Shur-Clad composite rolls consist of a new generation wear-resistant SVCR-9 powder metallurgy tool steel surface bonded to a SinterMetin high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy steel shaft. Shur-Clad is specially heat treated to specifications to ensure optimum durability and outperforms cast iron by four to six times. Unlike the traditional casting process, Shur-Clad's unique powder metallurgy process makes it possible to produce steel with very high alloy content. This process eliminates alloying element (carbide) segregation through rapid solidification of powder particles with uniform chemistry. In addition, advanced hot isostatic pressing at high pressures makes it possible to eliminate solid condensation, uneven precipitation or large growth of alloy carbides. Shur-Clad's new generation SVCR-9u is superior to conventional steels due to its high alloy composition, small (1-3 µm) and evenly distributed carbides such as VC (Vanadium Carbide) and fine grain size of the matrix. Shur-Clad can withstand a minimum speed of 3-5 m/s and has no maximum speed threshold.

Suitable for intermediate stands of wire rod mills and intermediate and finishing stands of rod mills, Shur-Clad can be applied to the production of various bar and rod shapes and sizes.

Alongside our proven technical support, competitive pricing and unmatched delivery, SinterMetin's unique transition path can take you from your existing cast iron to high-performance Shur-Clada and ultimately optimum Shur-Lock composite rolls. This progression of engineering solutions can evolve with your mill, adapting to your specific applications and providing high value regardless of the application.
