Abstract: A system for producing flat rolled products from thick-cast metal slabs includes: a continuous casting device, by which a flat continually cast product with a thickness of at least 160 mm can be continually cast; a separating device, arranged so as to adjoin the continuous casting device for separating the flat continually cast product into individual thick slabs; a hot-rolling mill, by which the thick slabs can be rolled to form the flat rolled product; a thick slab supplying device arranged transversely to the transport direction and positioned between the separating device and the rolling train; and an electric heating device arranged in front of the hot-rolling mill, for a direct hot charging process, said electric heating device allowing at least the thick slabs coming from the continuous casting device arranged in the common transport line to be heated to a hot-rolling temperature.

Abstract: A device and a method are described by which the process control, in particular temperature control, of a metal product passed through along a single running-through line is flexibly influenced by means of at least two adjacent segments. By exchanging segments, the process control can be adapted quickly and flexibly to a wide variety of metal products.

Abstract: A furnace for heating metal strips, and to a device and a method for producing metal strips by continuous casting and rolling. The device includes a casting machine, a furnace through which a metal strip can be transported in a conveying direction, a first external cutting apparatus and a second external cutting apparatus, the first external cutting apparatus being upstream of the furnace and the second external cutting apparatus being downstream of the furnace, in the conveying direction of the metal strip, and at least one rolling mill. A first internal cutting apparatus and a second internal cutting apparatus are provided inside the furnace. A segment of the metal strip between said internal cutting apparatuses can be separated by actuating the latter.

Abstract: A method for operating a rolling line with rolling mill stands arranged one behind the other in the rolling direction, for the rolling of rolling material from a previous final rolling dimension to a changed new final rolling dimension is disclosed. According to the method, the rolling is carried out in two temporal phases I and II. In the first temporal phase, the rolling is carried out with a first load redistribution with known wedge-on-wedge rolling. In the first load redistribution the last rolling mill stand maintains its previously set gap unchanged. To shorten a transition time and wedge length during a transition, the rolling mill stands drive pass changes in accordance with a second load redistribution. The second load redistribution, differently than in the first temporal phase I, dynamically drives the last rolling mill stand to the new final rolling dimension.

Abstract: A system for the continuous casting and subsequent flat rolling of a steel strip with an austenitic and/or ferritic microstructure and a thickness of less than 1.0 mm comprises a casting device with which a raw steel strip with a thickness in the range of 1.50 to 4.0 mm can be continuously cast. At least one hot rolling stand is coupled to the casting device, with which the raw steel strip can be roughed into the steel strip immediately after the casting process while still in the austenitic and/or ferritic microstructure range. At least one rolling module is arranged immediately after the hot rolling stand coupled to the casting device. The rolling module includes, in this order, a cooling device, a heating device and a hot rolling stand with which the roughed steel strip can be hot-rolled in the austenitic and/or ferritic microstructure range to specifications into the steel strip.
