An apparatus for rolling of a powder metallurgical metallic workpiece is provided having a feeding device, a first induction heating apparatus in operable communication with a first RF generator and at least a first hot rolling mill. A process control device monitors at least one parameter of the first RF generator and outputs a signal. A method for continuous rolling of a metallic workpiece is also provided using the apparatus for rolling. The process control device signal can be used to monitor metallurgical properties of the workpiece and provide in-line evaluation of the workpiece.

The invention relates to a compact, flexible CSP facility (1,101,201,301,401) for continuous, semi-continuous and batch operation, comprising a casting machine, a roughing stand group (7,111,211) and a finishing stand group (12,118,218), wherein a coil store (8,113,213,501) which stores the rough strip or slab coming from the roughing stand is integrated in the roller table for batch or semi-continuous operation, wherein the coil store is deactivated in continuous operation. The coil store (8,113,213,501) is designed to hold an increased quantity of rough strips or slabs in such a way that two, three or more rough strips or slabs can be wound onto a coil to form jumbo coils.

A method for measuring and displaying the flatness of a rolled steel sheet is disclosed that includes the steps of measuring tension in the sheet at a plurality of locations on the surface of the sheet and determining a plurality of tension ranges into which the sensed tension level can fall. A color is associated with each of the tension ranges, and a representation of the sheet is produced that is made up of a plurality of regions, each region having a color corresponding to tension range into which the tension sensed at the corresponding location on the surface of the sheet falls. A device for carrying out this method is also disclosed.

Sets of tightening rollers form a feeder set (2) of tightening rollers and a delivery set (3) of tightening rollers. The feeder set of tightening rollers increases pulling action. The delivery set of tightening rollers decreases pulling action. Between the feeder set of tightening rollers and the delivery set of tightening rollers there can be a band-treatment device, e.g. rollers (4) / stretching devices. An independent claim is also included for a method for planishing / smoothing metal bands during rolling, aligning and / or stretching.

This invention relates to a rolling mill apparatus and a method of shape control of a rolled strip which enables satisfactory shape control even in extremely thin rolling. A rolling mill apparatus of this invention has a rolling mill, which rolls a rolled strip P between upper and lower work rolls; a shape detecting portion, which detects the degree of flatness of the rolled strip in the width direction of rolled strip which has been rolled by the rolling mill; a spray portion, having a plurality of spray nozzles arranged along the length direction of the upper and lower work rolls, which sprays the upper and lower work rolls with coolant C; and, a shape control portion, which adjusts the spray amount and / or temperature of the coolant C sprayed from the spray portion based on detected information from the shape detecting portion, to control the shape of the rolled strip P. The shape control portion has two control modes, in which the relationship of the detected information of the shape detecting portion and the spray amount and / or temperature of the coolant C sprayed from the spray portion are inversely proportional, and switches between these two control modes based on the strip thickness of the rolled strip P.

The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing a rolled metal strip from a molten metal by producing a cast metal strip in a strip casting device (5) and then rolling the undivided metal strip in a roll stand (18) to the final thickness of the strip. For controlling the course of the strip, strip guiding devices (19) are provided, especially upstream of the roll stand. In order to guarantee, with little components required, a stable insertion of the metal strip into the roll stand at the input side of the roll stand or at the site of rolling in accordance with the strip dimensions, the strip guidance interferes or is carried out at a distance of 1.0 to 10.0 times the strip width, preferably at a distance of 1.5 to 5.0 times the strip width, upstream of the roll stand.
