Abstract :
[en] High Speed Steel (HSS) cast rolls are used in front finishing stands of hot strip mills. Good wear resistance and hardness at high temperatures, are defining features of HSS.
Many types of carbides are present in these alloys, each having different effect upon their final properties. As a result, nature, morphology and amount of these carbides are factors of important concern.
Identification and characterisation of carbides were realised. MC, M2C, M7C3 carbides were found. Some relationships with mechanical properties were obtained especially in the field of the solidification sequence that affects grain size and carbides dispersion.
