A roll charged with a heat transfer medium includes a heater which is easy to replace and measures by which the temperature in the axial direction of the roll can be kept uniform during operation. A hollow portion of the roll, which can be opened to the atmosphere, is located at a central axial portion of the roll. The heater is a rod-shaped heater and extends along the central longitudinal axis of the hollow portion. Metal having a low melting point is provided between the heater and an inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion. A heat transfer medium is charged in the hollow portion at the periphery thereof. The heat transfer medium may contact a circumferential part of the heater. In addition, a spiral groove or fin may be provided on an internal surface of the hollow of the portion of the roll body that is charged with the heat transfer medium.

An apparatus for pre-processing a stainless steel to be cold-rolled comprising: annealing and pickling means having a mechanical descaling device and a pickling device; rolling means consisting of rolls arranged to be two or more stages; and means capable of applying liquid lubricant at a thin thickness to a work roll of the rolling means.

Apparatus for pre-processing stainless steel strip intended to be

A method of pre-processing a stainless steel strip to be cold-processed comprising the steps of: annealing and pickling the stainless steel strip after completing hot rolling; applying liquid lubricant with a thickness of 1 .mu.m or less to the surfaces of rolls before the rolls come into contact with the stainless steel strip; and rolling the stainless steel strip at a reduction ratio exceeding 5%. An apparatus for pre-processing a stainless steel to be cold-rolled comprising: annealing and picking means having a mechanical descaling device and a pickling device; rolling means consisting of rolls arranged in two or more stages; and means capable of applying liquid lubricant in a thin layer to a work roll of the rolling means.

Method for pre-processing stainless steel strip intended to be

A process of producing cold rolled stainless steel strip, according to the invention, includes preliminary treatment for hot rolled stainless steel strip, in which preliminary treatment, hot rolled stainless steel strip is, at first, treated through annealing and picking process and is subsequently subject cold rolling without introducing rolling mill lubricant at a reduction of more than 5%. The process of preliminary treatment for preparation of cold rolling is useful for producing high surface brightness cold rolled stainless steel strip, which can achieve both of satisfactory quality and high efficiency.

A laser beam machining device employs a laser for generating a laser beam, a chopper device for intermittently blocking the laser beam for intermittently irradiating the laser beam onto the surface of a work, and an assisting gas discharge device for injecting assisting gas toward the point, on which the laser beam is irradiated. By locating the chopper upstream of the primary condenser and away from the assist gas flow, the assist gas to be discharged toward the predetermined point of the work, on which the laser beam is irradiated, is not disturbed which otherwise would cause turbulence to degrade the precision of the laser beam machining operation. In addition, the assisting gas discharging device is so arranged as to direct the assist gas flow substantially along the axis of the laser beam to be irradiated onto the work surface.

A method and an apparatus for rolling metal strips by a tandem cold rolling mill. The strip is periodically swung in its width directions at a location upstream of the tandem rolling mill, to bring the strip into contact with rolls of the tandem cold rolling mill over areas of the rolls as widely as possible, thereby preventing irregular wears of the rolls to make it possible to produce defect-free metal strips.

In a method of continuously annealing and pickling steel strips successively transferred through a continuous annealing apparatus including heating and cooling zones and a pickling apparatus, annealing the steel strips is effected in reducing atmosphere and thereafter pickling is effected at least by nitric acid electrolytic treatment. In an apparatus for continuously annealing and pickling steel strips, including a continuous annealing furnace and a pickling apparatus, the continuous annealing furnace consists of vertical furnaces capable of advancing a steel strip in a manner substantially repeating upward and downward movements alternately in substantially vertical directions and the pickling apparatus comprises at least a nitric acid electrolytic cell. In another aspect, continuous annealing furnace consists of one pass furnace capable of advancing the steel strip only once and forming a high temperature heating zone and a high temperature cooling zone of the annealing furnace, and vertical furnaces respectively forming a lower temperature heating zone and a low temperature cooling zone and capable of advancing a steel strip in a manner substantially repeating upward and downward movements alternately in substantially vertical directions. The one pass furnace is horizontal or vertical.
