ability to resist cracking and spalling caused by bending, torsion and shear stress, and should also have high wear resistance, contact fatigue strength, fracture toughness and thermal shock strength. Therefore, from the late 1970 s to the mid-1980s, domestic and foreign research began to use chromium content of 3% to 5% of the deep-hardened layer cold-rolled work roll steel. However, these steels are high-carbon and high-alloy materials with good hardness and wear resistance, but the hardened surface of the roll is brittle, the contact fatigue life is short, and the quality is unstable.

How should roller bearings be maintained?

Aluminum rolling mill rolls and roll bearings are important parts of the rolling mill. In rolling production, the roll is in direct contact with the rolling metal, resulting in plastic deformation of the metal. Therefore, the roll is the main deformation tool of the rolling mill, and the roll is supported by various bearings. The quality and service life of rolls and roll bearings are directly related to the product quality, production efficiency and production cost of the rolling mill. Therefore, the maintenance of the roller bearing is particularly important. Working characteristics of 1. roll bearings Roll bearings are used to support rolls. Compared with general bearings, roll bearings have the following characteristics: 1. Strong pressure bearing capacity. Due to the limitation of the overall size of the bearing seat, it cannot be larger than the smaller diameter of the roller body, and the length of the roll neck is shorter, and the unit load on the bearing is larger. The unit pressure of the general roller bearing is as high as 2000 ~ 4800Mpa, which is 2~5 times that of the ordinary bearing, and the PV value (the product of the unit pressure and the linear velocity) is 3~20 times that of the ordinary bearing. 2. The speed difference is large. The operating speed of different rolling mills varies greatly. For example, the export speed of modern six-stand cold rolling mill has reached 42 m/s, the export speed of high-speed wire rod mill has reached 100 m/s, and some low-speed rolling
