Production of rolled steel has been growing partly supported by the advancement of rolls and rolling mills. Aiming at the further improvement in roll performance, various new techniques such as centrifugal casting, double poured casting cast steel, special build-up making, etc. have been introduced in the field of roll manufacture in these several years. The present paper describes the development of horizontal cast rolls(sleeve and indefinite chilled roll) made by Hyundai Steel and the results of mill tests. The developed roils are contributing the improvement of final products.

In the steel making industries, the continuous casting process has been applied to the number of company because of its economical benefit. Casting rolls are utilized for frictional drive and transport of solidifying slap. Dimensional tolerances, mechanical stability and surface condition of the cast roll can affect both the surface and internal quality of the product being cast. To overcome these problems, the industry is accelerating on the rate of technology improvements. Samples were overlaid on the S45C steel by submerged arc welding process. And the hardness, wear, electrochemical corrosion and oxidation tests were carried out. Test results were that all these materials were satisfying basic requirements of caster rolls. By these results, the addition of 0.1%Nb and 0.15%V increase mechanical properties and tempering resistance by its superior carbide forming characteristics in low carbon $12{\sim}13%Cr$ martensitic stainless steels.

In the steel marking industry, most companies have adapted the continuous casting process, due to its economical benefit. Casting rolls are utilized for frictional drive and the transport of solidifying slap. Dimensional tolerances, mechanical stability, and surface condition of the casting rolls can affect both the surface and the internal quality of the product being cast. To overcome these problems, the industry now is focused on accelerating the rate of technological improvements. This study has been undertaken for the development of casting rolls overlaid materials (SAW FCW wire), with the addition of Vanadium and Molybdenum to the martensitic stainless steel, in order to increase tensile strength and hardness at elevated temperatures.

The effect of austempering treatment on mechanical properties of nodular indefinite chilled iron(NICI) and ductile cast iron(DCI) was investigated. In microstructural observation, matrix phase(pearlite and ferrite) was changed to ausferrite after austempering treatment both DCI and NICI. In case of NICI, decomposition of cementite($Fe_3C$) during austempering treatment was induced. After austempering treatment, mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength and impact toughness was improved in NICI and DCI. The wear resistance is slightly decreased because of decomposition of cementite during austempering treatment in NICI but impact toughness and strength is dramatically increased.

Experimental study on the twin roll strip casting of BCuP-5(Cu-15wt%Ag-wt5%P) alloy was carried out using laboratory scale horizontal type twin roll caster. In this study, among the various operating parameters, such as tundish angle, contact angle, pouring temperature, roll speed, presetting gap of the rolls and kinds of roll and tundish materials, effect of pouring temperature for strip casting of BCuP-5 alloy which has long freezing range of about $170^{\circ}C$ was mainly investigated. BCuP-5 alloy strip was successfully produced when pouring molten metal at lower temperature than its liquidus temperature. Microstructure of the cast strip consists of primary Cu and eutectic. Especially the size of primary Cu phase increased with decreasing of pouring temperature.

The primary objectives of the rolling process are to reduce the cross section of the incoming material while improving its properties and to obtain the desired section at the exit from the rolls. Many engineering metals, suchas aluminium alloys, copper alloys, and steels are often cast intoingots and are then further processed byhot rolling into blooms, slabs, and billets, which are subsequently rolled into other products such as plate, sheet, tube, rod, bar, and structural shapes. In shape rolling a round or square bar is rolled in several passes into various shapes. During eachpass, the bar elongates as well as spreads. Thus, a very complex three-dimensional metal flow takes place. In this paper TASKS results for the simulation of a 7 pass square-to-round shape rolling are presented. The results are verified by comparing it with experimental results from a previous study conducted at the Battelle Columbus Labs

The objective of this study is to predict the roll wear in hot rod rolling process. In this study hot rod rolling process for round and oval passes has been investigated. In order to predict the roll wear, the wear model is reformulated as an incremental form and then wear depth of roll is calculated at each deformation step on contact area using the results of finite element analysis, such as relative sliding velocity and normal pressure at contact area. Archard's wear model was applied to predict the roll wear. To know the thermal softening of DCI (Ductile Cast Iron) roll according to operating conditions, high temperature micro hardness test is executed and a new wear model has been proposed by considering the thermal softening of DCI roll expressed in terms of the main tempering parameter curve. 3D wear program developed in this study might be used for adjusting the gap of rolls to set up a suitable rolling schedule for keeping dimensional tolerance of the product.

High$\cdot$speed steels (HSS) with a combination of good wear resistance and toughness are finding new, non-cutting applications such as rolls and rollers. In this paper, the research interests are focused on the microstructural evolution of a SMo-6W series high speed steel during HIPping and the effect of HIPping process parameters on its microstructure and properties. HIPping process variables includes; temperature, pressure and hold time. The microstructures of the HIPped HSS were examined by SEM, OM and X-ray diffraction whereas the properties measured were the relative density, hardness, and bend strength at room temperature. In HIPped materials, MC and M6C were the major carbides formed in a matrix of martensite. The effect of powder size on the microstructure and mechanical properties of HIPped materials was insignificant. However, HIPping temperature and hold time strongly affected the carbide size and distribution. The results show that at proper HIPping temperature and pressure conditions, the final products approach the full density ( > 99% RD). The particle boundaries were completely eliminated without an eminent microstructural coarsening. The bend strength was about 2.3 Gpa, which is superior to cast HSS. At excessive HIPping temperatures, rapid carbide coarsening occurred, thus deteriorating the mechanical properties of the P/M steels.
