Abstract: A process for thin strip production integrates continuous casting and rolling, with steps including continuous casting, rough rolling, induction heating, finish rolling, laminar cooling, high-speed shearing, and coiling. A key feature is the in-line heating between casting and rough rolling, where wide surfaces, narrow surfaces, and corners of the casting blank are heated simultaneously. This process improves rough rolling efficiency, enhances uniformity and thickness stability of thin strips, reduces out-of-tolerance rates, and minimizes rolling-induced cracks.

Abstract: The invention discloses a thin strip production process employing continuous casting and continuous rolling, which sequentially includes continuous casting, rough rolling, induction heating, finish rolling, laminar cooling, high-speed shearing and finished product coiling; the process is characterized by further comprising performing in-line heating between the continuous casting and the rough rolling that wide surfaces, narrow surfaces and corners of a casting blank are heated simultaneously during the in-line heating. The present invention effectively reduces the requirements for rough rolling equipment, improves the efficiency of the rough rolling, improves the uniformity of finished thin strips, reduces the out-of-tolerance percentage, improves the thickness stability of the finished thin strips, and further reduces rolling-induced cracks of the thin strips.
