A process and system for manufacturing metal strips of 0.14-20 mm thickness and metal sheets of 10-100 mm thickness from slabs (1) of thickness between 30 and 300 mm by continuous casting of the bow type. The slab (1) upon casting is fed without solution of continuity directly to the rolling step (11) after heating in an induction furnace (12) without any intermediate product. The rolled flat product is withdrawn as sheet (20) upon controlled cooling, by means of cutting and withdrawal device (14) or wound on a reel to form a coil (15) of a continuous strip severable by cutting device (14') downstream of a cooling system (13). Surface cooling devices (13') can be provided between rolling stands. The feed speed from continuous casting to the end of rolling is increasing step by step in relation to the thickness reductions and the quality of the end product, with regulation in cascade to the downstream direction.
