Abstract:
A hot strip coiling mandrel has a mechanism for engaging a plurality of equally circumferentially divided drum segments about a core shaft and for moving the core shaft or the drum segments relatively axially to thereby radially expand and collapse the drum defined by the segments. Top marks caused at the leading coil end of a hot strip by the use of such a mandrel are prevented by the provision of a buffer between the core shaft and each of the drum segments.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To preform the front and rear ends of a steel material without the need for stopping or positioning the steel material by using a cam rolls on the inlet side of a rolling mill in place of dies for rolling down said ends in the transverse direction. CONSTITUTION:A pair of freely rotatable eccentric (or elliptical) cam rolls 5 are provided on the inlet side of a cross rolling mill 4. The rolls 5 have a circular cross section and eccentric revolving shafts. The gap between the roll is adjusted by the rotation of a screw shaft 6. Cylinders 7 for starting the rolls 5 and hardware 8 are provided in the upper part of the rolls 5. When a steel material 1 is transferred, the gap of the rolls 5 is narrowed, and the cylinders 7 press the hardware 8 to apply rotating force on the rolls 5; thereafter, the rolls 5 are rotated by the frictional force of the steel material, whereby the steel material is preformed. A computer controller 9 is inputted with the width and length of the steel material from an upper program controller 10 and the time for passage of the front end of the steel material from a sensor 11 and performs automatically the above-mentioned operation when the preforming position at the front end of the steel material arrives at the rolls 5 from the rotating speed of table rolls 12.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the variation in the quality of rolled materials owing to differences in temp. of slabs easily without requiring excessive costs by rounding or tapering all the corner parts of the slabs in slab producing stages and hot rolling the slabs. CONSTITUTION:In the production of slabs, the corner parts of the slabs are rounded or tapered by using molds for continuous casting of suitable shapes or working the slabs in the post stage of production, whereby the local drop of temp. owing to the radiation of heat in the corner parts having wide contact areas with air, water, rolling rolls, etc. is prevented, and the generation of the variation in the quality in the breadth wise direction of the rolled materials owing to differences in temp. is prevented. In the corner parts 1 of a slab of a thickness H, radius R1 is preferably about 0.2
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve heatability and to contrive the improvement of heating efficiency, by previously rolling the portion of strip corresponding to the skelp edge into a thinned wall condition, when the strip is to be rolled, and then, by slitting the strip. CONSTITUTION:When the finishing stand is constituted of seven stands, for instance, the grooved rolls are employed for the rolling rolls of the fifth, sixth, and seventh stands. The ravine of the fifthe stand A is formed with d1=0.1-0.3mm, and the ravine of the sixth stand B is formed with rather shallower d2=0.1- 0.2mm. In the seventh stand, the ravine is formed with d3=0.1-0.15mm, that is, the ravine is formed into almost inexistent condition. Hereby, the wall mass gradually flows in the direction of the standard rolling plane whie the rolling is carried out, and only the concave groove 22 corresponding to the width of the skelp 21 is formed on the strip 2. When the edge portion of the skelp is thus previously thinned, the heating efficiency is improvied, and therefore, the energy saving in the heating furnace can be greatly promoted.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the quality of the rolled product, by reheating locally the slab on the way of conveyance in the line of rolling in which the blooming and hot rolling continue.
