The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of extruding, rolling and drawing metal wire or rod, in particular to a method for rolling metal wire or rod with assistance of combined static magnetic field, characterized in that, a combined static magnetic field is applied before and during extrusion and pulling of a metal wire or rod. A specific method is: providing, in a moving direction of a metal wire or rod, a gradient static magnetic field generated by a combination of a permanent magnet and a steady electromagnet; and after a raw material for rolling the metal wire or rod is processed by the gradient static magnetic field, performing rolling extrusion and pulling on the material. For multiple passes of rolling extrusion and pulling, the static magnetic field processing is performed before each pass of rolling. By means of the method, the deformation resistance of the material is significantly reduced, defects of rolling are decreased, the size accuracy and uniformity of finished products is high, and the mechanical properties, especially strength and toughness, of the material are enhanced, thereby realizing the reinforcement of both the strength and toughness of the material.

A titanium slab is appropriate for hot rolling, is produced by electron beam melting furnace, has superior linearity so that it can be fed into a hot rolling machine without performing breaking down process or other subsequent correcting process after production, and has good structure having no cracks at the corner parts. A process for production thereof is also provided. The titanium slab is directly produced by a mold of an electron beam melting furnace, and has the deformation of not more than 5 mm for the thickness direction versus the longitudinal direction and deformation of not more than 2.5 mm for the width direction versus the longitudinal direction, both per a length of 1000 mm of the slab. The process for production of this titanium slab for hot rolling has a step of using an electron beam melting furnace in which its rectangular mold has mold walls of a long side and mold walls of a short side, and a step of pouring molten metal from one of the mold walls of a short side. Furthermore, a mold having chamfered parts at the corner parts can be used in the process.

A device for rolling of pipe blanks has a planetary cross-rolling mill, an advancing bed, a pipe blank feed, a pipe blank advancing unit that pushes the pipe blanks through the planetary cross-rolling mill, proceeding from the advancing bed, the unit having at least one advancing apparatus, and having a mandrel rod and a mandrel rod holder. The pipe blank feed has an axial pipe blank conveying unit that conveys a pipe blank axially into a readiness position, which is provided axially behind the mandrel rod holder. The advancing apparatus is disposed between the planetary cross-rolling mill and the mandrel rod holder, and has a slide.
