First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An endless rolling method based on temperature uniformity control is characterized in that manufacturing of a slab comprises following steps:
forming a slab at a temperature of 1500° C. by continuously casting,
passing the slab through a double regenerative soaking furnace, wherein temperature consistency and uniformity control are achieved and a temperature of the slab is 1300° C.,
descaling the slab in a descaling box wherein the temperature is reduced to 1250° C.,
rough rolling the slab with high pressure by passing through a rough rolling mill, wherein the temperature of the slab is reduced to 1000±20° C.,
passing the slab through an induction heating arrangement to increase the temperature to 1058±15° C.,
finish rolling the slab by passing through a finish rolling mill, wherein the temperature of the slab is reduced to 950±20° C.,
passing the slab through a laminar cooling device to reduce the temperature to 650±20° C., and
taking-up the slab by a coiler;
wherein the double regenerative soaking furnace comprises an upper double-burner nozzle and a lower double-burner nozzle, such that double-sided heating of the slab in the furnace is achieved by diffusing type burning of the double regenerative soaking furnace to reduce longitudinal temperature difference and cross section temperature difference of the slab, edge temperature defect of the slab is reduced, surface quality of a finished product plate is improved;
wherein the furnace can be used as a cooling furnace, and when lower temperature is required by the rough rolling, the slab is not heated in the furnace, and natural cooling or heat preservation is conducted;
wherein the induction heating arrangement of bonding a transverse magnetic field and a longitudinal magnetic field is adopted to perform induction heating, and the transverse magnetic field causes a temperature difference between a central area and an edge of the slab after heating; the longitudinal magnetic field causes a large-temperature difference in a thickness direction of the slab; the temperature in the longitudinal magnetic field is uniform in the width direction, and the temperature in the transverse magnetic field is uniform in the thickness direction, the longitudinal magnetic field is arranged in front of the transverse magnetic field so as to improve initial rolling temperature, and skin effect and edge effect can be avoided by induction heating arrangement of bonding the transverse magnetic field and the longitudinal magnetic field such that temperature difference between thickness direction and width direction of the slab is reduced, therefore transverse and longitudinal temperature uniformity of the slab before entering the finish rolling mill can be improved;
wherein the finish rolling mill is provided to serve as a standby stand, such that in working state, when a certain rack roller in a five-stand rolling mill is worn, the standby stand is put into work, and the worn roller of the worn rolling mill is lifted and exited from a rolling production, and on-line non-shutdown change roller of the finish rolling mill is realized;
wherein the slab is subjected to rough rolling through the rough rolling mill, is subjected to finish rolling through the finish rolling mill, such that microstructure of the slab is austenite, and then the slab is subjected to laminar cooling, such that the microstructure is converted into ferrite and pearlite.
