Abstract: In a method for winding hot-rolled strip (1), comprising —a decoiler mandrel (4), —at least one first pressing device (7), —at least one second pressing device (8), wherein the hot-rolled strip (1) is pressed from the first pressing device (7) and the second pressing device (8) toward the decoiler mandrel (4), the hot-rolled strip (1) is pushed or pulled away from the decoiler mandrel (4) between the first pressing device (7) and the second pressing device (8), thereby subjecting the hot-rolled strip (1) to a prebending step. The invention further relates to a device for winding hot-rolled strip (1).

Abstract: The invention concerns a rolling stand, a rolling train, and a method for rolling a stepped preprofiled metal strip. In order to guarantee that the metal strip is free of waviness in its longitudinal direction, even after individual thickness reduction of the steps, the invention proposes that the thickness reduction be carried out on a step-specific basis according to the following mathematical relationship: ?hi/hi=?hi+1/hi+1=?=constant, where ?hi represents the amount of the thickness reduction in the region of the i-th step, and hi represents the value of the resulting thickness of the metal strip 200 after rolling in the region of the i-th step.

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for winding a strip (3), in particular a metal strip of varying thickness, into a coil (2) with a device for applying a deformable material onto the strip (3) that is to be wound, characterized in that the device comprises means (11, 22) for creating a resilient, in particular an elastic material or a self-expanding or foaming material for placement onto the coil (2).

The invention further relates to a device for winding hot-rolled strip (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cleaning or descaling thin slabs and rolled strips in a hot strip rolling mill train and is characterized by use of cryogens such as oxygen or compound formed of cryogens with a carrier medium such as compressed air which are sprayed into slab surface or strip surface in liquid, deep-freeze form. The invention also relates to a method of cleaning and/or descaling of strips in a strip treatment installation with the above-mentioned characterized features, and to a correspondingly equipped apparatus.
