  • Publication number: 20240189881
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a cold-rolled steel sheet in which the method uses a transverse-type full-width heating device that heats a steel sheet over an entire area in a width direction of the steel sheet, and a cold rolling mill that rolls the steel sheet and that is arranged on a downstream side in a rolling direction with respect to the transverse-type full-width heating device, the method includes: heating the steel sheet by using the transverse-type full-width heating device in such a manner that temperatures of end portions in the width direction becomes higher than a temperature of a central portion in the width direction of the steel sheet on an entry side of the cold rolling mill.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20240165683
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a cold-rolled steel sheet in which the method uses a full-width heating device that heats a steel sheet over an entire area in a width direction of the steel sheet, an edge heating device that heats end portions in the width direction of the steel sheet, and a cold rolling mill that rolls the steel sheet and that is arranged on a downstream side in a rolling direction with respect to the full-width heating device and the edge heating device, the method includes: heating the steel sheet by using the full-width heating device and the edge heating device in such a manner that temperatures of the end portions in the width direction becomes higher than a temperature of a central portion in the width direction of the steel sheet on an entry side of the cold rolling mill.

  • Publication number: 20230080012
    Abstract: A cold-rolled steel strip manufacturing facility includes: a joining device configured to join a trailing end of a preceding steel strip and a leading end of a following steel strip to form a joined steel strip; a looper configured to store the joined steel strip; a heating device configured to heat a joint portion between the preceding steel strip and the following steel strip over an entire width direction; and a cold rolling mill configured to cold-roll the joined steel strip for which the joint portion was heated by the heating device, wherein the heating device is switchable between an output state and a non-output state, and during a period in which the joint portion passes through the heating device, is switched to the output state.
