Fujico's CPC/HSS Roll Performance at CMC's Arizona Micro-Mill and in North America

摘要

For decades, roll manufacturers have provided rolls of cast iron and cast steel that have performed admirably with good wear resistance, tensile strength and impact strength, all the while demonstrating excellent machinability. For instance, the nodular iron process was discovered in 1948 and is still being used. But in the last few decades, roll manufacturers have adapted more modern materials and adopted or invented other processes, such as spin casting, bottom pouring, hot isostatic pressing and the continuous process for cladding (CPC).
