A continuous coating line includes a roll assembly exposed to molten metal. The roll assembly includes a roll rotatable relative to a bearing block. The roll includes a roll portion and a journal protruding from each end of the roll portion. The roll is made from a refractory ceramic material that is resistant to wear, abrasion, and corrosion when the roll is exposed to the molten metal.

A method for manufacturing a roll for rolling flat metal products having a barrel section coated with a wear-resistant layer and journals formed thereon, and a main body blank which includes a barrel section and two blank journal sections The barrel section is encased with a jacket which is connected, with its edge regions associated with the blank journal sections, in a sealed manner, to the associated end faces of the blank journal sections, and limits a cavity surrounding the barrel section. The cavity is filled with an alloy powder. The wear-resistant layer coating of the barrel section, which forms a substance-to-substance bond with said barrel section, is then formed from said alloy powder through hot isostatic pressing. The jacket is then removed from the barrel section, the blank journal sections are formed into the journals and the barrel section and the journals are finished.

A semiconductive roller (1) is produced by: preparing a rubber composition containing a rubber component including an NBR and an EPDM in a mass ratio of NBR/EPDM=70/30 to 30/70, at least one selected from the group consisting of SAF, ISAF and HAF, sulfur, a peroxide crosslinking agent and a sulfenamide accelerating agent; extruding the rubber composition into a tubular body; crosslinking the tubular body in a vulcanization can or with the use of a continuous crosslinking apparatus; and forming an oxide film (5) in an outer peripheral surface (4) of the tubular body by irradiation with ultraviolet radiation with a shaft (3) inserted through the tubular body.
