According to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a hot-rolled steel plate, a roughing process for reducing a thickness of a continuously cast slab is performed to obtain a sheet bar, and a finishing rolling process for rolling the sheet bar is effected to produce a hot-rolled steel plate having a predetermined plate thickness. After cooling down, the hot-rolled steel plate is then wound. A pair of dies each of which has a tapered portion on an input side and a parallel portion on an output side are used in at least part of the roughing process. Further, before performing plate thickness pressing to a material in a plate thickness direction by using the dies , at least one of a front end and a rear end of the material is pressed in a widthwise direction to be pre-formed.

The invention provides a method of splicing rolled plates with each other, including the steps of (a) positioning a rear end portion of a leading rolled plate above a front end portion of a following rolled plate by a distance slightly greater than a diameter of a cylindrical cutter having a rotation axis extending in a width-wise direction of the leading and following rolled plates, the positioning being carried out while the leading and following rolled plates are being transferred, (b) cutting an upper surface of the front end portion of the following rolled plate with the cylindrical cutter only within a region at which the following rolled plate is to be spliced with the leading rolled plate, the cutting being carried out in a direction F in which the rolled plates are being transferred, (c) blowing a first reducing flame to the upper surface being cut from above the upper surface in the direction F while the step (b) is being carried out, (d) cutting a lower surface of the rear end portion of the leading rolled plate only within a region at which the leading rolled plate is to be spliced with the following rolled plate, the cutting being carried out in a direction R opposite to the direction F after the step (b) has been completed, (e) blowing a second reducing flame to the lower surface being cut from below the lower surface in the direction R while the step (d) is being carried out, and (f) splicing the leading rolled plate with the following rolled plate by compression at the region after the step (d) has been completed, the reducing flames being blown to both the upper surface of the front end portion of the following rolled plate and the lower surface of the rear end portion of the leading rolled plate until the splicing are completed. The invention also provides an apparatus for carrying out the above mentioned method.

A rolling mill includes a roll barrel having a straight region disposed at the middle thereof, sub-crown control regions disposed at both ends thereof, and main-crown control regions disposed between the straight region and the sub-crown control regions. The roll barrel has an outer surface having a bus bar which is a straight line inclined to a longitudinal axis of the roll barrel in the straight region, steep convex and concave curved shapes in the main-crown control regions, and gentle convex and concave curved shapes in the sub-crown control regions. The roll barrel has both ends having a diameter approximately equal to each other. The roll provides a large degree of freedom in designing curves to be applied to an outer surface of a roll barrel with the result that a larger crown control can be performed, and has a small number of factors for a vibration of a plate. The roll shift type rolling mill in accordance with the invention decreases an irregularity in plate thickness distribution at ends of a plate even when a plate having a width larger than specific maximum plate width is to be rolled.

Roll for rolling mill and roll-shift type rolling mill

A rolling mill is disclosed in which, in order to improve the quality of rolled products, a work roll with a small diameter is used and is offset by a predetermined distance from the reduction line and the horizontal bending force is exerted to the small-diameter work roll through a horizontal intermediate roll from a sectionalized roll so that flatness of a workpiece being rolled is controlled. The small-diameter work roll, the horizontal intermediate roll and the sectionalized roll are so arranged that their axes are maintained in coplanar relationship with each other. Therefore the axes of these rolls can be automatically aligned with a high degree of precision.

Rolling mill

The present invention considerably improves the rolling mill in the flatness control function, by arranging either of a pair of upper and lower work rolls as a small-diameter roll, offsetting the small-diameter work roll by a required distance in the rolling direction, providing an intermediate roll between the small-diameter work roll and a backup roll, letting a vertical bending force act on the upper and lower work rolls and the intermediate roll, and letting a horizontal bending force act on the small-diameter work roll.

Multistage rolling mill with flatness control function

A rolling process wherein a pair of working rolls are driven at different peripheral velocities so that the peripheral velocity ratio may be varied, and the peripheral velocity ratio is so controlled that the rolling torque of each of the working rolls may be within a maximum tolerable torque which the working roll may transmit, thereby reducing the rolling force.
