Abstract
In a sizing rolling method carried out by installing at least 3 sets of 4-roll rolling mills in series, a central angle &thgr; of the perfect circle forming section of each rolling roll in a first path is set to less than 15°. The central angle &thgr; is set to at least 45° in a third path and the central angle &thgr; is set to at least 30° in a second path B. The groove of each rolling roll is arranged such that each escape section is composed of the tangential line of an arc formed by the perfect circle forming section. A roller guide having four guide rollers is installed on the inlet side of the second path and the free surface of a workpiece is held and guided by the guide rollers. An angle &agr; of the V-shaped groove of each guide roller is set similar to the angle (90°+&thgr; ) between straight lines forming the escape section of the adjacent rolling rolls in the first path. With this technology, even if a wire has a diameter of 7.0 mm or less, an excellent surface property can be obtained while securing a large size free range.
