MAXIMA®

Engineered to thrive in extreme conditions, MAXIMA® is a family of enhanced cast iron materials that can offer performance beyond that of conventional cast iron and cast steel grades. MAXIMA® incorporates advanced alloying with strongly carbide-forming elements, which form finely precipitated special carbides within the matrix. This innovative structure enhances wear resistance while preserving the core attributes of the product’s material.

Applications

MAXIMA® is designed to provide improved durability and superior surface finish in high-output rolling mills. Our MAXIMA® VI and MAXIMA® VII maintain their performance when used in extended cascades in universal rolling mills.

Benefits

With MAXIMA®, you gain superior performance and exceptional reliability in high-stress situations. The alloy’s advanced wear resistance ensures long-lasting durability and reduced maintenance, making it the ideal choice for heavy-duty operations requiring top-tier functionality.
