Resumo: O avanço da tecnologia de laminação incrementou as solicitações sobre os cilindros laminadores, e, portanto, o desenvolvimento de materiais mais resistentes ao desgaste, visando aumento da produtividade do laminador e melhor qualidade superficial dos produtos laminado, em especial tiras a quente. Como estudo de desgaste em campo é muito complexa devido à influência de diversos mecanismos e muitas vezes combinados entre si, os ensaios laboratoriais têm se mostrado como um meio mais fácil para estudar os materiais em serviço, além de auxiliar o projeto novas ligas. Dessa forma, foi proposto um ensaio de desgaste abrasivo puro para um tribômetro Plint & Partners, modelo TE-079, com o intuito de simular condições de utilização das últimas cadeira do trem acabador de um laminador de tiras a quente. Para sua validação foram utilizados três materiais: o ferro fundido de coquilhamento indefinido, o ferro fundido branco de alto cromo e o ferro fundido branco multicomponente, os quais apresentam comportamento conhecido em serviço. Esses materiais foram submetidos a uma caracterização metalográfica, microdureza e topografia de desgaste. Os resultado obtido mostraram-se coerentes com a prática observada na aplicação real, ou seja, reproduziram o comportamento de desgaste no laminador, sendo válida a proposta do ensaio tribológico. / Abstract: The progress towards mill technology has increased the demand on the rolling mill rolls, and therefore, the development of wear resistant seekink productivity of the rolling mills and better superficial quality of the rolled products, especially in the hot strip mill has also increased. As the wear study in field is very complex due to the influence of several mechanisms wish are usually combined amongst themselves, the labs test have shown an easy way to study the materials in service, besides aiding the project of new leagues. In that way, a pure abrasive wear test was developed tribômetro Plint & Partners, model TE-079 with the intent of simulating the job conditions in the hot strip mill finishing chairs. For the validation three materials were used: an indefinite chill cast iron, a high chrome cast iron and a kind of multicomponent white cast iron, which presents knowm behavior in service. Those materials were submitted to a metallography characterization, microhardness measurement and wear topograpy observation. The obtained results were shown coherent with the practice observed in the real application, and then became possible a prediction of that behavior for the materials projects developed at laboratory, being valid the proposal of the rehearsal tribológico. / Orientador: Valdir Alves Guimarães / Coorientador: Amilton Sinátora / Banca: Gustavo Aristides Santana Martínez / Banca: Enrico José Giordani / Mestre

O objetivo desse estudo é analisar as principais variáveis dinâmicas do processo de fundição centrifugada de cilindros de laminação e estudar as relações entre estas variáveis. Os processos de fundição centrífuga podem ser classificados em fundição centrífuga vertical e horizontal. Para a fundição centrífuga vertical, são elaborados os envelope de carga de dois modelos de máquinas centrífugas verticais existentes na literatura, onde se consegue determinar o tipo de rolamento de apoio utilizado na máquina. Para a fundição centrífuga horizontal, são estudadas variáveis como rotação, razão G, "aspect ratio", espessura e vibração de uma amostra de aproximadamente 1.000 cilindros de ferro fundido, aço rápido e aço alto cromo. Desta amostra, verifica-se que a causa de sucateamento de parte dos cilindros não está ligada a adoção de variáveis dinâmicas incorretas no processo. Também é visto que diferentemente do alumínio, os cilindros de ferro fundido, aço rápido e aço alto cromo exigem maior rotação quanto maior a espessura da casca fundida. / Abstract: This paper shows the dynamic variable of centrifugal casting process of rolling mill rolls which are used to compress the metal in rolling mill process. The main goal is to analyze the main dynamic variable and to study its relation in the process. There are two type of centrifugal casting: horizontal and vertical. For the horizontal centrifugal casting, two load envelopes are done, being possible to determine the bearing model used on the vertical centrifugal casting machine. For the horizontal centrifugal casting, variable such as rotating, ratio G, aspect ratio, thickness and vibration are studied to a sample of 1,000 casting rolls made of casting iron, high speed steel and high chromium steel. From this sample, it is seen that the cause of scrapping is not related to incorrect adoption of dynamic variables in the process. It is also verified that differently from the aluminum, cast iron, high speed steel and high chrome steel rolls demand greater speed with the increasing the shell casting thickness. / Mestre

The objective of this investigation was to determine the influence of work roll cooling on roll thermal behavior. The investigation has been conducted utilizing a previously developed computer model [1]. Three industrial operations were evaluated and features of an optimum configuration have been identified. The magnitude of the thermal zone near the roll surface within which the cyclic temperature variation is confined has been evaluated for different roll cooling conditions. A two dimensional thermal model of a work roll has been developed to predict the thermal field inside the roll, based on which the thermal crown of the roll was calculated under an assumption of axi-symmetric deformation. The heat transfer equation was solved by the numerical finite difference method, the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. This method makes it possible to solve the problem on a personal computer making it suitable for industrial application due to the minimum requirements of computer storage and time. Also because the thermal model simulates operating conditions including the cooling configuration it is of value in studying a variety of industrial rolling conditions. The influence of roll spray arrangement, roll gap heat transfer and mill pacing on roll thermal crown has been investigated. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Materials Engineering, Department of / Graduate

The goal of this thesis is to design an attachment between a duct and a pod. A pod is what could be compared to an outboard engine for larger vessels. The pod is placed on the outside of the ship’s hull and can rotate 360 ̊. A duct is a large steel ring that can be placed around the propeller on the pod to increasethe propulsion force of the ship in lower velocities. The thesis is written for Rolls Royce AB in Kristinehamn.The demanded requirements of the design are: it must be easy to adapt to different sizes and shapes of pod houses, the duct must be able to bemounted and dismounted from the pod.The result from this thesis is that anupper and a lower attachment weredesigned. The upper attachment consists of two parallel steel plates which arebolted together with a screw plate that is welded to the pod house.The lower attachment is basically a wing with a streamlined profile which is bolted to a stay. Both attachments consist of bolted joints, two guide pins and bursting screws.The design is controlled by parameters in CAD, meaning that if you change the size of the duct the attachments automatically adapts themselves to the new dimensions.The total result from this thesis is a design suggestion and not an actual manufactured product.The design is dimensioned by a load analysis and strength calculations. The dimensions of the bolts are determined by basic load calculation and the guide pins aredimensioned to withstand the shear forces that occur.The conclusion of this thesis is that the developed attachment solution is a good way to solve this problem andthe personal recommendation is that it should be developed further.Further design work that needs to be done with the attachment is a more thorough analysis of the strength and especially with fatigue, since no account has been taken considering fatigue. / Målet med detta arbete är att konstruera en infästning mellan en dysa och en pod. En pod är vad som kan liknasen utombordsmotor för stora fartyg som sitter på utsidan av skrovet och kan rotera 360 ̊. En dysa är en stor stålring som kan sättas runt propellern, dysan ger förenklaten ökad framdrivningskraft och är lämplig för användning vid fartygstillämpningar där det handlar om låga hastigheter.Arbetet utförs på uppdrag av Rolls Royce AB i Kristinehamn.Kraven som ställdes på konstruktionen var att den skulle vara lätt att anpassa och att det skulle gå att montera och demontera dysan.Problemformuleringen för arbetet är att en ny infästning behövs för att kunna fästa dysan i poden.Resultatet av arbetet blev en övre och en nedre infästning på dysan. Den övre infästningen består av två parallella plåtar som skruvas ihop med en svetsad infästning på dysan. Den nedre infästningen består av en vinge med en strömningsvänlig profil som skruvas fast på ett stag. Båda infästningarna består av ett skruvförband, två styrpinnar och sprängskruv.Konstruktionen parametriserades i CAD så attomdysans storlekändrasså följer infästningarna med.Hela arbetet resulterade i ett konstruktionsförslag.Konstruktionen har dimensionerats med hjälp av en lastanalys och hållfasthetsberäkningarför att uppskatta infästningarnas nedböjning. Skruvförbanden har dimensionerats med enklare beräkningar och styrpinnarna har dimensioneratför att uppta skjuvspänningar.Slutsatsen som dras av arbetet är att konstruktionen är en lämplig lösning på problemet och rekommendationen är att det är värt att undersöka denna lösning vidare.Vidarearbete som behöver utföras är nogrannare dimensionering av konstruktionen, ingen hänsynhar tagits till utmattning eller vridning då det inte fanns tid inom arbetets tidsram för detta.
