With the development of the steel product market, more and more suppliers spend much time with the desire for advanced standard quality steel products. Spheroidal graphite cast iron roll can be considered one of the steel products with the most highly competitive market. How to find a reliable mill rolls manufacturers for Alloy Spheroidal Graphite Iron Roll is important. Firstly, we should learn about the basic knowledge about the cast iron rolls
What are the Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron Roll
The Spheroidal graphite cast iron roll also called nodular cast iron roll or Ductile Iron Rolls are applied in hardness & composition mills producing different steel products. The cast iron roll is structurally made up of cementite and nodular graphite. Sufficient water cooling is a necessity for satisfactory performance. The matrix structure varies from Ferrito-Pearlitic, Pearlitic to Bainitic & Martensitic together with different carbide contents and graphite in the form of spheroids/nodules. Some critical grades are heat treated for higher strength.
The kinds of the Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron Roll
There’re four kinds of alloy chilled cast iron rolls depending on the Physical Properties, wear resistance, hardness and strength.
Pearlitic Nodular Cast Iron Roll
Pearlitic nodular iron roll mixes cast iron with nickel, chromium, molybdenum nodular cast iron, through special heat treatment. The cast iron roll has good strength, high-temperature performance and anti accident performance, small hardness drop on the work layer with the standard of ISO, GB, ASTM, DIN, JIS.

Centrifugal Composite Cast Iron Roll
The cast iron rolls are high-speed steel rolls, produced by horizontal centrifugal casting process, are all compound rolls with high-speed steel as the work layer and nodular iron as the core. The material of centrifugal composite cast iron roll contains plenty of alloying elements such as Mo, Ni, Cr, etc. The high hardened eutectic carbides & second carbides, evenly distributed in tempered martensitic matrix, make the wear and thermal cracking resistance very excellent. Besides, the resistance to surface roughing is also good.

Bainitic Nodular Cast Iron Roll
Bainite ductile cast iron roll is made of Ni, Mn, CrH, Mo, etc with acicular structure(Bainite and a few Martensite) and would be higher strength and better toughness than pearlite ductile iron roller, besides, the wear resistance is improved much obviously.
Due to the high alloy content and high casting stress, the acicular bainite ductile iron roll can obtain the ideal comprehensive performance by a centrifugal composite casting process.
The feature of bainitic nodular cast roll is that it shaped into graphite ball and its performance can be compared with that of alloy indefinite chilled roll, and its intensity is higher than that of infinite chilled one.
