Union Electric Steel forging a roll on our 5,000 Ton press.
Mitchell Knauss: Looks like a backup roll, I’ve made those and as well as work rolls.
[In a four-high stand, the work rolls touch the product whereas the backup rolls touch the work rolls to help keep them from bending under the pressure.]
Mark Wolfe: In Valparaiso?
Donnie Narigon: Mark Wolfe Burgettstown PA.
Ed Lucas: Mark Wolfe Valparaiso does work rolls in induction hardening, lathes, grinders, and milling. Work is good.
Kevin Werner: It’s the Harmon Creek Plant in Burgettstown right outside of Pittsburgh. Carnegie does the finishing of the rolls. That’s where I work.
[Some comments indicate that the chain mail deflects the heat from the columns.]
