Material |
Key Features |
Typical Applications |
|
40Cr Steel |
High wear resistance, high precision, excellent toughness |
Diamond rollers for particleboard/MDF spreaders, precision veneer lathe rollers |
|
45# Steel |
Good elasticity, cost-effective, easy processing |
Friction rollers, log debarker rollers, gear-type rollers |
Application-Based Recommendations
Diamond rollers for spreader machines,paving machines:
40Cr steel is preferred due to its wear resistance and precision stability.
Friction and debarker rollers:
45# steel offers sufficient strength and elasticity at a lower cost.Material selection should be based on roller function, load conditions, and precision requirements.
