The microstructure consists of tempered martensite Chromium carbides and dispersion of fine secondary carbides. These rolls have excellent thermal shock and wear resistance. Semi High Speed Steel rolls mostly used for roughing and F1-F4 stands of Hot Strip Mills and finishing stands of small section mills and universal rings of section mills.
