Development and production status of high-speed steel rolls

High-speed steel rolls development and production status High-speed steel rolls are a type of hot rolling roll material with a shorter history, faster development, and broader application prospects. High-speed steel, also known as wind steel or sharp steel, means that it can be hardened even when cooled in air during quenching, and it is very sharp. It is a complex alloy steel containing carbide-forming elements such as tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and vanadium. The total amount of alloying elements is about 10%~25%. The application of high-speed steel rolls is an important part of the development of modern steel rolling production. This is another major change in the development of the steel industry following micro-alloying, controlled rolling, and cooling technology. In Japan, high-speed steel rolls have been widely used in the steel rolling production of plates, profiles, bars, and wires, and are used not only for work rolls but also for support rolls. The good wear resistance of high-speed steel rolls is inseparable from its characteristics different from traditional rolls. The unit price of high-speed steel rolls is indeed higher than that of high-boron and high-nickel chromium rolls, but due to material characteristics, the steel throughput capacity of high-speed steel rolls is far higher than that of high-boron and high-nickel chromium rolls, such as 12 quarter-cut threaded steel bars, high-speed steel K1 single-groove steel throughput capacity 350 tons, high-boron only 150 tons, high-nickel chromium only 100 tons; high-speed steel K3 single-group can steel output is 2800 tons, high-boron contains
