  • Patent number: 11565293
    Abstract: A method and a regulating device for regulating a rolling process, wherein a rolling material is rolled in a rolling gap between two working rollers of a rolling stand. A target forward slip value (fs) for a forward slip (f) of the rolling material is specified, and an actual forward slip value (fM) of the forward slip (f) of the rolling material is ascertained. The forward slip (f) of the rolling material is regulated to the target forward slip value (fs) in that a lubricant rate (uR) of a lubricant is applied to the rolling material and/or at least one working roller depending on the actual forward slip value (fM) and the target forward slip value (fs).

  • Patent number: 11529660
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a rolling device for rolling a rolled material. The rolled material is guided through a roll gap between two working rollers of a reversing roll stand, alternatingly in two opposing rolling directions. A lubricant for lubricating a contact zone is introduced into the contact zone in which the rolled material is in contact with the working rollers, and a coolant is applied to the rolled material and/or the working rollers. In a mixture with a carrier gas, the lubricant is sprayed onto the working rollers and/or onto the rolled material exclusively on an outlet side of a pass. The coolant is applied to the working rollers and/or to the rolled material exclusively on an inlet side of a pass.

  • Patent number: 11440066
    Abstract: A first steel strip and a second steel strip (7) are rolled in succession in at least one roll stand (1) of a cold rolling mill. A rolling pause, in which no steel strip is rolled, is provided between the rolling of the first and the second steel strip (7). The first steel strip is fed over a first path starting from a first pay-off reel (2), and the second steel strip (7) is fed over a second path starting from the first pay-off reel (2), or from a second pay-off reel different from the first pay-off reel (2). The first steel strip is not heated as it is fed to the rolling mill (1), whereas, by contrast, the second steel strip (7) is heated. The second path is longer than the first path.

  • Patent number: 11161161
    Abstract: A method for rolling a product to be rolled (3), wherein the product (3) is fed through a rolling gap (11) between two working rollers (9, 10) of a roll stand (1) and a cooling lubricant is introduced into a contact zone (15, 16), in which a contact surface (17, 18) of the product to be rolled (3) lies against a working roller (9, 10), in order to lubricate the contact zone (15, 16). Furthermore, a lubrication demand of the contact zone (15, 16) is determined in accordance with at least one process parameter of the rolling process and an additional lubricant is applied to the contact surface (17, 18) of the product to be rolled (3) before the rolling gap (11) at a specified application distance (D) if a cooling lubricant amount (C) presently introduced into the contact zone (15, 16) does not cover the lubrication demand.

  • Patent number: 10780475
    Abstract: During the rolling of a metallic flat rolling stock (1) in a roll stand (2), lubricating oil (5) is sprayed onto the rolling stock (1) and/or at least one roll (3,4) of the roll stand (2) by multiple spray nozzles (7) arranged beside one another. In each case, a mixing chamber (8) of a spray nozzle (7) is fed with a respective quantity of lubricating oil (5) via respective multiple oil inlet openings (9). The respective mixing chamber (8) is fed with compressed air (11) via respectively one air inlet opening (10). Compressed air (11) atomizes the lubricating oil (5) in the respective mixing chamber (8) to form an aerosol and, via respectively at least one nozzle outlet (12), is sprayed onto the rolling stock (1) and/or the at least one roll (3,4) of the roll stand (2).
