Description

Wire Producers throughout the world have always tried to achieve higher production outputs-of higher quality products-from the rolling process.In this twin quest for greater productivity and quality, they have encountered a number of limiting factors. A major obstacle to this twin quest has been the wear resistance of the rolls used to form the steel and stricter surface finish requirements of the finished product. Traditionally, these rolls have been produced from tool steel. As a result, for decades production managers and engineers have sought alternative roll materials to increase productivity, hold down cost and produce a higher quality product.
