Fatigue Strength of the Rolls with Grooves

Abstract

In Steelworks Split failures of the rolls with grooves on the 3-high-roughing mill stand occurred four times. Detailed analysis of all the elements which influenced the failure was carried out. Stress analysis shownthatthe most critical area of the roll is the 7.a caliber what is corresponding with fracture positions. The fatigue strength of the material in the caliber groove for fatigue life prediction was missing and fatigue strength is determined by experimental testing.
