Abstract
The invention relates to a method of rolling a strip-shaped in-process stock, in particular a metal strip, with which, a metal strip () is unwound from a coil () held on an unwinding reel (), is fed into a reversing rolling mill (), is rolled, and is wound-up onto a winding-up reel () to form a coil (), wherein the metal strip () is reversibly conveyed from the unwinding reel () to the winding-up reel () until a set thickness is reached and, with each passing of the reversing rolling mill (), is subjected to a reduction of thickness, and wherein an end of the metal strip () of a first coil is welded to a beginning of the metal strip () of the second coil, and the metal strip () of the first coil is temporarily stored in a strip store during a welding process, and finally, the in-process stock consisting of two lengths is reversibly rolled to a final dimension, and an additional length is welded to the end of the in-process stock before the last pass. The invention also relates to an installation for effecting the method and in which the unwinding reel () is used as a strip store for the reverse pass.
