Consequently,rolls are very critical to the costs of steel production. Besides the rolling accidents, surface quality problems, including inhomogeneous wear and a decrease of the surface roughness of the rolls are other main reasons for outage and a change of the rolls. Therefore, safe rolls, with superior wear resistance and roughness retentivity will be a future trend in the cold rolling steel industry. In this study, the property characteristics and in-service performance of high-speed steel （HSS） cold rolling work rolls at Baosteel are discussed. The results of this study indicate that in-service performance of HSS cold work rolls has an improvement over conventional rolls. Implementation of HSS work rolls will prolong the rolling campaign and improve the rolling stability, thus, the cost of cold rolling production can be better controlled.展开更多

The results revealed that the WC-Al2O3 composites doped with 0.1% CeOz possessed refined microstructure and enhanced mechanical properties compared with that of the undoped WC-Al2O3composites. Trace CeO2 suppressed the decarburization of WC, promoted the microstructural refinement, and improved the interface coherence of the WC matrix and Al2O3. When 0.1% CeO2 was added to the WC-Al2O3 composites, the effect of CeO2 resulted in the achievement of a relative density of 98.82% with an excellent Vickers hardness of 16.89 GPa, combining a fracture toughness of 9.85 MPa. m1/2 with an acceptable flexural strength of 1 024.05 MPa.展开更多
