Abstract: A rolling process for long solid-section products includes the steps of rolling stock through a plurality of rolling mill stands, the rolled stock being subjected to a tensile load, between the plurality of stands, that generates a single-axial deformation greater than 0.1 in the rolling direction, and is also deformed by compression between the rolls of at least one of the rolling mill stands, thereby achieving a reduction in the cross section area of at least 5%, preferably of between 5 and 50%. A rolling mill, in which a plurality of stands is connected by spacer elements designed to offset the tensile load; a rolling mill, in which a plurality of stands is connected by elements designed to offset the overturning moment generated by the tensile load; and a rolling mill, in which the aforesaid rolling stands maintain a non-slip condition.

Abstract: A contactless braking system and a related method for decelerating long products (bi) exiting from a rolling mill (100). At least one braking module (6) includes a multiplicity of electromagnets (60) in a series along a braking line (1b). Each magnet has an open magnetic core (61) and a coil (62) around the magnetic core (61). The open magnetic core (61) has a gap formed by two opposed poles. The electromagnets (60) are configured so that the gap of each open magnetic core (61) lets contactlessly slide therethrough each long product (bi) exiting from the rolling mill (100). A braking magnetic force (Fd) is exerted on the long product (bi) contactlessly sliding through the gap. The braking magnetic force (Fd) is opposite to the direction of movement of the long product (bi) exiting the rolling mill (100).

Abstract: An accessory holder includes a housing, within which an accessory can be replaced during use, and includes a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, a front anterior wall, a front posterior wall arranged so that the front anterior and posterior walls are interposed between the first and the second lateral wall, and a base closing the housing on the lower side. The lateral and frontal walls and the base are independent elements each made as a single piece, detached from one another and connected to one another by an elastic member.

Abstract: A device for a holster of a firearm includes at least one sensor adapted to detect the presence of the firearm in the holster. The device is further configured to communicate with an external device, so that the presence or not of the firearm in the holster can be communicated to the external device. A movement sensor adapted to detect a movement of the holster can also be integrated in the holster.

Abstract: A winding machine (100; 100a, 100b) for wrapping strands of rolled material, such as a bar, a rod, wire or the like, around a reel into coils: a reel (50; 50a, 50b); a base flange (1) defining a first catching recess (6) intended to receive an end of a first strand (17; 17a, 17b); a first cover (9) movable between an open position leaving the first catching recess (6) exposed and a closed position covering the first catching recess (6) to form a closed passage for the end of the first strand (17; 17a, 17b) in order to secure the end of the first strand to the reel (50; 50a, 50b). At least a second element (2) defining a second catching recess (4); and at least a second cover (8) movable between an open position leaving the further catching recess (4) exposed and a closed position covering the second catching recess (4) to form a closed passage for the end of a second strand (27; 27a, 27b) in order to secure the end of the second strand to the reel (50; 50a, 50b).

Abstract: Treatment process for stainless steel bars, in particular a solution quenching, to be performed directly in-line downstream of the rolling mill which makes it possible to obtain a material devoid of intergranular corrosion and with microstructural characteristics suitable for subsequent uses. Advantageously, said process also makes it possible to improve the productivity of the entire rolling plant. The treatment is suitable to be performed on austenitic, ferritic, or austeno-ferritic stainless steel bars, Al—Cu alloy bars, Nickel alloy bars, and all other alloys requiring rapid cooling in order to prevent undesired phase precipitations. Prevention of intergranular corrosion obtained with the treatment process of the invention makes it possible to prevent problems, and relative costs, during surface treatment of the bars and those that could occur in final use.
