| Summary: | This paper outlines the main actions taken to reinforce the decision to use HSS work rolls on the Aperam Steckel
Mill. These are: work roll cooling improvements, systematically analyzing Eddy Current and Ultrasonic non destructive
tests, mechanical adjustment of work roll crown and critically examining the rolling process. These actions applied
together have contributed to the success of HSS rolls state of the art application, and provide the Steckel Mill with a
much improved performance. Significant results have been achieved, such as: increasing of work roll change intervals,
increasing of the available production time, a yield gain, a product quality improvement, less working hours needed for
the roll grinding operation, etc |
