FIELD: rolling continuously cast billets. SUBSTANCE: in mill for expanding hot rolled wide strip 11 made of thin or mean-thickness ingot between plant for continuous casting and rolling mill through-type furnace is arranged. Final temperature of ingot necessary for rolling process is set inside said furnace. According to invention it is possible to work by grinding or by fire dressing flaw-containing zones of ingots in apparatus for working surface arranged in the same manufacturing line between separate parts of through-type furnace. EFFECT: lowered cost, reduced manufacturing surface area, possibility for working ingots in one line without shifting them. 6 cl, 3 dwg
