An apparatus and process for the dry removal of the scale from the surface of a metal product comprising at least one heating area that does not reduce the specific surface of the material to be treated and does not cause oxidation, at least one reducing area for performing the reaction between a specific reducing gas (normally hydrogen) and at least the scale, at least one cooling area for cooling the metal product, means for heating the metal product, means for heating the reducing gas, means for controlling the fluid dynamics of the boundary layer produced by the flow of said reducing gas over the surface of the metal product, means for removing the reaction products front the reducing gas after the reaction, means for cooling the metal product, and means for removing the reaction products from the treated surface of the metal product.

Apparatus and process for the dry removal of the scale found on the surface of the metal products

A welding device for butt welding of bars as well as blooms, slabs, or billets produced by continuous casting, includes a roller conveyor for simultaneous conveying of at least two bars along a rolling line, jaws for gripping the bars, and electric power supplies which are set in contact with the surfaces of the two bars for carrying out a welding operation. The electric power supplies are provided with respective positioning and actuating devices controlled to actuate them independently from one another during setting in contact and detachment of the bars.
