Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to roughening resistance for steel rolling and the like .
It relates to a composite roll comprising an outer layer which is excellent in resistance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A composite roll is one in which a solid inner layer (axial core portion) formed of a tough material is welded to an outer layer which is a layer used for rolling formed of an abrasion resistant material, and an outer layer 1 as shown in FIG. There is an intermediate layer 3 interposed between the inner layer 2 and the inner layer 2. Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, the cylindrical roll is also called a sleeve roll, and is usually fixed to the roll shaft by shrink fitting or the like, assembled, and then used for rolling.

The intermediate layer 3 is formed to prevent mixing of high alloying elements from the outer layer 1 to the inner layer 2 which would occur when the outer layer 1 and the inner layer 2 are directly welded, and to prevent deterioration of the toughness of the inner layer. It is something. Conventionally, as outer layer materials excellent in wear resistance, Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-30382 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-16
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 415, the Cr content is 10 to 2
5% high chromium cast iron and graphite crystallized high chromium cast iron with improved seizure resistance are used.

[0004]

In recent years, rolling conditions have become more severe, and higher wear resistance has been required.
For this reason, as mentioned in the above publication, a total of 2% or less of one or two kinds of Nb and V is added to high chromium cast iron or graphite crystallized high chromium cast iron to form fine carbides as crystal nuclei. As a result, the structure is made finer and denser, and wear resistance is improved. However, in reality, it cannot be said that the demand for improvement in wear resistance is sufficiently satisfied.

On the other hand, in order to significantly improve the wear resistance in steel rolling, it is considered that a large amount of W should be added to the material. However, since the outer layer of the composite roll is mainly cast by centrifugal casting, there is a problem that W is separated due to the difference in specific gravity, segregation occurs in the circumferential direction, and it is difficult to obtain a uniform material. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have specified a composite roll material containing alloy elements such as Cr, Mo, W, and V to strengthen the matrix and to contain high hardness carbide such as VC. Proposed as Japanese Patent Application No. 3-346929.

[0006] However, although this roll material has good wear resistance, an oxidized scale called black scale is likely to be formed thickly on the surface of the roll, and there is a problem of rough skin when the black scale is peeled off. The present invention provides a composite roll for iron and steel rolling or the like while maintaining the properties of the proposed roll material, that is, having excellent wear resistance, and being a uniform material, and further having an outer layer having excellent surface roughening resistance. With the goal.

[0007]

The composite roll of the present invention comprises:
An outer layer and an intermediate layer, and an intermediate layer and an inner layer are welded to each other, and the outer layer has a chemical composition of wt%, C: 0.7 to less than 1.0%, Si: 0.1 to 2.0
%, Mn: 0.1 to 2.0%, Cr: 3.0 to 10.
0%, Mo: 0.1-9.0%, W: 1.5-10.
0%, V, Nb: one or 1.5 to 10.0% in two kinds of total, and the balance substantially superior to Fe Tona Ru particular surface roughening resistance
The intermediate layer is made of high carbon cast steel with a specific composition containing C: 1.0 to 2.5%, and the inner layer is made of flake graphite cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron or graphite steel. Further, in the outer layer component, in addition to the outer layer alloy component,
Al, Ti, Zr: One or more of 0.01 to 0.50%, or B: 0.01 to 0.50% can be contained.

[0008]

The outer layer of the composite roll of the present invention is made of Cr, M
Since a high hardness composite carbide in which o, W, Nb, V, Fe and C are bonded to each other is present in the matrix, the hardness at normal temperature and high temperature is improved, and the wear resistance is dramatically improved. Therefore, in order to secure the same life as that of conventional high chromium cast iron, etc., the outer layer thickness may be as thin as about 80 mm or less in casting thickness, that is, about 80% of the conventional thickness. The amount of outer layer material contained in a large amount can be used in a small amount. Further, like the high chromium cast iron, the outer layer is subjected to quenching heat treatment to impart high hardness. At this time, the outer layer material according to the present invention has a high hardness, and the residual stress is higher than that of high chromium cast iron or the like, but since the outer layer can be thinned,
Residual stress can be kept low and accident resistance can be improved. Further, since the casting thickness can be reduced to about 80 mm or less, rapid solidification can be achieved,
Macro-segregation is less likely to occur, a fine structure is formed, and wear resistance is further improved. On the other hand, even when the outer layer is formed thick, since W having a large mass is suppressed to 10% or less, even if the outer layer is formed by centrifugal force casting in which segregation is relatively likely to occur, macro segregation is unlikely to occur and the structure is uniform. Excellent in performance.

In particular, since the outer layer of the present invention has a low C% of 0.7 to less than 1.0%, the amount of eutectic carbide crystallized at the grain boundaries during final solidification is almost eliminated. Thus is preferentially oxidized in hot rolling, it is easy to increase the mill scale, also cause black scale peeling is also propagation path of heat cracks by repetition of heating and cooling in the hot rolling eutectic carbides (grain boundary carbide It has excellent resistance to rough skin. The eutectic carbide contains elements such as Fe, Mo, W, and V. On the other hand, it is natural that high hardness carbide such as VC and NbC is crystallized also in this component system.

Since the intermediate layer is formed between the outer layer and the inner layer by the high carbon cast steel having a specific composition, it is possible to prevent the high alloying component of the outer layer from being mixed into the inner layer and deteriorating its toughness. . Further, since the boundary portion between the intermediate layer and the inner layer is made of a low alloy, the formation of the carbide layer is suppressed, and the boundary strength can be improved. Further, during the austenite heat treatment of the outer layer, it is possible to prevent the temperature rise of the inner layer, and it is possible to heat only the outer layer to a high temperature of 1100 ° C. or higher while preventing deterioration of the toughness of the inner layer material. Further, in the composition of the intermediate layer of the present invention, since martensitic transformation does not occur during quenching of the outer layer, even if the outer layer is subjected to quenching heat treatment, excessive residual stress does not occur, resulting in excellent accident resistance.

Further, since the inner layer is formed of flake graphite cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron or graphite steel, that is, iron and steel material in which graphite is crystallized, the Young's modulus can be about 19000 kg / mm ² or less, and when overloaded. By flattening the roll, the load can be absorbed and accident resistance can be improved. Further, the low temperature strain relief annealing can reduce the residual stress during the heat treatment of the outer layer. In addition, it has excellent thermal conductivity and hence heat dissipation, and can prevent thermal deformation of the roll during rolling.
Further, since it has good toughness, it can withstand shocking rolling torque.

EXAMPLES First, the reasons for limiting the chemical composition of the wear-resistant cast steel material used for the outer layer of the composite roll of the present invention will be explained. Hereinafter, all the units of the components are% by weight. C: 0.7 to less than 1.0% C combines with Fe, Cr, Mo, V, Nb, and W to form a high hardness composite carbide. In order to form this high-hardness composite carbide, and at the same time, to reduce the eutectic carbide (grain boundary carbide), which easily oxidizes at high temperature and becomes a heat crack propagation path, to make the black skin thin and stable, C % Must be less than 1.0%. On the other hand, when C is less than 0.7%, defects such as pinhole defects and foreign matter biting are likely to occur. Si: 0.1 to 2.0% Since the material of the present invention is a casting alloy, Si is an element necessary for ensuring the melt flowability and is also effective for improving seizure resistance. At the same time, 0.1% of the raw materials used is inevitably contained. However, if it exceeds 2.0%, the toughness is deteriorated, which is not preferable. Mn: 0.1 to 2.0% Mn is an element that increases the hardening ability and forms MnS by combining with S to prevent embrittlement due to S. At the same time, about 0.1% from the raw materials used is unavoidable. Included. But,
When it exceeds 2.0%, toughness is deteriorated, which is not preferable. Cr: 3.0 to 10.0% Cr combines with C together with Fe, Mo, V, Nb, W,
It forms a high hardness composite carbide and contributes to the improvement of wear resistance at high temperatures. Most of them also form a solid solution in the matrix to improve hardenability and wear resistance. If it is less than 3.0%, these effects are small and improvement in wear resistance cannot be expected. On the other hand, 1
If it is contained over 0.0%, the toughness is deteriorated, which is not preferable. Mo: 0.1-9.0% Mo easily combines with C along with Fe, Cr, V, Nb and W to form mainly M ₇ C ₃ type M ₆ C type, M ₂ C type composite carbide. At the same time, most of them form a solid solution in the matrix to increase the room temperature and high temperature hardness and contribute to the improvement of wear resistance.
Mo exhibits its effect when added in a small amount as compared with W. At this time, if it is less than 0.1%, desired wear resistance cannot be obtained, while if it exceeds 9.0%, toughness is deteriorated, which is not preferable. W: 1.5 to 10.0% Similarly, W also easily combines with Fe, Cr, Mo, V, and Nb to form C, and most of them form a solid carbide, and most of them form a solid solution in the matrix at room temperature and high temperature. Increases hardness and contributes to improved wear resistance. If it is less than 1.5%, desired wear resistance cannot be obtained, while if it exceeds 10.0%, toughness is deteriorated and heat crack resistance is deteriorated. Also, it facilitates the generation of macrosegregation during centrifugal casting. Therefore, the content is 10.0% or less. V, Nb: 1.5 to 10.0% in total of one or two kinds V easily binds to C together with Fe, Cr, Mo and W similarly to Nb to form mainly MC type composite carbide. Contributes to improvement of wear resistance by increasing hardness at normal temperature and high temperature.
Further, since this MC type composite carbide is formed in a branch shape in the thickness direction, it suppresses plastic deformation of the matrix and contributes to improvement of mechanical properties and crack resistance. Such effects are unlikely to be exhibited unless 1.5% or more is added alone or in combination of two kinds. However, if the addition amount exceeds 10.0%, the toughness is lowered, and macro segregation is likely to occur during centrifugal casting. Therefore, the content is 10.0% or less.

In the wear resistant cast steel material of the outer layer of the present invention, the balance is formed by Fe and impurities in addition to the above alloy components. still,
P and S are inevitably mixed in from the raw material, but they are desirable because they make the material brittle, so it is preferable that the content be P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.
It is better to keep it below 1%. The wear-resistant cast steel material of the outer layer according to the present invention includes, in addition to the above alloy components, one or more kinds of Al, Ti, and Zr in the following composition ranges, and one containing B. Al, Ti, Zr: 0.01 to 0.50% each Al, Ti, Zr forms an oxide in the molten metal, reduces the oxygen content in the molten metal, and improves the soundness of the product. Since the generated oxide acts as a crystal nucleus, it is effective in refining the solidified structure. If it is less than 0.01%, this effect is not sufficient, while if it exceeds 0.50%, it remains as inclusions, which is not preferable. Incidentally, A
In the present invention, l, Ti, and Zr are mainly added to improve wear resistance by refining the cast structure,
It is not simply added for the purpose of degassing. B: 0.01 to 0.50% B combines with oxygen in the molten metal and exhibits a deoxidizing effect. In addition, the effect of refining the solidified structure with the generated oxide as the core,
Also, it has the effect of increasing the hardenability due to B dissolved in the matrix. In the case of a large-mass casting such as a rolling roll, it may be difficult to increase the cooling temperature, but the increased hardenability makes it easier to obtain a hardened structure. If it is less than 0.01, such effect is not sufficient, while 0.50%
If it exceeds, the material becomes brittle, which is not preferable.

Next, the inner layer material of the composite roll of the present invention will be described. As the inner layer material, a material in which graphite is crystallized for the following reasons, specifically, flake graphite cast iron (abbreviated as FC), spheroidal graphite cast iron (abbreviated as DCI), graphite steel (abbreviated as SGS).
To use. Reason for using graphite crystallized material When rolling is used, an overload condition (for example, biting of two plates) cannot be avoided, but the Young's modulus of the outer layer material is 210.
Since it is as high as 00 to 23000 kg / mm ² , large stress is generated in the outer layer material. Young's modulus of the middle layer is 20,000
~ 23000 kgf / mm ² , but layer thickness is 25 ~ 3
Since the thickness of the inner layer material is relatively thin, about 0 mm, if the Young's modulus of the inner layer material to be composited is low, the load can be absorbed by the inner layer material by flattening the roll during overload. Therefore, lowering the Young's modulus of the inner layer material increases the safety during use. 20
In order to obtain a Young's modulus of less than 000 kg / mm ² , the inner layer material must be crystallized of graphite.
The outer layer material contains a special alloy and is hardened by a secondary tempering phenomenon of tempering, so that the residual stress is generally difficult to remove. Therefore, when the outer layer material is subjected to hardening heat treatment on the composite roll, a compressive stress is generated in the outer layer and a tensile stress is generated in the inner layer due to expansion due to transformation of the outer layer material. If the tensile stress of the inner layer material becomes excessive, the inner layer may be damaged or the intermediate layer or
Fracture occurs at the boundary of the inner layer, leading to roll failure.

In order to prevent the destruction, the composite roll may be subjected to strain relief annealing to release the residual stress of the inner layer material. However, the high temperature strain relief annealing exceeding 600 ° C causes a decrease in the hardness of the outer layer. Therefore, it is necessary to release the residual stress of the inner layer material by low temperature strain relief annealing. For this purpose, the inner layer material is preferably graphite crystallized. In the case of the present invention, the purpose of the low temperature strain relief annealing can be achieved by the tempering heat treatment of the outer layer. Roll is rolled material (1
Heat (around 000 ° C). To prevent thermal deformation of the roll and maintain a predetermined shape, heat radiation must be good. Therefore, the inner layer must have good heat conduction. Therefore, a graphite crystallized material is suitable as the inner layer material.
The roll neck must be strong enough to withstand bending forces and motor torque. Since there is an impact load, toughness is important as well as strength. By crystallizing graphite, toughness can be improved.

Next, the characteristics and preferable composition (unit: wt%) of various inner layer materials forming the inner layer of the composite roll will be described. As described above, the inner layer needs to contain graphite, but when the outer layer and the inner layer are welded, a high alloy component of the outer layer is inevitably mixed. It is necessary to determine the composition in consideration of this point. (1) In the case of FC, FC has good castability and Young's modulus of 10,000 to 150
It is as low as 00 kg / mm ^2, and since the form of graphite is flaky, residual stress can be easily removed and the thermal conductivity is high. Also,
The workability is also good, and when used as the inner layer material of a hollow roll, the inner surface processing is easy. However, the strength is 30 kg
/ Mm ² is the limit, so it is not suitable for composite rolls used under large rolling loads. The solidus of FC having the following composition is 1130 to 1170 ° C.

Preferred composition examples and reasons for limitation are shown below. C: 2.5 to 4.0% C is necessary for crystallizing graphite, and if less than 2.5%, the amount of graphite is small. On the other hand, if it exceeds 4.0%, the amount of graphite becomes excessive and the strength decreases. Si: 0.8 to 2.5% Si acts to promote crystallization of graphite, and if it is less than 0.8%, graphitization is insufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 2.5%, the base becomes brittle. Mn: 0.2-1.5% Mn has the effect of strengthening the matrix and preventing the damage of S. 0.
If it is less than 2%, its action can hardly be expected. on the other hand,
If it exceeds 1.5%, the material becomes brittle. P and S: 0.2% or less, respectively. Since P and S are impure elements, the smaller the better, the better it should be 0.2% or less. Since low-concentration ones have a high cost, it may be unavoidable to contain them in an amount of about 0.01% or more in consideration of economical efficiency. Ni: 3.0% or less Ni is effective for graphitization and strengthening of the matrix, but 3.
If it exceeds 0%, the untransformed structure tends to remain and the strength deteriorates. Cr, Mo: 2.0% or less for each Cr and Mo have a reinforcing effect on the matrix, but if they are too much, they hinder graphitization. In order to strengthen the base, it is desirable to contain 0.1% or more. On the other hand, in order to prevent the inhibition of graphitization, it is necessary to keep the content to 2.0% or less, including the amount mixed from the outer layer. W, V, Nb: 4.0% or less in total These elements are inevitably mixed from the outer layer. W, V, N
b does not have the effect of improving the inner layer material. Therefore, these elements are interpreted as impurities, and up to 4% is allowed as a range that does not deteriorate the mechanical properties of the inner layer material. A on the outer layer
In the case of including l, Ti, Zr, and B, these elements are inevitably mixed in the inner layer through the intermediate layer, but the amount thereof is very small, so there is almost no problem in terms of material.

In addition to the above components, FC is the balance of substantially Fe.
Is formed by. The composition range of the molten metal before welding to the intermediate layer, that is, before casting is exemplified below. The molten metal composition is determined in consideration of the mixing amount of the components from the intermediate layer so that the above-mentioned inner layer composition is obtained after welding. C: 2.5 to 4.0%, Si: 0.8 to 2.5% Mn: 0.2 to 1.5%, P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni: 3.0% or less, Cr: 2.0% or less, Mo: 2.0% or less, balance substantially Fe (2) In the case of DCI, DCI has good castability and Young's modulus of 15000 to 19
It is 000 kg / mm ² and has a large amount of graphite. Furthermore, the form of graphite is spherical, unlike FC, and therefore is excellent in strength and toughness. In addition, the workability is also good. Therefore, it is suitable as an inner layer material. In addition, Japanese Examined Japanese Patent Sho 59-52
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 930 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-53293, after heating and holding in a ferrite / austenite coexistence temperature range (780 to 900 ° C.), 200 to 800
The matrix structure becomes a two-phase mixed structure of ferrite and pearlite by the heat treatment of quenching at ℃ / Hr and making austenite into fine pearlite. This structure is particularly excellent in the effects of crack development and residual stress removal. The heat treatment of the two-phase mixed texture may be performed as a heat treatment before the heat treatment for hardening the outer layer of the composite roll. The solidus of DCI having the following composition is 11
It is 30-1170 degreeC.

Preferred composition examples and reasons for limitation are shown below. C: 2.5 to 4.0%, Si: 1.3 to 3.5%, Mn: 0.2 to 1.5%, P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni : 3.0% or less, Cr: 2.0% or less, Mo: 2.0% or less, W, V, Nb: 4% or less in total, Mg: 0.02-
0.1%, the balance is substantially the same as that of FC because the components other than Fe 2 Si and Mg are limited. Therefore, these two components will be described.

Si is a graphitization promoting element. DCI contains Mg due to spheroidization of graphite. Since Mg is a strong graphitization inhibiting element, 1.3% or more of Si is required to achieve graphitization in the presence of Mg. On the other hand, if it exceeds 3.5%, the matrix becomes brittle and a large amount of ferrite precipitates, resulting in a decrease in strength. Mg has a function of making graphite spherical. To obtain that effect, 0.02% or more is necessary. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.1%, graphitization is hindered and casting defects are likely to occur.

The suitable molten metal composition of DCI before welding to the outer layer is illustrated below. C: 2.5 to 4.0%, Si: 1.3 to 3.5%, Mn: 0.2 to 1.5%, P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni : 3.0% or less, Cr: 2.0% or less, Mo: 2.0% or less, Mg: 0.02 to 0.1%, balance substantially Fe (3) In the case of SGS, SGS has Young's modulus. 17,000 to 20,000 kg / mm
^Since it is as high as ² and the amount of graphite is small, residual stress is relatively difficult to remove. Also, the castability is not very good, and a large feeder or the like is required. However, the strength is 40 kg / m
Since it is excellent at m ² or more and has excellent toughness,
It is most suitable for rolls used under severe operating conditions where a large bender load is applied. In addition, the solidus (S of the following composition
(In the case of GS) is 1170 to 1250 ° C., which is higher than those of FC and DCI, there is an advantage that it is less likely to deteriorate during the austenitizing heat treatment of the outer layer.

Preferred composition examples and reasons for limitation are shown below. C: 1.0 to 2.3%, Si: 0.5 to 3.0%, Mn: 0.2 to 1.5%, P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni : 3.0% or less, Cr: 2.0% or less, Mo: 2.0% or less, W, V, Nb: 4.0% or less in total, and the balance substantially F
Since the reason for limiting the components other than eC and Si is the same as that of FC, these two components will be described.

C is necessary for crystallizing graphite.
If it is less than 1.0%, crystallization of graphite is unlikely to occur. On the other hand, 2.
If it exceeds 3%, the shape of the graphite will collapse and the strength will decrease. S
i is necessary for graphitization. If it is less than 0.5%, crystallization of graphite becomes difficult, while if it exceeds 3.0%, the matrix becomes brittle. A suitable molten metal composition of SGS before being welded to the outer layer is exemplified below.

C: 1.0 to 2.3%, Si: 0.5
-3.0% Mn: 0.2-1.5%, P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni: 3.0% or less, Cr: 2.0% or less, Mo: 2.0% or less, balance substantially Fe Next, the intermediate layer will be described. The intermediate layer is formed for the purpose of reducing the mixing of the alloy components of the outer layer into the inner layer, but the intermediate layer itself also needs strength of about 30 kg / mm ² . If the strength is insufficient, the boundary between the outer layer and the intermediate layer is broken, and the outer layer peels off. Therefore, the intermediate layer needs to be made of a material having high strength even if a large amount of alloying components are mixed from the outer layer. For this reason, a high carbon cast steel (abbreviated as AD) having the following composition is suitable as the intermediate layer material.
Hereinafter, the composition of the intermediate layer material according to the present invention and the reasons for limitation will be shown. C: 1.0 to 2.5% C contributes to the improvement of strength, but if it is less than 1.0%, the freezing point becomes high and the welding tends to be insufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 2.5%, the amount of carbide becomes excessive and the material becomes brittle. Si: 0.2 to 3.5% Si has an action of promoting degassing and an action of improving hot water flowability.
If it is less than 0.2%, such an effect cannot be expected, while 3.
If it exceeds 5%, the material becomes brittle. In the high Si region, N
Crystallization of graphite may be observed in relation to the i content, but there is no problem in terms of material. Mn: 0.2 to 1.5% Mn is limited to the above range for the same reason as the ductile cast iron as the inner layer material. Ni: 4.0% or less Ni acts to strengthen the material. However, if it exceeds 4.0%, the action is saturated and an untransformed structure is apt to occur, resulting in deterioration of strength. Cr, Mo: 4.0% or less Each Cr, Mo has the function of strengthening the material. However, 4.
If it exceeds 0%, the mechanical properties will rather deteriorate. W, V, Nb: 12% or less in total. These elements have almost no effect on improving the material of the intermediate layer, but mixing from the outer layer is inevitable. 12% is allowed as a range that does not deteriorate the mechanical properties of the material of the intermediate layer. When the outer layer contains Al, Ti, Zr, B,
These elements also inevitably enter the intermediate layer. In this case, for the same reason, statistically including these elements, 1
2% or less.

In addition to the above, the component of the intermediate layer material is formed by the balance being substantially Fe. It should be noted that P and S are impurities and should be as small as possible because they make the material brittle. In the present invention, both of them are preferably kept to 0.2% or less like the inner layer material.
In addition, the molten metal composition range before welding to the outer layer is exemplified below. The molten metal composition should be the above intermediate layer composition after welding,
It is determined in consideration of the amount of components mixed from the outer layer.

C: 1.0 to 3.5%, S
i: 0.2 to 3.5%, Mn: 0.2 to 1.5% P: 0.2% or less, S: 0.2% or less, Ni: 4.0% or less, Cr: 4.0 % Or less, Mo: 4.0% or less, and the balance substantially Fe In the present invention, 1.0 to between the outer layer and the inner layer (axial core portion).
Since the intermediate layer of 2.5% C is provided, it is possible to significantly suppress the harmful alloying elements from being mixed into the inner layer from the outer layer to the inner layer during the welding, and the following effects are exhibited.

During the quenching heat treatment of the outer layer, it is preferable to heat the outer layer to 1100 ° C. or higher because of the austenitizing heat treatment. Therefore, the temperature of the inner layer can be easily suppressed to 1100 ° C. or lower by adjusting the amount of heat,
It is possible to prevent melting damage of the inner layer. The concentration of Cr, Mo, W, and V in the intermediate layer increases due to welding with the outer layer, but since these elements are still kept lower than in the outer layer, they are more likely to adhere to the outer layer than when directly welding the outer layer and the inner layer. After welding the intermediate layer, it is better to weld the intermediate layer and the inner layer.
The alloy concentration in the welded portion of the inner layer can be lowered. Therefore, when the intermediate layer is provided, the carbide layer is hard to form at the boundary with the inner layer, and the boundary strength can be improved.

Further, most of the intermediate layer according to the present invention undergoes pearlite transformation during the quenching heat treatment of the roll, and the rest undergoes bainite transformation. The martensitic transformation does not occur, or even if it occurs, it is a very small amount. Therefore, there is no large expansion behavior associated with the martensitic transformation, and the residual stress on the roll is not increased. When a large amount of martensitic transformation occurs, a large compressive residual stress (axial direction) acts on the outer and middle layers, and a large tensile residual stress (axial direction) acts on the inner layer in combination with the martensitic transformation of the outer layer. Lucky, the inner layer is pulled and broken.

In the case of a solid roll, the composite roll of the present invention is usually obtained by centrifugally casting the outer layer and the intermediate layer, and then statically casting the inner layer (axial core portion) inside the outer layer and the intermediate layer. In the case of the sleeve roll, the inner layer is also centrifugally cast after the outer layer and the intermediate layer. FIG. 3 shows a horizontal centrifugal casting apparatus, in which a centrifugal casting mold 4 is rotatably supported by rotating rollers 5 and 5, and molten metal is poured from a weir bowl 6 through a pouring gutter 7 into a mold. 4 is cast. 8 is a sand mold for retaining hot water. To cast a solid composite roll, first, the molten outer layer material is cast into a rotating die 4, and after it is solidified,
The molten intermediate layer material is cast onto the inner peripheral surface of the outer layer 1 to centrifugally cast the intermediate layer 3. After that, a mold 4 having an outer layer 1 and an intermediate layer 3 therein is erected, and an upper mold for forming a shaft core portion is provided at both ends thereof,
The lower mold may be connected in series to form a stationary mold, and the inner layer material molten metal may be cast into the interior thereof. In the horizontal centrifugal casting device,
Since each part of the molten metal cast in the mold moves up and down with each rotation of the mold, there is a change in G, and vibration easily occurs due to eccentricity and scratches of the roller and the mold, and the cast outer layer The components in the molten metal are easy to move. Therefore, when casting a thick outer layer, segregation easily occurs due to the movement of components,
It is preferable to set the solidification start temperature to about + 70 ° C. or lower and cast at a relatively low temperature. However, since the outer layer material according to the present invention is a highly wear resistant material, it is hard to wear and the outer layer may be relatively thin, and the casting thickness is 80 mm (desirably 55 to 70 m).
Since it is rapidly cooled by the mold up to about m), there is almost no risk of segregation even when casting at a temperature higher than the above temperature. still,
The thickness of the outer layer of the product is 50 mm (preferably 25-
40 mm).

FIG. 4 shows a vertical centrifugal casting apparatus,
An upper die 12 and a lower die 13 are provided on the upper and lower ends of the centrifugal force casting die 11.
Are assembled and the mold is concentrically and mechanically fixed to the rotating base 14. Therefore, the outer layer material molten metal 16 cast into the mold through the weir bowl 15 and ascended to and adhered to the inner surface of the mold 11 by the action of the centrifugal force is less susceptible to fluctuations in G and vibration. Therefore, if vertical centrifugal casting is used, segregation is unlikely to occur even when casting a thick outer layer, so casting can be performed at higher temperatures, which is effective in improving workability and preventing casting defects due to the inclusion of foreign matter. Is. Of course, only the centrifugal casting mold 11 may be fixed to the substrate 14, the outer layer and the intermediate layer may be cast, the upper die and the lower die may be assembled, and the shaft core may be statically cast.

The outer layer wear-resistant cast steel material of the present invention is cast as an outer layer of a composite roll, and then the entire roll is heated from the quenching temperature (austenizing temperature) to 400 to 650 ° C. at a cooling rate of 150 ° C./hr or more. By quenching,
A good quenched structure can be obtained. Tempering is 500
It may be carried out once to several times at a temperature of up to 600 ° C. In the outer layer material according to the present invention, Mo, W, V, Nb, etc., which are solid-solved in the matrix during the austenitizing heat treatment, are precipitated as fine carbides by the tempering heat treatment and cause a secondary hardening phenomenon of the tempering. Excel.

As a method for heating the outer layer, a method of heating the entire roll in a heating furnace, a method of arranging an induction heating coil and a number of gas burners around the outer peripheral surface of the outer layer and rapidly heating only the outer layer by these There is. In the former case, it takes time to raise the temperature, a thick oxide film is formed on the outer layer surface, and the yield of the outer layer decreases. Furthermore, in order to avoid melting loss of the inner layer of cast iron material and to heat it, 1100 ° C (preferably 1000 ° C)
The following heating must be stopped, so that it is difficult to sufficiently dissolve the carbide in the matrix, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient hardness even by the subsequent heat treatment. On the other hand, according to the heating method of only the outer layer, the outer layer can be reliably kept at 1100 ° C. or higher and the inner layer can be kept at less than 1100 ° C. together with the formation of the intermediate layer. It is possible to prevent the strength from being reduced due to the coarsening of. Also, since the temperature becomes lower toward the center of the inner layer (axial core), the heat of the outer layer can be released to the inside after heating to the austenitizing temperature, and the cooling rate of the deeper layer of the outer layer can be increased during quenching. it can.

The composite roll of the present invention is particularly suitable for wear resistance of hot rolling rolls, pinch rolls, transport rollers and the like,
It is applied to rolls and rollers that require rough skin resistance. Next, specific examples of the present invention will be described. (1) Centrifugal casting of the molten outer layer materials of Tables 1 and 2 into a die for centrifugal force casting having an inner diameter of 810 mm, followed by centrifugal casting of the molten intermediate layer material of the same table after the outer layer was completely solidified. The outer layer and the intermediate layer were welded. The casting amount is thick and the outer layer is 65 m
m and the intermediate layer 30 mm.

In the examples, the sample No. 1-No. 4 and the comparative example is Sample No. 5 to No. No. 8, which is an example of Japanese Patent Application No. 3-346929, The outer layer material of Conventional Example 9 is a high chromium cast iron material with improved wear resistance.
The unit of composition in the table is% by weight, and the balance is substantially Fe. (2) Wait until the middle layer is completely solidified, stop the rotation of the mold, stand the mold having the outer layer and the middle layer vertically, and connect the upper mold and the lower mold in series at both ends. The molten metal of the inner layer material (shaft core material) shown in the same table was cast inside.

(3) After roughing the cast composite roll, after uniformly preheating the roll of the example to 600 ° C., as shown in FIG. The gas burner 21 was rotatably supported between the gas burners 21 arranged in parallel at a pitch of 250 mm along the axial direction, and the surface of the outer layer was heated while rotating the roll. The heating was stopped when the temperature of the outer layer surface reached 1165 ° C and the temperature of the central portion of the inner layer reached 870 ° C. The time required for heating was 250 minutes. In the case of this example, the temperature near the outer peripheral surface of the inner layer was estimated to be 970 ° C. from the temperature data of heat conduction. On the other hand, the conventional roll was austenitized by holding the whole roll at 1050 ° C. for 5 hours. (4) For the rolls of the examples and comparative examples / conventional examples,
After the heating was stopped, the water was rapidly cooled by spraying water, the surface temperature of the roll was rapidly cooled to 500 ° C., and then allowed to cool to room temperature.

Thereafter, a tempering heat treatment of holding at 550 ° C. for 20 hours was repeated twice. The outer layer surface hardness after the heat treatment was as shown in Table 3 below. From the table, it can be seen that the outer layers of Examples and Comparative Examples have a remarkable improvement in hardness and excellent wear resistance as compared with those of the conventional example. When the oxidized state of the outer layer surface was observed, the thickness of the oxidized layer was remarkably thinner in the example as compared with the conventional example as shown in Table 3.

The following experiments were conducted on the peeling of the black skin and the flaws. 1. High temperature wear test: test piece (φ300 × 50), mating material SS41 (φ290 × 50) 2. Conditions Heating temperature of partner material… 800 ℃ Experiment time ……………… 5 hours Water cooling temperature ………… 40 ℃ 3. Results Test piece surface condition-The test piece surface of the example exhibited a beautiful glossy skin, but the test piece surface of the comparative example showed uneven adhesion and flaws of the black skin, and partial peeling of the black skin Was also seen.

In the conventional example, black skin peeling and flaws were remarkably observed. (5) After finishing the surface of the body, the welding condition was confirmed by an ultrasonic flaw detection test, and it was found that the welding was good for all rolls. Next, when the roll body was cut and the cross section of the outer layer was visually observed, segregation of the components was not observed in any of the rolls. Tables 4 and 5 show the results of analyzing the components in the central portion of the thickness of the intermediate layer and the central portion of the inner layer (axial core portion). From the table, Examples and Comparative Examples
It can be seen that the amount of the high-alloy component in the outer layer mixed in the inner layer is very small in both the conventional examples.

[0046]

As described above, since the outer layer of the composite roll of the present invention is formed of a special cast steel material containing a predetermined amount of Cr, Mo, W, V, and Nb, the presence of these high hardness composite carbides. As a result, wear resistance can be dramatically improved, and macro segregation hardly occurs during casting. In particular, since the outer layer of the present invention has a low C% of 0.7 to less than 1.0%, the amount of eutectic carbide crystallized at the grain boundaries during final solidification is almost eliminated. Therefore, it is preferentially oxidized in hot rolling,
Excellent surface roughening resistance by subtracting the black skin thickened to facilitate also cause black scale peeling with the propagation path of the heat crack by repeated heating and cooling in the hot rolling eutectic carbides (grain boundary carbides) . Moreover, since the intermediate layer is formed of high carbon cast steel of a specific composition, it is possible to significantly reduce the mixing of high alloying components from the outer layer to the inner layer, improve the boundary strength, and prevent martensitic transformation from remaining. It is possible to prevent melting damage and strength reduction of the inner layer during heat treatment for austenitizing the outer layer without increasing stress. Further, since the inner layer is formed of flake graphite cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron or graphite steel, the strength and toughness are good,
Young's modulus can be much lower than that of the outer layer,
When overloaded, it is possible to prevent excessive stress in the outer layer due to flattening of the rolls, and it is excellent in safety and accident resistance. Furthermore, since it has excellent heat dissipation, thermal deformation is unlikely to occur.
