Description

  The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the spalling resistance of a steel material used for a work roll used for skin pass rolling of a zinc-based plated steel sheet (steel for work pass rolling for a skin pass rolling of a zinc-based plated steel sheet).

  In the continuous hot dip galvanizing production line (CGL), in order to improve the mechanical properties of the plated steel sheet, skin pass rolling under light pressure is performed after plating. Further, on the exit side of the electroplating line (EGL), skin pass rolling may be performed to adjust the flatness and surface properties of the plated steel sheet. By the way, the work roll for skin pass rolling of zinc-based plated steel sheets such as zinc, zinc-aluminum alloy, zinc-nickel alloy, zinc-iron alloy (hereinafter referred to as “work roll” as appropriate) is zinc-based plated during skin pass rolling. In order to prevent adhesion of the zinc-based powder generated from the steel plate, the adhesion of zinc-based powder is prevented and the zinc-based powder is removed by spraying water for lubrication onto the surface of the work roll.

In general, skin pass rolling imparts a light reduction (rolling rate of 0.5 to 2%) to a steel sheet with a rolling load of approximately 700 tons or less. In addition, the work roll is manufactured by a process of melting, heating, forging, annealing, outer diameter turning, quenching, finishing turning and polishing, and a forged steel quenching roll that is dulled on the user side is used. cage, recombination is carried out approximately 10 ⁶ times as usage limit. Then, the used work roll is reused after being subjected to surface grinding and dull processing.

On the surface of the work roll used under such manufacturing conditions and conditions exposed to lubricating water, fine blistering scratches, fine pit scratches from which the blistering flaw surface was peeled off, and these as the starting point Fatigue cracks are likely to occur. Then, it is known that these progress to the inside, and eventually a brittle fracture phenomenon called spalling occurs in the work roll. In addition, when the zinc-based plating powder comes into contact with the work roll in a water-lubricated environment during skin pass, the metal roll comes into contact with the work roll, which causes corrosion of the work roll (cathode: 2H ⁺ + 2e ⁻ → H + H, anode reaction: Zn → Zn ²⁺ + 2e ⁻ ), and hydrogen generated by this corrosion is known to enter the roll.

  That is, hydrogen generated by contact with different metals accumulates at the tip of the fine crack due to blistering scratches generated on the surface of the work roll during use of the actual machine and contact / shear stress applied to the work roll during skin pass. Here, since the surface of the work roll has a very hard martensite structure (Hv 800 or more) by quenching, hydrogen embrittlement is considered to occur due to tensile stress generated at the tip of the microcrack and accumulated hydrogen. It is done. It is known that the spalling is accelerated by overlapping these factors.

  From the above, until now, the manufacturing method (adjusting the tempering temperature and sub-zero treatment reduces the retained austenite in the work roll and improves the rolling fatigue resistance), surface hardness (if it is too hard, the hydrogen embrittlement resistance property Has been developed, and steel for work rolls with excellent spalling resistance has been developed from the viewpoints of the component composition (generates carbonitride precipitates that can become hydrogen trap sites in the work roll). Steel for work rolls and work rolls with high poling properties are manufactured. As described above, with regard to work roll steel that has been improved from the viewpoint of manufacturing method, surface hardness, and component composition, the spalling resistance of the steel made of the work roll steel can be easily, rapidly, and highly sensitive. There is a need for an evaluation method.

  Therefore, as a conventional method for evaluating the spalling resistance of steel for work rolls, for example, in the method described in Patent Document 1, in order to evaluate the spalling resistance (hydrogen embrittlement resistance) of the work roll material, the outer diameter is 8 mm. A test piece having a length of 100 mm, a bottom neck notch bottom outer diameter of 6 mm, and a neck bottom notch tip radius of 1 mm was brought into contact with a zinc plate in water to introduce hydrogen into the steel, and a load rate of 5 ton / min. The hydrogen embrittlement resistance of steel for work rolls is evaluated by comparison with the notched bottom nominal fracture strength when the steel sheet is fractured with a zinc plate in the air and water.

Further, in the method described in Patent Document 2, in a dumbbell-shaped test piece having a length of 150 mm, a distance between marked lines of 10 mm, a cross-sectional diameter of the gripping part of 8 mm, and a cross-sectional diameter of 4 mm of the central thin part, other than the central thin part After galvanizing and dipping in water for 14 days, an SSRT test is performed to evaluate the spalling resistance.

However, the conventional methods for evaluating the spalling resistance of steel for work rolls have the following problems.
In the method described in Patent Document 1, it takes a long time (at least several days to about one week is necessary) to introduce hydrogen into steel, and there is a problem that rapid evaluation cannot be performed. Moreover, since the load speed is too high (it is estimated that the fracture occurred in several minutes in the examples), hydrogen diffusion and accumulation due to stress occurring in the steel for work rolls are not considered at all. Furthermore, the method of applying stress to the test piece is simple tension, and the effects of rolling fatigue, microcracking, and crack propagation caused by the contact between the work roll and the galvanized steel sheet due to the rotation of the roll cannot be considered at all. .

  The method described in Patent Document 2 has a problem that rapid evaluation cannot be performed because it takes 14 days to introduce hydrogen in advance. In addition, the method of applying stress to the test piece is simple tension, and the phenomenon of cracking due to the occurrence of minute cracks can be reproduced. However, in this method, since tensile stress is always applied, It is conceivable that it will break. For this reason, the effects of rolling fatigue, microcracking, and crack propagation caused by contact between the work roll and the galvanized steel sheet due to roll rotation cannot be considered.

  As described above, with respect to a method for quickly and simply evaluating spalling resistance, in the conventional technique, a technique for quickly and easily introducing hydrogen into steel, or during skin pass rolling of a galvanized steel sheet. There is no technology that takes into account the rolling fatigue that occurs, the fine scratches and blisters that occur on the work roll surface, the occurrence of cracks, and the hydrogen diffusion and accumulation due to stress.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to quickly and easily introduce hydrogen into the steel, thereby improving the resistance of the steel material used for the work roll for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for quickly and easily evaluating the spalling property. It is another object of the present invention to provide a spalling resistance evaluation method that takes into account the effects of dynamic fatigue, microcracking and crack propagation that occur during skin-pass rolling of galvanized steel sheets, and hydrogen diffusion and accumulation due to stress.

The inventors of the present application conducted intensive research on a method for quickly and easily evaluating the spalling resistance of a steel for a work roll for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling. As described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, in the prior art, in order to evaluate the spalling resistance of steel for work rolls (precisely, hydrogen brittleness resistance evaluated in the prior art) As a method of introducing hydrogen into water, hydrogen generated by dissimilar contact corrosion between the evaluated steel and zinc in the water (anode reaction: Zn → Zn ²⁺ 2e ⁻ , cathode reaction: 2H ⁺ + 2e ⁻ → H ₂ ) The method to introduce is taken. However, it takes a very long time to introduce hydrogen into steel by contact between steel (steel) and zinc, and then it takes a very long time to start the test to evaluate the spalling resistance of the steel. After that, there was a problem that the test time was required again. Therefore, in the present invention, focusing on the electrochemical reaction when the steel material and zinc are in contact with each other, by using a power supply device to forcibly apply a potential corresponding to the natural potential of zinc to the steel material, It has been found that the electrochemical reaction with zinc can be simulated, and hydrogen can be introduced into steel quickly and easily. And it discovered that the spalling resistance about the steel for work rolls for galvanized steel plate skin pass rolling can be evaluated quickly and easily by giving a load to the steel material in which hydrogen was introduced and generating a crack.

That is, the method for evaluating the spalling resistance of a steel material according to the present invention is a method for evaluating the spalling resistance of a steel material used for a work roll for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling, and is saturated in the steel material in a solution containing an electrolyte. Applying a potential of -1000 to -1300 mV with respect to the calomel electrode (SCE), bringing a member into contact with the steel material, and causing the steel material to move relative to each other, thereby applying a load to the steel material and generating cracks in the steel material The spalling resistance of the steel material is evaluated by measuring the time until the crack is generated.

According to such an evaluation method, in a solution containing an electrolyte, by applying a predetermined potential to a steel material that is a test piece, an environment in which the work roll and zinc are in contact with water for lubrication can be quickly and It can be faithfully simulated, and hydrogen is introduced (occluded) into the steel quickly and easily. And, by applying a load to the steel material introduced with hydrogen and generating cracks, and measuring the time until the cracks occur in the steel material, the steel for work rolls for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling can be quickly and easily performed. Is evaluated for spalling resistance.
In addition, the contact frequency between the arbitrary point on the surface of the work roll body and the zinc-based plated steel sheet during skin pass rolling of the zinc-based plated steel sheet is simulated by bringing the member into contact with the steel material and causing the steel material to relatively move. It is possible to simulate rolling fatigue generated during skin pass rolling of a galvanized steel sheet, generation of minute cracks resulting from rolling fatigue, crack propagation, and hydrogen diffusion and accumulation due to stress.

Moreover, the spalling resistance evaluation method for a steel material according to the present invention is to apply a load to the steel material while further applying the potential after applying the potential to the steel material for T seconds or more. T = C ² / D (provided that C: 1/2 (cm) of the thickness of the test portion of the steel material, D: hydrogen diffusion coefficient (cm ² / s) of the steel material).

  According to such an evaluation method, by applying a predetermined potential to the steel material for a predetermined time in advance before applying the load to the steel material, the hydrogen concentration in the steel material is made uniform at the time when the load starts to be applied. . In addition to this, a further rapid evaluation can be performed by applying a load to the steel material while further applying the potential.

Moreover, the spalling resistance evaluation method for a steel material according to the present invention is characterized in that the steel material is subjected to relative motion by applying a vibration of a frequency of 10 ⁻² to 10 ¹ Hz to the steel material.
According to such an evaluation method, it is possible to easily cause relative motion by giving vibrations of a predetermined frequency to the steel material, and also to cause the rolling caused by the contact between the work roll and the galvanized steel sheet due to the rotation of the roll. The phenomena of dynamic fatigue, microcracking, and crack propagation are promoted, and cracks are generated more quickly in steel.

Moreover, the spalling resistance evaluation method for a steel material according to the present invention is characterized in that the member is brought into contact with the steel material at a pressure of 980 MPa or more.
According to such an evaluation method, by applying a load to the steel material at a predetermined pressure, the influence of the pressure generated on the work roll during skin pass rolling of the galvanized steel sheet can be more accurately reproduced.

Moreover, the spalling resistance evaluation method for steel according to the present invention is characterized in that the member has a plurality of square-shaped portions at a tip, and the square-shaped portions are brought into contact with the steel material.
According to such an evaluation method, the concentration of strain on the part (contact part) where the steel material and the side part of the square-shaped part contact each other is repeated by the side parts of the plurality of square-shaped parts, Occurs more quickly.

According to the present invention, by introducing hydrogen into steel quickly and simply, the work roll spalling generation mechanism at the time of skin pass rolling of the zinc-based plated steel sheet can be easily simulated, and zinc-based plating is achieved. The spalling resistance of steel for work rolls for steel plate skin pass rolling can be evaluated quickly and easily.
Furthermore, considering the effects of dynamic fatigue, microcracking and crack propagation that occur during skin pass rolling of galvanized steel sheets, hydrogen diffusion and accumulation due to stress, the resistance to work roll steel for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling. The spalling property can be evaluated.

Next, the method for evaluating the spalling resistance of a steel material according to the present invention will be described in detail.
The steel material spalling resistance evaluation method (hereinafter referred to as “spalling resistance evaluation method” as appropriate) is a steel material spalling resistance evaluation method used for a work roll for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling. And applying a predetermined potential to the steel material (hereinafter, referred to as “test piece” as appropriate), causing the steel material to crack by causing a crack in the steel material, and the time until the crack occurs. Measure.

As the solution containing the electrolyte, any test solution may be used as long as it is close to neutrality (about pH 6 to 8) and has conductivity. For example, an NaCl aqueous solution, an MgCl ₂ aqueous solution, and the like can be mentioned. From the viewpoint that the conductivity of the test solution is increased, the neutral environment is shown, and it can be used more easily, an NaCl aqueous solution of about 0.01 to 10% is used. Is preferred. For example, a 3% NaCl aqueous solution can be used.

The potential applied to the steel material (test piece) is -1000 to -1300 mV based on the saturated calomel electrode (SCE).
The hydrogen intrusion into the work roll that occurs during skin-pass rolling of the galvanized steel sheet comes into contact with the steel sheet (work roll body) and the zinc-based plating powder in the lubricating water covering the work roll surface and the surface of the galvanized steel sheet. This is due to the occurrence of different metal contact corrosion. Therefore, hydrogen may be introduced into the test piece by applying a potential of about −500 to −900 mV (standard hydrogen electrode; SHE) in consideration of the natural potential of zinc in the lubricating water.

  Note that the potential in this range is a potential based on SHE, but the applied potential may be converted to the potential range of the reference electrode to be used. As a reference electrode, a saturated calomel electrode (SCE, approximately + 241mV), a silver-silver chloride electrode (approximately + 199mV), a mercury-mercurous salfate (mercury-mercurous salfate) electrode; about +615 mV) may be used as appropriate. For reference potentials (V vs. NHE) of various reference electrodes, refer to “Akira Fujishima, Masuo Aizawa, Toru Inoue Electrochemical Measurement Method (1984) Gihodo Publishing”.

  Here, the applied potential is converted to a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) standard and is set to −1000 to −1300 mV. When the potential is less than −1000 mV, hydrogen cannot be sufficiently introduced into the test piece, and hydrogen intrusion into the work roll that occurs during skin pass rolling of the galvanized steel sheet cannot be simulated. On the other hand, when it exceeds -1300 mV, a large amount of hydrogen is generated on the surface of the test piece, and hydrogen excessively and suddenly enters the test piece, simulating hydrogen intrusion into the work roll that occurs during skin pass rolling of the galvanized steel sheet. Cannot be evaluated and cannot be evaluated accurately.

Regarding the potential, the potential may be applied before the test, or a load may be applied to the test piece while applying the potential, but from the viewpoint of conducting the test more quickly, the potential is applied to the test piece while applying the potential. However, it is preferable to apply a load. In addition, in order to eliminate the non-uniformity of the hydrogen concentration in the test piece and perform the test quickly, the potential in the above range was applied for a predetermined time (T seconds) or more as a test piece (steel material) pretreatment before the test. Thereafter, it is preferable to apply a load to the steel material while further applying a potential. In addition, what is necessary is just to set it as the time which the hydrogen in steel in a test piece test part can equalize about time to apply an electric potential before a test. In general, it is known that the hydrogen transfer rate in steel depends on the hydrogen diffusion coefficient D (cm ² / s), and a constant potential is applied for a time longer than sufficient time for hydrogen to diffuse in the test piece test section. do it. In addition, a test piece test part here means the site | part which makes a test piece contact a member (square shape part), a crack is generated, and evaluates spalling resistance.

Specifically, taking into account the thickness of the test piece test part (steel material test part) and the hydrogen diffusion coefficient of the test piece (steel material), ½ of the test piece test part thickness is C (cm) When a hydrogen diffusion coefficient is D (cm ² / s), a constant potential may be applied for a time equal to or longer than “T = C ² / D (sec)”. In addition, this formula is based on the hydrogen diffusion coefficient in the steel material: D (cm ² / s), 1/2 of the thickness of the test piece test part: C (cm), and the time required for hydrogen diffusion in the steel material: T Estimated seconds. Although the specific time depends on the thickness of the test piece, generally, the hydrogen diffusion coefficient D of martensitic steel is about 1.0 × 10 ⁻⁵ to 10 ⁻⁶ , and thus the plate thickness is 0.2 cm. In this case, the hydrogen concentration in the test material can be made uniform if the thickness is about 0.28 to 2.8 hr or more, and if the plate thickness is 0.4 cm, the thickness is about 1.1 to 11 hr or more.

  As a method for applying a load to the test piece, it is preferable to bring a member (hereinafter, referred to as “partner material” as appropriate) into contact with a steel material (test piece) to cause relative movement of the test piece. By this method, it is possible to simulate the contact frequency between any point on the surface of the work roll body and the zinc-based plated steel sheet during skin pass rolling of the zinc-based plated steel sheet, rolling fatigue, microcracking, crack propagation In addition, hydrogen diffusion and accumulation due to stress can be simulated.

  The member to be brought into contact with the test piece (the counterpart material) is preferably a material having a Vickers hardness within ± 20% of the test piece. When a material whose hardness is significantly different from that of the test piece is used as the mating material, cracks due to the contact between the test piece and the mating material are unlikely to occur in the test specimen, and only the wear of the test specimen or the mating material occurs. In some cases, the spalling resistance cannot be evaluated.

Relative motion is preferably performed by applying vibrations having a frequency of 10 ⁻² to 10 ¹ Hz to this steel material (test piece). By giving a vibration of a predetermined frequency to the test piece, the relative movement can be easily performed.

And by making a frequency into 10 ^<-2 > Hz or more, a test piece can be cracked more rapidly and spalling resistance can be evaluated more rapidly. On the other hand, by setting it to 10 ¹ Hz or less, it is possible to prevent the test piece from breaking in a short time starting from coarse inclusions in the steel, and more accurate evaluation can be performed.

The frequency to be applied may be appropriately selected within the above range, but is preferably 10 ⁻¹ Hz or more (more preferably 5 × 10 ⁻¹ Hz or more) from the viewpoint of early testing. In addition, what is necessary is just to use a general fatigue testing machine in order to provide a frequency with respect to a test piece. Further, the application of vibration at this frequency may be performed after bringing the counterpart material into contact with the test piece, or the vibration may be applied in advance before contacting.

The member (the counterpart material) is preferably brought into contact with the steel material (test piece) at a pressure of 980 MPa or more.
By pressing the mating material against the test piece test part with a contact force of 980 MPa or more, it is possible to more accurately reproduce the influence of the pressure generated on the work roll during skin pass rolling in the zinc-based plated steel sheet. Even when the contact force is less than 980 MPa, rolling fatigue, microcracking, and crack growth occur due to relative movement while the specimen and the mating material are in contact, but these are unlikely to occur depending on conditions Therefore, the contact force is preferably 980 MPa or more. In order to further promote the phenomenon of rolling fatigue, microcrack generation, and crack propagation caused by contact between the work roll and the galvanized steel sheet due to the rotation of the roll, it is preferably 1030 MPa or more, more preferably 1080 MPa or more. To do. In consideration of more accurate reproduction of the effect of pressure, the upper limit is preferably about 1500 MPa.

It is preferable that the member (the counterpart material) has a shape having a plurality of square portions at the tip, and the steel portion (test piece) is brought into contact with the square portion. In addition, a square shape part here means the square-column-shaped site | part provided in the front-end | tip of the other party material. Moreover, the other party main body should just be quadrangular prism shape (bar shape).
Here, with reference to FIG. 1 (a)-(c), the shape of the front-end | tip of a counterpart material and the contact state of a test piece and a counterpart material are demonstrated. In FIG. 1, at the tip of the mating member, a round shape portion in FIG. 1 (a), one square shape portion in (b), and a plurality (here, two) square shape portions in (c). It is supposed to have.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, when the round part 3 is provided at the tip of the counterpart material 2 (when the tip of the counterpart material 2 is round), the test piece 1 and the counterpart material 2 are only at one point. As described later, when the test piece 1 moves relative to each other, the stress concentration in the test piece test portion is insufficient, so that the test piece 1 is hardly cracked and the test is difficult to perform efficiently. . Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 (b), when it has one square-shaped part in the front-end | tip of the counterpart material 2, the test piece 1 and the counterpart material 2 are two points (namely, the test piece 1 of the square shape part 4 and Since the load is only applied to the test piece 1 at the two sides of the contact surface), it is difficult to cause cracks in the test piece 1 and it is also difficult to perform the test efficiently. However, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), by forming the tip of the counterpart material 2 into a shape having a plurality of square-shaped portions 4, when the test piece 1 moves relatively, The part of the side of the square-shaped part 4 gives a load several times, and the crack generation in the test piece 1 can be easily (more quickly). In addition, what is necessary is just to provide two or more square shape parts 4 in the front-end | tip of the counterpart material 2. In addition, when the counterpart material 2 moves relative to the test piece test portion, if the side portions of the plurality of square-shaped portions 4 can be loaded multiple times, the direction of the square-shaped portion 4 is tested. You may make it contact a piece test part.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a description will be given of a load applied to the test piece by the angular portion when the test piece is vibrated. As shown in FIG. 2, when vibration of a predetermined frequency is applied to the test piece 1, first, the test piece 1 is finely moved (moved) forward in the longitudinal direction, and the rear side (the left side in the illustrated state). The strain concentrates on the contact portion in the rear side portion of the square-shaped portion 4, and this side portion applies a load to the test piece 1 (test piece test portion). Next, the test piece 1 is finely moved (moved) backward in the longitudinal direction, and distortion is concentrated on the contact portion in the front side portion of the front side (right side in the illustrated state) of the square-shaped portion 4, This portion applies a load to the test piece 1 (test piece test portion). Although not shown, the other two sides of the square-shaped portion 4 (two sides orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the test piece 1) also contact with each other when the test piece 1 moves back and forth (slides). The strain concentrates on the part, and this part applies a load to the test piece test part.

  As described above, the test piece 1 is relatively moved by the vibration of the test piece 1, and the operation in the longitudinal direction is repeated as described above. As a result, the plurality of square-shaped portions 4, that is, the side portions of the plurality of square-shaped portions 4, repeatedly concentrate the strain on the contact portions, respectively, and this side portion applies a load to the test piece test portion a plurality of times. . In this way, it is possible to simulate the contact frequency between an arbitrary point on the surface of the work roll main body and the zinc-based plated steel sheet during skin pass rolling of the zinc-based plated steel sheet. And in the contact part of the test piece 1 and the other party material 2, since the phenomenon of rolling fatigue, the generation | occurrence | production of a micro crack, and a crack progress is accelerated | stimulated, quicker evaluation can be performed.

  Thus, by generating a crack in the test piece (steel material) and measuring the time until the crack is generated, the spalling resistance of the steel material, that is, for a work roll for galvanized steel sheet skin pass rolling. The spalling resistance of steel can be evaluated.

Specifically, for example, with respect to several types of steel materials, the above-described spalling resistance evaluation method is applied under the same conditions to measure the time until cracking occurs. It can be judged that it is excellent.
The “crack” here may be, for example, a crack equivalent to a crack when spalling occurs due to hydrogen intrusion into a steel material, and the occurrence of this crack can be confirmed by visual observation, for example. That's fine.

Although the best embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed without departing from the scope of the present invention.
For example, the steel material to be subjected to the spalling resistance evaluation method may be applied to other steel materials in addition to steel for work rolls for skin-pass rolling of galvanized steel sheets, as long as it does not depart from the gist of the present invention.

  Next, the spalling resistance evaluation method according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.

  50 kg of steel materials having two chemical composition compositions shown in Table 1 whose superior and inferior spalling resistance is known were melted in a vacuum melting furnace, cast to produce an ingot, and then cooled. This ingot was hot forged to produce a round bar having a diameter of 12 mm. The round bar was heated at 930 ° C. for 2 hours to austenite, and then air-cooled. In order to adjust the surface hardness to about 90 (HS) (about 820 (Hv) in terms of Vickers hardness) with respect to the obtained round bar, the specimen was tempered at 110 to 150 ° C. for 2 hours. . In Table 1, the remainder of the chemical component composition is Fe and unavoidable impurities, and those that do not contain a component are indicated by “−”.

FIG. 3 shows an outline of a test apparatus in a state where a test piece is set.
As shown in FIG. 3, the test piece 11 has a dumbbell shape, the length: 150 mm, and the thin part (test piece test part 11 a) of the central part of the test piece 11: 30 mm. In order to effectively make contact with the mating members 12 and 12, the thin-walled portion has a side surface cut into a parallel shape with a thickness of 4 mm. The grip portions 11b and 11b at both ends of the test piece 11 have a circular shape with a diameter of 8 mm at both ends. Screw portions 11c and 11c having a length of about 15 mm are formed on the grip portions 11b and 11b. , 11c, the test piece 11 and the test apparatus 10 are connected (in the drawing, the description of the connection portion is omitted).

  Then, utility holes such as a test piece passage hole 14a, a reference electrode passage hole 14b, and a counter electrode passage hole 14c are formed in the upper lid 13a, a test piece passage hole 14d is formed in the lower cover 13b, and the mating members 12 and 12 are formed in the body portion 13c. A test piece 11 was attached in an acrylic test cell 13 having a pair of counterpart material through holes 14e, 14e through which the test piece was passed, and the following tests were performed.

  The counterpart materials 12 and 12 were brought into contact with the test piece test portion 11a with a predetermined contact force from both parallel surfaces of the test piece test portion 11a through the counterpart material through holes 14e and 14e. Further, a 3% NaCl aqueous solution was prepared as a solution containing an electrolyte and filled in the test cell 13. In addition, a potentiostat / galvanostat (HA-151 manufactured by Hokuto Denko) is used as a device for adjusting the potential applied to the test piece 11 in a solution containing an electrolyte, and a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) is used as the reference electrode 15. A platinum electrode was used as 16. The potentials shown in the following experimental examples are all values based on the saturated calomel electrode, and the hydrogen standard electrode ratio is displayed as −241 mV. In addition, the other materials 12 and 12 use the thing of Vickers hardness 750 (Hv). Except 21 and 22, it had two square-shaped parts. In addition, Experiment No. For No. 2, the method shown in Experimental Example 1, No. 2 was used. 10 and 11 were tested by the method shown in Experimental Example 4. Each experimental example was evaluated for up to one week (168 hours). The crack generation time is an approximate value.

[Experimental Example 1]
In Experimental Example 1, the effect of applying a potential to the test piece was examined.
Experiment No. In No. 1, while applying a potential of −1200 mV (vs. SCE) in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution to the test piece, the counterpart material was brought into contact at 1180 MPa, and the test piece was given an amplitude of frequency 1 × 10 ⁰ Hz. Then, the test time (crack generation time) until the crack was generated was measured. On the other hand, Experiment No. In No. 2, in order to simulate the surface state of the work roll during the skin pass rolling of the zinc-based plated steel sheet, the other material was contacted at 1180 MPa while immersing the galvanized material other than the test part of the test piece in ion-exchanged water. The test time until the crack was generated by applying an amplitude of frequency 1 × 10 ⁰ Hz to the test piece was measured. These results are shown in Table 2.

  As shown in Table 2, in the method of applying the potential of Experiment No. 1, hydrogen can be introduced into the test piece quickly and easily. Then, cracks occur in 16 hours, and the spalling resistance of the steel material can be evaluated quickly. On the other hand, in the method of immersing the galvanized test No. 2 in ion-exchanged water, hydrogen cannot be introduced into the test piece quickly and easily, so one week has passed since the start of the test. No cracks occurred at that time. For this reason, it has been impossible to make a quick and simple evaluation of the spalling resistance by rapidly and simply introducing hydrogen into steel. In addition, in this method, since it takes a long time to introduce hydrogen into the test piece, it can be said that even if the test is continued, cracks when spalling due to hydrogen penetration occurs do not occur for a long time.

[Experiment 2]
In Experimental Example 2, the effect of applying a potential (precharge) before the test was examined.
A potential of -1200 mV (vs. SCE) in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution was applied to the test piece. In No. 3, after applying for 24 hours before the test, measure the test time until cracking occurs by applying an amplitude of 8 × 10 ⁻¹ Hz to the test piece while applying the electric potential and bringing the counterpart material into contact at 1350 MPa. did. On the other hand, Experiment No. In No. 4, no potential was applied before the test, and while the potential was applied immediately after the start of the test, the counterpart material was brought into contact at 1350 MPa, and an amplitude of 8 × 10 ⁻¹ Hz was applied to the test piece until cracking occurred. The test time was measured. These results are shown in Table 3.

As shown in Table 3, Experiment No. In the method of applying a potential before the test of No. 3, Compared to the method of 4 in which no potential was applied before the test, the test time was shortened. This shows that a quicker evaluation is possible.

[Experiment 3]
In Experimental Example 3, the influence of the potential range was examined.
While applying the potential shown in Table 4 in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution to the test piece, the mating material was brought into contact at 1250 MPa, and the test piece was given a frequency of 2 × 10 ⁰ Hz until a crack occurred. Time was measured. These results are shown in Table 4.

  As shown in Table 4, Experiment No. In No. 5, since the applied potential was less than the lower limit of the range of the present invention, hydrogen generation hardly occurred, and it was not possible to simulate the hydrogen intrusion into the work roll that occurred during the skin pass rolling of the galvanized steel sheet. Therefore, cracks did not occur even when the test was conducted for one week. Experiment No. Nos. 6 and 7 show the experiment No. 6 because the applied potential satisfies the scope of the present invention. No. 6 is 60 hours for Steel A, 8 hours for Steel B, Experiment No. No. 7 shows that cracking occurred in steel A for 51 hours and steel B in 8 hours, and the spalling resistance could be evaluated quickly. Experiment No. In No. 8, since the applied potential exceeded the upper limit of the range of the present invention, a large amount of hydrogen was generated on the surface of the steel material, and as a result, hydrogen entered the steel excessively and rapidly. Therefore, both A steel and B steel cracked in 0.5 hours, and the spalling resistance of the steel material could not be accurately evaluated. From this, it can be seen that by making the applied potential within the range of the present invention, hydrogen can be introduced into the test piece accurately, quickly and simply, and the spalling resistance can be evaluated quickly. .

[Experimental Example 4]
In Experimental Example 4, the influence of the stress application method was examined.
While applying a potential of -1200 mV (vs. SCE) to a test piece in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution, the test piece was subjected to stress under the conditions shown in Table 5 by vibration, tension, or bending. And the test time until cracking occurred was measured. These results are shown in Table 5.

  As shown in Table 5, Experiment No. In the stress applying method by vibration No. 9, cracks occurred in 123 hours for steel A and 14 hours for steel B, and it was found that the spalling resistance could be evaluated quickly. On the other hand, Experiment No. In the method of applying stress by tension of 10, the hydrogen could be quickly and easily introduced into the test piece, but both the A steel and the B steel were broken in a short time from the start of the test, It was difficult to accurately evaluate spalling resistance. Experiment No. In the method of applying stress by bending of No. 11, although hydrogen could be quickly and easily introduced into the test piece, no crack was generated even after one week had elapsed from the start of the test. It can be seen that it takes more time to evaluate the spalling resistance than 9.

[Experimental Example 5]
In Experimental Example 5, the influence of frequency was examined.
While applying a potential of −1250 mV (vs. SCE) to the test piece in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution, the mating material was brought into contact at 1400 MPa, and the test piece was given a frequency amplitude as shown in Table 6 to cause a crack. The test time until was measured. These results are shown in Table 6.

  As shown in Table 6, the experiment No. No. 12 was able to introduce hydrogen into the test piece quickly and easily, but the applied frequency was lower than the preferred range, so no cracks occurred even after one week had elapsed since the start of the test. No. Compared to 13 and 14, it can be seen that it takes time to evaluate the spalling resistance. Experiment No. Since No. 13 and 14 are the ranges where the frequency to give is a desirable range, Experiment No. No. 13 is 148 hours for Steel A and 10 hours for Steel B. No. 14 shows that cracking occurred in 10 hours for steel A and 1 hour for steel B, and the spalling resistance could be evaluated quickly. Experiment No. No. 15 was able to quickly and easily introduce hydrogen into the test piece, but because the frequency to be applied was higher than the preferred range, both steel A and steel B originated from coarse inclusions in the steel. As a result, it broke in a short time from the start of the test, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the spalling resistance of the steel material.

[Experimental Example 6]
In Experimental Example 6, the influence of contact force was examined.
While applying a potential of -1200 mV (vs. SCE) to a test piece in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution, the mating member was brought into contact with the contact force shown in Table 7, and the test piece had a frequency of 3 × 10 ⁰ Hz. The test time until cracks were generated by applying an amplitude was measured. These results are shown in Table 7.

  As shown in Table 7, Experiment No. No. 16 was able to quickly and easily introduce hydrogen into the test piece, but because the contact force was lower than the preferred range, cracks did not occur even after 1 week from the start of the test. . It can be seen that it takes more time to evaluate the spalling resistance than 17 and 18. Experiment No. Since Nos. 17 and 18 have a preferable contact force, Experiment No. 17 is 41 hours for Steel A, 4 hours for Steel B, Experiment No. No. 18 shows that cracking occurred in 34 hours for steel A and 4 hours for steel B, and the spalling resistance could be evaluated quickly.

[Experimental Example 7]
In Experimental Example 7, the influence of the tip shape of the counterpart material was examined.
The tip of the counterpart material was made into three shapes as shown in FIG. 1 (the tip was a round-shaped portion, the tip was one square-shaped portion, and the tip was two square-shaped portions). While applying a potential of −1200 mV (vs. SCE) in a 3% NaCl aqueous solution as a test piece, the mating material was brought into contact at 1180 MPa, and the test piece was given a frequency of 1 × 10 ⁰ Hz and cracked. The test time until was measured. These results are shown in Table 8.

  As shown in Table 8, Experiment No. 19 (under the same conditions as in Experiment No. 1), the tip of the mating material has two square-shaped parts. It can be seen that the polling property can be evaluated quickly. On the other hand, Experiment No. No. 20 has a round shaped portion at the tip of the counterpart material. Although No. 21 was a single square-shaped part, hydrogen could be quickly and easily introduced into the test piece, but no cracks occurred even after one week had passed since the start of the test. It can be seen that it takes more time to evaluate the spalling resistance than 19.

From the above results, according to the present invention, hydrogen can be quickly and easily introduced into the test piece, and the spalling resistance of the steel material used for the work roll for galvanized steel plate skin pass rolling can be rapidly increased. It can be said that the evaluation can be easily performed.
Furthermore, it can be said that the spalling resistance can be evaluated more quickly and accurately by using a member, adjusting the relative movement conditions and contact conditions, and defining the shape of the member. .
