METHOD AND CONTINUOUS CASTING AND ROLLING PLANT FOR SEMI-ENDLESS OR ENDLESS ROLLING BY CASTING A METAL STRAND, ESPECIALLY A STEEL STRAND, WHICH IS CUT TO LENGTH AS REQUIRED AFTER SOLIDIFICATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method and casting roller plant for the semi-endless or endless rolling by casting of a metal, in particular a steel strip (1a), which may be transversely separated as required after solidification. The casting strip part lengths (20) are fed to a roller furnace (2) for heating and equilibration at the rolling temperature and the partial lengths (20) for rolling out are fed to a rolling train (3) for rolling, whereby the strip casting is continued uninterrupted during the rolling operation. According to the invention, a closer matching of the strip casting and the rolling can be carried out. whereby the casting speed (VC) is reduced for a roller change such that between the end of rolling a preceding multiple length (21) and the insertion of anew partial length (20) or multiple lengths (21) into the rolling gear a sufficient buffer time for a roller exchange is provided.
