Abstract:
Device for producing a thin steel strip, comprising at least one or more continuous-casting machines (1) for casting thin steel slabs, a furnace device (7) which is suitable for heating and/or homogenizing a slab, and at least one rolling device for reducing the thickness of a slab which is conveyed out of the furnace device (7), a welding machine being arranged between the continuous-casting machine (1) or continuous-casting machines (1) and the rolling device (10), for the purpose of joining slabs together.
Abstract:
Method for the manufacture of a steel strip, whereby molten steel is cast in a continuous casting machine into a slab and, while making use of the casting heat, is conveyed through a furnace apparatus, is roughed in a roughing apparatus, and finish-rolled in a finishing apparatus into a steel strip of a desired finished thickness, whereby in an endless or semi-endless process a. for the manufacture of a ferritically rolled steel strip, the slab is rolled in the roughing apparatus in the austenitic range and after the rolling in the austenitic range is cooled to a temperature whereby the steel has essentially a ferritic structure, and the strip, the slab or a part of the slab is rolled in the finishing apparatus at speeds essentially corresponding to the entry speed into the finishing apparatus and the subsequent thickness reductions and in at least one stand of the finishing apparatus is rolled in the ferritic range; b. for the manufacture of an austenitically rolled steel strip, the strip leaving the roughing apparatus is heated to or held at a temperature in the austenitic range and is rolled in the finishing apparatus essentially in the austenitic range to the finished thickness and, following that rolling, is cooled down to a temperature in the ferritic range; and the ferritically or austenitically rolled strip after reaching the desired finished thickness is cut to portions of the desired length which are subsequently coiled.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for producing coilable lightweight construction strips and lightweight construction sheets comprising at least a first metal flange (1) and a second metal mating flange (5), the flanges (1, 5) being in the form of a sheet or a strip. Regularly recurring bumps (2) are produced on one surface (1a) of the first flange (1) by cold or hot rolling, and said bumps (2) are welded to the mating flange (5).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the hot rolling of bands from unalloyed or low-alloy steel, in particular extra low carbon, ultra low carbon and interstitial free steel, in a multiple-stand finishing group, starting at a temperature in the steel austenite range and ending at a temperature in the steel ferrite range. Structural transformation of the steel is completed by cooling of the band between stands of the finishing group. The invention is characterised in that the band is rolled in the austenitic phase to an intermediate thickness ranging from 2 to 12 mm, is cooled for ferrite transformation in a single cooling stage, and subsequently rolled to size in the ferritic phase.
Abstract:
A plant for the manufacture of steel strip, comprises a continuous casting machine (1) for casting a steel slab, and at least one furnace apparatus (13, 14) receiving the steel slab. The furnace apparatus has an entry port and an exit port for the slab and an enclosed path for the slab. A coiling apparatus (27, 28) receives the steel slab from the furnace apparatus. The coiling apparatus has an enclosure providing an enclosed space and an entry port for entry of the slab into said enclosed space. A rolling apparatus (40) receives the steel slab uncoiled from said coiling apparatus and rolls the slab into strip of a desired thickness. A non-oxidising gas atmosphere is provided in the furnace apparatus and in the enclosed space of the coiling apparatus, and the exit port of the surface apparatus is gas-tightly and detachably connectable to the entry port of the coiling apparatus. This minimizes oxide formation and allows flexible operation of the plant.
Abstract:
A process for obtaining steel strip coils with characteristics of a cold-rolled product, directly in a hot-rolling line, comprises subsequently two steps of casting and thickness reduction at a temperature of more than 1100 DEG C upon solidification, induction heating of the product and a further step of hot rolling, above point Ar3, a step of cooling and temperature control in a range of between 600 and 250 DEG C, thus lower than said point Ar3, as well as one or more passes of cold-rolling in series, with final coiling of the obtained product. Also a preferred plant is described for putting into practice such a process.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A production method of a steel strip which is finished by being rolled as the steel strip of a final thickness wanted in a finishing rolling apparatus is provided. CONSTITUTION: A production method of a steel strip has the steps of:rolling a slap at a roughening apparatus(10) in an austenite area to produce a strip rolled with ferrite; rolling in the austenite area; cooling to be the temperature so the steel as to be had a ferrite structure; rolling the strip, slap or slap part in the finishing rolling apparatus(14) with the speed corresponded to the entering speed into the finishing rolling apparatus(14) to reduce the thickness; rolling in at least one of stand in the finishing rolling apparatus(14) with a ferrite range.
Abstract:
Thin steel sheet, up to 6 mm thick, is produced by a combination of continuous casting, rough rolling lubrication rolling at a temp. from Ar3 to 300 deg.C and a rolling speed of not less than 1500 m/min, the sheet then being coiled directly after rolling in an insulated box, maintaining its temp. in the range 750-600 deg.C. A finish hot rolling step can be inserted between rough rolling and lubrication rolling, at a temp. of 1100-700 deg.C with sufficient lubrication that redn. rate of rolling load is not less than 30%. Strip is cast at a thickness of not more than 50 mm. Sheets have improved processing characteristics with high productivity mfr., omitting cold rolling.
