Abstract

A continuous casting plant for a metal product, comprising: an ingot mold (1) comprising a crystallizer (7); a casting curve (2) arranged downstream of the ingot mold (1) and comprising a first group of containment segments (4), by means of which the product passes from a substantially vertical position to a substantially horizontal position; a straightening system provided in a horizontal stretch of the plant after said casting curve (2) and comprising at least one straightening segment (5), arranged downstream of said first group of containment segments (4); a second group of containment segments (4′) arranged in said horizontal stretch downstream of said at least one straightening segment (5); a reheating furnace (6) arranged downstream of said second group of containment segments (4′); wherein there is provided a quenching group (3) immediately downstream of said at least one straightening segment (5).
