Abstract
A process for operation of a two-stand reversing mill optimizes product yield and time productivity in rolling strip in two or more passes through the mill, by bringing, in each pass, a tail end of the rolled strip to but not into the first roll stand through which the remainder of the strip has last been passed, gripping said tail end on a reel serving as an exit reel, rolling the strip and coiling it onto said exit reel. In a next to last pass after the first pass, a portion, e.g. about 1 1/2 wraps, of the strip may be left on a reel serving as an entry reel to maintain strip tension.
