How to extend the service life of rolls

There are four main forms of mill roll damage: roll body fracture, roll neck fracture, peeling and roll body cracking. Among them, roll peeling is the primary damage form and the main reason for roll damage and even early scrapping.

　　 Mill Roll spalling not only causes difficulty in roll grinding organization, but also greatly increases the direct cost of strip production, and directly threatens the long-term normal and stable operation of the strip rolling production line. Therefore, it is very necessary to explore the reasons of roll peeling and find out effective ways to extend the service life of rolls.

How to extend the service life of Mill rolls:

The molten steel in the furnace is injected into the mold through the gap between the surface of the roll mandrel and the copper mold wall. The water-cooled copper mold can not only solidify the molten steel to form a composite layer, but also act as a non-consumable electrode. Electricity is provided in the slag pool to supplement the continuously consumed heat energy. A very thin layer on the surface of the roll mandrel is melted and needs to be filled with composite liquid metal. A composite layer is formed between the roll mandrel and the copper mold. The filling of molten steel can be continuous or step by step according to a preset procedure . The molten steel pushes the slag to the top, and occupies the original position of the slag to fuse with the melted part of the roll mandrel to form a composite layer. In the compounding process, the part after fusion and solidification is pulled out of the copper mold and the next part is continuously poured. The use of ESSL volume technology has produced a new generation of high-speed steel composite rolls. This roll contains a large amount of carbide-forming elements, and the service life of the roll has been increased several times. It not only resists thermal fatigue, but also resists various corrosions.
