Abstract
The subject of the study is the high-carbon tool cast steel G200CrMoNi4-3-3 used for metallurgical rolls, especially in section rolling mills. The test material was derived from a roll damaged in production; therefore, the authors had the material in a raw state at their disposal, on which they were able to carry out additional heat treatment operations. The pearlitic matrix of casting steel G200CrMoNi4-3-3 allows machining to be done to modify the pass or to remove any defects, and the primary and secondary precipitates of carbides enhance the tribological properties. The authors have been for years involved in the optimization of the structure of this material by slight correction to its chemical composition and/or the modification of heat treatment. The presented principles of heat treatment modifications will lead to considerable economic and ecologic profits. It has also been demonstrated that raising slightly the contents of carbide-forming elements, which markedly increases the quantity of transformed ledeburite, results in an enhancement of tribological properties. The analysis of a dozen or so rolls exploited down to the dead roll diameter has shown that roll of cast steel with increased contents of carbon and carbide-forming elements exhibit better service properties, as characterized by the amount of feedstock rolled. Such a method of enhancing the service properties required the assessment of fracture toughness, which was verified using the linear-elastic methods of fracture mechanics.
