An edging mill for section rolling has a pair of horizontal rolls, each horizontal roll including a pair of axially spaced horizontal roll segments supported by driven horizontal roll shafts. Eccentric rings are disposed between the two horizontal roll segments making up each horizontal roll and are rotatably mounted on the horizontal roll shaft. The eccentric rings are eccentric to the horizontal rolls. Web-restraining ring rolls each comprise a pair of web-restraining roll segments rotatably fitted over the periphery of the eccentric rings concentrically thereto. A web-restraining ring roll positioning device rotates the eccentric rings. While the horizontal rolls roll the flange edges of the section, the web-restraining ring rolls hold the web of the section therebetween. The position of the web-restraining ring rolls with respect to the horizontal rolls changes with the rotating angle of the eccentric rings. The position of the web-restraining ring rolls is adjusted according to the flange thickness of the section.

A roll forming apparatus has an elevatable base that is moved up and down by an elevating mechanism. Carriages are movably mounted on the base on both sides of a forming pass line. Each carriage carries several side rolls that are disposed along the forming pass line. A pair of side roll position adjusting mechanisms are coupled to each carriage. The pair of side roll position adjusting mechanisms move a carriage back and forth to form the desired forming pass. An elevating mechanism is provided to move up and down the base so that the level and inclination of the forming pass line is set as desired.

Roll forming apparatus

An apparatus for controlling axial positions of rolls of a rolling mill to obtain and maintain desired axial rigidity of the rolls. Pre-stress, the axial load and the axial position of each roll are detected. The detected signals are processed to determine the axial positions of the rolls to achieve the desired rigidity.

An immersion cooling apparatus includes a mechanism for immersing a hot metal pipe with the axis thereof directed horizontally in a cooling tank containing cooling liquid, and a mechanism for locking the immersed pipe in position in the cooling tank. While the locking mechanism is preventing the pipe from moving, a nozzle extending toward the interior of the pipe in the direction of the pipe axis injects cooling liquid into the pipe. The cooling liquid thus injected flows completely through the pipe so that the pipe being cooled is not injured or bent.
