Method of hot rolling steel strip with deformed sections

A method and an apparatus for controlling a rolling mill which dampens a snake motion of a material being rolled is disclosed. According to this method and apparatus, an amount corresponding to the snake motion of the material being rolled is detected, and the value thus detected is added to a value corresponding to a differentiated value of said detected value. A control operation is applied to the material being rolled to thereby control the snake motion of the material.

Method and apparatus for controlling snake motion in rolling mills

A rolling mill stand in which at least one of the back-up rolls is given a convex crown around the roll body in an amount from 0.5 mm to 10 mm in diameter and at least one of the work rolls contacting the back-up rolls is given a concave crown around the roll body under the condition:

The present invention relates to a process for producing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet or strip, wherein the crystals of the steel sheet or strip have an orientation of {110}&lt;001&gt; and, further, the steel is easily magnetized in the rolling direction. Since the slab-heating temperature for a grain-oriented silicon steel is considerably higher than that for low carbon steel grades, coarsening of the crystal grains is likely to occur during heating, and the coarse crystal grains are elongated during hot-rolling in the rolling direction and remain in the hot-rolled steel sheet as portions of the grain-oriented silicon steel strip or sheet, where secondary recrystallization becomes incomplete, or as so-called streaks. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel hot-rolling technique capable of preventing the generation of streaks and capable of enhancing the magnetic flux density of the final product in terms of the B.sub.8 value even in a case where the tendency of streaks to form is small. The present invention is characterized in that during hot-rolling a silicon steel slap is subjected to at least one pass in which the axial lines of the top working roll and the bottom working roll are non parallel, and as a result of these working rolls being non parallel, the grain-oriented electromagnetic steel sheet or strip has no streaks and has a high magnetic flux density.

Process for producing a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet or strip

In a process for the production of a grain-oriented electromagnetic steel strip, a slab is heated, hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and subjected to a decarburization annealing and secondary recrystallization annealing steps. Grain coarsening is likely to occur during the high temperature heating and remain in the final product as streaks. The secondary recrystallization is, therefore, incomplete due to the streaks. In order to remove this disadvantage, the work piece is subjected to at least two rolling passes, wherein the high circumferential speed roll of one pair of the rolls and the low circumferential speed roll of another pair of the rolls are arranged on the same side of the work piece.

A tandem rolling mill train for rolling metal plate or sheet includes a plurality of crossed-roll type rolling mill stands. The work rolls on at least two of the crossed-roll type rolling mill stands are respectively slanted in opposite directions so that the widthwise shear deformation developed on the upstream crossed-roll type stand is reduced by the widthwise shear deformation caused on the downstream crossed-roll type stand.

A rolling mill includes at least one roll carrying a sleeve loosely on the barrel. The sleeve is inclined slightly by applying radially inward forces at two spaced positions along the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve to displace or to restrict displacement of the sleeve in the axial direction. The force applying points are independent of rotational direction of the sleeve, so that only one unit is needed even where there is reverse rotation. By controlling the relative value between the two forces, the mill can be given a powerful crown controlling capacity for workpieces of varying width, and the sleeve guiding unit is sufficiently durable to withstand high speed rolling during mass production.

Method of setting axial position of loosely carried sleeve in a rolling

A rolling mill includes at least one roll carrying a sleeve loosely on the barrel, and a sleeve-supporting-and-guiding unit the restricting point of which, i.e. the point at which force for axially shifting or restricting the shifting of the sleeve is applied on the sleeve, is located somewhere along the second-half semi-circular portion of the sleeve as viewed in the rotational direction of a complete turn of the sleeve ending at the loading point where the sleeve and the associated roll are subjected to loading pressure. The mill has a powerful crown-controlling capacity for workpieces varying widths, and the sleeve-supporting-and-guiding unit is sufficiently durable to withstand high speed rolling for mass production.
