A method and a device for producing a metal strip by continuous casting and rolling, in which a thin slab is initially cast into a casting machine, and is subsequently rolled in at least one rolling train using primary heat from the casting cycle. The cast thin slab is passed between the casting machine and the at least one rolling train and at least one holding oven as well as at least one induction oven. The holding oven and the induction oven are activated or deactivated according to a selected mode of operation, that is, a first mode of operation for the continuous production of the metal strip and a second mode of operation for the discontinuous production of the metal strip.

Method and device for producing a metal strip by continuous casting and rolling

A method of manufacturing a metal strip includes casting a slab () or preliminary strip (') in a casting machine () and subsequently rolling the cast slab () or preliminary strip (&#x2032;) in at least one rolling train () in a first operating mode with the at least one rolling train being connected with the casting machine for continuously manufacturing the metal strip, and in a second operating mode removing the cast slab () or preliminary strip (&#x2032;) from the main transport line () with a shuttle system arranged between the casting machine () and the at least one rolling train (), storing the removed slab () or preliminary strip (&#x2032;), and subsequently transporting the removed slab () or preliminary strip back into the main transport line, with the removed slab () or preliminary strip (&#x2032;) being heated to a desired temperature or maintained at a desired temperature prior to the transport back into the main transport line () for discontinuously manufacturing the metal strip.
