Centrifugal cast roll shell material

A roll outer layer material for hot rolling consists essentially, as analyzed in weight percent, of 2.5-4.0% C, 6.0-20% Cr, 3.0-10.0% V, 0.6-5.0% Nb, 2.0-15% Mo, 3.0% or below Si, 3.0% or below Mn, C, V, Nb and Cr satisfying a formula where 10.5.ltoreq.6.5.C(%)--1.3.V(%)--0.7.Nb(%).ltoreq.2.Cr(%)--2, and the balance being Fe and incidental impurities. A method of manufacturing a roll for hot rolling comprises the steps of centrifugally casting an outer layer material having the above composition, centrifugally casting graphite steel containing 0.5% or above of C as an intermediate layer, and casting an axis material which is a spheroidal graphite cast iron, a flake graphite cast iron or a graphite steel. Carbon is present in the intermediate layer in an amount which satisfies a formula, C (intermediate layer).gtoreq.2.0-0.5�C(%)--0.2.V(%)--0.11.Nb(%)! (outer layer).
