To ensure the formation of a sound shell-core bond interface free of defects between the shell and the core in work rolls used in the finishing stands of hot strip mills, a complete fusion of this interface must be achieved, avoiding excessive mixing of the two components and the formation of hard, fragile microstructures. The shell is made of white cast iron, alloyed with Ni and Cr, and the core is manufactured of grey cast iron spheroidal graphite in a pearlitic matrix. It is thus advisable to inoculate the shell with 0.6 kg/T SiCaMn, as this promotes discontinuity in the carbide network and leads to an increase in the impact toughness of the bond interface. Furthermore, inoculation of the shell with FeSi-La should be avoided, as this inoculant leads to an increase in graphite counts, promoting it with a lamellar morphology at the edge of the bond and hence reducing the impact toughness in this interface. Addition of Mg to the shell has been found to produce an increase in hardness in the regions adjacent to the bond interface.

Work Rolls

Work-rolls manufactured through the Indefinite Chill Double Poured (ICDP) method present an exterior work layer manufactured in a martensitic white cast iron alloyed with 4.5 %Ni, 1.7 %Cr, and 0.7 %Nb (wt.%). In its microstructure, there are abundant carbides of the type M3C and MC, which give high resistance to wear, and graphite particles which improve the service behaviour of the rolls against thermal cycling. The core of the rolls is manufactured in grey cast iron of pearlitic matrix and spheroidal graphite. These work-rolls are used in the finishing stands in Hot Strip Mills for rolling slabs proceeding from continuous casting at 1200 °C. Through the application of a Design of Experiments (DoE), an attempt has been made to identify those manufacturing factors which have a significant effect on resistance to wear of these rolls and to find an optimal combination of levels of these factors which allow for improvement in resistance to wear. To increase resistance to wear, it is recommended to situate, simultaneously, the liquidus temperature and the percentage of Si in the respective ranges of 1250–1255 °C and 1.1–1.15 (wt.%). Higher liquidus temperatures favour the presence of the pro-eutectic constituent rather than the eutectic constituent. The outer zone of the work layer, in contact with the metal sheet, which is being rolled, does not show the graphitising effect of Si (0.8–1.15 wt.%). On the contrary, it confirms the hardening effect of the Si in solid solution of the ferrite. The addition of 0.02% of Mg (wt.%) and the inoculation of 6 kg/T of FeB tend to eliminate the graphitising effect of the Si, thus favouring that the undissolved carbon in the austenite is found to form carbides in contrast to the majority formation of graphite.
