Microstructural Evolution in HSS Work Rolls During Thermal Processing

Materials development for rolling applications has become multidisciplinary, integrating expertise from various fields. ESW adopts this approach in all shell material developments. This article outlines the framework of ongoing activities in high-speed steel (HSS) material development for hot strip mills. A European hot strip mill, R&D institutions and ESW collaborated to enhance HSS material performance, focusing on heat treatment. The project aims to develop a simulation model in Abaqus to identify critical times and predict alternative heat treatment routes. The model, validated with continuous cooling transformation, time-temperature-transformation diagrams and stress measurements, uses thermophysical data and temperature measurements from an instrumented work roll.
