A cold-rolling lube oil for metallic materials is composed of (a) 40-90 wt. % of a monoester of a specific aliphatic carboxylic acid and a particular aliphatic alcohol, (b) 0.5-10 wt. % of at least one of dimer acids and polymer acids of certain unsaturated higher fatty acids, (c) 10-25 wt. % of a fats and fatty oils, or 5-70 wt. % of an ester obtained by reacting remaining carboxyl or hydroxyl groups of a specific polyester with a specific alcohol or fatty acid, (d) 0.3-10 wt. % of a phenol-type antioxidant, and (e) 0.3-10 wt. % of a sulfur-type antioxidant.

A steel cord comprising at least 10 metal filaments and having an elongation of 0.015-0.045% under a load of 0.5 kgf, an elongation of 0.025-0.060% under a load 1 kgf, and an elongation of 0.060-0.114% under a load of 4 kgf, assuming that the elongation under a load of 0.05 kgf is 0%, has a soft twist construction and is suitable to be used in the carcass of a radial tire for truck and bus.

Novel cold rolling oils for steels comprise (A) 40 to 90 wt % of a monoester of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 12 to 22 carbon atoms and an aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, (B) 0.5 to 10 wt % of at least one of a dimer acid and a polymerized acid of a higher aliphatic unsaturated acid having 16 to 20 carbon atoms, (C) 2 to 40 wt % of a polyester having a molecular weight of 750 to 7500 and obtained by subjecting at least one of a dimer acid and a polymerized acid of a higher aliphatic unsaturated acid having 16 to 20 carbon atoms to condensation with a polyol under heating conditions and reacting remaining carboxyl groups of hydroxyl groups of the resulting polyester with an alcohol having 1 to 22 carbon atoms or an aliphatic acid having 12 to 22 carbon atoms, or 10 to 25 wt % of fat and fatty oils, and (D) 0.1 to 10 wt % of a polymer compound having nitrogen atoms in a molecule having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 1,000,000 such as a homopolymer or copolymer of monomers of the following general formula: ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents H or CH.sub.3, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 independently represent H or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The cold rolling oils for steels have good lubricity, surface cleanability with excellent heat resistance and oxidative stability.

A rolling mill comprises a pair of crown work rolls each having, at both ends of a drum, tapered ends ground at different taper angles, respectively. The work rolls are located one above the other with one tapered end of one work roll being in opposition to one tapered end having a different taper angle of the other work roll. The work rolls are movable in axial directions, such that edges of the plates are rolled by one tapered end of one work roll and a drum of the other work roll, and between tapered ends of both the work rolls. The method and rolling mills are capable of controlling the crown and edge drop reduction and simultaneously preventing local protrusions such as high spots and edge built-up to produce flat rolled plates having no difference in thickness and further capable of controlling the crown and the edge drop according to the material, thickness and width of the plates.

A continuous annealing apparatus for metal strips comprises cylindrical rolls each arranged at a location immediately before the metal strip passes about a hearth roll in a high temperature heat-treatment region of the apparatus. An axis of the cylindrical roll is finely tilted relative to the hearth roll within 0.15 degree in directions compensating for shifted distances of the metal strip on the hearth roll in response to every 50 mm shift of the strip, thereby preventing meandering and buckling of the metal strip caused by the hearth rolls.

Continuous annealing apparatus

In the operation of a continuous-process annealing furnace for a steel strip of a continuous length which is guided through the high-temperature zones of the furnace by the upper and lower hearth rolls in an alternate up and down vertical movement, each of the hearth rolls having an end-tapered or crowned configuration to correct the meandering of the running strip, each of the hearth rolls is coupled with one or a plural number of straightly cylindrical auxiliary rolls in contact with the strip at a position close to the hearth roll. By virtue of the installation of the auxiliary rolls, the phenomenon of wrinkling or buckling in the steel strip can be effectively prevented without causing meandering and the effect is more remarkable when specific relationships are held among the values of the diameters of the hearth roll and auxiliary roll and the position of the auxiliary roll relative to the hearth roll.
