Repair Method and Operation Process of Rolling Mill Roll

During the operation of the rolling mill, the roll is easy to be damaged. In order to repair the roll body timely and effectively, it is necessary to judge and analyze from the determination of service life, the identification of crack depth, turning crack and other aspects, so that the rolling mill can return to normal.

Because there is no good method to detect the crack depth of the rolling mill roll, the length of service life can only be judged and determined according to the experience, the type of rolling mill, the type of alloy produced and the roughness of the roll surface. According to the theory, the correct service life should be before the crack depth reaches 3 mm, beyond which the roller surface should be grinded, otherwise it is easy to cause the roller sleeve to burst.

In general, if the crack on the rolling mill roll is open, its depth is deeper than tortoise crack or other microcracks, and the crack width is also larger. Therefore, the longest circumferential crack and the widest crack on the roll surface must be found out correspondingly. Through these cracks, the minimum cutting amount can be determined, and the magnetic particle inspection can be used for crack areas.

In order to ensure the safety, the turning depth of the rolling mill roll needs to add 0.5mm to the crack depth in general, and the roughness of the roll surface after turning shall not be less than 6.3; the surface roughness of the roll surface after grinding shall reach 0.8, which can be compared with the standard block or measured with the roughness detector.


When the defects of the rolling mill roll are turned, magnetic particle inspection shall still be carried out to ensure that all micro-cracks have been eliminated. If there are still micro-cracks, turning is still required. It should be noted that every time the repair is made, the record should be made and kept for the daily backup.

How to Adjust the Roll Gap?

Adjusting roll hole shape and controlling plate shape are mainly based on rolled products. The rolls are supported and held in a fixed position in the rolling mill. Roller bearings have a large workload and vary widely, so a small coefficient of friction is required.

After determining the products rolled by the rolling mill, the line speed of the rolling mill can be basically confirmed. The hardness of the raw material is measurable. The rolling stock of the rolling mill is determined by changing the plastic deformation size.

How to configure the rolls according to the hole process? Generally, the newly installed rolling mill has a running-in process. During the running-in process, the rolls are run at no load, and the running speed is 50%, 65%, 75%, and 85% in stages. Different rolling mills have different materials and specifications for rolls according to different rolling products.

For example, the continuous casting machine and rolling mill has a daily output of 100 tons and a rolling speed of 15-25 m / s. Rough rolling efficiency accounts for 30% -40%, intermediate rolling efficiency accounts for 50% -60%, and rough rolling efficiency reaches 95%. After the rolling mill is installed, the large and small teeth of the reducer and gearbox need to mesh, the rolling speed is too fast, and the torque is enhanced. After the rolling mill runs normally for 30 consecutive days, stop the rolling mill to check the meshing of the large and small gears. When everything is normal, the rolling speed can be increased.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to adjust the rolling speed. In the rolling mill, the rolls are constantly worn during operation. In order to maintain the stable operation of the rolling mill when the rolls are under controllable rolling requirements, the rolls must be repaired in time. In severe cases, the rolls need to be replaced.
