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:
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:
A method and apparatus for determining a non-linear cryogenic cooling profile (16) for the purpose of improving rolled product (5) uniformity based on at least one operating parameter in a cold rolling process; and generating the non-linear cryogenic cooling profile (16) as a function of throttling gas pressure.
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:
A thin cast strip is formed having at least one microstructure selected from the group consisting of polygonal ferrite, acicular ferrite, Widmanstatten, bainite and martinsite, a surface roughness of less than 1.5 microns Ra and a scale thickness of less than about 10 microns by applying a mixture of water and oil on the work rolls of the hot rolling mill, passing the thin cast strip at a temperature of less than 1100° C. through the hot rolling mill while the mixture of oil and water is applied to the work rolls, and shrouding the thin cast strip from the casting rolls through the hot rolling mill in an atmosphere of less than 5% oxygen to form the thin cast strip.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing metal strips and sheets involving the following method steps: pouring a strand, which is provided in the form (1) of thin slabs and which is comprised of carbon steel or special steel, into a casting machine (4) and rolling the cast product away from the casting heat. The aim of the invention is to utilize free capacities of existing installations, that is, installations not operating at full capacity, with which primary carbon steels are produced, in order to supplement other types of steel or to supplement cast products produced in another manner. To this end, the invention provides that, together with these first cast products (1), at least second cast products (2), which are produced in a second process route (II) from special steel if the first thin slabs are cast from carbon steel or are produced from carbon steel if the first thin slabs are cast from special steel, are rolled within a joint rolling program.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for cooling and/or lubricating rollers, in particular the working rollers (2, 3) on a rolling stand and a rolled strip (1), rolled between the above rollers and transported onwards, using water in the form of spray jets (4, 5) as cooling medium and oil, oil/air mix, oil/water mix, oil/water mix, oil/air/water mix or grease mixtures as lubricant. In order to improve the lubricating and cooling effects, a combined application of super-cooling the strip and roller surfaces and roller lubrication on the input side of the stand is disclosed, in which both media, water and lubricant, are separately fed to the rollers (2, 3) and the rolled strip and applied to the roller surface at different application points. Separate reservoirs for water and lubricant and separate lines to the spraying bar (11) for water and the spraying bar (12) for the lubricant are provided.
Abstract:
A cooling and lubricating device for rollers of a cold rolling mill with one or more roll stands for controlling strip tensile stress of the strip across the width by changing the effective roll barrel diameter and/or the roller lubrication with a controlled supply of rolling oil or emulsions. The supply is pressure-, quantity-, and/or temperature-controlled. Several nozzle beams are provided and assigned to individual rollers, respectively. The nozzle beams are connected to side shields of the roll housing. Spray nozzles are mounted in the nozzle beams and distributed across the entire roller width. The nozzle beams are moveable independently relative to the rollers transverse to the strip running direction and in planes parallel to the strip plane. Rotary and linear drives are connected to the nozzle beams for rotating the nozzle beams about the longitudinal axis and for moving them in the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A method for supplying rolling oil for cold rolling comprises the steps of: supplying emulsion rolling oil using a first rolling oil supply system supplying the emulsion rolling oil to a roll and a steel sheet in a recirculation mode and a second rolling oil supply system supplying the emulsion rolling oil to only the front and back surface of the steel sheet, wherein the emulsion rolling oil, which is added with an emulsifier of the same type and concentration with respect to the amount of oil as those of the emulsifier of the first supply system and controlled so that the average particle diameter of emulsion is larger than that of emulsion of the first supply system, is supplied from the second supply system; and joining the emulsion of the second supply system to the emulsion of the first supply system.
Abstract:
