Classification Of Rolling Mill Rolls

There are several ways to classify rolling mill rolls, mainly including:

By product type: Strip steel rolls, section steel rolls, wire rod rolls, etc.

By position in the rolling mill series: Roughing rolls, finishing rolls, etc.

By function: Descaling rolls, piercing rolls, leveling rolls, etc.

By material: Steel rolls, cast iron rolls, cemented carbide rolls, ceramic rolls, etc.

By manufacturing method: Cast rolls, forged rolls, welded rolls, sleeved rolls, etc.

By state of the rolled steel: Hot rolling rolls, cold rolling rolls. These classifications can be combined to give the rolls a more specific meaning, such as centrifugally cast high-chromium cast iron work rolls for hot-rolled strip steel.
