摘要:
A method and a rolling stand arrangement for rolling in a reversing operation a finished section from a preliminary section produced in a continuous casting plant, wherein the preliminary section has a web-like portion corresponding to a web of the finished section and flange-like increased thickness portions corresponding to flanges of the finished section. The rolling stand arrangement includes a rolling unit in a first rolling line with a free runout and a vertical stand for acting on the flange-like increased thickness portions of the preliminary section in order to upset the web-like portion of the preliminary section. A compact rolling stand group arranged in a second rolling line includes a first universal stand on an entry side, a second universal stand on an exit side, and an edging stand arranged between the first and second universal stands. The first rolling line and the second rolling line extend parallel to one another. A transverse conveying unit is arranged following the rolling unit and immediately in front of the entry side of the compact rolling stand group for conveying the preliminary section from the first rolling line to the second rolling line.

A mold assembly for continuous casting has a plurality of open-ended molds. The mold assembly further has a cooling member which is common to all of the molds and cooperates with each mold to define one or more cooling passages therewith. The cooling member, which is provided with one or more pairs of coolant inlet and outlet bores, is in the form of a cooling jacket or in the form of a back-up plate depending upon whether the molds are tube molds or plate molds. The mold assembly is rotatably mounted on a mold table having a casting location at which a mold is positioned during a casting operation. A coolant supply and coolant discharge conduit are arranged in the mold table adjacent the casting location. In operation, one of the molds of the assembly is positioned at the casting location with the remaining molds being in standby positions. At least one pair of the coolant inlet and outlet bores in the cooling member is aligned with the coolant supply and discharge conduits in the mold table. Molten metal is introduced into the mold to form a continuously cast strand. When the mold is to be changed, the introduction of molten metal into the mold is terminated. The trailing end of the strand is withdrawn from the mold, the supply of coolant to the mold is discontinued, and the mold assembly is rotated to bring another mold into the casting position. In this manner, substitution of one mold for another may be accomplished rapidly and without removing the supply vessel for the molten metal.
