#FridayPhoto - Steel slab quality and shape are critical for whatever upstream processing they are destined. Poor quality slab caster rolls wearing inconsistently or prematurely between segments, rolls or even roller elements introduces weak areas in the caster. The nature of the harsh casting environment targets and exploits these weak areas resulting in issues such as excessive roll gap, increased potential for breakouts and out of tolerance slabs. The cost of downgrading slabs and pulling segments early for premature roll wear with additional manpower and caster downtime significantly outways the cost and added value of robust roll welding strategy. Just ask our customers. #Weldclad #RollStrategy #RollWelding
