Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A metal strip is passed continuously through three [30] Forelgn Apphcatlon Pnonty Dam succeeding roller-tensioning devices. Between the up- Oct. 8, 1973 Germany 2350503 stream and central tensioning device the strip is elongated by between 0.5 and 1.3 percent so as to descale [52] US. Cl. 72/40; 29/81 A; 72/ 161; this strip. Between the central tensioning device and 3; 6 /3 P the downstream tensioning device the strip is elon- [51] Int. C1. B21B 45/06; B21D 1/04 gated by between 2 and 2.5 percent so as to le el th [58] Field of Search 72/39, 40, 205, 161, 160, strip and prevent end bowing thereof.
  • the present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for descaling and leveling a metal strip. More particularly this invention concerns a roller-levelerthrough which a metal strip is passed beforepickling.
  • the apparatus Prior to thepickling of a metal strip, in particular a steel strip, it is necessary toldescale the strip. This;is done in a so-called roller-leveler which stretches the sheet longitudinally to a limited extent while alternately and reverse bending it soas to remove all ;of the scale thereon. At the same time the stripis flattened 2
  • the apparatus according to the present invention comprises three roller ten'sioners separating two reverse bending devices. The strip is descaledbetween the extreme upstream and the central roller tensioner and is leveled between the central and the extreme downstream roller tensioner.
  • Another object is the provision of improved system for descaling and leveling a metal strip.
  • Yet another object is to provide such an apparatus which in one simple operation both effectively descales the strip and leveling it perfectly, thereby eliminating any lateral bowing at the ends thereof.
  • the maximum-descaling stretch in the upstream device is between 0.5 percent and 1.3 percent for removal of scale on the strip.
  • the extent of stretch in the downward stream assembly serving to level the strip is greater than 2 percent, advantageously between 2 and 2.5 percent.
  • a steel strip 1 is passed in a direction 8 through three succeeding roller-tensioners 2a, 2b, and 20 each having two respective driven tension rollers 3a, 3b, and 3c.
  • a reverse-bending device 4 having three reversing rollers 9 much as described in my US. Pat. No. 3,777,532 issued on Dec. 11, 1973.
  • Idler rollers 5 are employed to either side of this reverse bender 4 for proper feeding of the strip 1.
  • a similar reverse bender 4" having rollers 9" is provided between the central tensioning assembly 2b and the downstream tensioning assembly 20. After exiting from the downstream assembly 20 the strip 1 is pickled.
  • the drive motor of the assembly 2c is driven at a rate relative to the drive speed of the motor 10b of the assembly 2b to stretch the strip 1 between these two assemblies 2b and 2c by an extent equal to between 2 percent and 3 percent.
  • band section 6 between the upstream assembly 2a and second assembly 2b is subjected to a longitudinal tension of approximately 10 tons while the ;tension on the section 7 between the assembly 2b and the assembly 20 is equal to approximately 20 tons.
  • the system and apparatus according to the present invention is equally usable with nonferrous metal sheets. It is also possible to provide in the system according to the present invention various metal working machines between the rolling-tensioning assemblies 2a 20. Four such assemblies could also be provided as could only two to carry out the present invention.
  • a method of treating a metal strip comprising the steps of:
  • An apparatus for treating a metal strip comprising:
  • descaling means for longitudinally stretching said strip to a relatively small extent between 0.5 and 1.3 percent to remove scale therefrom; reverse bending means for reverse bending said strip simultaneously with the longitudinal stretching thereof by said descaling means;
  • said descaling means includes an upstream roller-tensioner
  • said leveling means includes a downstream roller-tensioner
  • said apparatus includes a central roller tensioner between said upstream and downstream roller tensioners, an upstream reverse bender being provided between said upstream roller-tensioner and said central roller-tensioner and a downstream reverse bender being provided between said central roller-tensioner and said downstream roller-tensioner, each of said reverse benders including a plurality of succeeding and parallel rollers defining a sinusiodal path for said strip.
