Abstract: Method and device to reduce and eliminate vibrations in a rolling stand for plane rolled products comprising working rolls associated with by motor a kinematic chain, there being included nozzles to deliver a mixture of water and lubricant to the surface of each of the working rolls; the method providing to measure the effective value of torque transmitted to each of the working rolls and to selectively vary the percentage of lubricant contained in the mixture delivered to each of the working rolls according to the effective torque measured.

Abstract: Compact continuous casting line for thin slabs, the continuous casting line comprising at least a curved segment and a subsequent straight segment, the casting line comprising at least an ingot mould (12) connected at the outlet with an extraction and possible soft reduction assembly (13) associated at the end with at least a drawing assembly (14) consisting of pinch rolls (15), the drawing assembly (14) being followed by at least a shearing assembly (16), an extractor device (17) to extract the dummy bar and by a possible temperature-restoration furnace (21, 121), there also being included at least a descaling device (20) using water, the descaling device (20) being arranged upstream of the shearing assembly (16), and the temperature-restoration furnace (21, 121) being arranged in a position near the outlet of the shearing assembly (16).
