Steel Industry

Roll solutions engineered for flat rolled steel processing.

Steel Processing Roll Expertise

In steel processing, rolls face some of the harshest operating conditions in any industry. Finish process lines operate at temperatures up to 300°F. Temper mills subject rolls to extreme nip pressures. Pickling lines expose rolls to hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, hydrofluoric, and other aggressive solutions.

Vail Rubber Works has developed proprietary compounds and engineering solutions specifically for these demanding environments. Our thermal spray tungsten carbide coatings deliver 4x the life of conventional chrome plating on metal process line rolls.
