Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for reducing the thickness of a strip of metal 121 by hot-roll-forming, wherein the strip of metal 123 comprises a first thickness of 2.0mm up to 5.0mm prior to the process and the strip of metal 123 with the first thickness is processed to a strip of metal 125 with a second thickness of 0.6mm to 2.5mm by at least one pair of rollers 103, wherein the second thickness is smaller than the first thickness, comprising the following steps:- heating the strip of metal 123 with the first thickness to a temperature above a recrystallization temperature of the metal, thus a pre-heated strip of metal 123 with the first thickness is present,- introducing the pre-heated strip 123 of metal with the first thickness into the pair of rollers 107, whereas the pair of rollers 107 is adjusted to a distance to reduce the first thickness to the second thickness by roll-forming,- processing the pre-heated strip of metal 123 with the first thickness through the pair of rollers 107, thus the strip of metal 125 with the second thickness is formed,thus, the thickness of a strip of metal 121 is reduced. The invention further relates to a system for roll-forming a strip of metal 121 by hot-roll-forming.
