The effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties (microhardness,
wear resistance and impact toughness) of laser additively manufactured AISI H13 tool steel …

Residual stresses play a pivotal role in determining the durability and service life of the
component. Processes such as heating, machining, mechanical treatment and even the …

This paper introduces the Steel Cold Rolling Ontology (SCRO) to model and capture domain
knowledge of cold rolling processes and activities within a steel plant. A case study is set up …

Electrical discharge texturing induces a recast white layer on the skin pass mill work roll
surface, which forms the surface topography required for outer autobody steel strips and a …

The premature failure of two forged and induction hardened low alloy steel work rolls used
for cold rolling of high and medium carbon steel was investigated. Microhardness profiles …

Cemented carbides, also known as hard metals (HM), are composite materials that are
widely used in many technological applications requiring favourable mechanical properties …

The high cooling rates and thermal gradients inherent in additive manufacturing can
produce out-of-equilibrium microstructures with refined grains and metastable phases …

In this paper, premature failures of several work rolls on a cold strip mill were investigated. In
order to study the work roll surface feature and failure mechanism, the chemical …

A nonlinear model describing the dynamical interaction between work rolls and metal sheets
and the initiation of fifth octave rolling chatter is presented. The model, which comprises a …

In this paper, premature failure of a forged back-up roll from a continuous tandem mill was
investigated. Microstructural evolutions of the spalled specimen and surface of the roll were …
