Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a combined welding and rolling plant for welding and rolling metallic strips.
  • the benefit of continuously rolling strips by rolling welding joints has significant benefits in terms of plant productivity, with 20% to 100% increases in hourly productivity or in kilometers rolled, of surface quality, by reducing the risk of generating defects during the step of feeding the heads and of exiting the tails being rolled, and in terms of yield, by reducing the losses of head and tail material due to out of thickness.
  • the plant comprises an inlet section, where the strips of successive coils are joined through a welder; a storing section which allows the rolling process to be fed when the last strip entering the inlet section stops to be joined with the strip preceding it; control systems for monitoring the tension and the centering of the strip, which are conveniently arranged along the plant; a four-or five-stand rolling mill, one after the other; an outlet section provided with a coil winding system; suitable systems for feeding incoming coils and evacuating exiting coils.
  • a drawback of such a solution is that from time to time, based on the length of the product to be rolled, production is limited by the "bottleneck" of the plant which, according to the size and weight of the coil, may be the plant inlet section, the storing section or the rolling mill, according to the maximum speed expressible by the tandem rolling mill with respect to the speed obtainable from each stand and to the installed power.
  • the cost of the investment is high due to the high number of pieces of equipment required to obtain the continuous rolling and the significant space required to install the plant.

  • the size limit is a diameter limit of each final rolled coil wound on a second reel, said diameter limit ranging from about 2000 to about 2100 mm.
  • the first limit of the size limit and the weight limit which is reached by the rolled coil on the respective second reel triggers the cutting by means of the cutting means at the outlet of the rolling mill.
  • sensors detect that the size limit or the weight limit has been reached, sensors send a control signal to said cutting means, to actuate the cutting means.
  • the plant and process of the invention allow to obtain final rolled coils having a predetermined diameter and/or a predetermined weight.

  • sensors send a control signal to said cutting means each time a portion of rolled strip wound on the at least one second reel 11 reaches said predetermined coil weight limit or said predetermined coil diameter limit.

  • the welding is provided of a tail of a mega coil entering the rolling mill with a head of a next mega coil coming from the rotating platform 3.
  • This welding is executed by means of welder 2', which is arranged between the rotating platform 3 and the cold rolling mill 9, and results in benefits in reducing the feeding times for the next mega coil since the head of the latter is pulled by the tail of the previous mega coil, thus increasing the continuity of rolling.
  • a flying cutting of the rolled strip is provided by means of the flying cutting shear 12 when the rolled coil wound on one of the reels 11' reaches the size or the specific weight provided by the automation.

    h) Aufwickeln weiterer verbliebener Teilstücke des gewalzten Bandes der ersten Megaspule auf die zumindest eine zweite Trommel (11, 11') bis zu dem vorgegebenen Maximalgewicht oder dem vorgegebenen Höchstdurchmesser, wodurch weitere gewalzte Spulen gebildet werden, und Schneiden des gewalzten Bandes nach Bilden jeder der weiteren gewalzten Spulen mittels der Schneidmittel;
    wobei zeitgleich zu den Schritten f), g) und zumindest teilweise Schritt h) die zweite Megaspule auf die vierte Trommel (5) gewickelt wird und daraufhin die Drehplattform (3) gedreht wird, so dass die dritte Trommel (4) als Aufwickeltrommel für das Band genutzt wird, um die nächste Megaspule herzustellen, während die vierte Trommel (5) als Abwickeltrommel der zweiten Megaspule zur Zuführung in das Kaltwalzwerk (9) dient und die Schritte f) bis h) für die zweite Megaspule durchgeführt werden.
  14. Schweiss- und Walzverfahren gemäß Anspruch 13, wobei die Zeit für das Bilden und Aufwickeln der zweiten Megaspule kürzer ist als die Zeit zum Abwickeln und Walzen der ersten Megaspule.
  15. Schweiss- und Walzverfahren gemäß einem der Ansprüche 13 oder 14, wobei ein Verschweissen eines Endes einer ersten Megaspule, die in das Walzwerk eintritt, und des Anfangs einer zweiten Megaspule, der von der vierten Trommel (5) kommt, vorgesehen ist, wobei das Verschweissen mittels eines zweiten Schweißgeräts (2') erfolgt, das zwischen der Drehplattform (3) und dem Kaltwalzwerk (9) angeordnet ist.
  16. Schweiss- und Walzverfahren gemäß einem der Ansprüche 13 bis 15, wobei das Band durch weitere Schneidmittel, die vor der Drehplattform (3) angeordnet sind, geschnitten wird, wenn eine Megaspule auf die dritte Trommel (4) oder die vierte Trommel (5) gewickelt wurde.
