The invention relates to a method for rolling a metallic material using at least one rolling stand (1), wherein two mounting elements (2, 3) for two cooperating work rolls (4, 5; 6, 7) are arranged in the rolling stand (1). In order to enable the flexible
processing of different rolling tasks, the invention provides that two sets of work rolls (4, 5;6, 7) with large and small diameters are provided, wherein an adjustment
system (8) for applying a rolling force to a
work roll is arranged in the rolling stand (1), the adjustment
system (8) comprising a first
piston-cylinder unit (9) with a large
piston diameter (DK1) and a second
piston-cylinder unit (11) with a small piston
diameter (DK2), selectively carrying out the following rolling processes: a)
skin rolling of a first metallic material using the work rolls (4, 5) with first
work roll diameter (D1), wherein the rolling force is applied by the second piston-cylinder unit (11); b)
skin rolling of a second metallic material using the work rolls (6, 7) with second
work roll diameter (D2), wherein the rolling force is applied by the first piston-cylinder unit (9);c) Cold rolling of the second metallic material using the work rolls (6, 7) with a second work roll diameter (D2), wherein the rolling force is applied by the first piston-cylinder unit (9). The invention further relates to a rolling stand for carrying out this process.
