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.

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.

Furnace for heating metal strips, and device and method for producing metal strips by continuous casting and rolling

A method for producing a metal strip in a cast-rolling installation, the cast-rolling installation includes the following: a casting machine, a first furnace, a first shear, a roughing train, a second furnace, a second shear, a finishing train, a cooling section, a reeling system, and a third shear. In order to allow a flexible reaction to different operating conditions, at least one of the following operating modes is selected in order to produce the strip: a) a continuous rolling, in which the casting machine, the roughing train, and the finishing train are operatively connected together; b) a continuous rolling in the roughing train and a single-strip rolling in the finishing train; c) a single-strip rolling in the roughing train and a single-strip rolling in the finishing train; and d) a semi-continuous rolling in the roughing train and/or a semi-continuous rolling in the finishing train.

The invention relates to a method and a finishing train for hot-rolling starting material. Starting material is finished in several successive roll stands () in the finishing train, the material cooling off because of heat loss. The material has to be reheated in order for the temperature of the material not to drop below the predefined lower threshold temperature value at low speeds within and at the discharge end of the finishing train. In order to use as little energy as possible for said reheating process, the reheating process within the finishing train is carried out for the first time only when the temperature of the material risks falling below the lower threshold temperature value for the first time relative to the direction of flow of the material because of heat loss. Furthermore, the temperature of the material during the reheating process is increased only to the point where the temperature of the material will not drop below the lower threshold temperature value (T) while the material is conveyed onto a next heating device that is mounted downstream in the direction of flow of the material and until the material is discharged from the mill train.

A deflection for deflecting a strip in a reeling plant, in particular, of a metal strip from an initial channel to a final channel arranged above the initial channel and vice versa, wherein a drive acts with an upper drive roller on the upper side and with a lower drive roller on the lower side of the strip, can be improved when a temporarily pivotable into a strip, upper separating device is arranged downstream of the upper drive roller, and a temporarily pivotable into a strip, lower separating device is arranged downstream of the lower drive roller.
