Bimaterial elongated insert member for a grinding roll
View Patent ↗The disclosure relates to an elongated insert member for a grinding roll for heavy wear operation. The insert member includes a core of a first material having a first hardness, the core having an extension in the longitudinal direction of the insert member, and a body of a second material having a second hardness, the body enclosing the core. The first hardness is greater than the second hardness. The disclosure also relates to a cassette and a segment for a grinding roll, a grinding roll and a roll machine.
1. A grinding roll for heavy wear operation, comprising:
a grinding roll body;
a plurality of segments attached to the grinding roll body, each segment having a support member having an outer surface; and
a plurality of elongated insert members extending along a longitudinal axis, the insert members being supported in the support member and extending from the outer surface in a longitudinal direction, each of the insert members including a core of a first material having a first hardness, said core extending in the longitudinal direction of the insert member and including first and second axial ends, and a body of a second material having a second hardness, said body including first and second ends and enclosing said core in a radial direction to protect edges of the core, wherein the first and second axial ends of the core do not extend past the first and second ends of the body in the longitudinal direction, wherein the first hardness is greater than the second hardness.
2. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said first material has a first toughness and said second material has a second toughness, and wherein the first toughness is smaller than the second toughness.
3. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said first material is selected from a group comprising metallic material, ceramic material or a combination thereof.
4. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said second material is selected from a group comprising metallic material, ceramic material or a combination thereof.
5. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said first material has a hardness from at least 600 to 1200 HV.
6. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said second material has a hardness from 400 to 1200 HV.
7. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein the cross-section of said insert member is cylindrical.
8. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said insert member has the shape of a pin.
9. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said core is cylindrical.
10. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein the geometric center axis of said core is unaligned with the geometric center axis of said insert member.
11. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said core extends along the entire length of said insert member in the longitudinal direction.
12. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein said core extends from the top of said insert member and along a part of the length of said insert member in the longitudinal direction.
13. The grinding roll of claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of said insert member is profiled.
