The roller surface fatigue layer must be removed before cladding.
Case Detail
Laser Cladding Repair for Laminar Cooling Rollers
Surface restoration and strengthening for hot strip line rollers
Laminar cooling rollers are positioned between the finishing mill and coiler in hot strip lines. The roller surface works under combined temperature, impact, wear and corrosion conditions, so repair planning must consider fatigue-layer removal, cladding performance and finishing accuracy together.

Challenges
Final dimensions and surface roughness must meet drawing requirements.
Diameter, hardness and penetrant testing are key to crack-risk control and delivery quality.
Approach
1. Remove the roller surface fatigue layer by turning.
