Premium backup rolls Production Experts

Extra large backup rolls

In the field of large-scale support rollers, as early as the 1980s, LMM GROUP Roller Manufacturing Plant successfully developed and produced large-scale support rollers weighing more than 100 tons.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Cr2 and Cr3 series of large-scale support roller materials with independent intellectual property rights were developed, which met the requirements of rolling technology for support rollers and are still used today.

Manufacturing Process

Raw materials – crude water – ladle refining – pouring – ingot – forging – forging heat treatment – rough machining – preliminary heat treatment – surface quenching – finishing – finished product

Smelting and pouring process

Electric furnace smelting water – Ladle furnace vacuum refining – Vacuum pouring

Smelting
Electric furnace smelting and ladle furnace vacuum refining ensure the chemical composition of molten steel and improve the purity of molten steel.

The main tasks of electric furnace smelting are: melting steel materials, dephosphorization, and heating;

The main tasks of ladle furnace are: deoxidation, desulfurization, degassing, alloying, purifying molten steel, and adjusting temperature.

Main equipment: 60t electric arc furnace, 80t electric arc furnace, 40t, 150t ladle refining furnace.

Casting:
The vacuum casting method is used to reduce the gas content in the molten steel and prevent white spots and hydrogen embrittlement cracks in forgings.
Main equipment: 600t, 400t, 200t vacuum ingot casting chambers.

Forging process

Pressing pliers handle – Main deformation of upsetting and drawing refining – Material division and forging of finished products

A large press is used to upset and elongate the steel ingots to achieve the shape and size of the forgings required by the process.

The main function is to reduce and eliminate the inherent defects in the steel ingots (cast structure, loose holes, etc.) as much as possible, and obtain a dense forging structure, so that the forgings have good mechanical properties and performance.

Main equipment: 160MN open forging hydraulic press, 125MN open forging hydraulic press.

Heat treatment process

Post-forging heat treatment: dehydrogenation, adjustment of forged structure, grain refinement, and ensuring ultrasonic flaw detection penetration.

Preparatory heat treatment: ensure the hardness of the roll neck and the mechanical properties of the matrix, and prepare the structure for surface quenching. During surface quenching, the transition between the roll body and the roll neck is cooled to ensure the hardness and strength of this part.

Surface quenching treatment: ensure the hardness, uniformity of hardness and depth of the hardened layer of the roll body. Surface quenching treatment is the most important process to ensure the hardness of the roll body of the support roll and determine the quality of the support roll. Equipment: Large horizontal differential temperature furnace

Heat treatment example: Large support roller out of furnace, quenching
