Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing boards, which have different thicknesses over their length.

  • the preamble of claim 1 is based on JP 63-040604 A , From the DE 197 04 300 A1
  • a method and an apparatus for producing a metal strip are known.
  • the different thickness regions of the strip are produced by hot rolling by sectioning the strip prior to hot rolling by cooling or heating to a different temperature.
  • the band experiences a different in the individual sections, due to the different temperature setting Have obtained a yield stress value, with a substantially constant rolling force a different thickness decrease.
  • a hydraulic delivery is provided, which moves the nip during rolling.
  • a disadvantage of the methods used today is the high cost of heating the coils and the complexity of the rolling stands for rolling the partially differently heated coils or boards to partially different thicknesses.
  • the present invention has for its object to propose a simplified method for the production of boards with different thicknesses, which allows a targeted regional heating of boards and a blading of the boards by means of a simple and inexpensive rolling mill on different thicknesses.
  • the solution consists in a method for producing boards with different thicknesses of a metallic steel material with the method steps: manufacture of boards from a strip material; Area-wise changing the temperature of the boards, wherein areas of different temperatures are generated in the boards; Rolling the partially temperature-changed blanks in a rolling tool with a nip position, wherein the nip position is kept constant during rolling, wherein sections of different thickness are produced in the boards due to the different temperature ranges; wherein the boards are heated after rolling and hot worked after heating in a forming tool; wherein the boards with the areas which have the highest temperatures after the regional temperature change, during the subsequent process steps of rolling and heat treatment to insert into the forming tool always have a temperature of about 500 ° C for steel materials.
  • the advantage of the method with the specified sequence of the individual method steps is that different temperature zones are generated by the regional variation of the temperature.
  • Temperature zones have the different areas of the boards different flow resistance. In this case, hotter areas have a lower flow resistance and are therefore more severed than colder areas of the board. Due to the different flow resistances, sections of different thickness are produced on the board by the subsequent rolling. In this case, the areas heated higher before rolling have a smaller thickness after rolling than the lower heated areas.
  • an optimized thickness profile of the blank can be produced after rolling, which is adapted to the later component requirements.
  • a board is understood to be a sheet metal element which is produced from a strip material or from a coil. That is, the process step of the area-wise temperature change of the board is preceded by a production of the board from a strip material. It is understood that between the separation of boards from the strip material and the area-wise temperature change of the board other process steps may be interposed, for example, a heat treatment.
  • the production of the boards from the strip material or the coil can be arbitrary and depends on the final contour of the board to be manufactured.
  • the boards can be made by simply cutting the strip material into individual elements having at least two parallel side edges, or by cutting or punching individual elements with an individual circumferential contour from the strip material. These cut-out elements with individual circumferential contours can also be referred to as shaped cuts or contour cuts.
  • nip is the term for the roll opening including the roll jump at the contact surfaces of the rolling stock with the rolls over the roll bale length.
  • Roll skip is the name given to an enlargement of the roll opening when the rolling stock is punctured by stretching the parts of the roll stand.
  • the rolling force can, in contrast to the nip, change as it passes through the board.
  • the transitions between two board sections with different strip thickness are due to the temperature distribution in the board and can be kept very short with a corresponding partial temperature change before rolling, in contrast to controlled rolling stands.
  • the force-working requirement is greatly reduced by the temperature-dependent flow resistance, so that boards with different thicknesses can be produced in a large width economically.
  • the different temperature ranges are generated according to the later desired thickness profile of the board.
  • the shape and the extent of the temperature ranges in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction of the board can in principle be chosen so that the board has the desired thickness profile after rolling.

This makes it possible that the board during the subsequent rolling process undergoes a corresponding change in thickness transverse to the rolling direction. Again, that the number and distribution of the areas with different temperature depending on the desired thickness profile of the board to be produced can be adjusted.
  • both temperature ranges can be generated, which extend at uniform temperature transverse to the rolling direction, as well as temperature ranges, which have an additional temperature gradient transverse to the rolling direction.

  2. Procédé selon la revendication 1,
    caractérisé en ce que
    parmi les zones (11-16) avec des températures différentes (T11-T16), est générée au moins une zone (11-16) avec une température constante (T11-T16), et/ou une zone (15') avec une température variable (T15') transversalement au sens de laminage (R).
  3. Procédé selon la revendication 1 ou 2,
    caractérisé en ce que
    la modification par zone de la température a lieu par réchauffage ou refroidissement d'au moins une zone (11-16) du platine (10), en particulier au moins au moyen d'un poinçon (30), qui est mis en contact avec le platine (10) de telle sorte que le platine (10) adopte au moins à peu près la température du poinçon (30) .
  4. Procédé selon la revendication 1 ou 2,
    caractérisé en ce que
    la modification par zone de la température a lieu de façon inductive par réchauffage d'au moins une zone (11-16) du platine (10), les platines étant guidés à travers des cylindres de passage, les zones (11-16) avec des températures différentes étant générées par variation de la puissance des cylindres de passage lors du passage des platines (10) à travers.
  5. Procédé selon les revendications 1 à 3
    caractérisé en ce que
    la modification par zone de la température a lieu par refroidissement d'au moins une zone (11-16) du platine (10), les platines (10) étant réchauffés de façon homogène à une première température avant le refroidissement par zone.
  6. Procédé selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5,
    caractérisé en ce que
    les platines (10) avec les zones (11, 16), ayant les températures maximales (T11, T16) après la modification de température par zone, comportent toujours une température supérieure à 600° C pour les matériaux à base d'acier pendant les étapes de procédé successives du laminage et du traitement thermique jusqu'à l'insertion dans l'outil de formage.
