Abstract (en)

[origin: US2016136717A1] A trailing end of a first metal strip is connected to a leading end of a second metal strip in a strip-treatment plant by first forming at least one of the strips as a cold-rolled, non-annealed metal strip and then superposing the trailing end of the first strip and the leading end of the second strip at an overlap. Then the strips are connected at the overlap at at least 20 connection points per meter of the strips by clinching without through cutting.
