It is one way how to meet the casting requirements of how to adapt the material properties to the operating conditions. Centrifugally cast rolls are multi-layer rollers, castings. The working layer of the barrel is called the "shell" and the body of the roll and the necks rolls are called "core". The article deals with the influence of the properties of the core iron. Earlier laboratory experiments were primary analysed for metallographic analysis and mechanical properties. These data were compared back to the experiments. The results of these laboratory working were later applied in the operating conditions of the roll foundry Vítkovitcké slévárny, spol. s r.o. The spun cast roll produced with the applied metallurgical processing change was supplied to the hot strip mill. There were monitored the positive effect of the change of the metallurgical process of the production of the core iron on the useful properties of the centrifugally cast roll. The experiment was done in order to increase the mechanical properties of ductile pearlite ductile iron. The copper in these core iron material increases the hardness and strength primarily.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Influence of Copper on the Properties of Ductile Iron for Producing Centrifugally Cast Rolls}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/107823/PDF/AFE%203_2018_18.pdf}, keywords={Centrifugally cast rolls, Microstructure and mechanical properties, copper alloys, Ductile iron}, }
