A process is disclosed for guiding a slab, in particular a steel slab, in a continuous casting plant with a soft reduction section.

A slab (1) moves on a slab roller table (3).

Disclosed are a mold and a method for integrally manufacturing functional cored slab and solid slab with a polygonal grid honeycomb structure.

Facilities are provided for eliminating the defects by processing, or for eliminating a defective part of a slab or an entire slab as scrap-iron.

The invention also relates to a plant for producing a metal slab or a metal strip.

The invention relates to a process for the continuous casting of a slab (1), in particular of steel, wherein the cast slab (1) is conveyed through a furnace (2) and the slab (1) is subjected to a descaling operation.

  As a result, there is produced a cast slab of a non-oriented magnetic steel.

The invention relates to a device for producing a metal strip (1) by continuous casting, using a casting machine (2) in which a slab (3), preferably a thin slab, is cast.

A slab having a given composition is heated to 1,280ºC or higher.

The invention relates to a device for producing a metal strip (1) by continuous casting, using a casting machine (2) in which a slab (3), preferably a thin slab, is cast.

A method of controlling a slab turning device used in a rolling line having a rolling mill for rolling a slab heated in a heating furnace.

The invention relates to a method for casting a strand (1) of liquid metal which is cast into a mould (3) and withdrawn from said mould as a strand.

A press for reducing the width of a metal slab has a pair of plattens which are arranged to engage opposite edges of the slab.

The process includes soaking a steel slab with a desired chemical composition within a temperature range of 1200-1350°C, followed by hot rolling of the slab into hot strip.

A method of making blanks form a slab provides for dividing the slab into blanks simultaneously with compression of the divided sections of the slab along two mutually perpendicular directions.
