Do you supply grooved cast rolls for long product mills?

Yes. We supply grooved rolls for all common groove patterns including oval, square, box, and diamond, to your groove drawing.

What is the advantage of cast over forged rolls?

Cast rolls offer shorter lead times, better groove-ability, and lower cost for positions where forged toughness is not required.
