Melting and casting
Horizontally spun cast iron, high chrome iron, and high-speed steel, poured in Canton.
The plant
Capability
One plant in Canton does the melt, the spin, the heat treatment, the grinding, and the metallurgical check. The roll does not change hands between companies to get finished.
01
Melt and spin cast
Iron, high chrome iron, and high-speed steel are melted and horizontally spun in Canton. The shell is the part the mill wears.
02
Heat treat
Rolls leave the mold still doing thermal work. Synergy 100 is differential heat treated so hardness stays uniform through the shell.
03
Machine and grind
CNC grinding and dynamic balancing bring the body, necks, and balance to the drawing before the roll is released.
What else the plant does
Heat treatment
Including the differential heat treatment used on Synergy 100 to hold hardness through the shell.
Machining and grinding
CNC grinding, dynamic balancing, and custom machining before a roll ships.
Metallurgical testing
In-house testing, plus nondestructive testing and failure analysis when a roll comes back.
Application engineering
Grade and stand selection against the mill, the product, and the campaign length you need.
Reconditioning
Iron and steel rolls reconditioned so a mill is not waiting on a new body.
