MC5 Forged Steel Cold Rolling Work Roll for Strip and Plate Rolling Mill

The MC5 forged steel cold rolling work roll is an alloy steel roll with a chromium content of approximately 5%. As a mainstream material in the current cold rolling industry, it is widely used in various strip and plate rolling mills due to its high wear resistance, deep hardened layer, and excellent accident resistance.

 MC5 is a typical high-carbon 5% Cr forged steel (corresponding to GB/T 85Cr5MoV), specially used for manufacturing work rolls of cold rolling mills and temper mills.

It is particularly suitable for high-speed, high-load, high-wear-resistance strip cold rolling production lines (such as tandem cold mills, HC mills, and Sendzimir mills), and is renowned for its deep hardened layer, high hardness, excellent wear resistance, as well as strong spalling resistance and accident resistance.

Si 0.50 ~ 0.80%
Mn 0.20% ~ 0.50%
Cr 4.80~5.20% Core elements that significantly improve hardenability and wear resistance
Ni 0.40~0.60% Improve toughness
Mo 0.20~0.40%
Refine grains and prevent temper embrittlement
V
0.10~0.20% Form high-hardness carbides to enhance wear resistance
P/S ≤0.015% Strictly control impurities to reduce crack initiation sites


Core Performance Advantages

Compared with 2%Cr steels (such as 9Cr2Mo) and 3%Cr steels (such as MC3), MC5 material exhibits superior performance in the following aspects:


  • Deep hardened layer


    This is the most prominent advantage of MC5. Its effective single-side hardened layer depth can reach 30–40 mm, much higher than that of traditional Cr2 series (only 13–16 mm). This means the roll can maintain surface hardness even after multiple grindings, resulting in a longer service life.


  • High wear resistanceDue to relatively high contents of alloying elements such as Cr, Mo and V, a large number of uniformly distributed carbides are formed. Its wear resistance is approximately 65% higher than that of 9Cr2Mo.


  • High spalling resistanceIt provides excellent accident resistance and is less prone to surface spalling under heavy-load conditions. The spalling rate can be reduced from about 7.8% for traditional materials to below 0.03%.


Manufacturing Process Flow


1.Refining and Electroslag Remelting

EAF primary melting → LF refining → VD vacuum degassing → Electroslag Remelting (ESR), ensuring high steel purity and low segregation;


2.Three-directional forging with a large forging ratio (forging ratio ≥ 4:1) to break up eutectic carbides and refine grains;


3.Post-forging annealing / quenching and tempering to relieve forging stress;

4.Medium-frequency / dual-frequency induction hardening + cryogenic treatment + tempering to achieve a uniform deep hardened layer.Roll barrel hardness is generally 92–96 HSD (approx. HRC70), with a single-side hardened layer of 30–40 mm;Roll necks remain in a tough condition with hardness 50–60 HSD;


5.Precision machining + non-destructive testing (UT/MT) to meet rolling mill installation accuracy and fatigue safety requirements.

Application

MC5 cold rolling work rolls are widely used in:
  • Single-stand or multi-stand tandem cold rolling mills

  • High-precision sheet and strip rolling

  • Temper mills (skin pass mills)

Key Points for Application and Maintenance

  • Strictly control rolling lubrication and cooling to prevent excessive local temperature rise.

  • Regularly inspect the roll surface and promptly grind micro-cracks and pits.

  • Avoid overloading rolling and foreign matter intrusion to prevent roll surface spalling and cracking.

  • Conduct non-destructive testing periodically to monitor the development of internal and surface defects.
