Estimating the term…
A continuous casting plant suitable for casting steel slabs, wherein the partially solidified strand composed of a strand shell and a partially liquid core is guided after emerging from the mold during the further solidification between the rollers of a strand guiding unit which has a loose or movable side and a fixed side, and wherein the strand shell forms in the areas between always two rollers spaced apart from each other in the casting direction a deformation in the form of a bulge with an increase of the cross-section. For compensating for an increase of the cross-section of a respective strand portion, a counter-pressure is applied from the outside against the strand area located opposite the strand portion with the increased cross-section in order to reduce the cross-section.
A continuous casting plant for manufacturing steel slabs, comprising a continuous casting mold and a vertically extending strand guiding unit with guiding segments each having a loose side and a fixed side with rollers for guiding a strand composed of a strand shell and a liquid core after emerging from the mold and during a further solidification, wherein the rollers on the loose side and on the fixed side of each segment are offset relative to each other by at least a portion of a distance between the roller, wherein the rollers are offset relative to each other at most half the distance between the rollers.
