FOUNDRY AND ROLLING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B21B27/02 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: foundry and rolling machine comprises a pouring device, which pours melt metal to form a slab of a certain width, a pair of finishing rolls that clamp the slab by means of rolling and a displacement device that may displace the finishing rolls in according axial directions. Elimination of the necessity to continuously use a displacement device to increase evenness of clamping is provided by the fact that the contour of the peripheral surface of each finishing roll has a shape, at which the first contour and the second contour cover each other, besides, the first contour comprises the following: edge sections with a shape that corresponds to the average value of thickness variation in edge sections so that the clamping along slab width during rolling is homogeneous, and the edge thickness is equal to the average value; and a central section placed between these sections, and the second contour that includes edge sections, which have an angle of inclination that is steeper relative to the axis than the central section, so that the distance between edge sections facing each other in one of a pair of finishing rolls and the other of a pair of finishing rolls changes when finishing rolls are moved by a displacement device in opposite directions.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at increasing homogeneity of cast slab clamping along width.
