FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to continuous casting. Metal product (1) with a fully hardened core downstream of crystalliser (2) is subjected to deformation on curved and straight sections of curved continuous casting plant (10). Withdrawal/straightening unit (4) of plant (10) comprises a pair of rollers (4A, 4B, 4C, 5A, 5B, 5C), alternating so that axes of rotation of rollers of adjacent pairs are perpendicular. Thus, product (1) is alternately deformed in two directions, by changing its perimeter and cross-section, which increases speed of product (1).
EFFECT: increasing rate of release of product to required product feed rate in rolling mill.
