The column is a vertical structural member in the mill stand housing that bears loads from rolling, maintains alignment of the roll assembly, and ensures dimensional accuracy of the rolled product.
Common materials include forged steel, cast steel, and high-strength alloy steel. Material grades such as ZG270-500 (per GB/T 11352) are referenced, but the exact grade must be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Cross-section width and depth typically range from 300 to 600 mm, and column height from 2000 to 5000 mm. These are reference ranges; actual dimensions depend on the specific mill stand design.
Always check the manufacturer's datasheet for exact dimensions, material grade, mechanical properties, and tolerances. Standards like GB/T 11352, ISO 1101, and ISO 1302 are references for verification, not proof of compliance.
