Types Of Steel

Types Of Steel

Strictly speaking, steel is just another type of iron alloy, and it's mainly including carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, and stainless steel four types.  

First, steel is still essentially (and overwhelmingly) made from iron. 

Second, there are literally thousands of different types of steel, many of them precisely designed by materials scientists to perform a particular job under very exacting conditions. 

When we talk about "steel", we usually mean "steels"; generally speaking, steels fall into four groups: carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, and stainless steels. These names can be confusing because all alloy steels contain carbon (as do all other steels), all carbon steels are also alloys, and both tool sheets of steel and stainless steels are alloys too. Now, we will explain the four different sheets of steel as following.

Carbon steels

The vast majority of steel produced each day (around 80–90 percent) is what we call carbon steel, though it contains only a tiny amount of carbon—sometimes much less than 1 percent. In other words, carbon steel is just basic, ordinary steel. Steels with about 1–2 percent carbon are called (not surprisingly) high-carbon steels and, like cast-iron, they tend to be hard and brittle; steels with less than 1 percent carbon are known as low-carbon steels and like wrought iron, are softer and easier to shape. A huge range of different everyday items is made carbon steels, from car bodies and warship hulls to steel cans and engine parts.

Alloy Steels

As well as iron and carbon, alloy steels contain one or more other elements, such as chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, silicon, or vanadium. In alloy steels, it's these extra elements that make the difference and provide some important additional feature or improved property compared to ordinary carbon steels. Alloy steels are generally stronger, harder, tougher, and more durable than carbon steels.

Tool steel

Tool steels are especially hard alloy steels used to make tools, dies, and machine parts. They're made from iron and carbon with added elements such as nickel, molybdenum, or tungsten to give extra hardness and resistance to wear. Tool steels are also toughened up by a process called tempering, in which steel is first heated to a high temperature, then cooled very quickly, then heated again to a lower temperature.

Stainless steels

The steel you probably see most often in stainless steel—used in household cutlery, scissors, and medical instruments. Stainless steels contain a high proportion of chromium and nickel, are very resistant to corrosion and other chemical reactions, and are easy to clean, polish, and sterilize.

Types Of Steel Rolling Mill Machine

There are many types of steel rolling mill machine that used to reduce the thickness of metal material or compress the material to create a uniform product such as the plate, wire rod, rebar, hot rolled coil, cold rolled coil and etc.

In addition, the steel rolling mills are divided into several types as follows:

Two-high rolling mills, which have a unique advantage in cost-saving cause the less expensive for manufacturing. And they are used for skin passing with small reductions of 1% to 2%.

Four -high rolling mills, which has a quick change roll system, can be equipped with roll bend and shape control and can be put in tandem, two to seven stands, instead of reversing mill.

Six-high rolling mills, which are similar to four-high rolling mills, also allows for substantial roll shape, depending upon the horizontal movement of the rolls. Furthermore, this kind of rolling mills is equipped with hydraulic screw downs, automatic shape control, and automatic gauge control.

What Are Lubrication Methods Of Steel Rolling Mills?

The lubrication methods of Steel Rolling Mills are as followings: 

The basic methods of steel rolling mills lubrication are thin oil lubrication, dry oil lubrication, and oil mist lubrication. Thin-oil lubrication uses mineral oil (liquid lubricant) as a lubricant. Because the thin oil has the characteristics of fluidity, adhesion to the metal surface, certain viscosity and heat capacity, it can adhere to the surface of the lubricated part and can form fluid dynamic pressure, so that the friction surfaces are separated from each other. It also removes the heat generated by the friction from the friction surface. The performance of thin oil is relatively stable and has a certain antiseptic effect. However, the thin oil is not easy to seal, and the lubricating surface of the device easily invades impurities such as water and iron oxide.

Oil mist lubrication is a new way of lubrication. In the atomizer, the lubricating oil is atomized into extremely small oil particles under the action of filtered and compressed air. The fine oil particles are then mixed with the compressed air, and a small oil droplet is condensed onto the friction surface through the pipe and the condensation nozzle. Oil mist lubrication consumes less fuel, has a lower operating temperature, has a better lubrication effect, and saves maintenance costs. However, oil mist lubrication has high requirements for sealing of steel rolling mills, and strict requirements for oil quality and compressed air.        

Dry oil lubrication actually uses a grease-like grease (also called butter) as a lubricant. Grease is a grease made of lubricating oil plus thickener. Besides its lubricating property, it has strong adhesion, so it has good protection performance and seals the friction surface to avoid metal corrosion and impurity intrusion. After adding the grease once, the steel rolling mills can be operated for a period of time and is convenient to use. However, the energy consumption during operation is larger than that of thin oil, and it is not suitable for high-speed operation equipment.

What Are The Advantages Of The New Design Rolling Mill Equipment?

What Are The Advantages Of The New Design Rolling Mill Equipment?

What are the advantages of the new design rolling mill? What are the special rolls equipped?

As we know that in the process of improving the rolling mill equipment, its structure design has been obviously optimized and upgraded. So do you know what new advantages this rolling mill has after new design improvements? In fact, one of the most attractive aspects of the new equipment is the flexible adjustment of rolling speed.

In this way, in actual production, the working performance of rolling mill equipment will be brought into full play, which is also the basis of realizing automation and continuous operation. Of course, it also has many other advantages, such as when the latest design and production equipment in the production process can also ensure the tensile strength of finished steel bars, but also can greatly improve the elongation of broken steel bars and the maximum total elongation, and further improve the mechanical properties of products, to overcome the problem of low ductility of cold-rolled steel bars.

In addition, after improvement, the current rolling mill equipment adopts the passive one-rolling and one-towing production mode, which can realize two-pass rolling. It not only solves the problem of speed matching but also changes the traditional four-pass rolling mode and improves production efficiency significantly. At the same time, the automatic control calculation is flexibly applied to ensure that the product appearance size is accurate and the surface quality is excellent.

From the above introduction, we can see that continuous innovation and improvement will be able to further improve the performance of rolling mill equipment on the basis of the past. At the same time, it also significantly improves the quality of finished steel products, while improving production efficiency, bringing maximum benefits to customers. So, do you know what special rollers are equipped with them? In fact, rolls are very important components for any rolling mill equipment.

Even some rolling mills are equipped with special rolls to meet these special rolling requirements. For example, cemented carbide rolls, which are pressed and sintered with tungsten carbide powder, are suitable for high-speed rolling because of their excellent wear resistance. This roll is usually used in high-speed wire rod mills.
