Abstract

A roll outer layer material contains small-size carbides having a circle equivalent diameter of 3 to 30 μm in a number of 500 to 2500 pieces/mm 2 and large-size carbides having a circle equivalent diameter of 50 μm or more in a number of 20 pieces/mm 2 or less, preferably having a chemical composition containing, by mass %, C: 2.4% or more and 2.9% or less, Si: 0.2% or more and 1.0% or less, Mn: 0.2% or more and 1.0% or less, Cr: 4.0% or more and 7.5% or less, Mo: 4.0% or more and 6.5% or less, V: 5.3% or more and 7.0% or less, Nb: 0.5% or more and 3.0% or less, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, in which the contents of Cr, Mo, and V satisfy the relationship 1.5≦(Cr+Mo)/V≦2.4.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A roll outer layer material, which is a cast-iron roll outer layer material for an outer layer of a composite roll for hot rolling, the material containing small-size carbides having a circle equivalent diameter of 3 to 30 μm in a number of 500 to 2500 pieces/mm 2 and large-size carbides having a circle equivalent diameter of 50 μm or more in a number of 20 pieces/mm 2 or less,
wherein the roller outer layer has a chemical composition containing, by mass %, C: 2.4% or more and 2.9% or less, Si: 0.2% or more and 1.0% or less, Mn: 0.2% or more and 1.0% or less, Cr: 4.0% or more and 7.5% or less, Mo: 4.0% or more and 6.5% or less, V: 5.3% or more and 7.0% or less, Nb: 0.5% or more and 3.0% or less, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein contents of Cr, Mo, and V satisfy expression below:
1.5≦(Cr+Mo)/V≦2.4, and

where Cr, Mo, and V respectively represent the contents (mass %) of the corresponding chemical elements.

2. The roll outer layer material according to claim 1 , having the chemical composition further containing, by mass %, one or more of Al: 0.001% or more and 0.05% or less and REM: 0.001% or more and 0.03% or less.

3. A composite roll for hot rolling, which is a composite roll for hot rolling formed of an outer layer and an inner layer integrally welded together, the outer layer formed of the roll outer layer material according to claim 1 .

4. A composite roll for hot rolling, which is a composite roll for hot rolling formed of an outer layer and an inner layer integrally welded together, the outer layer formed of the roll outer layer material according to claim 2 .
