Our forged material grades are meticulously engineered using advanced refining techniques, including Ladle Refining, Vacuum Degassing, and Electro Slag Refining (ESR), ensuring ultra-low impurity levels for superior steel quality. Precision heat treatments, including quench hardening and cryogenic thermal treatment, deliver an optimised microstructure with exceptional mechanical properties tailored for demanding steel mill operations.
Applications
Benefits
Forged to perfection, these materials deliver unparalleled strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Rigorous quality control measures, including ultrasonic testing and x-ray diffraction metallography, ensure defect-free rolls with low retained austenite and optimal residual stress levels. Insulated roll journals reduce thermal differentiation, enhancing the longevity and reliability of backup rolls in extreme operational conditions.
Our forged material grades provide unmatched strength, precision, and reliability, ensuring exceptional performance across the most challenging steel mill and cold-forming applications.
