Introduction: The Engineering Process of Cold Rolled Ribbed Rebar
Cold-rolled ribbed steel bars are widely applied in precast concrete components, industrial flooring mesh, and high-rise structural elements. The automated Cold Rolled Ribbed Steel Bar Production Line transforms hot-rolled low-carbon wire rods into high-tensile reinforcement bars through continuous mechanical descaling, cold reduction rolling, active rib forming, stress-relieving heat treatment, and precision cutting.
Step-by-Step Production Process & Workflow
- Payoff & Mechanical Descaling: Raw wire rod coils are smoothly paid off and passed through high-efficiency multi-wheel descaling rollers to thoroughly eliminate surface rust and oxide scale without chemical pickling.
- Cold Reduction Rolling: The wire passes through multi-stand rolling cassettes where tungsten carbide rollers accurately reduce the wire diameter to the target pre-ribbing size.
- Active Rib Forming: Precision crescent or spiral rib profiles are imparted onto the wire surface under high rolling force, ensuring consistent rib height, spacing, and inclination angles complying with international standards.
- Inline Stress-Relieving Induction Heating: Online intermediate frequency induction heating restores metal ductility and significantly improves total elongation (Agt ≥ 5%), eliminating internal micro-cracks.
- High-Speed Flying Shear & Automated Coiling: Synchronized flying shears cut the finished rebar to preset lengths (3m–12m) without stopping the line, or transfer the wire to dual-head horizontal take-up winders for layer coiling.
