Wandering of a strip in a hot rolling line is prevented by the provision of a hot roller leveler and a side guide between a finishing mill and a coiler. At least one of the leveler rolls is made angularly adjustable in a horizontal plane and/or in a vertical plane with respect to the strip.

Method for preventing wandering of strip under roller leveling in hot

A hot strip coiling mandrel has a mechanism for engaging a plurality of equally circumferentially divided drum segments about a core shaft and for moving the core shaft or the drum segments relatively axially to thereby radially expand and collapse the drum defined by the segments. Top marks caused at the leading coil end of a hot strip by the use of such a mandrel are prevented by the provision of a buffer between the core shaft and each of the drum segments.
