摘要:
The present invention provides continuous casting-milling equipment and method capable of switching between continuous and batch milling, which increase the process yield rate by reducing the portion which is unavoidably processed as scrap, when switching casting or at an initial stage. The continuous casting-milling equipment comprises: a casting unit; at least two rolling units; and a coil box arranged between the rolling units. The continuous casting-milling method comprises: a casting step for producing a slab; a first rolling step which reduces the thickness of the slab; a cutting step of cutting a predetermined distance from a front end portion of the slab at the initial stage of casting; a passing step of passing the continuously supplied slab through the coil box; and a second rolling step which reduces the thickness of the passed slab.

An apparatus and method for rolling aluminum sheet uses a texture roll to roll the sheet while is it hot and has reduced yield strength. The texture rolling may be used to remediate defects in the sheet at a variety of stages in rolling, and may facilitate subsequent rolling stages.

A method is disclosed for making compacted graphite cast iron of improved strength and hardness while retaining excellent thermal conductivity, low shrinkage, and excellent damping characteristics. A ferrous alloy is melted consisting essentially of, by weight, 3-4% C, 2-3% Si, .2-.7% Mn, 25-.4 Mo, .5-3.0% Ni, up to .002% sulfur, up to .02% phosphorus, and impurities or contaminants up to 1.0%, with the remainder being essentially iron. The melt is subjected to a graphite modifying agent to form compacted graphite upon solidification. The solidified casting is heat treated by austempering and quenching to produce an iron having a matrix of bainite and austenite.

Metal work rolls texturized with engineered textures can impart desired impression patterns on metal strips. Engineered textures can be controlled with particularity to achieve desired surface characteristics (e.g., lubricant trapping, coefficient of friction, or surface reflectivity) on work rolls and metal strips, and to allow for impression patterns to be imparted on metal strips during high percentages of reduction of thickness (e.g., greater than about 5% or greater than about 15%, such as around 30%-55%). Engineered textures can be applied by focusing energy beams at specific points of an outer surface of a work roll to impart texture elements on the work roll. In some cases, an engineered texture element that can be used to generate a generally circular impression element can be generally elliptical in shape, having a length that is shorter than its width by a factor dependent on the reduction of thickness percentage.
