Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A method of operation for rolling round sections having predetermined precise finished dimensions in a group of adjustable rolling stands arranged following a wire rolling train and including two-high horizontal, vertical and horizontal rolling stands which are arranged closely one behind the other.
In the first two rolling stands, a pass reduction of between 14%
and 28% is carried out and the rolling speed is adjusted in such a way that only a low tension occurs, and in the last rolling stand, the pass reduction is 1% to 5% and the force of the drive of this rolling stand is limit-adjusted in such a way that the cross section of the rolled material is not reduced between the last rolling stand and the preceding rolling stand. The group of rolling stands for carrying out the method includes a first motor for jointly driving the first and second rolling stands and a motor with adjustable current limitation for driving the third rolling stand.

BACRGRO D OF T~E INVENTION

1. ~ield of the Iuvention The present invention relates to a method of operation for rolling round sections having predetermined precise finished dimensions in a group of adjustable rolling stands arranged following a wire rolling train and including two-high horizontal, vertical and horizontal rolling stands which are arranged closely one behind the other.

2. Descriptio~ of the Related Art Numerous proposals concerning methods of operation of the above-described type and groups of rolling stands for carrying ;.:
out such methods of operation are known in the art. For example, Brauer "Weiterentwicklungen der Dreiwalzen-Umformblocke", .
[Further Developments of Three-High Shaping Blocks] Stahl und Eisen 112/192, No. 7 discloses the arrangement of three-high - .- .
rolling stands in blocks of three stands. The use of two-high rolling stands with two-sided support of the rolls, also in ;~ :
blocks of three stands, is described in the brochure Morgan :~
:.:
Construction Co. ""TEKISUN BAR SIZING MILL TECHNOLOGY".
The two known methods of operation mentioned above have in common that they operate with relatively low total pass ~ .

reductions, i.e, at most approximately 14~, and, as a result, with a limited capacity, and that the groups of rolling stands used in the metXods are of relatively complicated construction, -particularly the roll supports and the roll drives in the blocks of three-roll stands and the stands themselves in all groups of ~ :~
rolling stands, because of the necessary extremely high stand ~:
stiffnesses with spring characteristics of O.004 mm/kN and less ~. ~
and the required high adjustment accuracy. ~ :

S~MMARY 0~ T~E INVENTION
Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide a method of operation and a group of rolling stands of the above-described type which overcomes the disadvantages of the ;-prior art arrangements described above.
In accordance with the present invention, in the first two rolling stands, a significantly greater pass reduction of between 14% and 28% is adjusted and the rolling speed is adjusted in such a way that only a low tension occurs, and in the last rolling -stand, the pass reduction is adjusted to 1% to 5% and the force of the drive of this rolling stand is limit-adjusted in such a '-way that the cross section of the rolled material is not reduced between the last rolling stand and the preceding rolling stand.
It has been found that the method according to the present invention makes it possible to roll good round sections whose ;~
finished dimensions are of comparably good accuracy. ; , ;
The group of rolling stands for carrying out the above-described method of operation may include, in accordance with the present invention, a first motor for jointly driving the first and second rolling stands and a motor with adjustable current -limitation for driving the third r~lling stand.

'~ ,' ' ~.

. ~ ~

In accordance with another feature of the present invention, the value of the stand springiness of the rolling stands of the group can be limited to about 0.001 mm/kN. The rolls may be -~
cantilevered, i.e. mounted with one-sided support, and the rolling stands may be spaced apart from each other by approximately 600 to 750mm. The rolls may be constructed as roll ~-disks having a diameter of 130 to 300mm. Conventional loopers may be arranged in front of and behind the rolling stand group.
The loopers ensure a transition from the preceding and the ;~
subsequent units of the rolling train which does not influence the dimensions of the rolled material itself and the manner of operation of the group of rolling stands.
In accordance with another advantageous feature, in the passes of the first and second rolling stand of the group of rolling stands, the contours of the bottom portions of the grooves forming the passes are approximately oval and adjacent the bottom portion and extending toward the outer edges of the groove, the contour is a straight line and the straight contours of opposing rolls in each stand include an acute angle with each other.

~ ~ a The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and rorming a part of the disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages, specific objects attained by its use, reference should be had to the drawing and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated .. `. .
and described preferred embodiments of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF T~E DRAWING
In the drawing~
Fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a rolling stand arrangement according to the present invention; `~
Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between -~
drive motor current and rolling speed; and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are schematic illustrations of the passes of the rolling stands.

DESCRIPTION OF T$E PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawing, rolling stands 1 --and 3 are horizontal stands with cantilever-mounted roll disks 4 ~ ~ -and 5 and the rolling stand 2 arranged between stands 1 and 3 is . : .- . -a vertical stand 2. The roll disks 6 of the vertical stand 2 are also cantilever-mounted, not shown. As is apparent from the drawing, all stands 1, 2 and 3 are arranged closely one behind the other. The stands 1 and 2 are jointly driven by a motor 8 through a gear unit 7 and the stand 3 is driven separately by a ;~
motor 9.
The diagram of Fig. 2 illustrates the pattern of the current `
limitation I~ in dependence on the rolling speed, wherein the . ~ . . .
rolling work WA and the mechanical frictions MR are taken into `~
consideration. In order to avoid an influence on the cross ~ ;
section of the rolled material, the power excess required for ~ -operating the rolling stand is always to be dimensioned smaller than the tensile strength of the rolled material.
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 show the contours of the passes of stands 1, 2 and 3, respectively. In the bottom portions B of the grooves forming the passes of stands 1 and 2, the contours are elliptically oval and the adjacent portions R extending toward the two edges K of the grooves are straight and the straight portions of opposing rolls include an acute angle with each :- . . , ' : : : ~:
"~ ~,"~ ' ,:'., ' , . .^ $~ vn ~) (~

:. .

other, wherein the angle of the straight portion in stand 1 is 30 to 60 relative to the vertical and the angle of the straight portion of the pass in stand 2 is 30 to 60 relative to the horizontal. The finishing pass of stand 3 is a round pass.
The invention is not limited by the embodiments described above which are presented as examples only but can be modified in various ways within the scope of protection defined by the appended patent claims.
