Abstract
According to an embodiment of the invention, a rolling equipment includes two coiler furnaces; a plurality of mill stands provided between the two coiler furnaces, the plurality of mill stands being for reverse rolling; and an induction heater provided between the plurality of mill stands, the induction heater implementing a heated temperature increase in a designated reverse rolling or in each reverse rolling, the heated temperature increase being in a hot strip longitudinal direction and width direction. Thus, the hot strip temperature distribution can be improved.
Claims8
A rolling equipment, comprising:
- two coiler furnaces;
- a plurality of mill stands provided between the two coiler furnaces, the plurality of mill stands being for reverse rolling of a hot strip;
- at least two tension rolls provided between the mill stands;
- and
- an induction heater provided between the two tension rolls, the induction heater being configured to heat the hot strip in a designated reverse rolling or in each reverse rolling, the induction heater being configured to raise a temperature of a longitudinal direction of the hot strip and a temperature of a width direction of the hot strip,
- wherein the induction heater is a transverse type, a solenoid type, or a combination of the two types, the transverse type having flux perpendicular to a hot strip longitudinal-direction cross section, the solenoid type having flux perpendicular to a hot strip width cross section.
