Fig 5. The scheme of cont<strong>in</strong>ual slab cast<strong>in</strong>g<br />

cracks up to .15 mm <strong>in</strong> depth, and wear on weld overlay<br />
was 0.1+0.2 rnnr without fatigue cracks formation.<br />
It means that actual life atta<strong>in</strong>s more then I 000 000 t of<br />
slabs <strong>in</strong> dependence on load<strong>in</strong>g and overall conditions.<br />
Caster rolls dur<strong>in</strong>g operation are subject to a specialy<br />
harsch environment. High pressure contact, plastic deformation<br />
of roll surfaces at contact areas, severe abrasion<br />
by oxides, slags and powders, cyclic mechanical and<br />
thermal stresses and above all, corrosion contribute towards<br />
the deterioration of caster rolls, To improve the<br />
life expectancy of these rolls more noble materials are<br />
required. [5]<br />
The very new malerials have been developed, where<br />
<strong>in</strong>stead of carbon is aded nitrogen <strong>in</strong>to the crhomium<br />
alloy<strong>in</strong>g tubular wires. First work have been realised with<br />
open arc technolory [5].By the chromium nitrides CrN,<br />
Cr2Nwe can improve the hardness but the carbon is ultra<br />
low. Nitrides like hard particles <strong>in</strong> the matrix blockades<br />
the movement of dislocations growth of the gra<strong>in</strong>s, creat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of the carbides CryC6 on the gra<strong>in</strong> bundaries,<br />
Weld<strong>in</strong>g Research Institute <strong>in</strong> Bratislava <strong>in</strong> cooperation<br />
with Metallurgical Plant Koiice developed new tubular<br />
wire VUZ-RD537N for submerged arc surfac<strong>in</strong>g. We<br />
obta<strong>in</strong>ed the same Cr2Nchromium nitrides <strong>in</strong>weld metal<br />
and Ms temperature is abo$20FC. [6] The structure is<br />
martensitic with hardness 421Hv,practically the same as<br />
by open arc technolory. Improvement <strong>in</strong> this case is very<br />
high efticiency.<br />
5" MODUI,AR SYSTEM FOR<br />
HARDFACING OF CONTINUOUS<br />
ROLLS<br />
'Ihis system is prepared for hardfac<strong>in</strong>g and reclamation<br />
of worn steel mill components by open arc and submerged<br />
arc techniques namely for hardfac<strong>in</strong>g of cont<strong>in</strong>ual<br />

ROLLS<br />
The third technology, which is concerned <strong>in</strong> relation to<br />
production of renovation of rolls is the electroslag surfac<strong>in</strong>g<br />
[3]. Up to now we have surfaced and service tested<br />
two types of materials given <strong>in</strong> table 4. It has been shown<br />
