Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a high-frequency pulse oscillator, and more particularly to a high-frequency pulse oscillator adapted to provide pulse currents having a high frequency and large amplitude so as to transition metallic materials into a plastic state for ease of processing or for closing microcracks formed in metallic parts in order to recover mechanical characteristics thereof. The high-frequency pulse oscillator of the present invention comprises a controllable rectifier, a switching section, and a control system. The controllable rectifier rectifies alternating currents supplied from a current source to output currents having a predetermined waveform, according to a control signal from the control system. The switching section generates pulse currents using the currents from the rectifier, according to another control signal from the control system.

Abstract: An electric heating type rolling device comprises work rolls for rolling a metal strip, a power supply for generating a pulse current, a pair of upstream contact members which are disposed in a location before the metal strip passes through the work rolls, and a pair of downstream contact members which are disposed opposite to the upstream contact members in a location after the metal strip has been rolled by the work rolls and passed thereby. The contact members are electrically connected to the power supply. Each contact member includes a first contact portion contacting the metal strip, a flat portion which is extended from the first contact portion toward the work rolls while being spaced apart from the metal strip, and a second contact portion which is extended from the flat portion to contact the metal strip.
