The invention relates to a roll stand, comprising: a working roll, which is mounted in the roll stand floatingly and for rotation about an axis of rotation extending axially and which has two axially opposite end faces; and at least one bearing assembly, which is arranged on one of the two end faces of the working roll and by means of which the working roll is floatingly supported in the roll stand and which has a housing, in which the working roll is mounted using a fixed bearing. According to the invention, the bearing assembly has a supporting device, by means of which the bearing assembly can be axially supported in the roll stand.

A rolling mill is provided with: a roll for rolling a metal plate, the roll being capable of shifting in an axial direction and having a tapered portion at an end portion in the axial direction; and a heating unit configured to form an expansion portion protruding in a radial direction in the tapered portion by heating the tapered portion.

A six-high rolling (also known as sexto) mill stand that is suited for hot rolling an intermediate strip into a thin strip that is less than 0.8 mm thick. A combined casting and rolling installation that includes the six-high rolling mill stand allowing for hot rolling in long uninterrupted sequences, without any change of the work rolls to obtain a strip with good geometry due to moderate rolling forces.

This invention relates to thermal spray coatings and processes onto non-smooth surfaces. The coating and processes can coat non-smooth surfaces without substantial degradation of the underlying surface texture or profile of the non-smooth surfaces so as to sufficiently preserve the underlying surface texture or profile. The ability for coating fractional coverage to maintain the surface profile while maintaining wear resistance is unprecedented by conventional thermal spray processes

The invention concerns a 4-high/6-high/18 HS cassette-type roll stand in which bending force is transmitted to bending journals (6) of roll inserts (7) by piston-cylinder units that are connected with Mae West blocks (3). Here, the piston at the piston rod (1) is fixedly connected with the Mae West block (3) and the cylinders (4) fit around the bending journals (6) at the inserts (7) of the rolls, so that thereby bending force can be transmitted directly to the bending journals (6) of the roll inserts (7).

A thickness meter detects a thickness of an electrode plate of a secondary battery at three or more points in a width direction of the electrode plate. A calculator calculates three feature amounts of a first deviation between the thickness target value and a thickness measurement value of a point closest to a first compression mechanism among the three or more points, a second deviation between the thickness target value and a thickness measurement value of a point closest to a second compression mechanism among the three or more points, and a secondary component of a thickness profile of the electrode plate from thickness measurement values at the three or more points and the thickness target value, and adaptively changes the setting values of the first compression mechanism, the second compression mechanism, a first bend mechanism, and a second bend mechanism on the basis of the three feature amounts.
