Coiling Mandrels Composites

Product catalog summary

Introduction
In the steel and metals industry, rolling mill applications are crucial for creating cold rolled aluminum and steel coils. These coils are essential for various products, from spaceships to household appliances. The rolling process involves wrapping material around a coiling mandrel, which expands to hold the strip in place during spinning and wrapping. Traditional bronze wear plates are used to handle high temperatures and distribute load evenly.

Environment and Challenges
Bronze and other non-ferrous metals require lubrication to prevent sticking, which can cause costly delays. However, over-greasing can lead to defects in the final product. Therefore, reducing or eliminating external lubricants is essential to manage scrap risk and returns.

Solution: Hycomp Composites
Hycomp composite wear pads and liners offer a solution by maximizing mandrel efficiency and productivity. These materials last 4 to 10 times longer than standard bronze parts, reduce stick slip risk, and improve coil continuity. They eliminate the need for grease, enhancing strip quality and profitability. Hycomp materials are highly reinforced with carbon fiber, providing high strength and zero deformation under load. They can operate continuously at 600°F and handle thermal cycles up to 1,000°F.

Benefits
The self-lubricating characteristics of Hycomp composites reduce scrap risk. Cost and performance analysis shows these materials last significantly longer than bronze, leading to lower total ownership costs despite higher initial investment.

OMNISEAL® METALS ROLLING MILL COILING MANDRELS: COMPOSITE WEAR PADS & LINERS Patrick McSweeney August 2025 INDUSTRIAL EXTENDED LIFE HIGH TEMPERATURE Environment What is a key component in the steel and metals industry? Industrial rolling mill applications, where cold rolled aluminum and steel coils are created and used to make everything from spaceships to household appliances. With strip lengths ranging up to 2,000 meters and widths up to 2,500 mm, it would be impossible to transfer the material around the mill and to the consumer without rolling it up to save space. How is this rolling process...

Hycomp™ composite wear plates have been used as an alternative to bronze for many years. These engineered composites are highly reinforced with carbon fiber resulting in very high strength and zero deformation under load. • The resin system used can operate continuously at 600°F and handle thermal cycles up to 1,000°F, so they are not phased by the internal mandrel temperatures. • The self-lubricating characteristics eliminate dependence on grease and ensure that scrap risk is reduced. From a cost and performance analysis perspective, Flycomp™ composite materials have been wear tested against...
