Roll Manufacturing and Reconditioning for Optimal Roll Performance

Siemens specializes in the manufacturing of rolls and related products for the continuous casters, hot strip, cold and finishing mills. Our technologically advanced process of metallurgical engineering, roll performance evaluations, failure analysis, computerized roll tracking, and customized weld and weld overlay capabilities provide our customers with an exceptional value in workmanship and quality assurance with every job.

The Siemens Overlay Advantage

The primary benefit of a roll overlay is to minimize the operational effect on the roll while increasing lifetime and reliability. This has a direct bearing on the primary function of the rolls: to maintain the shape and form of the cast product. In addition, other advantages of Siemens roll overlay include:

Typically outperforms OEM supplied rolls 2-1 and up to 3-1

Salvages the roll base material, which can yield a 25-50% cost savings compared to new roll options

Allows for alterations to the base material composition and the ability to make surface design changes, which can minimize or even eliminate many of the operational effects on the roll

Decreases the long term spend due to an increase in skim machining campaigns

Eliminates the long yield time for special forged materials and alloys

Our unique roll overlay technology and service expertise provides our customers with modified roll designs and base material enhancements that combat the extreme operational mill environments.

By analyzing roll erosion, corrosion, wear and thermal fatigue, we define and detail the variations of overlay materials and chemistry and will tailor our surface engineering, process controls and technologies to accommodate your needs.
