An endless hot rolling material shear-joining method capable of threading hot rolling materials in a finish rolling process without strip breakage by controlling joining conditions for the hot rolling materials in an endless hot rolling process for high carbon steel, and an endless hot rolling plant therefor are disclosed. The shear-joining method for endless hot rolling materials of high carbon steel includes shear-joining high carbon steel metal bars comprising, in terms of weight %, 0.30% to 1.20% C, inevitable impurities, and balance Fe, or comprising 0.15% to 1.5% C containing at least one of Cr, Ni, Mo, V, Ti, W, B, Nb, and Sb, inevitable impurities, and balance Fe, such that a joined surface of the joined metal bars is formed to be inclined in a thickness direction of the metal bars, in a hot rolling plant by a joiner adapted to join the metal bars after overlapping tail part of a leading one of the metal bar and top part of a trailing metal bar.

Joining method of high carbon steel for endless hot rolling and the apparatus therefor

An upper shearing blade equipped with a protrusion of a triangle-columnar shape and a lower shearing blade equipped with a protrusion of the same shape are applied onto the overlapped portion of metal plates to be bonded, and then pressed into the metal plates in an oblique direction inclined with respect to the thickness direction by a stroke in such a range that the metal plates are not completely cut off. The operating loci of the upper, shearing blade and the lower shearing blade are overlapped each other so that one falls inside the other, and the sheared surfaces of the metal plates are formed into a bonded portion by plastic flow deformation. Therein, since a compressive force is applied onto the portions to be bonded, the portion being defined by the amount of overlap, and the portions are compressed to form a compressed portion after completion of bonding, the bonding strength enhances. Besides, since the protrusions on the shearing blades generate a pressing force pressing the sheared surfaces onto each other, by an effect of their inclined surfaces, a compression force applied onto the bonded portion further increases.

In a method for high frequency pulse welding and an apparatus therefor, a highly directive arc can be obtained by eliminating the effect of the inductance of the welding cable, which tends to make the high frequency electromagnetic pinch force large. In a method and an apparatus for high frequency pulse arc welding which is performed by generating an arc between an inconsumable electrode or a consumable electrode arranged near a portion of a base metal to be welded and the base metal with main pulse current, when the main pulse current is shifted from ON to OFF, a reverse pulse current having a polarity opposite to the polarity of the main pulse is supplied between the electrode and the base metal to improve the stiffness (directivity) of the arc by making the rising and falling edges of the pulses steeper. A rail-car and a nuclear power plant obtained by the method are also provided.

A trailing end of a preceding bar is arranged slantingly by an angle .theta. relative to a succeeding bar such that the lower edge of the leading end face of the succeeding bar is vertically shifted from the lower edge of the trailing end face of the preceding bar with the leading end face of the succeeding bar abutting against the trailing end face of the preceding bar. After that, the succeeding bar is vertically depressed by applying a predetermined force. Since the trailing end face is inclined by .theta. relative to the leading end face, the depression causes a relative slide between surfaces of both the end faces and, at the same time, a pressure P is also produced by the wedge effect, the pressure P causing a compression force and a plastic deformation between both the end faces. Oxide scales on the contact surfaces of both the end faces are peeled off due to the plastic deformation and the relative slide, so that the metal surfaces of the material are exposed to join the bars simultaneously in combination with the compression force and the plastic deformation caused by the pressure P. Thus, the bars are joined to each other in a short time for realization of continuous hot rolling.
