DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTINUOUS CASTING AND STEEL SHEET ROLLING Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B21B1/46 B21B15/00 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises a continuous casting plant for producing the steel sheet, a first rolling unit connected to the continuous casting plant, a second rolling unit, which is spaced from the outlet side of the first rolling unit and comprises a rolling mill for rolling the steel sheet, and a cutting/unloading unit located between the first rolling unit and the second rolling unit. The cutting machine for cutting a portion of the steel sheet is spaced apart from the second rolling unit by a distance at least equal to the length of continuous billet and required for manufacturing and unloading the finished rolled steel sheet, and satisfying the formula: SL+6<D<2SL+12 where SL is the length of the continuous blank, m, D is distance between cutting-off machine and second rolling block, m. The method of steel sheet manufacture implements the change between the continuous rolling mode and periodic rolling mode. The method comprises a continuous casting stage for manufacturing the steel sheet, a rolling stage for rolling the steel sheet in the rolling mill, and a cutting stage for cutting the steel sheet between the continuous casting stage and the rolling stage in the periodic rolling mode.

EFFECT: prevention of continuous billet wastes.
