Latest Patents
Shirou Osada holds a patent for a "Device and method for manufacturing hot-rolled sheet steel and device and method for sheet thickness pressing used for the device and method." This patent outlines a process that includes a roughing stage to reduce the thickness of a continuously cast slab, resulting in a sheet bar. Following this, a finishing rolling process is employed to create a hot-rolled steel plate with a specified thickness. After cooling, the steel plate is wound for further use. The invention utilizes a pair of dies, each featuring a tapered portion on the input side and a parallel portion on the output side, which are integral to the roughing process. Additionally, the method includes pre-forming the material in a widthwise direction before applying plate thickness pressing.
