Experimental study for roll gap adjustment due to roll wear in single-stand rolling and multi-stand rolling test

摘要

To investigate a correlation between the amount of wear and roll gap (pass height) adjustment, we performed a single-stand reversible pilot groove rolling test as well as rolling test in an actual rod mill. In case of the pilot rolling test, we designed wear contour (profile) and machined it on the original roll groove (i.e., roll groove with no wear) to make the roll groove worn down. For the actual rod mill test, we developed a measuring device which can detect the actual wear profile.
