EN-HiCr Iron
Rolls

Enhanced High Chromium Iron is widely used in early finishing stands of hot strip mills.The microstructure consists of a tempered bainitic/ martensitic matrix with Cr7C3 carbides and MC type carbides homogeneously distributed in the matrix.

Core Material

  • Nodular Iron

Application

  • Work Rolls for early finishing stands (F1-F4) of HSM and early stands of CSP mills.
  • Work Rolls for Heavy Plate mills and Temper mills.
