FIELD: process engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to metallurgy and may be used for strip hot rolling at combination mill. Single-pass continuous casting machine teems the product of rectangular or equivalent cross-section with long-to-short length ratio of 1.02-4. Casting is cut to bloom lengths of 16-150 m, 10-100 t in weight to be fed to furnace for curing or heating. Furnace first section axis is aligned with casting axis. Bloom length inside the furnace are transferred cross wisely to second section with its axis shifted relative to furnace first section and parallel therewith. But it is aligned with rolling axis shifted relative to casting axis and parallel therewith. Bloom lengths cross-sections are reduced at rolling mill that defines the rolling axis.
EFFECT: continuous casting at outage of rolling mill.
