Abstract:
A rolling method for a metal strip (6) in a reverse rolling mill (1) with an upstream and a downstream coiler (4, 5),wherein the strip (6) with a strip thickness (d) is removed from the upstream coiler (4) at a strip temperature (T) above a set point temperature (T*), passes through the reverse rolling mill (1) with a first reduction per pass of maximally 5% at a travel speed (v) and is wound up by the downstream coiler (5), wherein the travel speed (v) is selected such that the strip (6) has reached the set point temperature (T*) when being wound up, andwherein the strip (6) is then removed subsequently from the downstream coiler (5), passes through the reverse rolling mill (1) with a second reduction per pass of at least 10%, and is wound up by the upstream coiler (4).
