Development of New Materials Based on On-Site and Laboratory Evaluation Methods for Understanding Work Roll Surface Degradation

摘要

The Centre for Research in Metallurgy is now equipped with a series of laboratory and on-site methods for evaluating the surface degradation behavior of work roll material. These methods include classical mechanical testing and specially developed evaluation tests and procedures. This paper describes some examples of the application of these methods and the role they have played in a better understanding of the work roll surface degradation mechanisms and in the development of new materials.
