Description

  The present invention relates to a composite roll for rolling excellent in wear resistance, rough skin resistance and accident resistance. In particular, it is suitable as a work roll used in the subsequent stage of the finishing row of a hot sheet rolling mill.

  Conventionally, a roll using a Glen-based cast iron material as an outer layer material has been used in the subsequent stage of the finishing line of a hot sheet rolling mill. In general, the Glen-based roll has excellent seizure resistance, and has an advantage that even if a rolling accident is encountered, there is little seizure of the material to be rolled, and there is little progress of occurrence of cracks.

  However, the wear resistance is considerably inferior to that of a roll containing a high-speed material containing a large amount of an alloy such as Cr, Mo, V, and W and crystallizing a very hard MC-based carbide.

Therefore, as a means for improving the wear resistance of the roll, a method of crystallizing or precipitating hard carbides such as MC and M ₂ C is known. As a means for improving seizure resistance, a method of crystallizing graphite, which is a solid lubricant, is known. However, V, Mo, and W, which are elements constituting the hard carbide, are whitening elements and have been difficult to coexist with graphite. In addition, when a Glen-based roll containing V or the like is manufactured by a centrifugal casting method, there is a problem that, for example, MC-based carbide segregates on the inner surface side due to a difference in specific gravity between the crystallized carbide and the molten metal.

  Various inventions have been made to solve such problems, and the present applicant has already proposed Patent Document 1. That is, in Patent Document 1, the chemical component is mass%, C: 2.0 to 4.0%, Si: 0.5 to 4.0%, Mn: 0.1 to 1.5%, Ni: 2.0 to 6.0%, Cr: 1.0 to 7.0%, V: 2.0 to 8.0%, balance Fe and impurity elements, and 0.5 to 0.5% by area structure A wear-resistant and seizure-resistant hot rolling roll having a metal structure composed of 5.0% graphite, 0.2 to 10.0% MC-based carbide, and 10.0 to 40.0% cementite. Has been described.

JP-A-6-335712

  The hot rolling roll of Patent Document 1 is obtained by crystallizing hard MC carbide to improve wear resistance. However, when the alloy is simply contained at a high concentration, MC carbides are likely to crystallize in a non-uniform manner, so the wear form of the roll becomes non-uniform, and the wear resistance and rough skin resistance are still insufficient. In addition, there is a problem that the shape of the hard carbide is not easily formed into a fine grain having a low notch coefficient, and the accident resistance is not sufficient.

  Furthermore, in the conventional composite roll in which the outer layer and the inner layer are metal-bonded, alloy components are mixed into the inner layer from the outer layer, and defects and carbide concentrated layers are generated at the boundary between the outer layer and the inner layer. There was also a problem that mechanical properties such as strength and toughness were easily deteriorated.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a composite roll for rolling excellent in wear resistance, rough skin resistance and accident resistance, and excellent in mechanical properties in the vicinity of the boundary between the outer layer and the inner layer. Is to provide.

  The inventor has improved the roll outer layer material of Patent Document 1 excellent in seizure resistance, and in particular, by containing Mg or Ca, the shape of the MC-based carbide is made into a fine granular shape, and the metal structure It was found that it could be dispersed uniformly in the inside, and improved wear resistance, rough skin resistance and accident resistance.

  Furthermore, it was found that by providing an intermediate layer of a predetermined component between the outer layer and the inner layer, mixing of the alloy components from the outer layer to the inner layer was suppressed, and the mechanical properties near the boundary between the outer layer and the inner layer could be improved. .

  That is, the composite roll for rolling of the present invention is composed of an Fe-based alloy containing 0.005 to 0.5% of Mg or Ca in an amount of 0.005 to 0.5% by mass, and the metal structure has an area% of 0.005. Any of 5-5% graphite, 0.1-10.0% MC carbide, outer layer having 10.0-45.0% cementite, flake graphite cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron and graphite steel C: 3.0 to 4.0%, Si: 4.0% or less, Ni: 1.0 to 5.0%, Cr: 0.1 to 1.5% V: 0.1 to 8.0% is contained, and it has an intermediate layer composed of the remaining Fe and impurity elements.

  Further, the outer layer is in mass%, C: more than 3.0% and 4.0% or less, Si: 3.0% or less, Ni: 2.3 to 5.5%, Cr: 0.1 to 2 0.0%, V: 0.3 to 10.0%, and further rare earth element (REM) 0.005 to 0.5%. Further, the outer layer is in mass%, Mn: 0.3 to 2.0%, Mo: 0.2 to 3.0%, W: 0.1 to 3.0%, Nb: 0.3 to 10. One of 0%, Co: 0.1 to 10.0%, Ti: 0.01 to 2.0%, B: 0.002 to 0.2%, Cu: 0.02 to 1.0% or It contains 2 or more types.

  The intermediate layer has a thickness in the roll radial direction of 10 mm or more. Moreover, the composite roll for rolling of the present invention is used for a work roll for a subsequent stage of a finishing row of a hot sheet rolling mill.

  The outer layer material of the composite roll for rolling of the present invention has graphite in its metal structure, and excellent seizure resistance and fracture toughness values necessary for ensuring accident resistance are improved according to the amount of graphite. When the amount of graphite is less than 0.5% in area%, the seizure resistance effect is not sufficient. On the other hand, if the amount of graphite exceeds 5.0%, the effect of improving the seizure resistance and fracture toughness value is saturated and the wear resistance is lowered. For this reason, the amount of graphite required is 0.5 to 5.0%. A more preferable amount of graphite is 1.0 to 3.0%.

  In order to improve the wear resistance, it is necessary to disperse hard carbides. In particular, MC carbide, which is a hard carbide, needs to be contained in an area of 0.1 to 10.0%. When the area percentage of the hard carbide is less than 0.1%, the wear resistance is not sufficient. In addition, due to the coexistence with graphite, it is difficult to produce hard carbide exceeding 10.0%. A more preferable area percentage of the MC-based carbide is 0.5 to 6.0%.

  Although cementite is softer than MC carbide, it can be easily crystallized without using an expensive alloy. Moreover, by crystallizing in a large amount, the particle size of the soft matrix can be made fine, the matrix area ratio can be reduced, and the wear resistance can be improved. If the crystallization amount of cementite is less than 10.0%, crystallization of graphite becomes difficult, and if it exceeds 45.0%, the toughness decreases. More preferable area percent of cementite is 15.0 to 40.0%.

  The base structure of the outer layer material is preferably substantially composed of martensite, bainite or pearlite.

  The outer layer material of the composite roll for rolling of the present invention has a predetermined amount of graphite, MC-based carbide, cementite in its metal structure, and contains Mg or Ca, so that the shape of the MC-based carbide is fine. It can be granulated and can be uniformly dispersed in the metal structure. In order to achieve the metal structure of the outer layer material of the present invention, the content range (% by mass) of each chemical component of the outer layer material is preferably as follows.

C: More than 3.0% and 4.0% or less C combines hard carbides such as cementite, MC, M ₂ C, M ₆ C, M ₇ C ₃ carbides by combining with Fe, Cr, V, etc. It is an element necessary for generating and enhancing the wear resistance and crystallization of graphite to impart seizure resistance. When C is 3.0% or less, the amount of carbide is insufficient and the amount of crystallization of graphite is also insufficient. If it exceeds 4.0%, the amount of cementite and hard carbide increases, and the toughness decreases. The content of C is preferably more than 3.0% and not more than 3.4%.

Si: 3.0% or less Si is a graphitization promoting element. If the total amount of Si in the outer layer material exceeds 3.0%, the matrix becomes brittle and the toughness decreases. Moreover, in order to crystallize graphite, it is necessary to add 0.03% or more of the total Si amount by inoculation. The amount of Si to be inoculated is preferably 0.1 to 0.5% of the total amount of Si. The total amount of Si in the outer layer material is preferably 0.8 to 3.0%, more preferably 1.0 to 2.0%.

Ni: 2.3 to 5.5%
Ni is effective for improving the crystallization of graphite and the hardenability of the matrix structure. Since the outer layer material of the present invention does not require quenching after casting, it may be contained by 2.3% or more. If it exceeds 5.5%, austenite becomes too stable, and it becomes difficult to transform into bainite or martensite. The content of Ni is preferably 3.0 to 5.0%, more preferably 4.0 to 5.0%.

Cr: 0.1 to 2.0%
Cr is an element effective for securing hardness and maintaining wear resistance by making the base structure bainite or martensite, and is required to be 0.1% or more. When Cr exceeds 2.0%, the crystallization of graphite is inhibited or the toughness of the base structure is lowered. In addition, Cr carbide (M ₇ C ₃ system, M ₂₃ C ₆ system) is formed, and since this carbide has lower hardness than MC system and M ₆ C system carbide, the effect of improving wear resistance cannot be expected. And become brittle. For this reason, the upper limit of Cr is set to 2.0%. The content of Cr is more preferably 1.0 to 1.8%.

V: 0.3 to 10.0%
V combines with C to produce MC carbide. The hardness of this MC-based carbide is Hv 2500 to 3000, and is extremely hard among the carbides. For this reason, V is one of the essential elements that is most effective in improving wear resistance. Not only crystallized carbides but also fine precipitated carbides in the matrix contributes to improved wear resistance. However, if excessively contained, crystallization of graphite is hindered and toughness is reduced. At the same time, MC-based carbides are coarsened and the rough skin resistance is lowered, which is not preferable. The content of V is preferably 2.0 to 5.0%.

Mg, Ca: 0.005 to 0.5%
Mg and Ca are the most characteristic elements in the roll outer layer material of the present invention. These are elements having a strong deoxidation and desulfurization action, and form oxides and sulfides. Although the detailed phenomenon is unknown, these are suspended in the molten metal to become nuclei and cause MC-based carbides to crystallize uniformly and finely. In addition, the MC-based carbide crystallized is assumed to be granular, just like the graphite of spheroidal graphite cast iron is spheroidized by adding Mg or the like. In order to make the shape of the MC carbide fine particles and uniformly disperse it in the metal structure, one or two of Mg and Ca needs to be 0.005% or more. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.5%, the effect is saturated, and addition of a large amount makes the reaction with the molten metal difficult and makes it difficult to work.

Rare earth element (REM): 0.005 to 0.5%
In the outer layer material of the present invention, 0.005 to 0.5% of rare earth element (REM) may be added. Although details are not yet clear, rare earth elements (REM) have the effect of granulating MC carbides and spheroidizing graphite in the same manner as Mg and Ca.

  Although the basic chemical components of the outer layer material of the present invention are as described above, the following various chemical components can be selectively added depending on the application and usage characteristics of the roll.

Mn: 0.3 to 2.0%
Mn is effective when deoxidation of molten metal and S, which is an impurity, are fixed as MnS and contained in an amount of 0.3% or more. If Mn exceeds 2.0%, retained austenite tends to be generated, and the hardness cannot be stably maintained. The Mn content is preferably 0.4 to 1.5%, more preferably 0.4 to 1.0%.

Mo: 0.2-3.0%
Mo combines with C to form hard M ₆ C-based and M ₂ C-based carbides, and dissolves in the base structure to strengthen the base structure, so it is effective in improving wear resistance. .Effective when contained in 2% or more. If it exceeds 3.0%, crystallization of graphite is inhibited, which is not preferable. The Mo content is preferably 0.2 to 1.0%.

W: 0.1-3.0%
W, like Mo, combines with C to form hard M ₆ C and M ₂ C carbides, and dissolves in the base structure to strengthen the base structure, so it is effective in improving wear resistance. Yes, containing 0.1% or more is effective. If it exceeds 3.0%, crystallization of graphite is inhibited, which is not preferable. The content of W is preferably 0.2 to 2.0%.

Nb: 0.3 to 10.0%
Nb combines with C in the same manner as V to produce MC-based carbides. When the outer layer material of the roll is formed by a centrifugal casting method, Nb has an effect of reducing the segregation of MC carbides. What is necessary is just to select the necessity of addition of Nb according to the addition amount of V at the time of centrifugal force casting.

Co: 0.1-10.0%
Co is an element effective for strengthening the base structure, but when it is excessive, toughness is reduced. Therefore, the Co content is 0.1 to 10.0%. Co also has the effect of destabilizing cementite and facilitating crystallization of graphite. The content of Co is preferably 3.0 to 7.0%.

Ti: 0.01 to 2.0%
Ti combines with N and O, which are graphitization inhibiting elements, to form oxynitrides. If Ti is less than 0.01%, the effect cannot be expected, and 2.0% is sufficient for Ti from the amount of N and O contained. The content of Ti is preferably 0.05 to 0.5%.

B: 0.002 to 0.2%
B has an effect of making carbide finer. If it is less than 0.002%, the effect is not sufficiently exhibited. If it exceeds 0.2%, the carbide becomes unstable. The content of B is preferably 0.01 to 0.05%.

Cu: 0.02 to 1.0%
Cu, like Co, has the effect of destabilizing cementite and facilitating crystallization of graphite. If it is less than 0.02%, the effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 1.0%, the toughness is lowered. The content of Cu is preferably 0.1 to 0.5%.

  Except for the above elements, the balance is substantially Fe except for impurities. The main elements as impurities are P and S. In order to prevent a decrease in toughness, the P content is preferably 0.1% or less, and the S content is preferably 0.08% or less.

  The inner layer of the composite roll of the present invention is preferably excellent in toughness, and specifically, is preferably composed of any one of flake graphite cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron and graphite steel.

  In addition, between the outer layer and the inner layer of the present invention, C: 3.0 to 4.0%, Si: 4.0% or less, Ni: 1.0 to 5.0%, Cr: 0 in mass%. An intermediate layer containing 0.1 to 1.5%, V: 0.1 to 8.0%, and remaining Fe and impurity elements is provided. By providing this intermediate layer, mixing of alloy components from the outer layer to the inner layer can be suppressed, and mechanical properties such as strength and toughness in the vicinity of the boundary between the outer layer and the inner layer can be improved. In order to fully exhibit the effect of the intermediate layer, the thickness of the intermediate layer is required to be 10 mm or more in the roll medium diameter direction. A more preferable intermediate layer thickness is 15 mm or more.

  The rolling composite roll of the present invention is preferably formed by a centrifugal casting method. In casting, it is necessary to inoculate using a Si-containing inoculant.

  By adding the Fe-Si inoculum, Ni-Mg inoculum, and Ca-Si inoculum in the ladle to the outer layer molten metal of the chemical components (sample Nos. 1 to 25) shown in Table 1 Then, Si, Mg, and Ca were added, and the molten metal for outer layer was poured into a rotating mold for centrifugal casting to perform centrifugal casting. After the molten cylindrical outer layer was almost completely solidified, the molten intermediate layer composed of the chemical component of the present invention was cast by centrifugal force, and the intermediate layer was deposited on the inner surface of the outer layer. After the outer layer and the intermediate layer are almost completely solidified, stop the mold rotation, stand the mold vertically, set the upper and lower molds at both ends, and spheroidal graphite cast iron as the inner layer inside the mold Was cast. Then, the intermediate layer and the inner layer were completely welded. Thus, after the composite roll was completely cooled, it was taken out from the mold to produce the roll of the present invention.

  FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the composite roll body of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the roll of the present invention is configured by providing an intermediate layer 22 between an outer layer 21 and an inner layer 23. Note that the intermediate layer may be provided not only in one layer but also in two or more layers. Further, the inner layer may have a hollow sleeve shape as well as a solid shape.

After rolling, the depth of wear generated on the surface of the test roll was measured with a stylus type surface roughness meter.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a frictional thermal shock tester. In FIG. 2, the frictional thermal shock tester rotates a pinion 10 by dropping a weight 9 on a rack 8, and causes the biting material 12 to come into strong contact with the test material 11.

  From Table 2, the roll outer layer material of the present invention example contains Mg or Ca, so that the shape of the MC-based carbide is finely granulated and uniformly dispersed in the metal structure. Good results were obtained for both rough skin and accident resistance.

  Compared to the inventive example, Comparative Example 21 is inferior in fracture toughness value. Comparative Example 22 has a large amount of wear and is inferior in wear resistance. Comparative Example 23 has a large seizure area ratio and is inferior in seizure resistance. Comparative Example 24 has a large amount of wear and is inferior in wear resistance. It was confirmed that Comparative Example 25 was inferior in seizure resistance and rough skin resistance because the area ratio of baking was large and the skin roughness was also large.

That is, it was found that the composite roll for rolling of the present invention was provided with an intermediate layer, so that alloy mixing from the outer layer to the inner layer was suppressed, and the strength of the boundary portion was sufficient.

  As described above, the outer layer material of the rolling composite roll of the present invention has both wear resistance and accident resistance due to the coexistence of graphite and hard carbide.
