Abstract:
Method for producing an aluminum foil with integrated security features. An aluminum foil is rolled down to a thickness of less than 150 μm in a plurality of cold rolling passes, texturing that runs in the direction of rolling being induced simultaneously on both surface sides of the foil. In a final cold rolling pass, the foil is fed to a working roller pair, in which, on at least one roller surface, the relief-like surface structuring generated in the rolling direction by grinding was reduced on the basis of contrast and motif in a region of 10 to 50% relative to the average surface roughness to form a motif for a security feature that is transferred to the surface side of the foil facing the roller surface. The generated aluminum foil has a glossy appearance on both sides such that the security feature rises clearly due to its dull appearance.

This device comprise a hollow body, extending over at least part of the width of the roll or the metal strip, and a tube, arranged in the hollow body and extending in the direction of the width of the roll or the metal strip, wherein the hollow body is divided in the direction of the width of the roll or the metal strip into a number of chambers, and the tube comprises openings for introducing cooling medium into the chambers of the hollow body, and the chambers respectively comprise an opening for the flowing out of cooling medium from the hollow body. Furthermore, according to the invention the chambers, respectively, comprise a channel, formed between the inner wall of the hollow body and the tube, for conducting cooling medium from the openings of the tube to the opening for the outflow of cooling medium from the hollow body, wherein the flow cross-section of the channel narrows art least at its downstream end.
Abstract:
A spraying method and device for a plant for rolling a strip, the plant having at least one rolling stand. The device includes: a pair of working rolls between which the strip runs; a plane perpendicular to the running direction of the strip; at least one pair of supporting rolls for the working rolls; two pairs of bearing rolls, each of the pairs having the rolls thereof substantially symmetrically arranged on either side of the working rolls in a plane substantially parallel to the strip so as to transfer, to the working rolls, a force for maintaining the working rolls in a predetermined position relative to the supporting roll; a support for the bearing rolls in the form of two rows including a plurality of bearing rollers mounted side by side; one or more nozzle systems for spraying at least a portion of the strip and at least a portion of the rolls. At least one of the nozzle systems is capable of directly spraying at least a portion of the working rolls on either side of the plane that is perpendicular to the running direction of the strip.
Abstract:
A method of forming a metal pattern is disclosed. In the method, a metal layer is formed on a base substrate. A photoresist composition is coated on the metal layer to form a coating layer. The photoresist composition includes a binder resin, a photo-sensitizer, a mercaptopropionic acid compound and a solvent. The coating layer is exposed to a light. The coating layer is partially removed to form a photoresist pattern. The metal layer is patterned by using the photoresist pattern as a mask.
Abstract:
To accomplish the object of providing a method of and an apparatus for optimally cooling the rolls of a roll stand, where energy considerations, such as the minimization of necessary cooling fluid flow and cooling fluid pressure, and incident design and manufacturing costs, must be taken into account, the invention proposes that the rolls are cooled with a combination of high- and low-pressure cooling.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an apparatus (1) for cooling a roll (2) in a roll stand and provided with at least one spray beam (3) supplied with a cooling medium, especially water, with spray nozzles (4) for spraying cooling medium onto the surface of the roll (2), and that extends generally parallel to a spray beam axis (5) extending parallel to the roll axis (6). In order to be able to adjust the spray beam for changed roll diameters, the invention provides that the spray beam (3) is mounted directly or indirectly on a lever (7) that can pivot around a rotation axis (8) that is parallel to the roll axis (6), and the spray beam axis (5) and the rotation axis (8) are spaced from each other.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for rolling milling material, especially for hot wide-strip rolling in a finishing train or a continuous casting and rolling plant, in which a lubricant is applied directly to the surface of the working rollers or indirectly to the surface of the support rollers, the lubricant then being transferred to the surface of the working rollers, before the milling material is fed into the roller gap of a roll stand. A highly adhesive lubricant film forms on the surface of the working roller, said lubricant film resulting in a reduction of friction in the roller gap as an intermediate layer between the roller and the milling material. According to the inventive method, the lubricant is applied along the entire length of the milling material such that the lubricating effect comes into play along the entire length of the milling material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and to an installation for producing a metal strip. The aim of the invention is to make sure that the metal strip formed in the casting installation passes through the first cooling and grain texturing phase substantially without being subjected to stress and without effects on the subsequent installations. To this end, the molten bath is fed to a two-roll casting device and a cast metal strip is formed in the casting gap between two casting rolls whose rotational axes lie in a horizontal plane (two-roll casting method), the thickness of the cast strip ranging between 1.0 to 20 mm, preferably between 1.5 to 12 mm. The cast metal strip that freely emerges downwards from the two-roll casting installation is directly deflected from the vertical casting direction to a substantially horizontal transport direction. The metal strip is taken up and conveyed in a controlled manner by means of a first drive roll stand that operates at a first transport speed. The metal strip is then stored for a short time in a strip accumulator, and is then taken up and conveyed by means of a second drive roll stand that operates at a second transport speed. In a final step, the metal strip is coiled up to a bundle under pretension.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for cooling hot-rolled rolling stock, wherein, for cooling preferably both sides of hot-rolled wide strip, a heat exchange is carried out between the rolling stock and the cooling medium by a pressurized water flow through a sequence of a pressure chamber and a convection chamber, and wherein the rolling stock is cooled by a targeted control of the intensity of the forced convection. The method utilizes a combination of a cooling unit between stands and an additional roll cooling unit in the area of the roll gap at the exit side thereof using a directed pressurized water flow along a circumferential portion of the roll body of each work roll, wherein the cooling unit between stands and the roll cooling unit each operate with contactless sealing means for the surface of the rolling stock and the surface of the roll body.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preventing material to be briquetted from sticking to a roll surface of a briquetting roll press. To be more specific, a sticking of the material to be briquetted to and a sintering of the material on the roll surface are to be prevented. To this end, a lubricant emulsion which is atomized with a gas is sprayed onto the roll surface.
