Acicular Nodular Cast Iron Roll, hardness and wear resistance is more than the SGP quality, while at the same time exhibiting high strength and resistance to fire-cracks.
SGP rolls are composed by nodular graphite and carbides arranged in a pearlitic matrix. We called SGP roll or Pearlitic Nodular Cast Iron Roll.
Forged steel rolls for cold rolling mills are widely applied to work rolls, intermediate rolls, and backup rolls. With high and homogeneous hardness in the working layer, these rolls provide superior wear resistance, high toughness, and excellent resistance to accidental damage.
The depth of the hardened layer can reach over 30mm depending on the roll design and application requirement. Through optimized forging, heat treatment, and machining processes, LONSUN forged rolls ensure stable hardness distribution and reliable service performance for cold rolling operations.

Forged steel rolls for hot mills are manufactured from forged steel blanks with advanced heat treatment processes to achieve stable barrel hardness and appropriate hardening depth. These rolls offer excellent wear resistance, high toughness, and strong biting capability under demanding rolling conditions.
Different forged roll grades are designed according to different mill applications and operating conditions. The optimized alloy composition and heat treatment process ensure reliable performance, stable hardness distribution, and long service life for hot rolling operations.
