Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Rolls
Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Rolls are an advanced class of nodular cast iron rolls engineered to provide exceptional wear resistance, strength, and toughness. By carefully controlling the alloy content and heat treatment, these rolls develop a bainitic matrix with evenly distributed nodular graphite, delivering the perfect balance between hardness and durability.
Material Name | Code | C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cr | Ni | Mo | V | Mg | Barrel Hardness (HSD) | Neck Hardness (HSD) | Recommended Application |
Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Roll I | SGA I | 2.90–3.60 | 1.20–2.20 | 0.20–0.80 | ≤0.10 | ≤0.03 | 0.20–1.00 | 3.01–3.50 | 0.50–1.00 | — | ≥0.04 | 55–78 | 32–45 | Square/bar/plate roughing rolls, section steel, railway roughing rolls, furnace rolls, Hot strip mill 2H rolls, strip steel work rolls, bar/rod mill rolls, seamless tube rolls |
Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Roll II | SGA II | 2.90–3.60 | 1.00–2.00 | 0.20–0.80 | ≤0.10 | ≤0.03 | 0.30–1.50 | 3.51–4.50 | 0.50–1.00 | — | ≥0.04 | 60–80 | 32–45 |
Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Rolls are widely used in mills that require both strength and resilience, such as:
Feature | Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Rolls | Pearlitic Nodular Cast Iron Rolls |
---|---|---|
Matrix Structure | Bainitic with nodular graphite | Pearlitic with nodular graphite |
Hardness Range | 350–500 HB | 300–380 HB |
Wear Resistance | Higher, suitable for heavy-duty applications | Moderate, suitable for medium-duty rolling |
Toughness | Superior toughness and crack resistance | Good toughness, but lower than bainitic type |
Thermal Stability | Excellent, resists thermal fatigue and deformation | Moderate, more prone to heat checking |
Applications | Roughing stands, section mills, heavy bar mills | Finishing stands, light to medium section mills |
Service Life | Longer campaign life under high-load conditions | Reliable under moderate conditions |
Cost Efficiency | Higher initial cost, lower cost per ton due to durability | Lower initial cost, shorter life in heavy-duty mills |
