The life of rolling elements depends on various factors such as operating conditions and material properties. In this work, the effect of microstructure on the rolling behavior is investigated. Specially, the deformations in the substrate regions before and after rolling are compared. It is found that rolling action causes severe flow of material in the direction opposite to the rolling direction in the case of dry rolling direction. With lubrication, the deformation is more severe at the subsurface region rather than at the surface.

For the improvement of safety and endurance in welded steel structure, it is needed to consider welding residual stress distribution and rolling directional characteristics of materials. In this study, it was investigated experimentally about characteristics of fatigue crack propagation according to welding residual stress and rolling in FCAW(flux cored arc welding) butt-jointed steel plates. SS400 steel plates of 3mm thickness were selected and tested for this study. When the angles between tensile loading direction and rolling direction in welded materials are increased from $0^{\circ}\;to\;90^{\circ}$, their fatigue crack propagation rates are increased. These results are same as predicted increments of fatigue crack propagation rate when stress ratio is increased from 0 to 0.5. When the angles of rolling direction and welding direction to tensile loading direction are $0^{\circ}\;and\;90^{\circ}$ respectively, fatigue crack propagation rate in welded material is lowest.

Steel plates used for common structures are manufactured by rolling processes in general. The rolling direction traces generated during the processes have significant influences on mechanical properties and fatigue behavior of the plates. The objective of present study is to investigate those directional characteristics for the enhancement of steel structure safety. SS400 steel plates of 3 mm thickness are tested in this study, When the angles between the tensile loading direction and the rolling direction of the plates are increased, their yield strengths are increased and elongations are rather decreased. It is also shown that fatigue crack growth rates in the plates can be increased according to the changes of those mechanical characteristics. For the safety of the structures, therefore, it is critical to decrease the angles between the rolling direction and the tensile loading direction.

The variation of thermal diffusivity with respect to rolling reduction is experimentally determined by flash technique. Copper alloy is used as an experimental and specimens are cut from the slab produced by rolling process with different percent reduction in thickness along the rolling direction and with 30.deg. 60.deg. and 90.deg. angle to the rolling direction. It is found that thermal diffusivity is slightly decreased as rolling reduction increased, and it has tendency that thermal diffusivity is increased slightly as its angle approached to 90.deg. at same rolling reduction.

Most of the welding steel plate structures have complicated mechanical problems such as rolling directional characteristics and residual stresses caused by manufacturing process. For the enhancement of reliability and safety in those structures, therefore, a systematic investigation is required. SS400 steel plate used for common structures was selected and welded by FCAW butt-welding process for this study, and then it was studied experimently about characteristics of fatigue crack propagations with respect to rolling direction and welding residual stress of welded steel plates. When the angles between rolling direction and tensile loading direction in base material are increased, their ultimate strength not show a significant difference, but yielding strength are increased and elongations are decreased uniformly. It is also shown that fatigue crack growth rate can be increased from those results. When the angles between welding bead direction and loading direction in welded material are increase, fatigue crack growth rate of them are decreased and influenced uniformly according to the conditions of residual stress distribution. In these results, it is shown that the welded steel plate structures are needed to harmonize distributed welding residual stress, rolling direction and loading direction fur the improvement of safety and endurance in manufacture of their structures.

The hole expansion tests using conical punch, flat punch or hemispherical punch are widely used for stretch flangeability verification of HSS. In this study, we investigate the strain distribution on the shear edges of the hole expansion test using grid marking and a projector. A small crack at the edge is distributed, resulting in a large gap between the HER and the crack strain. The strain distribution at the edges is irregular due to anisotropy of sheet metal. While an edge perpendicular to the rolling direction indicate a lower strain level compared to an edge parallel to the rolling direction, edge cracks occur at the edge perpendicular to the rolling direction. To predict the manifestation of edge cracks in FE analysis, the result of the hole expansion test with a crack strain measurement may well be a better tool than FLD. In this case, the level of strain and the direction of the edge relative to the rolling direction should be well considered.

In this paper, we propose camber monitoring system which is using on hot rolling process. In roughing mill which is one of the rolling part in hot rolling process, steel plate can be bended in width direction under the imbalance of rolling condition. This bending of steel plate in width direction is called as camber. In order to measure the camber, first, cameras which are installed over transport pathway of steel plate take pictures of whole shape of steel plate. And location value of steel plate edge is extrated from these pictures by edge detection algorithm. But, there are a lot of noises which are generated by such as water sprays, dusts, peripheral equipments in these pictures, and these noises make edge detection difficult. In order to solve this kind of problem, we developed a direction selective edge detection algorithm, and applicated in our camber monitoring system. As a result, we got stable results in spite of process noises.

The research for variation of coolant film thickness and separating force has been investigated following the examination for friction profile of work roll and roughness change of strip surface in rolling mill producting actual commercial products. The obtained results are as follows ; (1) Coolant film thickness in cold rolling has been increased relative to the circumferential velocity of work roll, and formation of coolant films has decreased with the smaller diameter of work roll. (2) Separating force is related to the formation of coolant film, and large separating force is needed to the formation of coolant film but it is constant after formation of appropriate film. (3) Wear and roughness alleviation of work roll is larger in bottom-roll than in top-roll on cold surface is larger in the direction of width than in roll direction, and changes of roughness and strip surface hardness rarely occurred after 3 passes.

In the present study, the effects of initial texture on the twinning formation of AZ31 Mg rolled sheet was investigated. Uniaxial compression tests were performed on samples cut along the normal direction and rolling direction of rolled AZ31 Mg alloy sheet at various temperatures (RT, 200, 250, 300, 350, $400^{\circ}C$) with the 0.01/s strain rate. Pole figure of rolling planes showed that basal planes of most gain were located parallel to the rolling direction. After compression test, microstructures and stress-strain curves results indicated that active deformation twining occurred only at the specimen cut along the rolling direction. The slip-twin transition with the increase of temperature was also investigated.

Experiment on roughness and micro pit defects of SUS 430 ferrite stainless steel was investigated in laboratory. The relation between roughness and glossiness with reduction in height, roll surface roughness, emulsion parameters was analyzed. The surface morphology of micro pit defects was observed by SEM, and the effects of micro pit defects on rolling reduction, roll surface roughness, emulsion parameters, lubrication oil in deformation zone and work roll diameter were discussed. With the increasing of reduction ratio strip surface roughness Ra(s), Rp(s) and Rv(s) were decreasing along rolling and width direction, the drop value in rolling direction was faster than that in width direction. The roughness and glossiness were obtained under emulsion concentration 3% and 6%, temperature $55^{\circ}C$ and $63^{\circ}C$, roll surface roughness $Ra(r)=0.5{\mu}m$, $Ra(r)=0.7{\mu}m$ and $Ra(r)=1.0{\mu}m$. The glossiness was declined rapidly when the micro defects ratio was above 23%. With the pass number increasing, the micro pit defects were reduced, uneven peak was decreased and gently along rolling direction. The micro pit defects were increased with the roll surface roughness increase. The defects ratio was declined with larger gradient at pass number 1 to 3, but gentle slope at pass number 4 to 5. When work roll diameter was small, bite angle was increasing, lubrication oil in micro pit of deformation zone was decreased, micro defects were decreased, and glossiness value on the surface of strip was increased.
