  • Method for the stepped rolling of a metal strip
    Patent number: 10946425
    Abstract: A method for the stepped rolling of a metal strip unwinds the metal strip by a feed reel device and winds-up the metal strip by a winding reel device. The metal strip is guided through a roller gap formed between two working rollers during the rolling process, and the roller gap is changed in a controlled manner during the rolling process, whereby a thickness of the metal strip is changed in steps in the longitudinal direction during the rolling process. Tension applied to the metal strip is controlled such that the rolling force applied to the metal strip by the working rollers is constant during the rolling process.
