Abstract:
A method of manufacturing formable as-rolled thin steel sheets having excellent ridging resistance and other properties is disclosed, which comprises rolling a low carbon steel to a given thickness without cold rolling and recrytalli- zation annealing steps. In this rolling, at least one rolling pass is carried out within a given temperature range at high draft and high strain rate.
Abstract:
A ferritic stainless steel sheet with excellent cleanability, antiglare properties and hydrophilicity is provided. In the ferritic stainless steel sheet, which is temper-rolled using a dull roll after finishing cold rolling and bright annealing, the arithmetic average roughness Ra in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction on the steel sheet surface is 0.2 µm or more and 1.2 µm or less. In addition, the dull pattern transfer rate on the steel sheet surface is 15% or more and 70% or less. Furthermore, micropits with a depth of 0.5 µm or more and an open area of 10 µm 2 or more which are formed on the steel sheet surface have an existing density of 10.0 or less per 0.01 mm 2 and an open area ratio of 1.0% or less. In addition, a film formed on the steel sheet surface is constituted from an oxide containing SiO 2 as a main constituent, which oxide contains at least Si, N, Al, Mn, Cr, Fe, Nb, Ti and O as film-forming elements other than C, wherein the Si content is 10 at% or more, and the N content is 10 at% or less.
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:
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:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Kühlen von walzwarmem Walzgut (1), insbesondere zum beidseitigen Kühlen von Warmbreitband, bei dem eine Zwangskonvektion beim Wärmeaustausch zwischen Walzgut (1) und Kühlmedium mit Hilfe einer Druckwasserströmung in einem Druckraum (10) und Konvektionsraum (13) vorgenommen und das Walzgut (1) durch gezieltes Steuern der Intensität der Zwangskonvektion gekühlt wird. Das Verfahren wird dadurch verbessert, daß die Intensität der Zwangskonvektion durch relative Abstimmung voneinander unabhängig einstellbarer Parameter wie Verweilzeit des Walzgutes (1) beim Durchlauf durch den Druckraum (10) und durch den Konvektionsraum (13) sowie Menge, Druck und Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Kühlmediums gesteuert und von diesem Wärme aus dem Walzgut (1) bevorzugt bis zu einem Sicherheitsabstand zum Siedepunkt zur Vermeidung der instabilen Filmverdampfung aufgenommen wird. Die Erfindung beschreibt auch eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.
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:
A method for the manufacture of a strip of formable steel comprises the steps of (i) forming liquid steel by continuous casting into a slab having a thickness of not more than 100 mm, (ii) rolling the slab in the austenitic region into an intermediate slab having a thickness in the range 5 to 20 mm, (iii) cooling the intermediate slab to below the Ar3 temperature, (iv) holding the intermediate slab in an enclosure for temperature homogenisation, (v) rolling the intermediate slab into strip, with at least one rolling pass applying a thickness reduction of more than 50 %, at a temperature below Tt and above 200 °C, where Tt is the temperature at which 75 % of the steel is converted into ferrite, and (vi) coiling said strip at a temperature above 500 °C. Advantages of simplicity of the method and the plant required for it are obtained.
