Claims10
An apparatus for producing steel strip comprising:
- a source of continuously cast steel strip billet, the steel strip billet including a solidified outer casting shell and a residual liquid core;
- a set of no more than three pairs of deformation rollers, located downstream of the source, for engaging and deforming the steel strip billet as it passes therethrough, the deformation rollers being positioned so that a residual liquid core is present in the steel strip billet as the steel strip billet exits the set of no more than three pairs of deformation rollers;
- a drive device for driving the steel strip billet positioned downstream of the set of no more than three pairs of deformation rollers;
- and
- guide rollers positioned downstream of the set of no more than three pairs of deformation rollers.
