  • Continuous casting roll for casting molten baths and method for producing one such continuous casting roll
    Publication number: 20040250981
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a casting roller for casting molten metal, particularly molten steel, having a roller body (2) made of a metallic material, onto which a coating (4) is applied, which is produced from a metal material having a greater hardness than the material of the roller body (2). The casting roller according to the invention has an increased service life and improved usage properties. This is achieved in that the coating (4), viewed over its thickness (D), has a lower hardness in its region bordering the roller body (2) than in the region of its free surface (5).
