Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a rolling stand and a rolling mill for rolling profiles according to the preambles of claims 1, 5 and 9.
  • Profiles are formed from billets, blocks or slabs in several stages and passes and then calibrated to their final dimensions.
  • the gray rolling mill with two rolling stands arranged one behind the other is still used today in rolling mills for H, I or double T profiles with dimensions of up to 1000 mm, since additional stands cause enormous tool costs.
  • the horizontal rollers / rollers process the web and the flanges at the same time, two vertical rollers finish the flanges from the outside.
  • the puppet principle has so far not undergone any improvements, so that even newer rolling mills with modified technologies (DE-OS 29 36 680, DE-OS 35 21 949), which for the avoidance of a web center misalignment with symmetrical profiles by biaxial guidance of the profile, unfold the Apply flanges.
  • Folding out has the further advantage that the incision depth in the forming rolls can be kept low and these can therefore be reworked more often and can be designed for a longer service life.
  • Both the gray principle and the doll method have major disadvantages in the production of parallel-flange carriers.
  • the advantage of the gray principle of not being able to use many rollers is partially offset by the large amount of frictional wear on the forming rollers and the large relative speeds between the rolling stock flanges and the forming surfaces of the rollers.
  • the number of regrinds is limited by the deeply cut caliber shape, since the rollers cannot have any diameter. This frictional wear is considerably less with the doll process for beams and with production processes for other profiles, but at least one complete finishing stand must be installed for the final folding (folding calibration) of the outer profile sections.
  • the customary finishing stand must be arranged at a distance of more than one length of rolling stock behind the last upsetting stand, as a result of which such a rolling mill requires a large amount of space.
  • the method according to the invention enables a material-calibrated folding calibration of profiles after the last upsetting stitch and can be integrated on-line in a rolling mill.
  • the process can be used in continuous rolling mills as well as reversing rolling mills for the final, non-compressive forming of profiles. There are no relative speeds between the tool (caliber roll) and the rolling stock; this reduces tool wear to a minimum.
  • essentially cylindrical rollers or rollers are used, which can be designed in such a way that profiles of different widths can be calibrated in a folding manner. This leads to a reduction in the caliber rolls to be kept.
  • Both solution variants according to the invention are characterized in that the first profile section - in the case of H profiles, for example, the web - is not deformed by upsetting or buckling / bending or loses its dimensional accuracy because this profile section does not have to undergo any significant deformation.
  • the known "drawing empty” or incomplete folding of the second profile sections or flanges in the region of the transition between the profile sections is avoided. Folding out only a part of the later again folding-calibrating profile section supports this procedural measure.
  • the solution according to the invention to support the first profile sections during the folding calibration, enables the use of the conventional universal roll stands without the acquisition of new roll sets.
  • the upper and lower rollers previously used, for example, in the production of H-profiles are only exchanged for narrower upper and lower rollers of the next smaller profile height, which do not touch the flanges. This is an astonishingly simple solution for the previously wear-prone folding calibration of large profiles.
  • Adjacent second profile sections that are to be folded into a rolling plane can be formed with a pressure roller.
  • Profile sections that can be folded symmetrically should be calibrated at the same time; This results in a balance of forces between the three-roller bending systems arranged on both sides of the profile when finishing H, I, U and double-T profiles with the same flange geometry.
  • At least one pressure roller which can be adjusted in the direction of the roller plane, with a counter roller lying in front and behind, is required for each profile section to be calibrated.
  • the support rollers can be made very small because they only have to absorb the reaction forces.
  • the axes of the support rollers can be rigidly aligned in accordance with the profile to be rolled, while the pressure roller is designed to be adjustable depending on the rolling stock material, profile thickness and folding angle.
  • the pressure roller must be arranged on the profile side to which the profile sections to be calibrated are folded out. For most symmetrical profiles, it is therefore advisable to fold adjacent profile sections with a pressure roller.
  • the feed drive for the profile can also be dimensioned small.
  • a drive can be coupled to the pressure roller.
  • one or more of the support rollers can also be provided with a traction or thrust drive.
  • the three-roll bending roll stand can be arranged directly behind the last upsetting rolls. In reversing rolling mills, the three-roll bending mill stand is swung into the rolling plane from a rest position after the penultimate compression stitch.
  • the finish-rolling stands for folding up the profiles have been arranged one roll length behind the last upsetting stand.
  • the new process enables a drive-free folding calibration by taking advantage of the forced feed of the profile through the last compression frame. Only the end of the profile has to be conveyed further after leaving the upsetting stand by means of a switchable drive on the three-roller bending roll stand or by a separate driver. This arrangement makes it possible to make rolling mills shorter by one length of rolling stock.
  • a double-T profile 1 of 500 mm high with 15 mm thick web 3 and 28 mm thick flanges 2 was rolled out in the last compression frame of a rolling mill, not shown, to a nominal flange width of 300 mm (FIG. 1).
  • the flange sections 2 b were unfolded during the reversing operation, so that the side rolls of the compression frame, which were complementary to the flange sections 2 a, 2 b, could guide the profile 1 in the middle during the rolling process.
  • the profile 1 was fed to the three-roll bending mill (Fig. 2).
  • an essentially cylindrical pressure roller 4, 5 is arranged on both outer sides of the profile 1, with axes 1 1, 10 perpendicular to the rolling direction Z and to the axial direction X - Y.
  • Both pressure rollers 4, 5 are provided with commercially available electric drives, not shown, which drive the pressure rollers 4, 5 according to the direction of rotation shown on axis 10 and cause the delivery of the pressure rollers 4, 5 in the X and Y directions.
  • a symmetrically designed three-roll bending mill stand with the pressure roller 5 and the counter-rollers 8, 18 and 9, 19 is arranged on the rigid axes 14 and 15, respectively.
  • the perspective view clearly shows the folding calibration process of the flange section 2 b in the bending line B between the three rollers 5, 8, 9.
  • the finished double T-section 1 has straight, parallel flanges 2.
  • Fig. 3 shows a T-profile with web 21, the flange portions 20 are folded out symmetrically to the web 21, so that the web 21 is formed in the middle during rolling.
  • the flange sections 20 can be hingedly calibrated with a three-roll bending mill similar to that in FIG.
  • the process is not limited to symmetrical profiles; In the same way, isosceles or isosceles angle profiles or U profiles and similar rolling stock can be finished.
  • the type of roll stands is not limited to a three-roll bending roll stand; if necessary, a double system with two bending lines can be realized with two pressure rollers and three counter rollers. The principle of the three-roll bending process is thus retained.
  • FIG. 4 Another solution for the same problem is shown in FIG. 4.
  • a wide flange beam 900 mm high with parallel flange surfaces, flange width 300 mm, web thickness 20 mm and flange thickness 35 mm was rolled out with the flanges 27 a, b unfolded to the nominal dimensions mentioned.
  • the profile sections 27 a, 27 b are folded by delivering the driven pressure roller 25 (illustration on the left).
  • the finished profile with a straight flange 30 is shown to scale in the right half of FIG. 4. So that the web 29 does not buckle due to the pressure roller craters, it is supported by the top roller 23 and the bottom roller 24, leaving the 30 mm web / flange radius 28 free. In the absence of contact with the inner flange surfaces, no frictional wear can occur on the support rollers 23, 24.
  • the invention also includes very narrow support rollers 23, 24 of variable diameter, which support the first profile section or web 29 only to a small width sideways of the radius 28 and do not touch the web 29 in their central region.
