HSS (High-Speed Steel) Rolls are high-performance, wear-resistant rolls designed for the most demanding applications in hot rolling mills, especially for finishing stands of bar and wire rod mills. Engineered with a fine microstructure and alloyed with elements like vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, and chromium, HSS rolls offer superior hardness, excellent thermal fatigue resistance, and outstanding wear resistance under high temperatures and rolling pressures.
| Carbon | Chromium | Molybdenum | Vanadium | Tungsten (W) or Cobalt (Co) | Nickle | Manganese | Silicon | Iron | Hardness | Tensile Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3-2.0% | 4.0-8.0% | 2.0-5.0% | 1.0-5.0% | 0-10% (either, not both) | 0-2.0% | 0.3-1.0% | 0.5-1.5% | Balance | 65-85 HRC (Shell) 30-35 (Core) | 700-1200 N/mm2 (Shell) |
(Note : HSS Rolls can be manufactured with steel or cast iron core)
