HOT-ROLLING MILL FOR THIN STRIPS

摘要

The invention relates to a rolling mill for hot-working thin steel strips and other similar metallic materials; in particular, this rolling mill consists of a series of tandem arranged stands (2) which act simultaneously on a strip and among which there is at least one cooling device (3). The latter is designed to lower the temperature of the strip in a controlled manner so as to change the metallurgical phase of the associated rolled material in the space between one stand and the other. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the rolling mill is of the finishing type and the cooling device makes use of water with laminar-flow pipes.
