Abstract (en)

A method and apparatus of making coiled plate, 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. <IMAGE>
