Forged steel back up rolls are commonly used in various industries due to their strength, durability, and resistance to fatigue. They are often preferred for applications that require high load-bearing capacity, such as in machinery, automotive components, aerospace, and industrial equipment. The forging process can result in improved tensile strength, hardness, and resistance to deformation, marking these rolls ideal for situations where reliability and longevity are crucial.

   Some advantages of steel forged rolls include:

1. Forging eliminates the need for extensive post-forging treatments like heat treatment or machining, which can lead to inconsistencies in the final product.

2. The forging process strengthens the material by aligning the grain structure, resulting in greater tensile and compressive strength.

3. Forged steel rolls have fewer micro-cracks, reducing the likelihood of failure under cyclic loads.

4. The forging process allows for precise control over the final shape and size of the shaft.

5. Improved surface, the forging can produce a smooth, clean surface without surface defects.

However, forging maybe more expensive than casting or other manufacturing methods due to the higher cost of raw materials and the energy-intensive process. But for critical applications, the benefits of a steel forged roll far outweigh the initial investment.
