Life of rolls in a cold rolling mill in a steel plant-operation versus
1. The reason for poor performance of rolls was partly operational and partly manufacturing. Since the mill is semi-automatic, a strict discipline on the part of the operating crew is needed for improving the roll life. 2. From the performance data, the major cause of failure of indigenous rolls was spalling.

The finishing sections for 3-roll mills are rounds and hexagon sections. 2.3 Grooves for 4-roll Mill Stands To improve the free size rolling technology for round sec-tions and also for square sections, 4-roll mill stands are developed.
Everything you need to know about flatteners and levelers for coil
If the cold mill rolls or hot mill coils have too little crown, the mills will roll out the edges and create edge wave (see Figure 9). This is fairly common in mill master coils. Mill work rolls and backup rolls bend and compress under the vertical loads it takes to reduce plate or sheet coil thickness.
