For the purpose of rolling hard metals such as silicon steel and non-ferrous metals, the backup roll driven-type mill has been widely used in cold rolling industry. Since the backup roll drive results in horizontal bending of the work rolls and therefore exerted reciprocal action on the roll gap contour, the selection of slim work rolls is very restricted. In this paper, we present an analytic equation based scheme to determine a proper horizontal position of work roll minimizing the horizontal force subject to mechanical constraints.

This study was made of the effect of cold working on the stress corrosion cracking(SCC) of austenitlc 304 stainless steel in boiling 42% $MgCl_2$ solution. For this experiment, specimens cold-worked of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% were fabricated respectively, and then experiments of mechanical properties and stress corrosion cracking(SCC) of these specimens were carried out. The results of these experiments indicate that the maximum resistance to SCC showed at 20% of cold working degree and that the SCC susceptibility depended on the volume fraction of deformation-induced martensite by cold working and the work hardening of matrix. On the other hand, the fracture mode was changed. This phenomenon was considered that deformation-induced martensite was grown from transgranular fracture mode to intergranular fracture mode and caused by increased of dislocation density along the slip planes.

Work roll wear in the cold rolling of mild steel strip is strongly affected by rolling materials, rolling conditions such as roll arrangement in the cold rolling mill and lubrication. The tests were performed to find the effects of roll arrangement n the cold rolling mill on the work roll wear under the same lubricating conditions. The obtained results are as follows:If the distance of cold rolling is about 60km, the surface roughness of its was reduced by half(Ra 0.49${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and Pc(peak count) also was decreased to 60 ea/cm.It is easier for CC(Continuous casting) to make a slip on rolling than IC(Ingot casting). It is due to surface mirror in which first residual product appears and iron powder included Al2O3 is sticked. Because bending degree of 4Hi-rolling mill is higher than 6Hi-rolling mill, the first surface mirror was occurred to its center-point which is loaded strongly. 6Hi-rolling mill shape-controlled by intermediate roll doesn't need the initial crown to work roll. Therefore, fatigue and wear would appear a little bit.

The purpose of this paper is to show the result from the study to improve the formability and appearance which is important in the cold rolled strip, the coated strip and prepainted strip. Furthermore, to give appropriate surface roughness, shape of work roll for temper mill is also important. The strip has a greater peak counts and homogeneous roughness. This makes the prepainted surface smooth and consistent in appearance with good image clarity. Therefore, the surface roughness of the work roll is very important. The reason that surface roughness of the work roll is transferred to the strip surface is the rolling farce and tension at the temper rolling or cold rolling. This study is classified in order to get an accurate and homogeneous roughness. There are few papers published in this field, because its importance is not known and the proper operation of the machine is not generally well known. This paper investigates the correlation between strip surface roughness and the surface of the work roll. After studying the surface roughness and shape according to the texturing method for roll surfaces at temper rolling, the findings were as follows. Irregular surface roughness can be compensated with several paint coatings, but this also makes the quality deteriorate and manufacturing costs go up.

Work roll wear in the cold rolling of mild steel strip is strongly affected by rolling materials, rolling conditions and lubrication. The tests were performed to find the effects of rolling materials under the same lubrication conditions. The obtained results are as follfws; 1) The decrease in surface roughness of work roll is more rapid in that case of continuously cast A1-killed steel strip than ingot cast steel strip. In rolling of continuously cast A1-killed steel strip, worn powder rich in A1$\_$2/O$\_$3/sticks to the work roll surface, and so it makes the mirror surface of work roll accelerate. 2) Amount of work roll wear is small in rolling of continuously cast A1-killed strip. 3) In rolling of continously cast A1-killed steel strip, it is necessary to put up the intial surface roughness of work roll in order to prevent work roll slip.

The cold rolled strip meets continuously rising demands on the less deviation of thickness at the width direction of their rolled products. Especially, the special interest has been to find the methods to reduce the edge drop which influences seriously on the yield losses and the quality of the rolled products. In this study, the influence of hot coils on the thickness profile of cold rolled strip was analyzed. For obtainint the tapered work roll shig\ft conditions, the thermal crown and the flattening between the work roll and the strip were calculated, and the main parameters which have mostly effects on the edge drop were simulated. Also the obtained conditions from the simulation were applied to Tandem Cold Rolling Mill to investigate the change of the edge drop and the crown ratio depending on the amount of work roll taper and the length of contact of taper. The results of the application led to better thickness profile than conventional one.

Due to the strength and biocompatibility requirement, the stainless steel SUS 316L is widely used for trauma internal fixation device. SUS 316L can be hardened and strengthened only by cold work. In this work, the material compression test is performed both in laboratory and computer simulation by a FEM analysis software DEFORM to correlate the hardness to strain. This data is then used for preform design and predict the hardness of the finish bone plate forging. Finally, we compared the hardness between the actual forging and computer analysis results. Although the predicted hardness from computer simulation. is 55HV higher than the final forging sample, we can get good compatibility on the hardening tendency of cold forging.

A study on the spalling causes of work roll for cold rolling was performed in the cold rolling mill. Performance of work roll is dependent to a great extent on spalling sothat both roll manufactures and users show great interest in spalling. So this paper shows that spalling origin on the roll surface. As being well known, spalling mostlyoccurred due to developing fatigue fracture originated a crack on a roll. But such spalling can be prevented by proper roll maintenance, The spalling accidents have sharply decreased since 1981 because of the use of ultrasonic test to detect cracks on a roll.

In high-performance cold work applications, tool failure depends on the predominating loading conditions. Typical failure mechanisms are a combination of abrasive wear, adhesive wear, plastic deformation, cracking and edge crumbling. In this paper we demonstrate how the microstructure of tool steels can be positively influenced by modifying the alloying system and the production route to meet the demands of the different loading situations which occur during operation. The investigation was focused on ductility, fatigue strength and wear resistance. Theoretical considerations were confirmed by practical tests.

Frozen food processing workers work under a cold environment which can cause several adverse health effects.This study explored factors affecting workers' health in the frozen food industry in Thailand. Participants comprised 497 workers exposed to a cold working environment and 255 office workers who served as the controls. Data were collected by a survey on the work environment, and the interview of workers for abnormal symptoms. The exposed group had the following characteristics: 52.7% male, overall average age of 27 (SD 6.6) years old, attained elementary education (Grade 4 and Grade 6) (54.1%), married (48.9%), smokers (21.3%), alcohol consumption (31.0%), duration of work was between 1 and 5 years (65.2%), working 6 days a week (82.7%), 1-5 hours of overtime per week (33.8%), office workers (33.9%); work category: sizing (6.9%), peeling (28.3%) dissecting (22.2%), and in the warehouse (8.6%). The temperature in the work environment ranged from $17.2^{\circ}C$ to $19.2^{\circ}C$ in most sections, $-18.0^{\circ}C$ in the warehouse, and $25^{\circ}C$ in the office areas. Warehouse workers had more abnormal symptoms than controls including repeated pain in the musculoskeletal system (OR 11.9; 95% CI 6.12-23.45), disturbance throughout the body (OR 4.60; 95% CI 2.00-10.56), respiratory symptoms (OR 9.73; 95% CI 3.53-26.80), episodic finger symptoms (OR 13.51; 95% CI 5.17-35.33). The study results suggest that workers' health should be monitored especially with regard to back and muscle pain, respiratory symptoms, episodic finger symptoms, and cardiovascular symptoms. Health promotion campaigns such as antismoking and reduction of alcohol consumption should be established because smoking and alcohol consumption are contributing factors to the pathogenesis of Raynaud's phenomenon and peripheral vascular disorders such as hypertension and heart disease.
