Abstract:
A method of continuously casting and finish-rolling a cast slab within a predetermined finished width tolerance, wherein for the cast slab and any subsequent slab an adjustment of a mold position is carried out by mold adjusting units in accordance with different rolling conditions, the method comprisingfor achieving a predetermined finished width of the rolled slab within a tolerance range, initially carrying out a preadjustment of the positions of the mold adjusting units, while considering extreme slab width dimensions of a planned production program,carrying out a computation for an optimum use of the mold adjusting units and adjusting units of a finishing train for each cast slab and any subsequent slab, andwith an existing entering width of the cast slab into the finishing train, carrying out a reoptimization of the finished width by means of the adjusting units of the finishing train.
