Apparatus for continuous casting and subsequent coiling slabs of intermediate thickness with a system of furnaces and facilities for storage and arrangement of slabs

摘要

In the present invention there is disclosed an apparatus intended for manufacture of coiled plates, sheet in coiled form or discrete plate. The apparatus includes a continuous strip caster forming a strand of intermediate thickness; a shear for cutting the strand into a plurality of slabs of desired lengths; a slab sequencing and storing device; one or two reheat furnaces for selectively reheating the slabs; a feed and run back table at the exit of one reheat furnace; a single or twin stand hot reversing mill for reducing the slab to a coiling thickness in a number of flat passes; and a pair of coiler furnaces located on opposite sides of the hot reversing mill.
