The high-temperature tribology of iron matrix hypoeutectic alloy after under-annealing normalizing
(2008) Krawczyk, Janusz Ryszard; Dziurka, Rafał; Rożniata, Edyta
This work includes the results of high-temperature tribology test of cast alloy with iron matrix. The paper presents the discussion on the results of the studies of wear mechanisms and friction factor of G200CrNiMo4-3-3 adamite cast steel after three variants of under - annealing normalization. During the heat treatment of cast steel four annealing temperatures were applied: 850, 900, 950 and 1050°C. Annealing was conducted for 10 h, and then the samples were cooled at a rate of 48°C/h to room temperature. Four different annealing temperatures resulted in adequate differences in microstructure of test cast steel what determinated tribological properties of the material. Results obtained allow for determination of optimal, from wear resistance point of view, microstructure of test cast steel used for mill rolls.

The role of metallurgical defects and microstructure on failure formation in roll necks of cast iron rolls
(2007) Krawczyk, Janusz Ryszard; Pacyna, Jerzy
This work presents the examples of structural reasons for failure of the necks of cast iron rolls. The most common reason for damage of metallurgical roll necks is a presence of shrinkage porosity in their volume. Moreover, a high fraction of ledeburitic cementite can lead to the formation of a continuous net of eutectic carbides, which facilitate cracking. Even very thin net of secondary carbides, formed on the boundaries of former grain of austenite, can significantly facilitate propagation of the crack. Continuous net of ledeburitic cementite, in the case of its precipitation in a form of bands and existence of hardened areas in the alloy matrix can lead to roll neck fracture relatively easy. The use of flake graphite cast iron for metallurgical rolls increases a risk of the fracture of roll neck.
