Abstract
Wear plates are used for the alignment of sheet metal during hot rolling of steel. Conditions found during the process, such as the high temperature contact with sheet metal and high sliding speeds are responsible for severe plate wear. Damage characterisation of worn alignment plates showed in particular the onset of microstructure changes beneath the wear grooves and the formation of a mechanically mixed layer in the contact region.The aim of this work is the development of a material selection map for cost-efficient steel grades by means of a new high temperature sliding wear testing. As a result, significant differences in wear behaviour were found between the investigated material classes.
