GenTuff™ Products Outperform conventional metals! NO THERMAL CRACKING GenTuff™ Products will not thermally crack under extreme heat conditions found during rod and bar processing. Instead, GenTuff™ parts develop a fine, sandy-grained surface after long periods of use. Simple machining restores the original, smooth roll surface to renew and extend working life. NO COOLING NEEDED
GenTuff™ out-performs conventional products. Our customers have realized enhanced operating flexibility and lower overall operating cost because they are able to run GenTuff™ products without cooling water. UNSURPASSED PRODUCT LIFESPAN
GenTuff™ is comprised of approximately 80% tungsten carbide within an alloy binder. The marriage of these materials results in a long service life which outlasts conventional roll materials by 10x-15x. HIGH STRENGTH AND IMPACT RESISTANCE
GenTuff™ readily withstands high-impact and shock from the front end of bars or rods during the rolling process. Further product value is evident in the event of a bearing failure which would likely result in unexpected roll stoppage; only the damaged areas need to be removed prior to returning the roll back into service. The durability of GenTuff™ products results in lower downtime, increasing productivity. |
