    Abstract: A process for rolling a metal strip, in particular a steel strip, using a cold-rolling train, which is followed by an annealing section and a temper pass section, the outflow thickness, i.e., the setpoint thickness of the metal strip at the outflow from the cold-rolling train being determined as a function of the setpoint hardness and the setpoint thickness of the metal strip at the outflow from the temper pass section.

  • Patent number: 6220068
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the edge drop of a rolled strip in a roll train having one or more roll stands, at least one roll stand having actuators for reducing the edge drop, which are set as a function of the edge drop of the rolled strip running out of the roll stand and, if appropriate, of the edge drop of the rolled strip running into the roll stand, the edge drop being measured with at least one edge drop measuring device, and the values of the edge drop of the rolled strip being determined using a roll gap model, in order to set the actuators for reducing the edge drop at those points on the rolled strip at which the edge drop is not measured.
