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

s - upper po$ .b - cuned central sectio4 c - lower paft<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 />

'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 />

cast<strong>in</strong>g rolls.<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 />
