A method for producing hot-rolled, seamless pipes having at least one wall thickening which can be arranged at any positions over the length of the pipe, wherein by means of a multiple-stand mandrel bar rolling mill, the rolls roll a hollow shell on a mandrel bar as an inner tool to a required nominal wall thickness and produce at specified positions over the length of the pipe a required wall thickening on the outer side of the pipe by opening the rolls in the rolling stands. The thickened wall is produced and finish-rolled by two rolling stands that are consecutive as seen in the rolling direction, in which the deviations of the finished contour of the thickening from an ideal circular cross-section are minimised, wherein the rolling stands located upstream are likewise opened as to avoid any contact of the rolls of these rolling stands with the previously produced thickening.

A mandrel with a compensating segment, gripper bar, and external body segment making up a key piece configuration. The configuration adjusting the travel path of metal sheet being wound around the mandrel. The metal sheet thereby being wound without resulting imperfections which occur naturally when wrapping material around a cylinder.

The invention relates to a device and a method for producing a pipe (1) from a hollow block (2) which has an opening (3). The device has a rolling mill (30) for rolling the hollow block (2) via a rolling rod (21) introduced into the opening (3) of the hollow block (2), whereby the pipe (1) is produced. A retaining device (70) for retaining the pipe (1) is provided behind the rolling mill (30), and the device is further designed such that the rolling rod (21) can be drawn out of the pipe (1) after the rolling process while the pipe (1) is retained by the retaining device (70).

A rolling mill for rolling hollow or, in all cases, concave rod-shaped bodies, in particular tubes, in particular seamless tubes, said rolling mill comprising a rolling section (10) with a plurality of mill stands and/or rolling dies (11) arranged in succession to define a rolling axis Y, said rolling mill further comprising moving means for moving a mandrel (20) and a tubular blank (21) fitted onto an end portion (22) of said mandrel (20) along said rolling axis and through said mill stands or rolling dies (11) in succession; wherein said moving means are structured so as to move said mandrel (20) and said blank (21) along said rolling axis Y and through said mill stands or rolling dies (11) in succession by applying a traction on said mandrel.

A rolling mill stand for rolling rod-shaped bodies, in particular tubular bodies, said stand comprising at least three rolls (10) mutually arranged to define a rolling pass line for said rod-shaped and/or tubular bodies, wherein at least one of said three rolls (10) is rigidly mounted on a roll holder shaft (20), freely fixed in turn in a rotational manner to said stand by means of a first hollow support (40) and a second hollow support (30) arranged on opposite sides of said at least one roll (10), respectively, wherein a first portion (21) and a second portion (22) of said roll holder shaft (20) are housed in said first hollow support (40) and in said second hollow support (30), respectively, where the constraint between at least said first hollow support and said first portion (21) of the roll holder shaft is of elastic type.

Provided is a thin, narrow tube for use in a biodegradable medical device formed from a round tube made of a magnesium material as the base material, in which a desired outer diameter and an inner diameter are provided with good precision over the entire region in a longitudinal direction and a circumferential direction, and the length of biodegradation time can be controlled without changing a material composition. The thin, narrow tube is a thin, narrow tube of a biodegradable medical device, in which the thin, narrow tube is a round tube made of crystals containing magnesium (Mg) having a hexagonal crystal structure, and when the crystals forming the round tube are viewed in a round tube axis direction of the round tube, a hexagonal basal plane (0001) is oriented at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to a circumferential direction perpendicular to a radial direction (a direction from an inner surface to an outer surface) of the round tube.

The present inventive concept provides a method for manufacturing a multi-layered nuclear fuel cladding pipe, comprising the steps of: providing a preliminary cladding pipe in which an inner pipe having a rod-shaped insertion body inserted thereinto is disposed in an outer pipe; reducing the diameter of the preliminary cladding pipe by applying pressure from the outside to the inner side of the preliminary cladding pipe; and removing the insertion body from the inner pipe by providing a force in the direction in which the insertion body extends, wherein the inner pipe and the outer pipe may be formed of different metals from each other.
