As means for improving the yield of stainless steel strips, the slab edge becomes the starting point of flaws (edge cooling and generation of the starting point by segregation of the slab). It is generally known that reducing linear flaws (hereinafter referred to as seam flaws) over the entire length that occurs due to the movement to the surface contributes to an improvement in product yield. In this seam flaw, a linear streak is observed about 15 to 20 mm inward from the edge of the hot-rolled stainless steel strip over the entire length of the product on both the front and back surfaces. The unevenness of the seam flaws is not a problem in practical use, but since there is a complaint in appearance from the customer, the edge is trimmed at present, and the product yield is reduced correspondingly.

The above-mentioned method for changing the cross-sectional shape of the CC slab is based on a production scale based on the production cost, even if the cross-sectional shape of the CC slab is changed by a continuous casting technique or maintenance. Is considered difficult. In addition, the above-mentioned JP-A-53-28542,
JP-A-58-138502 and JP-B-50-1
The technique disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 4632 has disadvantages that a slab width cannot be changed significantly and high width accuracy over the entire length cannot be secured. In addition, since this technology uses caliber rolls to suppress dog bones, a significant change in slab width requires not only adding vertical rolls or increasing the number of passing facilities, but also changing slabs with different thicknesses. Was difficult to deal with.

In the mold disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-192503, a caliber groove is provided on the lower surface of the slab pressure to prevent a sharp corner shape from being generated at the slab corner when the width is reduced. This is to prevent cooling and prevent the generation of surface flaws such as cracks, and the effect of preventing seam flaws is not sufficient. Further, the disk-shaped mold disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 1-218707 has a problem that the radius is determined due to facility restrictions, and cannot be applied when the method of holding the mold is changed. It is impossible to apply it to equipment. Further, when the width is reduced by a mold having a projection disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 3-70801, twisting and buckling of the slab are often caused by uneven load in the vertical direction. If it occurs, the deviation of the centering tends to gradually increase, and even in this case, the seam flaw improvement effect is hindered, which is a problem.

The stainless steel CC slab of the present invention is subjected to surface treatment as required before heating. In addition, the reason why the heating temperature of the stainless steel CC slab is set to 1100 to 1300 ° C. in the present invention is that the deformation resistance is increased below 1100 ° C., and the motor load at the time of hot rolling increases, and the rolling is performed to a predetermined thickness. It will be difficult to do. Also,
If the temperature exceeds 1300 ° C., δ ferrite precipitates and voids (void defects) are generated at the interface with austenite grains during hot working, resulting in surface flaws such as cracks in the ears and scratches.

The convex press die used in the present invention for reducing the width of the stainless steel CC slab has a cross-sectional convex shape having an arc shape or a rounded convex portion, and the height of the convex portion is determined by the width reduction amount. Varies depending on operating conditions such as slab thickness,
The preferable range is 10 to 30 mm. If the width is too large, the side surface of the slab is turned up at the time of the width reduction press, and a fold flaw is generated at the edge of the hot rolled coil. On the other hand, if the height of the convex portion is too small, the above effect cannot be exhibited. Also,
The height difference in the slab longitudinal direction of the convex portion of the convex press die means that the convex portion has a gentle arc shape or a shape in which the rounded corners are used to reduce the convex portion, and thereby, The side surface of the slab can be smoothly formed into a concave portion having an arc shape or a rounded corner at the time of width reduction press.

In the present invention, the inclination angle of the edger roll in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction at the time of rough rolling while width rolling after reducing the width of the stainless steel CC slab is set to 0 ° to 3.0 ° , This is because if the fall angle exceeds 3.0 °, the effect of reducing the seam flaw width decreases. Further, depending on the type and mill characteristics of the rolling mill, if the falling angle of the edger roll is small, the rolled material may be lifted during width rolling. In such a case, the tilt angle should be 0.2 ° or more, more preferably
When the angle is 0.5 ° or more, lifting of the rolled material during width rolling can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the flat press die indicated by ◇ ◆, both SUS430 and SUS304 tend to increase the seam flaw width as the width reduction increases. The reason for this is that a so-called dog bone phenomenon occurs in which the wall thickness on both sides increases as the width reduction amount increases.
This is supported by the fact that the same concept applies to the edger roll, and that the seam flaw width increases. □
In the convex press die indicated by (2), the seam flaw width temporarily decreases up to the width reduction amount of 80 mm as compared with the flat press die indicated by (1), but thereafter increases, and the width reduction amount is 200 m.
If it exceeds m, there is not much difference from the case of the flat press die indicated by Δ. On the other hand, in the case of a round press die indicated by ○ ●,
The seam flaw width changed in a parabolic manner with the width reduction amount of 90 mm being a minimum value, and the seam flaw width increased to a point where the maximum width reduction amount was 260 mm and the width reduction amount was equal to zero. From the above results, when the seam flaw width is to be minimized, the width reduction amount is 90 m.
m, the seam flaw width also increases with the increase in the width reduction. However, it was confirmed that the seam flaw width also decreased when the width reduction was up to 200 mm.

Example 2 Conventionally, the inclination angle of an edger roll of a rough rolling mill is set to 3 to prevent the rolled material from lifting during rough rolling, as shown in FIG. Although the rolled material 2 was held down at 0.5 °, the seam flaw width can be reduced by changing the falling angle of the edger roll 1, for example, by reducing it as shown in FIG. SUS430 and SUS30 shown in Table 1 above.
After heating a stainless steel CC slab having a slab thickness of 200 mm and a slab width of 1280 mm to 1250 ° C., the height of the protrusion shown in FIG. 1C is 30 mm, and R is 200 m.
m is reduced in width by a width reduction amount of 260 mm (130 mm on one side) using a width reduction press of an arc-shaped round press die having a convex portion having an arc shape, and then the width is reduced by an edger roll having a falling angle of 0 ° to 3.5 °. After rough rolling while rolling, finish rolling and plate thickness:
Each stainless hot-rolled steel strip having a thickness of 3.2 mm and a width of 1030 mm was manufactured. For each of the obtained hot rolled stainless steel strips, the seam flaw width indicated by the distance of the seam flaw from the edge of the hot rolled stainless steel strip was measured using a scale, and the presence or absence of lifting of the rolled material during rough rolling was investigated. .
FIG. 4 shows the results. In FIG. 4, ● represents SUS 4

As shown in FIG. 4, lifting of the rolled material during rough rolling did not occur for both SUS 430 and SUS 304 if the inclination angle of the edger roll was 0.2 ° or more. In addition, the falling angle of the edger roll is 3.0 °.
Within the following range, almost no increase in the seam flaw width was observed, but it was confirmed that when the fall angle of the edger roll exceeded 3.0 °, the seam flaw width began to increase.

The convex portion having a height of 30 mm and R: 200 mm shown in Fig. 4 is reduced in width by a width reduction amount of 35 to 260 mm (130 mm on one side) using a width reduction press device of an arc-shaped round press die, and then reduced in width. 3 (a) and 3 (b), rough rolling is performed while width rolling is performed with an edger roll having a falling angle of 3.5 ° and 0.5 °, and then finish rolling is performed to obtain a sheet thickness of 3.2 to 3. .6

As shown in FIG. 5, the seam flaw width of the coil surface by plate width is such that when the width is rolled by an edger roll having a falling angle of 0.5 ° indicated by □, the falling angle of 3.5 ° is indicated by ×. Compared with the case of width rolling with an edger roll, the width is reduced at any plate width. However, as shown in FIG.
The seam flaw width for each sheet width on the back surface of the coil is the inclination angle of 0 shown by □.
When the width was rolled with a 5 ° edger roll, the width exceeded any of the plate widths as compared with the case where the width was rolled with an edger roll with a falling angle of 3.5 ° indicated by X. Also,
As shown in FIG. 7, the seam flaw width of the front and back surfaces of each of the sheet widths when the width was rolled with an edger roll having a falling angle of 3.5 ° was as follows. The value is significantly larger than the width of the seam flaw on the back surface shown in FIG. This is presumably because when the inclination angle of the edger roll was 3.5 °, the surface side edge having a large width rolling amount at the bar stage during rough rolling further moved toward the center in the width direction at the finishing stage. Further, the seam flaw width by sheet width on the front and back surfaces when width rolling is performed by an edger roll having a falling angle of 0.5 ° is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, in comparison with the case of FIG. 7 in which the width was rolled by an edger roll having a falling angle of 3.5 °, the seam flaw width of the front surface indicated by ○ and the seam flaw width of the back surface indicated by Δ in each of the plate widths. The difference is smaller. As a result, the trim allowance required to produce a stainless steel strip having no seam flaws as the final product is lower than the 20 mm trim allowance when the fall angle of the edger roll is 3.5 °. The angle is 0.
In the case of 5 °, it was able to be greatly reduced to 12 mm.
