Abstract

The conditions rolling heavy sections are very complicated and create different surface conditions (uneven wear, fire cracks, sticking) in various areas of the passes. Additionally the roll pass design influences wear. Rolling loads may cause breakages of the barrel or of collars. The varieties of surface defects and the required strength of rolls cause difficulties in selecting the most wear resistant material for the rolls. Conventional methods do not overcome these problems. It is recommended that to optimize the rolling conditions the bar surface temperature is equalized and that roll lubrication, good descaling and surface skin cooling is used. The goal is to achieve better roll and mill performance with more wear resistant materials.
