GRAPHALLOY Solves Bearing Seizures in Steel Mill

Bearing problems? One steel mill had them — and lots of them. Greased roller bearings in their guide rolls were seizing under high heat (170–180°C), causing maintenance headaches and production delays.

Their team turned to GRAPHALLOY® bushings, a graphite/metal alloy that doesn’t require grease and thrives in high temps. After six months with GRAPHALLOY in place, the plant manager gave a glowing review: “They’re performing very well.”

Now they’re upgrading all the guide rolls.
