In this study, tempering effect on the residual stress is studied after uniform heating–quenching and nonuniform heating–quenching for bimetallic work roll. Results for uniform heating treatment showed that the maximum stress at the center decreases by 68% from 396 MPa to 126 MPa after the first and second tempering. Results for nonuniform heating treatment showed that the maximum stress at the center decreases by 47% from 309 MPa to 165 MPa after the first and second tempering. It may be concluded that nonuniform heating–quenching and tempering are useful for reducing the central tensile stress preventing cracks at the roll surface.
