Abstract:
PURPOSE:To decrease fishtails without promoting the width reduction in leading and tail end parts by press-forming the part apart by more than a specific distance from the end face to narrow width then applying broadside screw down and thickness screw down in the end parts in the longitudinal direction of a slab. CONSTITUTION:A pair of press heads 1 for broadside screw down moved forward and backward in the width direction by means of oil hydraulic cylinders 2 are provided to the front stage of rolling mills. The part apart by a distance (l) from the end face E of a slab S is press-formed to narrow width by the heads. However, the end part S1 is not subjected to edging. Namely, the distance (l) is at least the distance at which at least said end part S1 can retain the original shape. Then, the end part E forms the shape wherein the central part in the width direction overhangs. Next, when such slab S is rolled with rolling mills of the rear stages, the end part S1 forms a fishtail, but it is decreased considerably as it is offset by the overhanging effect of the central part in the width direction. Since the end part S1 is not press-formed, the width reduction hardly occurs.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce crop losses by cutting the front and rear ends of a slab into projected and recessed plane shaped respectively and edging the slab between a pair of anvils opened and closed periodically. CONSTITUTION:A gas cutter provided with a computer for controlling the speeds in both casting and width directions is disposed at the outlet side of a continuous casting machine. The front and rear ends of a slab are previously cut into projected and recessed shaped respectively to form a continuously cast slab 2 by synchronizing the speeds of cutter in both directions with a continuous casting speed. Anvils 1, 1 are periodically opened and closed at an amplitude 2(a) and a frequency (f) by synchronizing their motions with the casting speed, and the minimum distance between them is set to a prescribed width W1. The slab 2 is fed between the anvils 1, 1 and is pressed by a whole length edging system. In this way, the cut off part of the front and rear ends of slab 2 are reduced, that is, the crop loss is reduced.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent generation of a fish-tail in a slab receiving a rolling process by rolling the edge of a slab in the direction of its breadth so as to reduce the breadth, and at the same time, by rolling the slab so as to give a gradually reduced rolling reduction to the breadth of the part continuing to said edge toward the longitudinal middle zone. CONSTITUTION:An edge of a slab 1 is rolled in the direction of breadth by a press die 6 parallel to the end plane of the slab 1. At the same time, the part continuing to said parallelly rolled edge toward the longitudinal middle zone, is rolled by a tapered press die which gives a breadth reduction gradually diminished toward the middle zone. By the present method, a tail end restrainer becomes needless, a preliminary formation can be performed without generating laps, and the generation of a fish-tail by a rolling process is prevented. The shape of the die 6 to be employed by the present edging process is selected so as to place the neutral point of deformation of the slab 1 by a press work behind the border between the parallel zone 6a and the tapered zone 6b.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing crop losses during slab and ingot rolling concerns the formation of a slab ingot having a specially configured or shaped butt end and optionally a head end as well. A special shape is formed by machining, forging or preferably by casting. The special shape at the butt end is imparted during casting by a specially shaped bottom block or starter block. The special shape of the bottom block is imparted to the cast ingot butt end. The specially shaped butt end of a slab shaped ingot is generally rectangular in shape and has longitudinally outwardly extending, enlarged portions, which slope downwardly toward a depressed central valley region. The lateral sides of the enlarged end portions and the depressed valley region carry transversely extending, tapered or curved edges. A similar shape may be imparted to the head end of the ingot at the conclusion of a casting run through the use of a specially shaped hot top mold or by way of machining or forging the cast head end. During subsequent hot rolling in a reversing roughing mill, the specially shaped slab ingot minimizes the formation of overlap and tongue so as to improve material recovery by reducing end crop losses and to increase rolling mill efficiency by increasing metal throughput in the mill.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of forming a taper body excellent in characteristics and quality at a low cost and to provide a rolling device used therefor. SOLUTION: With the rolling device capable of forming and opening of the gap for rolling, a base stock 35a the diameter of the cross section of which is stepwise changed in the axial direction is formed and a taper-shaped manufactured article 35b is formed from this base stock 35a by die forging. Thus, as compared to a case where the manufactured article 35b is formed only by die forging from a base stock the diameter of the cross section of which is uniform in the axial direction, the reduction of volume at the die forging is small and the manufactured article 35b is formed in a short time.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce the local wears of the sliding parts of guides and cylinders, etc. at the time of reducing the width of a slab by conforming the center of a pressing force applied to a press tool to the loading center of said tool used for pressing the slab. CONSTITUTION:The position of a press tool 16 is detected by a position detector 52, the amplitude of the expansion and contraction of tool 16 and the method of expansion and contraction of the tool 16, and inputted to a computing unit 50. The computing unit 50 computes the amount of deviation between the center of loading and that of a pressing force. The press tool 16 moves when the driving force of a motor 46 is transmitted to a screw shaft 30. The position of tool 16 is detected by the detector 52 and is fed back to a controller 48, to stop the tool 16 at the position where the loading center coincides with the center of pressing force. Thereafter, the positions of tools 16, 16 in the sheet-width direction of slab are set by a sheet-width adjusting part 76 to reduce the width of slab 10 by expanding and contacting the tools 16, 16.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the production of an extrusion billet for obtaining a magnesium alloy material which has a fine crystal structure and excellent mechanical properties. SOLUTION: The method for producing an extrusion billet includes the steps of: preparing a plate-like or block-like starting material comprising a magnesium alloy; subjecting the starting material to the thermoplastic processing at a temperature of 250°C or lower and at a rolling reduction rate of 70% or more to introduce a strain into the material without causing dynamic recrystallization; milling the thermoplastic-processed material to produce a powdery material; and compressing the powdery material to produce a powder compact billet.
