Effects of different corrugated rolls on the performance of BTW1/Q345R composite plate

Abstract

BTW1/Q345R composite plate not only has the advantages of high strength and high wear resistance, but also helps to reduce energy consumption and production cost. This paper proposes a novel rolling process based on corrugated rolls for the preparation of wear-resistant steel BTW1/Q345R composite plates. In order to analyze and study the microstructure, and mechanical properties of BTW1/Q345R composite plates after rolling, techniques such as electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were used. The results indicate that the composite plate obtained through rolling with the corrugated roll of 72 cycles (3# corrugated roll) exhibits a yield strength of 550 MPa, tensile strength of 705 MPa, elongation at break of 17.57%, and shear strength of the composite interface at 242 MPa. Notably, the rolling process with a 3# corrugated roll yields the best combination of tensile mechanical performance and interface bonding performance for the composite plate.
