Patent ID: 8127826

Claim:
A method for producing a cast steel strip by a strip casting plant, comprising conducting steel melt into a melt space formed by and between two casting rolls and by and between two sideplates at the casting rolls, forming slab shells in the melt space by cooling surface areas of the casting rolls and bringing the slab shells together in a strip forming cross section between the casting rolls to form an at least partly solidified steel strip, guiding the cast steel strip along the surface area of one of the two casting rolls from a vertical casting direction out of the melt space into an essentially horizontal transport direction and away from the one casting roll, the one casting roll being on the side of the melt space in the horizontal transport direction, and transporting the cast steel strip being supplied essentially horizontally on a transport device to a strip winding device and there winding the strip into a coil, wherein during guiding of the cast steel strip in the essentially horizontal transport direction, the cast steel strip continues to be guided along the surface area of the one of the two casting rolls while guiding the cast steel strip through a transport channel located below the one of the two casting rolls without pressing the steel strip against the surface area of the one of the two casting rolls, and, in the transport channel, cooling the strip in a range of 15 K/s to 200 K/s, and setting a strip tension in the region of a lower vertex of the one casting roll to a value at which the steel strip bears against the one casting roll, essentially free of slip, over essentially the entire arc of a quarter circle around the one casting roll.
