Groove defects arise from places broken off at the roll groove
or a disc roll. The rolling stock presses itself in into these voids. In the further
rolling course the raised material is pressed in again into the roll wire. In the
microsection the defects look similar as pinchers. The defects are, however, restricted
locally and recur in certain distances into longitudinal direction of the roll
wire. The distances between the single defects are dependent on the size of the
roll groove or the disc roll. The defects are scaled and have a decarburization
this one isn't stronger than that one of the defect-free wire surface.
