Hot rolling of strip from thin cast sections

摘要

In a process for rolling out strip from continuous cast bars, several continuous castings are produced in parallel prodn. lines, and sepd. into individual sections. After homogenising in a compensating oven and raising the rolling temp. the sections are transferred to a rolling line. More efficient balancing of casting and rolling capacity is achieved through the use of a swivelling oven in both casting lines and the rolling line. By alternately moving each oven at an angle to the casting lines the metal sections are transferred from each line directly into the single rolling line. The plant has several casting lines each with a swivelling oven. Ovens in adjacent lines are offset by one oven length. On the outer lines the pivot pt. of the ovens is at the rear end and on the central line is at the front.
