Patent number: 6373017Abstract: A continuous hot rolling mill with a metal block conveying apparatus and a metal block joining apparatus which moves with the metal blocks along the metal block conveying apparatus to conform a joining operation. The metal block conveying apparatus uses rollers supported by cylinders with a common hydraulic circuit which allows the cylinders to follow guide rails on the metal block joining apparatus and lower out of the path of the metal block joining apparatus and then return to a metal block support position after the metal block joining apparatus' passage without individual control circuits and valves for each of the cylinders.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1999Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignees: Kawasaki Steel Corporation, Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Isoyama, Takeshi Hirabayashi, Hideyuki Nikaido, Hirosuke Yamada, Nozomu Tamura, Toshiaki Amagasa, Toshisada Takechi, Katsuhiro Takebayashi, Kanji Hayashi, Kunio Miyamoto, Akio Kuroda, Kazunori Nagai, Yoshiki Mito, Kazuo Morimoto, Kazuya Tsurusaki, Kiyoshi Izumi

Patent number: 6345756Abstract: The invention comprises a continuous hot rolling method in which a rear end portion of a preceding metal block and a fore end portion of a succeeding metal block are cut and the metal blocks are joined to each other by heating and pressing followed by a finish rolling. A region of each metal block is restrained from a clamping position to the end portion thereof in order to prevent a change in level of the metal blocks in heating and pressing the piece. The end portions of the metal blocks can be thus prevented from deformation.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1999Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Assignees: Kawasaki Steel Corporation, Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Isoyama, Takeshi Hirabayashi, Hideyuki Nikaido, Hirosuke Yamada, Nozomu Tamura, Toshiaki Amagasa, Toshisada Takechi, Katsuhiro Takebayashi, Kanji Hayashi, Kunio Miyamoto, Akio Kuroda, Kazunori Nagai, Yoshiki Mito, Kazuo Morimoto, Kazuya Tsurusaki, Kiyoshi Izumi

Patent number: 6230532Abstract: During rolling with a rolling mill, which includes a sheet shape altering device capable of altering a mechanical sheet crown, while the sheet shape altering device is operated correspondingly with a target mechanical sheet crown set value during the dimensional alteration in rolling, the invention enables a stable sheet shape to be achieved, even when the mechanical sheet crown is altered to a large extent during rolling. Specifically, the target mechanical sheet crown set value, during the dimensional alteration in rolling, is previously set based on target mechanical sheet crown set values, before and after the dimensional alteration, prior to start of the dimensional alteration in rolling. The sheet shape altering device is then operated so that an actual mechanical sheet crown, during the dimensional alteration in rolling, is equal to the target mechanical sheet crown set value during the dimensional alteration in rolling.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2000Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Takayuki Kaji, Takushi Kagawa, Hiroshi Shiomi, Katsuhiro Takebayashi

Patent number: 5957368Abstract: A continuous hot rolling method is available for continuously hot finish rolling steel pieces. The trailing end of a preceding steel piece and the leading end of a succeeding steel piece are cut by a drum shear which sandwiches the steel piece between its upper drum and lower drum, having cutting blades on the peripheries of the drums. The cut ends are heated to raise the temperatures thereof by high-frequency induction heating, pressed against each other to butt-join the cut ends. The joined steel pieces are then supplied to a rolling equipment. The trailing end of the preceding steel piece and the leading end of the succeeding steel piece are cut individually by two pairs of the cutting blades. One pair of the cutting blades has the obverses of the blades oriented in opposite directions in the obverse side and the reverse side of the steel piece.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1997Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Katsuhiro Takebayashi, Yoshikiyo Tamai, Toshio Imae, Kunio Isobe, Hideyuki Nikaido, Koichi Uemura

Patent number: 5871138Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuously finishing hot-rolling steel strips include partially joining a rear end of a preceding steel strip and a leading end of a succeeding steel strip after the strips have passed through a rough hot-rolling step. The joint is flattened. The joint is rolled with a first stand of a tandem rolling mill. The mill is provided with a plurality of stands that includes a pair of work rolls and backup rolls and/or intermediate rolls, so that a compression stress acts at the unjointed section of the strips in the longitudinal direction of the joint while tracking the joint. Shape-control-rolling is performed on the joint with a second and succeeding stands so that a section of the steel strip other than the joint is subjected to the shape-control-rolling at all the stands.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1996Date of Patent: February 16, 1999Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Shishido, Kenji Kataoka, Toshisada Takechi, Nobuaki Nomura, Katsuhiro Takebayashi, Yoshikiyo Tamai

Patent number: 5720196Abstract: A method for continuously hot-rolling steel pieces, includes butt-joining the rear end of the preceding steel piece and the leading end of the succeeding steel piece, then finish-rolling the butt-joined steel pieces by supplying a continuous hot rolling facility provided with a plurality of stands having a bending function of a work roll. The method involves estimating the variation of the rolling force occurring during rolling the joint of the steel pieces at the non-stationary zone caused by said joint, calculating the changing bending force of the work roll during rolling the joint of the steel pieces from the estimated variation of the rolling force, and determining the pattern for changing the bending force taking account of said changing force, and rolling the joint of the steel pieces by regulating the bending force in response to said pattern over at least one stand, while tracking down the joint of the steel piece immediately after joining.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1996Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Yoshikiyo Tamai, Katsuhiro Takebayashi, Toshio Imae, Hideyuki Nikaido, Kunio Isobe

Patent number: 5144998Abstract: Semi-solidified metal compositions are stably produced by pouring molten metal into a cooling agitation vessel, agitating it while cooling to produce a slurry of semi-solidified metal composition at a solid-liquid coexistent state and discharging out the semi-solidified metal composition from a discharge port of the vessel. In this case, the cooling agitation is carried out so that a relation of fraction solid, solidification rate and shear rate satisfies the following equation (1).eta.=a/2(1/f.sub.s -1/f.sub.scr).ltoreq.10 (1).Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1991Date of Patent: September 8, 1992Assignee: Rheo-Technology Ltd.Inventors: Masazumi Hirai, Katsuhiro Takebayashi, Ryuji Yamaguchi, Yasuo Fujikawa
