Abstract: A method and an apparatus for severing wire windings which are uncooled and not tolerance-adhering from the beginning and end of a rolling line conveyed over a Stelmor plant or comparable wire winding conveying systems, wherein initially a number of the front windings of the rolled strand are counted and in accordance with a predetermined number of windings these windings are severed as front crop from the finished wire. Subsequently, the severed windings are accelerated on a first conveyor and the following finished wire is decelerated, so that the cut location is widened during transport.

Abstract: A method of rolling strip in a strip rolling train having at least two roll stands, each roll stand having horizontally adjustable upper and lower work rolls, wherein the work rolls act alone as a two-high stand or each work roll is supported directly or through an intermediate roll by a back-up roll, or in a reversing stand in which at least two passes are rolled, wherein the strip is subjected in the roll stands to a constitutional change, and wherein adjusting elements act on the strip for imparting a profile and surface evenness to the strip. The method includes presupposing in at least one strip area an intended surface unevenness shape over a width of the strip, determining an actually achieved surface unevenness shape in the strip area and comparing the actually achieved surface unevenness shape to the presupposed unevenness shape, computing a difference between the unevenness shapes, and operating the adjusting elements such that the difference is minimized.

Abstract: A method of rolling steel sections, particularly in a universal section mill, wherein X-shape rolling and H-shape rolling are carried out alternatingly and specifically directed cooling of the steel section is carried out during rolling. During roughing rolling in a X-shaped groove a cooling water channel is formed at each side of the steel section at the connecting locations between web and flange. The roll cooling water flowing off from the H-shaped rolls is concentrated in the cooling water channels. An additional quantity of water may be added either without pressure or in the form of spray water to the concentrated roll cooling water.
