Rolls for Section Mills

To determine the correct roll material for the profile-steel rolling mills one has to compare the specific rolling mill conditions and the material properties of the roll. The following essential points have to be taken into consideration:

Roll Factory Conditions:

  • Type of Stand
  • Type of roll product
  • Mechanical demands (rolling pressure, driving torque and stock-reduction)
  • Roll calibration (initial pass and finish pass, bite angle and max. depth of pass)
  • Temperature demands (rolling temperature, -speed, roll cooling)

Properties of the roll material

  • mechanical properties (tensile- and bending strength, high thermal strength, modulus of elasticity)
  • surface hardness - radial hardness drop
  • wear resistance
  • Fire-crack resistance
  • Gripping capacity (Friction coefficient)
  • Oxidation stability
