Description

The present invention relates to a method for reclaiming a used composite roll for use in hot and cold rolling operations of a thin plate, a steel bar, a wire, or a shape steel, and a regenerated composite roll produced by this method. .

Conventionally, in steel rolling, demand for products with high dimensional and shape accuracy has increased, and improvement in productivity has been desired, so for rolling rolls that directly affect product quality and production efficiency, There has been a strong demand for low wear and wear and excellent resistance to rough skin.
Accordingly, for example, a high speed roll (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a roll) using a so-called continuous casting method disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has been developed. Specifically, it is a composite roll in which an iron-based outer layer material (containing alloy elements such as C, V, Cr, Mo, W, Co) is formed around a core material made of a steel material by a continuous casting method. The shore hardness is in the range of 70-100.

Since this roll has very little wear and can maintain a good skin for a long time, it is applied to a hot rolling operation of a thin plate, a steel bar, a wire, or a shape steel, or a cold rolling operation of a thin plate. In addition, the diameter of the trunk | drum is used within the range preset by the restrictions of rolling equipment, and the roll mentioned above by wear by use and the consumption by the grinding work for smoothing the roll surface. When the lower limit of the range was reached, it was discarded.
For this reason, conventionally, the above-described hot rolling operation or cold rolling operation has been performed using a newly manufactured roll.

International Publication No. WO91-19824 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-277611

However, since the core material which comprises a roll is comprised with the tough steel material which is tough and very expensive, the process was expensive, and the manufacturing cost of the roll was made high. For this reason, the purchase cost of a user's roll also became high, and the running cost of the roll was caused to increase. Since the core material is not worn by the rolling operation, it is not economical to discard it as it is.
Further, the core material has no problem if it is in stock at the supplier, but if it is not in stock, it needs to be newly processed, and the procurement may take a long time. For this reason, the manufacturing period of the roll became long, and it took time to deal with the user.

In the recycling method of the used roll composite roll according to the first invention, after mechanically cutting one or both of the shaft portions provided on both sides of the body portion, a new one is used instead of the mechanically cut shaft portion. It is preferable to use a composite roll for repair rolling in which the shafts are connected by welding as the composite roll for used rolling.
In the method for regenerating a used roll composite roll according to the first invention, it is preferable that the shaft portion connected by the welding is machined to a predetermined dimension.

The method for recycling a used roll composite roll according to the second aspect of the present invention has a core material made of a steel-based material, and a hard first iron-based outer layer material is formed in the body by a continuous casting method. A method for regenerating a used composite roll for rolling,

The recycled composite roll according to the third aspect of the invention that meets the above object is manufactured by the method for recycling the used composite roll for rolling according to the first and second aspects of the invention.
In the recycled composite roll according to the third invention, when the first iron-based outer layer material and the second iron-based outer layer material left in the body portion of the recycled composite roll are cast, both materials are melted. Are preferably mixed.

The recycling method of the used roll composite roll according to claims 1 to 11 and the recycled composite roll according to claims 12 and 13, wherein the surface of the body of the composite roll for used rolling is machined to expose the substrate. Since the second iron-based outer layer material is formed around the periphery using the continuous casting method, it is not necessary to procure a new core material as in the prior art, and the processing can be minimized. For this reason, a high performance recycled composite roll can be manufactured with good yield, a short construction period and at low cost, and has great industrial value.
In addition, since the chemical component of the specified second iron-based outer layer material is an expensive high-speed material, the effect of regenerating and using the used roll composite roll appears more remarkably.

In particular, in the method for regenerating a used roll composite roll according to claim 3, when the diameter of the trunk core material of the used roll composite roll becomes smaller, the core material is applied to a part or all of the surface thereof. Since the build-up material having the same degree of hardness as the constituent material is welded, the regeneration can be repeated.
In the method for regenerating a used roll composite roll according to claims 4 and 10, since the machining of the surface of the body portion is performed leaving a part of the first iron-based outer layer material, the diameter of the core material is remarkably small. The core material is only slightly smaller than the dimension before use of the used composite roll for rolling, because the amount of erosion loss during casting (for example, more than 0 and 10 mm or less) is slightly reduced. Therefore, reproduction can be repeated. On the other hand, when the machining of the surface of the body portion is not performed leaving the first iron-based outer layer material, the diameter of the core material becomes small. The number of reproductions is not desirable because there is no difference in diameter from the shaft portion, and as a result, casting work cannot be performed.
Therefore, the recycled composite roll can be used as it is in the same place where it was used last time, for example, hot rolling or cold rolling.
Also, by leaving the first iron-based outer layer material on the surface of the core material, it is possible to increase the bonding force compared to the case where the second iron-based outer layer material is directly formed on the surface of the core material, and to improve product quality Can be improved. Furthermore, compared with the case where there is no first iron-based outer layer material, the thickness of the second iron-based outer layer material cast can be reduced, so that the manufacturing cost of the recycled composite roll can be further reduced.

Since the recycling method of the used roll composite roll according to claim 5 uses the composite roll for repair rolling that is welded on the surface of the shaft portion provided in the body portion as the used roll composite roll, For example, even if the shaft portion is partially damaged, it can be reused simply by repairing the portion.
The regeneration method of the composite roll for used rolling of Claim 6 is a composite roll for used rolling, after mechanically cutting the axial part provided in the trunk | drum, this was connected with the new axial part by welding. Since the composite roll for repair rolling is used, for example, even if the entire shaft portion is damaged, it can be reused simply by replacing that portion.
In the method for regenerating a used roll composite roll according to the seventh aspect, since the shaft portions connected by welding are machined to a predetermined size, for example, they can be easily reshaped into the original shape.

Since the recycling method of the composite roll for used rolling according to claim 9 performs the welding build-up performed in the fifth step, and further during or after the process of either one or both of the sixth step and the seventh step, For example, even if damage is discovered in the recycling process of the composite roll for used rolling, it can be easily repaired.

It is explanatory drawing of the composite roll for rolling which concerns on a prior art example.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for understanding of the present invention.
In the following description, the same numbers are assigned to the used composite rolls for used rolling and the used composite rolls for regenerated composite rolls that have been recovered in order to eliminate the complexity of the description. Yes. Similarly, the first iron-based outer layer material and the second iron-based outer layer material also have the same numbers, although the shapes are different in each manufacturing process.
As shown in FIG. 1, a recycled composite roll (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a “recycled composite roll” or “roll”) 10 manufactured by the method for recycling a used roll composite roll according to an embodiment of the present invention is a core material 11. A used roll composite roll 14 in which a hard first iron-based outer layer material 13 is formed by a conventionally known continuous casting method (also referred to as a continuous casting method) is used for the body portion 12. The surface of the body portion 15 of the finished roll composite roll 14 is machined to expose the base, and the second iron-based outer layer material 16 is formed around the surface using a continuous casting method. This will be described in detail below.

The recycled composite roll 10 is used in the rolling of steel, in particular, in the hot rolling operation and cold rolling operation of a thin plate, steel bar, wire or shape steel, and the dimensions thereof are the same as those of the composite roll 14 for used rolling. The same dimensions as before use (when not in use). In addition, although the dimension of a reproduction | regeneration composite roll can also be made into the small diameter which can be used for an installation, the diameter range to use reduces and is not economical.
The outer diameter (trunk diameter) D of the trunk portion (outer layer) 17 of the recycled composite roll 10 is, for example, 300 to 900 mm, and the width (trunk length) W of the trunk portion 17 is, for example, 1500 to 2500 mm. The total length L including shaft portions (hereinafter also referred to as bearing portions) 18 and 19 provided on both sides of the body portion 17 is, for example, 4000 to 7000 mm.

The used rolling composite roll 14 has a core material 11 made of a steel material (for example, an alloy for mechanical structure such as chromium-molybdenum steel), and on both sides of the body portion 12 of the core material 11. , Shaft portions 18 and 19 are provided. In addition, although the axial parts 18 and 19 are made into different shapes corresponding to an installation, they may be the same shape.
When the shaft portion is hardly damaged in use, the used composite roll for rolling can be used as the used composite roll 14 for rolling as it is without repairing the shaft portion. However, if one or both of the shaft parts, for example, wear, bends, dents, or oxidation partially occurs, or if damage is caused entirely, a repair rolling composite repaired by the following method. The roll is used as a composite roll 14 for used rolling.

When the shaft part is partially damaged, the meat having the same degree of hardness as the material constituting the core material (for example, about Hv 300 to 400, the same shall apply hereinafter) on part or all of the surface of the shaft part The build-up material is welded by submerged arc welding and machined as necessary.
When the shaft portion is totally damaged, the damaged shaft portion is mechanically cut, and then a new shaft portion is connected by welding instead of the mechanically cut shaft portion. In addition, this shaft portion is obtained by joining shaft materials having the same degree of hardness as the material constituting the core material by welding, and then, this shaft material is formed into a final shape (predetermined shape: the shape of the shaft portion of the recycled composite roll as a product) ), The shaft portion machined to the final shape may be joined by welding.

In addition, when the diameter of the core part of the core of the composite roll for used rolling becomes small in the regeneration process, a part of or all of the surface is built up with a hardness comparable to the material constituting the core. Weld the material.
Through the above repair work, the damaged used composite roll for rolling can be returned to a better state and used.
In the recycled composite roll 10, a first iron-based outer layer material 13 having a thickness T1 of, for example, more than 0 and 30 mm or less (preferably 10 mm or less) is formed on the peripheral surface of the body portion 12 of the core material 11. On the peripheral surface of the first iron-based outer layer material 13, a second iron-based outer layer material 16 having a thickness T2 of, for example, 50 mm or more and 150 mm or less is cast. Note that the first iron-based outer layer material 13 and the second iron-based outer layer material 16 are desirably melt-mixed. Further, the second iron-based outer layer material 16 may be directly formed on the peripheral surface of the trunk portion 12 of the core material 11 without using the first iron-based outer layer material 13 described above.

The above-described first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 are in mass%, C: 0.5 to 3.0%, Si: 0.2 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.2 to 2 0.0%, V: 0.5 to 10.0%, Cr: 3.0 to 10.0%, Mo: 2.0 to 10.0%, and W: 2.0 to 10.0 %, And the balance consists of Fe and inevitable impurities.
The first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 are preferably made of hard granular carbides in order to secure wear resistance and improve heat cracking resistance, and mainly use MC type carbides. doing. The crystallization amount of this MC type carbide is an area ratio, and is required to be 5% or more (upper limit is, for example, about 10%) for hot rolling and 1% or more and 5% or less for cold rolling. .
On the other hand, when M ₇ C ₃ type, M ₂ C type and M ₃ C type carbides that crystallize at the same time are small, the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and the wear resistance is ensured. It is effective.

Next, the reason why the chemical components of the first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 are limited will be described.
C (carbon): 0.5 mass% or more and 3.0 mass% or less C is the most important element for obtaining hardness that directly affects the performance of the roll. For this reason, when the amount of C is less than 0.5% by mass, the amount of crystallization of hard carbide effective for improving wear resistance and skin roughness resistance is small, and the amount of C dissolved in the base is insufficient. Even with hardenability, sufficient base hardness cannot be obtained, and the effect of alloy addition cannot be fully exhibited, and the wear resistance is significantly reduced. On the other hand, if it exceeds 3.0% by mass, the amount of crystallization of brittle carbides increases, and especially coarse carbides aggregate and crystallize at the grain boundaries. As a result, the rolled product was damaged and could not be used, so this was made the upper limit.

Si (silicon) and Mn (manganese): 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less, respectively Si and Mn do not characterize the present invention, but both improve the deoxidation effect and the fluidity of the molten metal. For the purpose of the above, an amount of 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less contained in general high speed steel is included. In addition, since the effect is inadequate when less than 0.2 mass%, and exceeds 2.0 mass%, toughness falls, it specified in the above-mentioned range.

V (vanadium): 0.5% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less V is preferentially bonded to C and is added to cementite (Fe ₃ C) and chromium carbide (Cr ₇ C ₃ ) found in conventional rolls. It is an extremely effective element for improving wear resistance by crystallizing and precipitating granular MC type carbide, that is, VC type carbide. The content of V is selected in relation to C.
Here, in the range where C is 0.5% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less (the above-mentioned C: a range including 0.5 to 3.0% by mass), the V amount is less than 0.5% by mass. In this case, the VC type carbide was not crystallized and precipitated, and the wear resistance could not be improved. On the other hand, when it exceeds 10.0 mass%, as described above, a large amount of primary crystal carbides crystallize, and the strength of the material is impaired, and the carbide precipitates at the grain boundaries, and this is chipped off from the roll surface during rolling use. In order to impair the rough skin resistance, this was made the upper limit.

Cr (chromium): 3.0% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less Cr alone is Cr ₇ C ₃ carbide, and is agglomerated and crystallized in a large amount in a network at the grain boundaries. Since it is not generated, it is limited to 10.0% by mass or less. In addition, Cr may form a hard M ₂ C type eutectic carbide together with Mo (molybdenum) and W (tungsten), but it is necessary to limit the amount of crystallization as described later. On the other hand, Cr is a solid solution in the matrix structure, improves the hardness by quenching, and is an element effective for accelerating the precipitation hardening action in tempering. It is necessary to contain 0% by mass or more, and this is set as the lower limit.

Mo (molybdenum): 2.0 mass% or more and 10.0 mass% or less W (tungsten): 2.0 mass% or more and 10.0 mass% or less Mo and W are M ₂ C type eutectic carbides as seeds. It is formed and improves wear resistance, and has been actively used in the past. This carbide crystallizes at the grain boundary in the form of a rod or plate. In this respect, although not as harmful as the above-mentioned Fe ₃ C and Cr ₇ C ₃ which are agglomerated and crystallized, when a plurality of carbides are crystallized densely, it is regarded as a large carbide as a result. Chipped. For this reason, it is desirable to suppress the amount of crystallization to a small amount, and practically, the area ratio in the structure is set to 3% or less.

In the present invention, the M ₂ C type carbide crystallized during casting becomes M ₆ C type carbide through the subsequent heat treatment step. On the other hand, Mo, like Cr, partly dissolves in the matrix structure, improves hardness by quenching, further promotes precipitation hardening in tempering, and W also partially dissolves in matrix structure, When subjected to hot rolling in order to improve the strength and hardness at high temperatures, it has the effect of improving wear resistance. In order to exhibit the effect, it is necessary to contain one or two kinds of Mo of 2.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass and W of 2.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass. In consideration of the amount of the crystallization carbide, the total amount of both elements is desirably 4% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less.

Furthermore, the 1st, 2nd iron-type outer-layer material 13 and 16 are the mass%, Ni: 0.2-5.0%, Co: 0.2-10.0%, Nb: 0.2-2. 0.0% and Ti: more than 0 and 0.2% or less may be included, or one or more of them may be contained.
Ni (nickel): 0.2% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less Ni, when added in an amount of 0.2% by mass or more, has an effect of improving hardenability. When a roll having a large diameter or the like requires a large depth of hardness, it may be added according to the requirement. However, when added in a large amount, the retained austenite becomes excessive and high hardness cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is effective to use in a range of 5.0% by mass or less.

Co (cobalt): 0.2% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less Co is added in an amount of 0.2% by mass or more to improve the hardness and strength of the base under high temperature use. In this case, it is effective to use in the range of 10.0% by mass or less.

Nb (Niobium): 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less Nb generates MC type carbides similarly to V. Therefore, as an alternative element of V, 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less It is effective to add. The upper limit was set to 2.0 mass% at which MC carbide (NbC) was dispersed and crystallized without segregation due to the addition of Nb, and the lower limit was set to 0.2 mass%, which had practical effects.

Ti (titanium): more than 0 and 0.2% by mass or less Ti produces extremely fine and extremely hard TiC carbides, but also serves as a crystallization nucleus for MC type carbides and promotes dispersion of carbides. It is effective to do. The content is effective even with a small amount, but the practical lower limit is 0.02% by mass. Ti is an extremely strong oxidizing element, and the oxidation product does not remain as inclusion defects in the outer layer material, so the upper limit was set to 0.2% by mass.

The first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 shown above may further contain either one or both of Al (aluminum) and Zr (zirconium). When the content is less than or equal to mass%, the same effects as Ti are obtained, and the effects of the present invention are not impaired.
The chemical components constituting the first iron-based outer layer material 13 and the second iron-based outer layer material 16 may be the same or different as long as they are within the above-described chemical components and their content ranges. It may be.

Next, a method for recycling a used roll composite roll according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, the used rolling composite roll 14 recovered from the hot rolling facility or the cold rolling facility is annealed (for example, about 600 to 900 ° C.), and the first remaining in the body portion 15 of the used rolling composite roll 14. The iron-based outer layer material 13 is softened.
Here, for example, one or more of visual inspection, penetrating flaw detection method, and ultrasonic flaw detection method are used to confirm that there are no harmful defects on the surface and inside of the collected composite roll 14 for used rolling. To confirm (the first step).

Next, the body 15 of the annealed used composite roll 14 for rolling is machined to expose the metal surface.
At this time, machining is performed on the outer periphery of the body portion 12 of the core material 11 so that the first iron-based outer layer material 13 remains within the range of 0 to 30 mm. In this case, the surface of the first iron-based outer layer material 13 is the above-described exposed metal surface (that is, the base).
In addition, you may perform a machining to the trunk | drum 12 of the core material 11 further. In this case, the surface of the trunk portion 12 of the core material 11 is the above-described exposed metal surface (that is, the base material).
The surface of the trunk | drum 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling can be smoothed by the above machining (2nd process above).

And the 2nd iron-type outer-layer material 16 is formed in the trunk | drum 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling with a conventionally well-known continuous casting method (for example, Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2000-176628). Briefly, the molten metal composed of the chemical components described above is injected into the gap between the fireproof frame and the body portion 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling to perform induction heating, and then provided below the fireproof frame. The molten iron is solidified in a water-cooled mold to form the second iron-based outer layer material 16, and the integrated second iron-based outer layer material 16 and the used composite roll 14 for rolling are sequentially drawn downward to produce a roll. To do.
Conventionally, every time a composite roll for rolling is manufactured, a forged steel core material is newly procured and used, so that the processing takes time, and it takes a long time to procure. On the other hand, in this invention, since the roll is regenerated using the composite roll 14 for used rolling having the core material 11 made of forged steel, the time until procurement becomes unnecessary.

As a result, it is possible to supply the high-performance recycled composite roll 10 at a low cost and in a short construction period.
In particular, by casting the second iron-based outer layer material 16 in a state in which all or part of the first iron-based outer layer material 13 is left on the surface of the body portion 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling, The following advantages are obtained.
Since the first iron-based outer layer material 13 has a low melting point, at the time of cast casting, the first iron-based outer layer material 13 remaining on the surface of the body portion 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling melts, and the second The iron-based outer layer material 16 can be easily welded to the core material 11 via the first iron-based outer layer material 13, and a healthy boundary layer that is difficult to peel off can be formed.
In addition, this makes it possible to repeatedly regenerate and use the roll without excessively increasing the thickness of the second iron-based outer layer material 16, and to reduce variations in product quality produced by rolling (above) , Third step).

By the method described above, the used rolling composite roll 14 on which the second iron-based outer layer material 16 is formed is annealed (for example, about 600 to 900 ° C.) (the fourth step).
And the build-up which has the hardness comparable as the material which comprises the core material 11 in the worn part, the bent part, the recessed part, or the oxidized part of the axial part of the processed composite roll 14 for used rolling Weld the material. At this time, if the shaft portion is totally damaged, after mechanically cutting the damaged shaft portion, a new shaft member is connected by welding instead of the machine-cut shaft portion, and this shaft member is further connected. Is machined to final shape dimensions.
Further, the body portion of the composite roll 14 for used rolling may be welded here.
In addition, about the welding overlay of the axial part and trunk | drum of the composite roll 14 for used rolling, you may perform in another process, without restricting to this process (above, 5th process).
Next, the composite roll 14 for welding rolling that has been welded is machined into a predetermined shape, that is, a shape that is several percent larger than the final product, to produce a recycled intermediate roll (the sixth step). .
And the heat processing shown below is given with respect to this reproduction | regeneration intermediate | middle roll.

First, after cast casting, the entire regenerated intermediate roll is heated to, for example, 750 ° C. or higher in a heat treatment furnace and held for a certain period of time, then cooled in the furnace or in the atmosphere and annealed to remove casting stress. The second iron-based outer layer material 16 is softened to facilitate processing.
Thereafter, the surface of the cast-in part and the unstable part of the structure at both ends are machined, and the entire regenerated intermediate roll or the body is heated to 900 ° C. or higher and 1100 ° C. or lower and held for a certain time. And after quenching by cooling to near normal temperature by air, blast, or air-water spray, the base is made hard martensite or bainite, and it is 500 ° C or higher and 600 ° C or lower once or twice or more. Tempering is performed, and the Shore hardness (HS) is set to 70-100.
In addition, when performing the above-described casting and heat treatment, deformation and high-temperature oxidation of the surface occur in the shaft portions 18 and 19.

Therefore, the welding build-up performed in the fifth step described above is performed on the whole or a part of the shaft portions 18 and 19 during or after either one or both of the sixth step and the seventh step, Ensure shape restoration and strength. Here, by performing the above-described build-up welding before quenching or before tempering, residual stress due to build-up welding can be removed by a heat treatment performed thereafter.
By adopting this method, the degree of freedom of selection of usable build-up welding materials is expanded, so that the positions of the bearing portions 20 and 21 of the shaft portions 18 and 19 and the end portion of the drive-side shaft portion 19 are particularly high. The wear damage of the wobbler portion (portion inserted into the drive system coupling) 22 can be reduced, and the strength can be improved if necessary.
The annealing and quenching are usually performed by heating the entire regenerated intermediate roll, but a method of heating only the body portion, for example, induction heating method can also be adopted. This is desirable from the viewpoint of less deformation and oxidation of the shaft (the seventh step).

The recycled intermediate roll heat-treated by the above-described method is finished into a final shape (product shape) by machining to obtain a recycled composite roll 10 (the eighth step).
In addition, after the casting casting shown above, after the pre-quenching process, and when the recycled composite roll 10 is completed, any one or more of the above-described visual inspection, penetration flaw detection method, and ultrasonic flaw detection method is used. After confirming that, the produced recycled composite roll 10 is used.

Next, examples carried out for confirming the effects of the present invention will be described.
Here, a roll for a finish rolling mill (recycled composite roll) used for hot sheet continuous rolling (hot strip mill) having a trunk diameter of 620 mm, a trunk length of 1850 mm, and a total length of 4573 mm was manufactured. In the production of a roll for a finish rolling mill, the core material shown in Table 1 and the second iron-based outer layer material having a chemical component (high-speed type) shown in Table 1 are used, and shown in Table 1 by a continuous casting method. Casting was performed at a casting speed, and a part or the whole of the shaft portion was subjected to machining (machining to a small size), welded joint, or overlay welding. This will be specifically described below.

Example 1 shown in Table 1 is a recycled composite roll 30 shown in FIG.
This recycled composite roll 30 is the first iron remaining in the used composite roll for rolling (dotted line in FIG. 2) having a trunk diameter: 660 mm (discarded trunk diameter: 575 mm), trunk length: 1940 mm, and total length: 5600 mm. The entire outer layer material is removed, and the second iron-based outer layer material 33 is welded to the outer peripheral surface of the core portion 32 of the core material with a further reduced size by a continuous casting method. Finally, the shaft portion 31 is machined.

Examples 2 and 3 are regenerated composite rolls 40 and 50 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively.
The recycled composite rolls 40 and 50 are machined so that the barrel diameters of the barrel portions 42 and 52 are 530 mm using the composite rolls 41 and 51 for used rolling whose barrel diameter is 550 mm. In a state where the first iron-based outer layer materials 43 and 53 having a thickness of more than 0 and 15 mm or less remain in the portions 42 and 52, the second iron-based outer layer materials 44 and 54 are continuously cast on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Welded. The first iron-based outer layer material and the second iron-based outer layer material are both within the chemical component range of the present invention.
The shaft portions 45 and 46 provided on both sides of the recycled composite roll 40 of Example 2 were subjected to overlay welding of the Hv350 level overlay material by the submerged arc method before tempering finally performed. The shape is restored to the unused state (shaded portion in FIG. 3). This is because the shaft portion is deformed and oxidized, and its diameter is reduced.

Further, the bearing portion 56 of the non-driving side shaft portion 55 provided on one side of the reproduction composite roll 50 of the third embodiment and the driving side shaft portion 57 provided on the other driving side are also the same as those of the above-described second embodiment. For the same reason as the recycled composite roll 40, its shape is restored to the unused state (shaded area in FIG. 4). In addition, with respect to the regenerative composite roll 50 of Example 3, after further cutting the portion of the non-driving side shaft portion 55 having a small diameter (thrust bearing portion on the front side of the bearing portion), a new shaft material 58 is used as a bearing. The part 56 is joined by welding, and finally the shape is restored by machining.

On the other hand, the conventional example is a composite roll for rolling 60 shown in FIG.
This composite roll 60 for rolling uses an unused forged steel core material 61 obtained by machining a forged steel material, and a second iron-based outer layer material is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the body 63 of the forged steel core material 61. 64 is welded by a continuous casting method. The shaft portion 62 is finally machined.
Table 2 shows various manufacturing conditions and test results of the above-described conventional example and Examples 1 to 3.

In all of Examples 1 to 3, the casting speed in the continuous casting method was 1.5 times that of the conventional example, which was 22.5 mm / min, but the second iron-based outer layer material was used. The boundary between the surface of the used composite roll for rolling and the second ferrous outer layer material was welded to the composite roll for rolling. In addition, it annealed immediately after casting, the body part of the roll was machined, and the quenching tempering process was performed. This final tempering was performed at 550 ° C., and the residual stress in the weld was removed before use.
As a result, the performance of the second iron-based outer layer material of Examples 1 to 3, that is, the wear resistance and the rough skin resistance, both obtained results equal to or better than those of the conventional examples, and the strength sufficiently withstands use. I was able to confirm that.
From the above, the use of composite rolls for used rolling eliminates the core material procurement period, which previously required time, significantly shortens the work period, and reduces the cost of new core material purchase. It has been confirmed that the manufacturing cost of the composite roll for rolling can be reduced.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and the matters described in the scope of claims. Other embodiments and modifications conceivable within the scope are also included. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a case where a part of or a whole of the above-described embodiments and modifications are combined to form a recycled composite roll for use rolling according to the present invention and a recycled composite roll manufactured by this method. Included in the scope of rights.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a recycled composite roll obtained by regenerating a used composite roll for use in hot and cold rolling operations of steel sheets, steel bars, wire rods, and shaped steels in rolling steel.

Conventionally, in steel rolling, demand for products with high dimensional and shape accuracy has increased, and improvement in productivity has been desired, so for rolling rolls that directly affect product quality and production efficiency, There has been a strong demand for low wear and wear and excellent resistance to rough skin.
Accordingly, for example, a high speed roll (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a roll) using a so-called continuous casting method disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 has been developed. Specifically, it is a composite roll in which an iron-based outer layer material (containing alloy elements such as C, V, Cr, Mo, W, Co) is formed around a core material made of a steel material by a continuous casting method. The shore hardness is in the range of 70-100.

Since this roll has very little wear and can maintain a good skin for a long time, it is applied to a hot rolling operation of a thin plate, a steel bar, a wire, or a shape steel, or a cold rolling operation of a thin plate. In addition, the diameter of the trunk | drum is used within the range preset by the restrictions of rolling equipment, and the roll mentioned above by wear by use and the consumption by the grinding work for smoothing the roll surface. When the lower limit of the range was reached, it was discarded.
For this reason, conventionally, the above-described hot rolling operation or cold rolling operation has been performed using a newly manufactured roll.

International Publication No. WO91-19824 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-277611

However, since the core material which comprises a roll is comprised with the tough steel material which is tough and very expensive, the process was expensive, and the manufacturing cost of the roll was made high. For this reason, the purchase cost of a user's roll also became high, and the running cost of the roll was caused to increase. Since the core material is not worn by the rolling operation, it is not economical to discard it as it is.
Further, the core material has no problem if it is in stock at the supplier, but if it is not in stock, it needs to be newly processed, and the procurement may take a long time. For this reason, the manufacturing period of the roll became long, and it took time to deal with the user.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a reproducing composite roll of reproducing short construction period a and a composite roll inexpensively spent rolling.

The recycled composite roll according to the first invention that meets the above object has a core material made of a steel-based material, and is used for used rolling in which a hard first iron-based outer layer material is formed on a body portion by a continuous casting method. The surface of the body portion of the composite roll is machined to expose the base, and in the periphery, C: 0.5 to 3.0%, Si: 0.2 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.2 to 2.0%, V: 0.5 to 10.0%, Cr: 3.0 to 10.0%, Mo: 2.0 to 10.0% and W: 2. A second iron-based outer layer material having either one or both of 0 to 10.0%, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, is formed using a continuous casting method , and is provided on both sides of the barrel portion. After mechanically cutting one or both of the shaft portions that were being cut, a new shaft portion was joined by welding instead of the mechanically cut shaft portion.
The recycled composite roll according to the second invention that meets the above-mentioned object has a core material made of a steel-based material, and is used for used rolling in which a hard first iron-based outer layer material is formed on a body portion by a continuous casting method. The surface of the body portion of the composite roll is machined to expose the base, and C: 0.5 to 3.0%, Si: 0.2 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.2 to 2.0%, V: 0.5-10.0%, Cr: 3.0-10.0%, Mo: 2.0-10.0% and W: 2.0-10. A shaft that has either one or both of 0%, the second iron-based outer layer material, the balance of which is Fe and inevitable impurities, is formed using a continuous casting method, and is provided on both sides of the body portion. Some or all of the parts are overlaid by welding.

In the recycled composite roll according to the first and second inventions, the second iron-based outer layer material is further mass%, Ni: 0.2 to 5.0%, Co: 0.2 to 10.0% Nb: 0.2 to 2.0% and Ti: more than 0.2% and preferably any one or more of 0.2% or less.
In the recycled composite roll according to the first and second inventions, the surface of the body portion may be overlaid by welding.
In the recycled composite roll according to the first and second inventions, it is preferable that the machining of the surface of the body portion is performed while leaving a part of the first iron-based outer layer material.

In the used rolling composite roll regeneration method, a repair rolling composite roll welded to a part or all of the surface of the shaft portion provided on both sides of the body portion is used as the used rolling composite roll. It is preferable to use it.
Further, in the recycling method of the used roll composite roll, after mechanically cutting one or both of the shaft portions provided on both sides of the body portion, a new shaft portion is used instead of the mechanically cut shaft portion. It is preferable to use the composite roll for repair rolling connected by welding as the composite roll for used rolling.
And in the reproduction | regenerating method of the composite roll for used rolling which concerns on 1st invention, it is preferable to machine the said axial part connected by this welding to a predetermined dimension.

First, in the reproduction composite roll according to the second invention, the dimensions of the reproduction composite roll of reproducing is preferably the same as in the previous dimensions using the spent rolling composite roll.

In the recycled composite roll according to the first and second inventions, when the second iron-based outer layer material is cast on the first iron-based outer layer material remaining in the body portion of the recycled composite roll, It is preferable that both materials are mixed.

The recycled composite roll according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the surface of the body portion of the composite roll for used rolling is machined to expose the base, and the second iron-based outer layer material is continuously cast around it. Therefore, it is not necessary to procure a new core material as in the prior art, and the processing can be minimized. For this reason, a high performance recycled composite roll can be manufactured with good yield, a short construction period and at low cost, and has great industrial value.
In addition, since the chemical component of the specified second iron-based outer layer material is an expensive high-speed material, the effect of regenerating and using the used roll composite roll appears more remarkably.

In the recycled composite roll according to claim 5, since the machining of the surface of the body portion is performed leaving a part of the first iron-based outer layer material, the diameter of the core material is not significantly reduced. The amount of erosion at the time of casting (for example, more than 0 and 10 mm or less) is only slightly smaller than the dimensions before use of the composite roll for used rolling. Therefore, reproduction can be repeated. On the other hand, when the machining of the surface of the body portion is not performed leaving the first iron-based outer layer material, the diameter of the core material becomes small. The number of reproductions is not desirable because there is no difference in diameter from the shaft portion, and as a result, casting work cannot be performed.
Therefore, the recycled composite roll can be used as it is in the same place where it was used last time, for example, hot rolling or cold rolling.
Also, by leaving the first iron-based outer layer material on the surface of the core material, it is possible to increase the bonding force compared to the case where the second iron-based outer layer material is directly formed on the surface of the core material, and to improve product quality Can be improved. Furthermore, compared with the case where there is no first iron-based outer layer material, the thickness of the second iron-based outer layer material cast can be reduced, so that the manufacturing cost of the recycled composite roll can be further reduced.

Since the recycled composite roll according to claim 2 is welded on the surface of the shaft portion of the used roll composite roll, for example, even if the shaft portion is partially damaged, only that portion is repaired. Can be reused.
Reproducing composite roll according to claim 1, wherein, after the machine cutting the shaft portion of the spent rolling composite roll, since this and connects by welding a new shank, for example, damage to the entire shank has occurred However, it can be reused just by replacing that part.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for understanding of the present invention.
In the following description, the same numbers are assigned to the used composite rolls for used rolling and the used composite rolls for regenerated composite rolls that have been recovered in order to eliminate the complexity of the description. Yes. Similarly, the first iron-based outer layer material and the second iron-based outer layer material also have the same numbers, although the shapes are different in each manufacturing process.
As shown in FIG. 1, a recycled composite roll (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a “recycled composite roll” or “roll”) 10 manufactured by the method for recycling a used roll composite roll according to an embodiment of the present invention is a core material 11. A used roll composite roll 14 in which a hard first iron-based outer layer material 13 is formed by a conventionally known continuous casting method (also referred to as a continuous casting method) is used for the body portion 12. The surface of the body portion 15 of the finished roll composite roll 14 is machined to expose the base, and the second iron-based outer layer material 16 is formed around the surface using a continuous casting method. This will be described in detail below.

The recycled composite roll 10 is used in the rolling of steel, in particular, in the hot rolling operation and cold rolling operation of a thin plate, steel bar, wire or shape steel, and the dimensions thereof are the same as those of the composite roll 14 for used rolling. The same dimensions as before use (when not in use). In addition, although the dimension of a reproduction | regeneration composite roll can also be made into the small diameter which can be used for an installation, the diameter range to use reduces and is not economical.
The outer diameter (trunk diameter) D of the trunk portion (outer layer) 17 of the recycled composite roll 10 is, for example, 300 to 900 mm, and the width (trunk length) W of the trunk portion 17 is, for example, 1500 to 2500 mm. The total length L including shaft portions (hereinafter also referred to as bearing portions) 18 and 19 provided on both sides of the body portion 17 is, for example, 4000 to 7000 mm.

The used rolling composite roll 14 has a core material 11 made of a steel material (for example, an alloy for mechanical structure such as chromium-molybdenum steel), and on both sides of the body portion 12 of the core material 11. , Shaft portions 18 and 19 are provided. In addition, although the axial parts 18 and 19 are made into different shapes corresponding to an installation, they may be the same shape.
When the shaft portion is hardly damaged in use, the used composite roll for rolling can be used as the used composite roll 14 for rolling as it is without repairing the shaft portion. However, if one or both of the shaft parts, for example, wear, bends, dents, or oxidation partially occurs, or if damage is caused entirely, a repair rolling composite repaired by the following method. The roll is used as a composite roll 14 for used rolling.

When the shaft part is partially damaged, the meat having the same degree of hardness as the material constituting the core material (for example, about Hv 300 to 400, the same shall apply hereinafter) on part or all of the surface of the shaft part The build-up material is welded by submerged arc welding and machined as necessary.
When the shaft portion is totally damaged, the damaged shaft portion is mechanically cut, and then a new shaft portion is connected by welding instead of the mechanically cut shaft portion. In addition, this shaft portion is obtained by joining shaft materials having the same degree of hardness as the material constituting the core material by welding, and then, this shaft material is formed into a final shape (predetermined shape: the shape of the shaft portion of the recycled composite roll as a product). ), The shaft portion machined to the final shape may be joined by welding.

In addition, when the diameter of the core part of the core of the composite roll for used rolling becomes small in the regeneration process, a part of or all of the surface is built up with a hardness comparable to the material constituting the core. Weld the material.
Through the above repair work, the damaged used composite roll for rolling can be returned to a better state and used.
In the recycled composite roll 10, a first iron-based outer layer material 13 having a thickness T1 of, for example, more than 0 and 30 mm or less (preferably 10 mm or less) is formed on the peripheral surface of the body portion 12 of the core material 11. On the peripheral surface of the first iron-based outer layer material 13, a second iron-based outer layer material 16 having a thickness T2 of, for example, 50 mm or more and 150 mm or less is cast. Note that the first iron-based outer layer material 13 and the second iron-based outer layer material 16 are desirably melt-mixed. Further, the second iron-based outer layer material 16 may be directly formed on the peripheral surface of the trunk portion 12 of the core material 11 without using the first iron-based outer layer material 13 described above.

The above-described first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 are in mass%, C: 0.5 to 3.0%, Si: 0.2 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.2 to 2 0.0%, V: 0.5 to 10.0%, Cr: 3.0 to 10.0%, Mo: 2.0 to 10.0%, and W: 2.0 to 10.0 %, And the balance consists of Fe and inevitable impurities.
The first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 are preferably made of hard granular carbides in order to secure wear resistance and improve heat cracking resistance, and mainly use MC type carbides. doing. The crystallization amount of this MC type carbide is an area ratio, and is required to be 5% or more (upper limit is, for example, about 10%) for hot rolling and 1% or more and 5% or less for cold rolling. .
On the other hand, when M ₇ C ₃ type, M ₂ C type and M ₃ C type carbides that crystallize at the same time are small, the effects of the present invention are not impaired, and the wear resistance is ensured. It is effective.

Next, the reason why the chemical components of the first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 are limited will be described.
C (carbon): 0.5 mass% or more and 3.0 mass% or less C is the most important element for obtaining hardness that directly affects the performance of the roll. For this reason, when the amount of C is less than 0.5% by mass, the amount of crystallization of hard carbide effective for improving wear resistance and skin roughness resistance is small, and the amount of C dissolved in the base is insufficient. Even with hardenability, sufficient base hardness cannot be obtained, and the effect of alloy addition cannot be fully exhibited, and the wear resistance is significantly reduced. On the other hand, if it exceeds 3.0% by mass, the amount of crystallization of brittle carbides increases, and especially coarse carbides aggregate and crystallize at the grain boundaries. As a result, the rolled product was damaged and could not be used, so this was made the upper limit.

Si (silicon) and Mn (manganese): 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less, respectively Si and Mn do not characterize the present invention, but both improve the deoxidation effect and the fluidity of the molten metal. For the purpose of the above, an amount of 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less contained in general high speed steel is included. In addition, since the effect is inadequate when less than 0.2 mass%, and exceeds 2.0 mass%, toughness falls, it specified in the above-mentioned range.

V (vanadium): 0.5% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less V is preferentially bonded to C and is added to cementite (Fe ₃ C) and chromium carbide (Cr ₇ C ₃ ) found in conventional rolls. It is an extremely effective element for improving wear resistance by crystallizing and precipitating granular MC type carbide, that is, VC type carbide. The content of V is selected in relation to C.
Here, in the range where C is 0.5% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less (the above-mentioned C: a range including 0.5 to 3.0% by mass), the V amount is less than 0.5% by mass. In this case, the VC type carbide was not crystallized and precipitated, and the wear resistance could not be improved. On the other hand, when it exceeds 10.0 mass%, as described above, a large amount of primary crystal carbides crystallize, and the strength of the material is impaired, and the carbide precipitates at the grain boundaries, and this is chipped off from the roll surface during rolling use. In order to impair the rough skin resistance, this was made the upper limit.

Cr (chromium): 3.0% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less Cr alone is Cr ₇ C ₃ carbide, and is agglomerated and crystallized in a large amount in a network at the grain boundaries. Since it is not generated, it is limited to 10.0% by mass or less. In addition, Cr may form a hard M ₂ C type eutectic carbide together with Mo (molybdenum) and W (tungsten), but it is necessary to limit the amount of crystallization as described later. On the other hand, Cr is a solid solution in the matrix structure, improves the hardness by quenching, and is an element effective for accelerating the precipitation hardening action in tempering. It is necessary to contain 0% by mass or more, and this is set as the lower limit.

Mo (molybdenum): 2.0 mass% or more and 10.0 mass% or less W (tungsten): 2.0 mass% or more and 10.0 mass% or less Mo and W are M ₂ C type eutectic carbides as seeds. It is formed and improves wear resistance, and has been actively used in the past. This carbide crystallizes at the grain boundary in the form of a rod or plate. In this respect, although not as harmful as the above-mentioned Fe ₃ C and Cr ₇ C ₃ which are agglomerated and crystallized, when a plurality of carbides are crystallized densely, it is regarded as a large carbide as a result. Chipped. For this reason, it is desirable to suppress the amount of crystallization to a small amount, and practically, the area ratio in the structure is set to 3% or less.

In the present invention, the M ₂ C type carbide crystallized during casting becomes M ₆ C type carbide through the subsequent heat treatment step. On the other hand, Mo, like Cr, partly dissolves in the matrix structure, improves hardness by quenching, further promotes precipitation hardening in tempering, and W also partially dissolves in matrix structure, When subjected to hot rolling in order to improve the strength and hardness at high temperatures, it has the effect of improving wear resistance. In order to exhibit the effect, it is necessary to contain one or two kinds of Mo of 2.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass and W of 2.0% by mass to 10.0% by mass. In consideration of the amount of the crystallization carbide, the total amount of both elements is desirably 4% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less.

Furthermore, the 1st, 2nd iron-type outer-layer material 13 and 16 are the mass%, Ni: 0.2-5.0%, Co: 0.2-10.0%, Nb: 0.2-2. 0.0% and Ti: more than 0 and 0.2% or less may be included, or one or more of them may be contained.
Ni (nickel): 0.2% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less Ni, when added in an amount of 0.2% by mass or more, has an effect of improving hardenability. When a roll having a large diameter or the like requires a large depth of hardness, it may be added according to the requirement. However, when added in a large amount, the retained austenite becomes excessive and high hardness cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is effective to use in a range of 5.0% by mass or less.

Co (cobalt): 0.2% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less Co is added in an amount of 0.2% by mass or more to improve the hardness and strength of the base under high temperature use. In this case, it is effective to use in the range of 10.0% by mass or less.

Nb (Niobium): 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less Nb generates MC type carbides similarly to V. Therefore, as an alternative element for V, 0.2b% or more and 2.0% by mass or less It is effective to add. The upper limit was set to 2.0 mass% at which MC carbide (NbC) was dispersed and crystallized without segregation due to the addition of Nb, and the lower limit was set to 0.2 mass%, which had practical effects.

Ti (titanium): more than 0 and 0.2% by mass or less Ti produces extremely fine and extremely hard TiC carbides, but also serves as a crystallization nucleus for MC type carbides and promotes dispersion of carbides. It is effective to do. The content is effective even with a small amount, but the practical lower limit is 0.02% by mass. Ti is an extremely strong oxidizing element, and the oxidation product does not remain as inclusion defects in the outer layer material, so the upper limit was set to 0.2% by mass.

The first and second iron-based outer layer materials 13 and 16 shown above may further contain either one or both of Al (aluminum) and Zr (zirconium). When the content is less than or equal to mass%, the same effects as Ti are obtained, and the effects of the present invention are not impaired.
The chemical components constituting the first iron-based outer layer material 13 and the second iron-based outer layer material 16 may be the same or different as long as they are within the above-described chemical components and their content ranges. It may be.

Next, a method for recycling a used roll composite roll according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
First, the used rolling composite roll 14 recovered from the hot rolling facility or the cold rolling facility is annealed (for example, about 600 to 900 ° C.), and the first remaining in the body portion 15 of the used rolling composite roll 14. The iron-based outer layer material 13 is softened.
Here, for example, one or more of visual inspection, penetrating flaw detection method, and ultrasonic flaw detection method are used to confirm that there are no harmful defects on the surface and inside of the collected composite roll 14 for used rolling. To confirm (the first step).

Next, the body 15 of the annealed used composite roll 14 for rolling is machined to expose the metal surface.
At this time, machining is performed on the outer periphery of the body portion 12 of the core material 11 so that the first iron-based outer layer material 13 remains within the range of 0 to 30 mm. In this case, the surface of the first iron-based outer layer material 13 is the above-described exposed metal surface (that is, the base).
In addition, you may perform a machining to the trunk | drum 12 of the core material 11 further. In this case, the surface of the trunk portion 12 of the core material 11 is the above-described exposed metal surface (that is, the base material).
The surface of the trunk | drum 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling can be smoothed by the above machining (2nd process above).

And the 2nd iron-type outer-layer material 16 is formed in the trunk | drum 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling with a conventionally well-known continuous casting method (for example, Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2000-176628). Briefly, the molten metal composed of the chemical components described above is injected into the gap between the fireproof frame and the body portion 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling to perform induction heating, and then provided below the fireproof frame. The molten iron is solidified in a water-cooled mold to form the second iron-based outer layer material 16, and the integrated second iron-based outer layer material 16 and the used composite roll 14 for rolling are sequentially drawn downward to produce a roll. To do.
Conventionally, every time a composite roll for rolling is manufactured, a forged steel core material is newly procured and used, so that the processing takes time, and it takes a long time to procure. On the other hand, in this invention, since the roll is regenerated using the composite roll 14 for used rolling having the core material 11 made of forged steel, the time until procurement becomes unnecessary.

As a result, it is possible to supply the high-performance recycled composite roll 10 at a low cost and in a short construction period.
In particular, by casting the second iron-based outer layer material 16 in a state in which all or part of the first iron-based outer layer material 13 is left on the surface of the body portion 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling, The following advantages are obtained.
Since the first iron-based outer layer material 13 has a low melting point, at the time of cast casting, the first iron-based outer layer material 13 remaining on the surface of the body portion 15 of the composite roll 14 for used rolling melts, and the second The iron-based outer layer material 16 can be easily welded to the core material 11 via the first iron-based outer layer material 13, and a healthy boundary layer that is difficult to peel off can be formed.
In addition, this makes it possible to repeatedly regenerate and use the roll without excessively increasing the thickness of the second iron-based outer layer material 16, and to reduce variations in product quality produced by rolling (above) , Third step).

By the method described above, the used rolling composite roll 14 on which the second iron-based outer layer material 16 is formed is annealed (for example, about 600 to 900 ° C.) (the fourth step).
And the build-up which has the hardness comparable as the material which comprises the core material 11 in the worn part, the bent part, the recessed part, or the oxidized part of the axial part of the processed composite roll 14 for used rolling Weld the material. At this time, if the shaft portion is totally damaged, after mechanically cutting the damaged shaft portion, a new shaft member is connected by welding instead of the machine-cut shaft portion, and this shaft member is further connected. Is machined to final shape dimensions.
Further, the body portion of the composite roll 14 for used rolling may be welded here.
In addition, about the welding overlay of the axial part and trunk | drum of the composite roll 14 for used rolling, you may perform in another process, without restricting to this process (above, 5th process).
Next, the composite roll 14 for welding rolling that has been welded is machined into a predetermined shape, that is, a shape that is several percent larger than the final product, to produce a recycled intermediate roll (the sixth step). .
And the heat processing shown below is given with respect to this reproduction | regeneration intermediate | middle roll.

First, after cast casting, the entire regenerated intermediate roll is heated to, for example, 750 ° C. or higher in a heat treatment furnace and held for a certain period of time, then cooled in the furnace or in the atmosphere and annealed to remove casting stress. The second iron-based outer layer material 16 is softened to facilitate processing.
Thereafter, the surface of the cast-in part and the unstable part of the structure at both ends are machined, and the entire regenerated intermediate roll or the body is heated to 900 ° C. or higher and 1100 ° C. or lower and held for a certain time. And after quenching by cooling to near normal temperature by air, blast, or air-water spray, the base is made hard martensite or bainite, and it is 500 ° C or higher and 600 ° C or lower once or twice or more. Tempering is performed, and the Shore hardness (HS) is set to 70-100.
In addition, when performing the above-described casting and heat treatment, deformation and high-temperature oxidation of the surface occur in the shaft portions 18 and 19.

Therefore, the welding build-up performed in the fifth step described above is performed on the whole or a part of the shaft portions 18 and 19 during or after either one or both of the sixth step and the seventh step, Ensure shape restoration and strength. Here, by performing the above-described build-up welding before quenching or before tempering, residual stress due to build-up welding can be removed by a heat treatment performed thereafter.
By adopting this method, the degree of freedom of selection of usable build-up welding materials is expanded, so that the positions of the bearing portions 20 and 21 of the shaft portions 18 and 19 and the end portion of the drive-side shaft portion 19 are particularly high. The wear damage of the wobbler portion (portion inserted into the drive system coupling) 22 can be reduced, and the strength can be improved if necessary.
The annealing and quenching are usually performed by heating the entire regenerated intermediate roll, but a method of heating only the body portion, for example, induction heating method can also be adopted. This is desirable from the viewpoint of less deformation and oxidation of the shaft (the seventh step).

The recycled intermediate roll heat-treated by the above-described method is finished into a final shape (product shape) by machining to obtain a recycled composite roll 10 (the eighth step).
In addition, after the casting casting shown above, after the pre-quenching process, and when the recycled composite roll 10 is completed, any one or more of the above-described visual inspection, penetration flaw detection method, and ultrasonic flaw detection method is used. After confirming that, the produced recycled composite roll 10 is used.

Next, examples carried out for confirming the effects of the present invention will be described.
Here, a roll for a finish rolling mill (recycled composite roll) used for hot sheet continuous rolling (hot strip mill) having a trunk diameter of 620 mm, a trunk length of 1850 mm, and a total length of 4573 mm was manufactured. In the production of a roll for a finish rolling mill, the core material shown in Table 1 and the second iron-based outer layer material having a chemical component (high-speed type) shown in Table 1 are used, and shown in Table 1 by a continuous casting method. Casting was performed at a casting speed, and a part or the whole of the shaft portion was subjected to machining (machining to a small size), welded joint, or overlay welding. This will be specifically described below.

Example 1 shown in Table 1 is a recycled composite roll 30 shown in FIG.
This recycled composite roll 30 is the first iron remaining in the used composite roll for rolling (dotted line in FIG. 2) having a trunk diameter: 660 mm (discarded trunk diameter: 575 mm), trunk length: 1940 mm, and total length: 5600 mm. The entire outer layer material is removed, and the second iron-based outer layer material 33 is welded to the outer peripheral surface of the core portion 32 of the core material with a further reduced size by a continuous casting method. Finally, the shaft portion 31 is machined.

Examples 2 and 3 are regenerated composite rolls 40 and 50 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively.
The recycled composite rolls 40 and 50 are machined so that the barrel diameters of the barrel portions 42 and 52 are 530 mm using the composite rolls 41 and 51 for used rolling whose barrel diameter is 550 mm. In a state where the first iron-based outer layer materials 43 and 53 having a thickness of more than 0 and 15 mm or less remain in the portions 42 and 52, the second iron-based outer layer materials 44 and 54 are continuously cast on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Welded. The first iron-based outer layer material and the second iron-based outer layer material are both within the chemical component range of the present invention.
The shaft portions 45 and 46 provided on both sides of the recycled composite roll 40 of Example 2 were subjected to overlay welding of the Hv350 level overlay material by the submerged arc method before tempering finally performed. The shape is restored to the unused state (shaded portion in FIG. 3). This is because the shaft portion is deformed and oxidized, and its diameter is reduced.

Further, the bearing portion 56 of the non-driving side shaft portion 55 provided on one side of the reproduction composite roll 50 of the third embodiment and the driving side shaft portion 57 provided on the other driving side are also the same as those of the above-described second embodiment. For the same reason as the recycled composite roll 40, its shape is restored to the unused state (shaded area in FIG. 4). In addition, with respect to the regenerative composite roll 50 of Example 3, after further cutting the portion of the non-driving side shaft portion 55 having a small diameter (thrust bearing portion on the front side of the bearing portion), a new shaft material 58 is used as a bearing. The part 56 is joined by welding, and finally the shape is restored by machining.

On the other hand, the conventional example is a composite roll for rolling 60 shown in FIG.
This composite roll 60 for rolling uses an unused forged steel core material 61 obtained by machining a forged steel material, and a second iron-based outer layer material is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the body 63 of the forged steel core material 61. 64 is welded by a continuous casting method. The shaft portion 62 is finally machined.
Table 2 shows various manufacturing conditions and test results of the above-described conventional example and Examples 1 to 3.

In all of Examples 1 to 3, the casting speed in the continuous casting method was 1.5 times that of the conventional example, which was 22.5 mm / min, but the second iron-based outer layer material was used. The boundary between the surface of the used composite roll for rolling and the second ferrous outer layer material was welded to the composite roll for rolling. In addition, it annealed immediately after casting, the body part of the roll was machined, and the quenching tempering process was performed. This final tempering was performed at 550 ° C., and the residual stress in the weld was removed before use.
As a result, the performance of the second iron-based outer layer material of Examples 1 to 3, that is, the wear resistance and the rough skin resistance, both obtained results equal to or better than those of the conventional examples, and the strength sufficiently withstands use. I was able to confirm that.
From the above, the use of composite rolls for used rolling eliminates the core material procurement period, which previously required time, significantly shortens the work period, and reduces the cost of new core material purchase. It has been confirmed that the manufacturing cost of the composite roll for rolling can be reduced.
