The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, for use in a solidified-bending method. Said device comprises, downstream of the continuous casting mold, a straight strand guide ( ) and a bending device ( ) that releases the cast strand path ( ) so that the cold strand ( ) can be introduced. The object of the invention is to utilize the height of the device that has so far not been used for supporting the strand or to reduce the height of the entire installation. To this end, the bending device ( ) comprises a folding segment ( ) that is pivoted on the fixed side ( ) and that is provided with a row of rollers ( ) that limit the bending path ( ) in the operational position. The bending device further comprises on the loose side ( ) a loose element ( ) that can be swiveled into the operational position ( ) or that can be swiveled out from this position. The bending rollers ( ) of said loose element form the counter-rollers ( ) to the row of rollers ( ) in the operational position ( ).

The invention relates to a deflection method for deflecting a strip ( ), especially a metal strip ( ), from an initial guide channel ( ) to a final guide channel ( ) which runs next to said initial guide channel ( ). When passing through the initial guide channel ( ), the strip ( ) comprises an underside (II) which faces away from the final guide channel ( ) and has an upper side (I) which faces toward the final guide channel ( ). In order to support the deflection of the metal strip ( ) from the initial guide channel ( ) to the final guide channel ( ), the invention provides that the strip ( ) is subjected to the action of a medium ( ) on the underside (II) thereof during the deflection. The invention also relates to a corresponding deflection device.

A method and an apparatus for adjusting the profile of a continuously cast slab, particularly of a thin slab, wherein the profile is determined in accordance with given requirements with respect to its camber or wedge shape by the gap geometry of strand guide rollers of the guide segments of a strand guiding system. The method includes determining the adjustment of the strand guide rollers at least in the area of the residual solidification and the adjusting forces of adjusting means required for this purpose in such a way that a predeterminable desired value for the slab profile can be adjusted for any characteristic state of operation.

In a method for changing a billet section of a continuous billet casting device from an initial section to a final section, the opposed billet sides interact with oppositely positioned roll supports of a billet guide arranged below a continuous casting die. The roll supports have segments with rolls, and each segment is individually adjustable with respect to its angular position relative to the billet. A controlled sequence of adjusting steps of the segments successively arranged in a direction of continuous casting is carried out, wherein, for reducing the section of the billet, the segments are advanced successively toward the billet in the continuous casting direction and, and for increasing the section of the billet, the segments are moved successively away from the billet in the continuous casting direction.

In a surface processing method for removing surface flaws, surface contaminants, and the like from a continuously cast metal product in a hot state, at least a portion of at least one metal product surface is cooled for a defined temperature decrease of a surface to be treated and a surface treatment is then performed. The device therefor has a cooling device for cooling at least a portion of at least one metal product surface for a defined temperature decrease of a surface to be treated and a surface treatment device downstream of the cooling device in the product conveying direction. The production arrangement for this has a continuous slab casting device, a heating arrangement with at least one of a heating device and a temperature equilibration device arranged downstream of the casting device. A hot mill train is arranged downstream of the heating arrangement in the conveying direction. The surface processing device for removing surface flaws, has a device for cooling at least a portion of at least one metal product surface for a defined temperature decrease of a surface to be treated and a surface treatment device downstream of the cooling device in the product conveying direction. The surface processing device is arranged between the casting device and the hot mill train.
