Abstract
A rolling line for the production of flat product includes a casting machine to continuously case a thin slab, a temperature maintenance and homogenization unit, a rolling unit a forming stand or roughing stand connected to the exit of the casting machine to reduce the thickness of the slab. The forming stand or roughing stand is configured to perform an adaptive reduction of the thickness of the cast slab smaller than or equal to about 65% at least as a function of the thickness, width and type of material of the finished flat product. The rolling unit is configured to perform a reduction of the reduction of the thin slab coming from the temperature maintenance and homogenization unit to a thickness comprised between about 1.2 mm and about 20 mm by three or fewer double rolling passes through the double rolling stand.
