Abstract
The sand mold of the bottom neck often does not provide directional solidification of cast due to accelerated solidification of the roll body when casting rolls in stationary molds. To avoid hot zones and shrinkage defects in the bottom roll necks it is reasonable to make the bottom neck in metal mold with sandy-argillaceous heat-insulation. Bottom neck molding with external chill also helps solve this problem
