Abstract
In a method for the production of hot-rolled wide strip in a production plant which includes a continuous casting plant for thin slabs having a thickness of between 40 and 70 mm, an equalizing furnace and a rolling mill, wherein the temperature of the thin slab when exiting the continuous casting plant is above 950.degree. C., the surface temperature of the slab is lowered between the continuous casting machine and the equalizing furnace over a sufficient depth of the slab, so that a conversion of the structure from austenite to ferrite/perlite takes place.

A method for the production of hot-rolled wide strip in a production plant including a continuous casting plant for thin slab having a thickness of between 40 and 70 mm, an equalizing furnace and a rolling mill, wherein the thin slab has a temperature when leaving the continuous casting plant which is above 950.degree. C., the method comprising lowering the temperature of the slab between the continuous casting plant and the equalizing furnace over a sufficient depth from a surface of the slab, so that a structure conversion from austenite to ferrite/perlite occurs.
