Heat treatment is an important stage in the technology of rolling rolls, due to the fact that the thermal stresses that occur during rapid or uneven heating summing up with the rather high residual stresses after casting, create a risk of cracking. Goal. The aim is improving the quality of rolling rolls by varying the modes of heat treatment. Therefore, it is important to assess the level of thermal stress. Method. Evaluation of thermal stresses arising in heating and cooling in the heat treatment process that summing up to the relatively high residual stresses after casting, creates the risk of fractures. The profile of the distribution of chromium in the cross section of the working layer at each time under the action of the stress gradient that occurs during heat treatment of the roll is obtained by calculation. Results To ensure a minimum temperature difference between the surface and the core, it is necessary to reduce the heating and cooling rate, as well as increase the duration of exposure at a given temperature. Reducing the cooling rate from 17 to 3.7°C/h decreases the temperature difference at the surface and in the center of the roll and the intensity of thermal stresses from 29 to 7 MPa. It is established that the rate of heating and cooling should not exceed 10– 15° C/h, and exposure to annealing should be at least 5–7 hours. Scientific novelty. The modes of heat treatment of rolling rolls with a high-chromium cast iron working layer are designed by estimating the level of thermal stresses. The profile of distribution of chromium after various modes of heat treatment is calculated analytically and its mode at which the most uniform distribution of chromium on section of a working layer remains is offered. Practical significance. The developed technique allows to calculate analytically the profile of distribution of chromium after various modes of heat treatment and to choose such a mode at which the most uniform distribution of chromium remains on the section of a working layer.
