A conventional hot coiler drum applied in a steckel mill is usually processed by casting integrally. The conventional hot coiler drum usually only has a lifespan of 4 to 6 months because the conventional hot coiler drum rolls steel at 900-1200° C. It is also difficult to repair a defective conventional hot coiler drum since the conventional hot coiler drum is formed by integrally casting. Besides, the conventional hot coiler drum, formed by once integrally casting, has a diameter of 1.3 to 1.9 meters and a length of 3 to 5 meters, without a guarantee that all the used heat-resistant steel is processed by a solid solution, which affects the lifespan thereof. Moreover, there is no large-sized casting device in China and thus the conventional hot coiler drum mainly depends on import.
The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of a short lifespan and difficult repairing of a conventional hot coiler drum and provide a hot coiler drum working at 900-1200° C. and a method for producing the same.

A method for producing a hot coiler drum working at 900-1200° C. according to the present invention, includes the following steps:
(i) welding a drum body into a cylinder having a desired diameter, and then fitting the welded drum body onto a supporting piece of a tooling piece that has a same diameter as that of an inner wall of the drum body;
(ii) reserving space for a window in an axial direction of the drum body, except a zone of the window on the drum body, uniformly welding several radial rib plates on the inner wall of the drum body along the axial direction of the drum body and welding several axial rib plates on the inner wall of the drum body along the radial direction of the drum body;
(iii) welding two flanges respectively on two ends of the drum body;
(iv) opening a window at the reserved space in the axial direction of the drum body, and welding guiding rib plates on the radial rib plates and the axial rib plates arranged near the window;
(v) eliminating the supporting piece on the tooling piece and withdrawing the tooling piece from the flange on either end of the drum body to finish producing the hot coiler drum.
In the method for producing a hot coiler drum working at 900-1200° C. according to the present invention, the said window is opened in segments along the axial direction of the drum body;
In the method for producing a hot coiler drum working at 900-1200° C. according to the present invention, the said welding method is in a groove welding method;
In the method for producing a hot coiler drum working at 900-1200° C. according to the present invention, the amount of the said radial rib plates is from 4 to 30;
