A rolling mill includes three or more rolling rolls aligned along a circumferential direction and arranged so each rotary shaft is skewed with respect to a pass line of a material to be rolled, wherein the material to be rolled made of a pipe or bar material passes between the rolling rolls while being rotated to undergo diameter reducing rolling. At least one rolling roll selected from the three or more rolling rolls is smaller in roll diameter than at least one other rolling roll. When at least one rolling roll having a relatively maximum roll diameter defined as a maximum diameter rolling roll and at least one rolling roll smaller in roll diameter than the maximum is defined as a small diameter rolling roll, the small diameter rolling roll has a roll diameter equal to or less than 90% of the roll diameter of the maximum diameter rolling roll.

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for changing the effective contour of a running surface (8) of a working roller (3, 4) during the hot rolling of rolling stock in a roll stand (2) to form a rolled strip (1). The intention is to be able to change the contour of the running surface (8) during the hot rolling by means of the invention. This object is achieved according to the invention by the axial displacement of the working rollers (3, 4) in opposite directions by a displacement distance s, wherein s is greater or less than r/tan()and r indicates the wear of the running surface (8) in the radial direction (R) and indicates the pitch angle of the conical portion (7) of the respective working roller (3, 4).

Provided is a rolling mill, a tandem rolling line including the same, and a rolling method capable of using small-diameter work rolls for rolling hard materials and capable of high-quality strips. A rolling mill includes: work rolls configured to roll a rolling material; intermediate rolls supporting the work rolls from above and below, respectively; back-up rolls supporting the intermediate rolls from above and below, respectively; position adjusting means for adjusting the positions of the intermediate rolls relative to the work rolls and the back-up rolls in the direction of conveyance of the rolling material; detecting means for detecting horizontal forces on the work rolls; offset-amount calculating means for calculating the offset amounts of the intermediate rolls based on the horizontal forces on the work rolls detected by the detecting means; and controlling means for controlling the position adjusting means such that the positions of the intermediate rolls are offset by the offset amounts calculated by the offset-amount calculating means.

According to one aspect, a tubular structure may include a base and a wrap. The base may have a first surface and second surface opposite one another, the first surface defining an elongate cavity, and the base having a tubular shape defining a longitudinal axis extending along the elongate cavity. The wrap may be supported on the second surface of the base, the wrap including a plurality of layers, and each layer having a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge coupled to one another along a respective spiral seam associated with the given layer and extending about the longitudinal axis of the base.
