Hot Strip and Plate Mill Rolls

Product Description:

HiCr Steel                                 Products - Roll for hot strip and plate mill
    
HiCr Steel is characterized by excellent fire crack resistance and very good oxidation behaviour at rolling temperature. Very good wear resistance and constant material properties throughout the shell layer.

HiCr Steel is manufactured by horizontal spin casting. No retained Austenite and the right structure and properties are obtained through the chemical composition, high temperature quenching and tempering cycles.

Core material: Nodular Iron

Application:
Work Rolls for Roughing Stands of conventional HSM
Early Stands of CSP Mill
 

EN-HiCr Iron                             Products - Roll for hot strip and plate mill

Enhanced High Chromium Iron is widely used in early finishing stands of hot strip mills.The microstructure consists of a tempered bainitic / martensitic matrix with Cr7C3 carbides and MC type carbides homogeneously distributed in the matrix.
 
Core material: Nodular Iron

Application:
Work Rolls for early finishing stands (F1-F4) of HSM and early stands of CSP Mill.
Work Rolls for Heavy Plate mills and Temper mills
 

Enhanced -ICDP                           Products - Roll for hot strip and plate mill

The enhanced ICDP is developed based on the classic Indefinite Chill Double Poured Cast Iron.The microstructure consists of a bainitic / martensistic matrix with Fe3C and MC carbides homogeneously distributed and a certain amount of free graphite fine and also well distributed in the matrix.The rolls are double tempered to avoid retained Austenite and to obtain the right hardness level and the optimum residual stress level.

Core material: Nodular Iron or Grey Iron depending on the mill or customer's requirements

Application:
Late finishing stands (F4 - F7) of hot strip mills
Steckel mills, Heavy Plate mills and finishing stand of section mills
 

HSS                                      Products - Roll for hot strip and plate mill

The microstructure consists of tempered bainitic / martensitic matrix with primary and secondary carbides.Primary carbides MC, M7C3, M6C and M2C are originated during the eutectic solidification. Secondary carbides are precipitated during the High Temperature quench and tempering. The rolls are cast with the right structure to undergo the High Temperature quenching to promote the right precipitation of secondary carbides and optimum material properties. Excellent wear resistance and fire crack resistance and very good oxidation behaviour at rolling temperatures under the adequate rolling conditions are the main features of this grade

Core material: Nodular Iron

Application:
Work Rolls for early finishing stands (F1-F4) of HSM and early stands of CSP Mill.
Work Rolls for finishing stands of bar mills.

CAST BACK-UP ROLLS                    Products - Roll for hot strip and plate mill

TSR Rolls Cast Back Up Rolls are produced to a high hardness level of up to 75 HSC through a Differential Hardening process. The superior wear and mechanical hardening resistance are related to the bainitic / martensitic matrix and complex carbides finely distributed. In the Differential Hardening process the monoblock rolls are first heat treated to produce a fine pearlite necks and core structure followed by the differential hardening of the working layer (Austenitize, water quench and double tempering) to develop the optimum microstructure in the working layer. 

The rolls are monoblock cast so no shell / core interface problems

Application:
Back Up Rolls for 4-Hi Stands of Hot and Cold Strip mills and CSP Mills.
Work Rolls for 2-Hi roughing Stands of Hot Strip Mills (3 % Cr)

Plus a complete set of chills, chillers and moulding tackle to cast all kind of rolls including big section rolls with the barrel shaped with grooves and collars in as-cast condition.

     
--HEAT TREATMENT

During the manufacturing process of rolls, many materials need to pass one or more heat treatment to further achieve the most appropriate mechanical properties and good microstructure. The resistance furnace of TS ROLL can achieve multi-point precise temperature control to ensure uniformity of the furnace temperature. Between different furnaces, we use a unified computer control to achieve the furnace heating and cooling consistency in order to ensure the rolls from different furnaces with same microstructure and performance.
