    摘要: A plant and process for the continuous production of hot-rolled steel strips with a minimum thickness of 0.3 mm is disclosed which includes a continuous casting device of thin or medium slabs with a thickness between 40 and 150 mm and a maximum width of at least 2100 mm followed by a roughing mill, a first induction furnace, a water descaler, a second induction furnace, a finishing mill, a cooling station, a cutting station and a winding station. A system for feeding a protective atmosphere containing ≤3% vol. oxygen is provided from the inlet of the second induction furnace to at least the third stand of the finishing mill. Between the continuous casting device and the roughing mill, an initial thermal conditioning and descaling section is provided having in sequence an induction edge heater, an induction heater for the rest of the slab surface and a water descaler.

    摘要: A method for revamping a starting rolling plant, for producing a final strip starting from a slab having a determinate starting thickness, including: at least one heating furnace configured to heat at least the slab to a determinate starting temperature; at least one reversible roughing stand configured to subject the slab to one or more rolling passes in order to obtain an intermediate rolled product; and a rolling train disposed operatively in line with the roughing stand, including at least one pre-finishing stand and a plurality of finishing stands and configured to reduce the thickness of the intermediate rolled product, until the final strip having a determinate final thickness is obtained.

    摘要: Systems and methods for reducing the thickness of a strip of an aluminum-based material are disclosed. The aluminum-based material is pre-heated before running the material through a warm rolling process. The systems include devices for pre-heating, which can include a heated payoff station or a dedicated pre-heating station that applies heated rolls or acts as a heated tunnel.

    摘要: A first steel strip and a second steel strip (7) are rolled in succession in at least one roll stand (1) of a cold rolling mill. A rolling pause, in which no steel strip is rolled, is provided between the rolling of the first and the second steel strip (7). The first steel strip s fed over a first path starting from a first pay-off reel (2), and the second steel strip (7) is fed over a second path starting from the first pay-off reel (2), or from a second pay-off reel different from the first pay-off reel (2). The first steel strip is not heated as it is fed to the rolling mill (1), whereas, by contrast, the second steel strip (7) is heated. The second path is longer than the first path.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the technical field of fabricating a metal composite strip, and specifically relates to a method for differential temperature rolling of composite strips based on actions of a friction roller and a device thereof. A method for differential temperature rolling of composite strips based on actions of a friction roller comprises steps of: S1: preparing a metal strip to be bonded, and performing surface treatment on the metal strip to be bonded; S2: frictionally heating the metal strip to be bonded by several sets of friction roller heating devices; measuring a surface temperature of the friction-heated metal strip to be bonded strip by a temperature detector; according to a measured temperature, adjusting a rotation speed of the friction roller in the friction roller heating devices; and S3: transporting the heated metal strip to be bonded to a rolling mill for rolling to obtain a metal composite strip. The invention adopts the friction roller heating devices in rolling process of the metal strip to be bonded, utilizes the friction heat generation effect of the high-speed rotating friction roller and the metal strip to be bonded, and generates different heat in the dissimilar metals by adjusting the speed of the friction roller, thereby generating different temperature rise to realize different temperature rolling of the metal composite strips.
