Resumo

Rod and bar production in specialty steels is continuously gaining in importance. In order to cope with its ever-increasing quality-related demands (tolerances, surfaces, mechanical properties) and to enable the economical production of all the sophisticated specialty steel grades, suitable and highly flexible rolling mills are required. The paper summarizes the outstanding features and flexibility of the 3-roll technology as compared to the conventional 2-high mill. These are especially related to the deformation efficiency together with its advantages concerning yield and utilization of the rolling mills, the extremely good qualities achieved as well as the economical processing of the rolled products in the manufacturing stages downstream. Examples of the very different ways of application in numerous plants worldwide describe the utmost flexibility of KOCKS 3-roll blocks for complete new wire rod and bar mills or respective rolling mill upgrades. There it is shown that for instance, by just installing one or more of the various existing types of 3-roll blocks within the limited space available in existing mills, it is possible to produce world-class quality rod and bars with higher economy, thus ensuring the necessary improvement of the companies' market position.
