  • Patent number: 7585137
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting tool of the type that comprises, on one hand, a basic body (1) having an insert seat, and on the other hand a cutting insert (2), which is detachably connected in the insert seat and rigidly secured in the same by means of connecting surfaces (3, 5) of serration type, one (3) of which forms said insert seat and comprises first and second ridges (18, 19), which extends perpendicularly to each other. According to the invention, at least the connecting surface that forms the insert seat (3) is formed with, on one hand, two spaced-apart surface fields or sets of a plurality of mutually parallel, first ridges (18A, 18B), which are arranged in extension of each other, and on the other hand one or more second, transverse ridges (19), which are located between the two sets of first ridges (18A, 18B). Furthermore, the invention also relates to a basic body of a cutting tool, as well as a cutting insert as such.

  • Patent number: 7582046
    Abstract: A combi roll that comprises a roll shaft having a rotationally symmetrical basic shape defined by a central axis, as well as a number of rings in the form of roll rings and spacer rings, each one of which has planar end surfaces that extend between outer and inner, circular limiting edgelines, and that serve as contact surfaces against adjacent rings. At least one of the end surfaces of a ring, preferably a spacer ring, is limited by an inner edgeline, the diameter of which is greater than the outer diameter of the roll shaft. In such a way, the area of the contact surface is reduced while increasing the surface pressure, at the same time as the force transmitting ability of the surface increases by the fact that the radial distance to the center axis is increased.

  • Patent number: 7572215
    Abstract: A combi roll comprising a roll shaft and a roll ring mounted on the same against which at least one other ring is axially pressed, such as a spacer ring, the contact surfaces of the rings pressed against each other serving as torque-transferring friction joints. In the individual interface between two end contact surfaces there is distributed a great number of small grains of a material harder than the hardest material of anyone of the rings, the grains having the purpose of partially penetrating into each one of the contact surfaces so as to increase the torque-transferring ability of the friction joint.

  • Patent number: 7568864
    Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining, including a replaceable cutting insert and a basic body. The basic body includes a rear fixing part, a front supporting part having an insert seat, and a tightening part situated over the support part, and spaced-apart from the front supporting part by a first gap and from the rear fixing part by a second gap. The tightening part is connected to the basic body via a joint. The joint is formed of at least one elastically resilient material portion and has an axis around which the tightening part is pivoted in order to press the cutting insert against the insert seat by a front finger. The rear fixing part includes an internal channel for feed of a fluid in the forward direction through the basic body.

  • Patent number: 7550050
    Abstract: A method of cooling strip or wire products in which, subsequent to being annealed, the product is cooled to a temperature of about 20-50° C. below its oxidation temperature. The product is wound around a drum immediately downstream of an annealing path so that the product lies in mutually juxtaposed turns on the drum. It is thereafter unwound from the drum after a number of turns. The number of turns is such that the product is cooled to a desired temperature. The drum has a diameter that exceeds the diameter at which the product will be influenced mechanically by plastic deformation.
