Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for producing metal bars wherein at least four strands of metal bars, particularly steel bars, are obtained by simultaneously rolling from a single billet.
  • a steel bar of 9 to 20 mm in diameter as a concrete bar for reinforcing concrete is produced in large quantities.
  • the bar includes not only a bar whose cross section is substantially round, but also a bar whose cross section is slightly oval or square-shaped and a ribbed bar which is the above-mentioned bar, on which ribs are formed.
  • Said bars are produced by a bar rolling mill generally having 16 to 20 stands in the following manner:
  • the bar rolling mill is roughly composed of a roughing rolling train and a finishing rolling train.
  • a preformed billet is produced by rolling a billet of 100 to 150 mm in diameter and thus reducing a cross-sectional area of the billet to 70 to 95 % thereof.
  • a final product is obtained by rolling said preformed billet in the finishing rolling train.
  • the method wherein a strand of metal bar is produced from a single billet in this way is popular. However, such a method is not effective in productivity of the bars.
  • FIG. 10(A) Four strands 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d connected to each other by thin connecting portions 4e, 4f and 4g are formed as shown in Figure 10(A) by means of stands K 4 and k 3 .

  • Figure 2(F) shows roll calibers 18a through 18d and strands 19a through 19d in the stand K 2 .
  • the stand K 2 has oval roll calibers so that the four strands as shown in Figure 2(E) are rolled to be adapted to the final rolling, whereby four strands 19a to 19d of oval shape are formed.
  • Figure 2(G) shows roll calibers 20a through 20d on the stand K 1 for carrying out the final rolling.
  • the roll caliber is a round caliber.
  • the roll calibers in the stand K 1 are required to have the shape of the final product.
  • the roll caliber should be a caliber which gives ribs on the bars.
  • Approximate dimensions of the preformed billet are shown to show specific examples of the present invention.
  • a square billet of 150 mm in each side was rolled by means of a roughing rolling train.
  • a preformed billet 10 obtained in the final stand K 5 had a box-shape with a breadth of 41.24 mm and a thickness of 13.48 mm and the central portion of the preformed billet was swelling. Accordingly, the roll calibers also were box-shaped.
  • a roll caliber in the stand K 4 had a breadth of approximately 48.1 mm and had an oval shape as a whole, the maximum thickness of which was about 10.5 mm.
  • the roll caliber had convex portions 11a through 11c at positions where the roll caliber was divided into about four equal portions.
  • the breadth of each of the divided strands was from 11.5 to 12.5 mm.
  • Each of both the outer roll calibers 13a and 13d in the stand K 3 had a breadth of about 7.9 mm and a thickness of 9.5 mm and had an oval shape.
  • Diamond-shaped roll calibers 13b and 13c at the intermediate portion had a breadth of about 11.4 mm and a thickness of 12 mm.
  • the connecting portions had a breadth of about 0.8 mm and a thickness of 1 mm or less.
  • Roll calibers 18a through 18d in the stand K 2 had a breadth of 17.8 mm and a thickness of 6.6 mm and were flat oval-shaped.
