Abstract
A method and a plant for rolling hot-rolled wide strip from continuously cast thin slabs of ferritic/pearlitic microalloyed structural steels with a microalloy with vanadium and/or with niobium and/or with titanium in a CSP plant or compact strip production plant, wherein the cast slab strand is supplied divided into rolling lengths through an equalizing furnace to a multiple-stand CSP rolling train and is continuously rolled in the CSP rolling train into hot-rolled wide strip, is then cooled in a cooling stretch and is reeled into coils. For achieving optimum mechanical properties in hot-rolled wide strip by thermomechanical rolling, a controlled structure development is carried out when the thin slabs travel through the CSP plant.
