Dryer drum

Important specification
  • Stiffness
  • Fatigue resistance
  • Corrosion resistance hot & humid atmosphere
Recommendation

Drums of dryers require multiple performances and an excellent aesthetic.

High strength interstitial free steels were designed to provide an excellent combination of drawability and mechanical strength based on their specific interstitial free (IF) metallurgy. These steels are hardened by adding manganese, silicon and phosphorous in solid solution to the ferrite. They are particularly suitable for complex parts requiring high mechanical strength. These steels have high strain hardening potential during forming.

The combination of High strength interstitial free steels (like HX220YD), with a coating which provides both protection an superb spangled aspect is our best recommandation for this application. 

The alternative use of Magnelis®, a metallic coating that provides outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent edge protection, and a smooth, uniform surface finish, is also a highly effective and durable option.
