Abstract

Generally the roll grade development in Plate Mills has for many years followed the development from the Hot Strip Mill segment. New grades have been gradually introduced in the Plate Mills after being fully accepted in the Hot Strip Mills. Many Plate Mills around the world today are still using roll grades that were developed more than 30 years ago. Plate Mill roll grade development will be described in this paper in a historical sequence and major development steps going from old static cast rolls to modern advanced spun cast rolls will be elaborated. Reasoning for the choice of various roll grades will be discussed as well as some comparison of performance and surface aspects on both the roll surface and rolled products. The paper will also look into the near and far future regarding what could be possible or not with respect to roll manufacturing technologies as well as roll grade modifications.
