Acicular Nodular Cast Iron Roll, alloyed with the nickel, manganese and chromium with a bainitic-acicular-martensitic matrix has a higher UTS, hardness and wear resistance is more than the SGP quality. Semi-continuous carbides maintain the wear resistance, while at the same time exhibiting high strength and resistance to fire-cracks.
The extensive heat treatment procedure ensures an acicular matrix. Acicular roll can be produced by static casting (Monoblock) or by using the centrifugal cast (CC) Double-pour method. SGP is the regular choice for the roughing group stands for bar and rebar mill.
