Method for producing a strand in a continuous casting plant and continuous casting plant

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a strand in a continuous casting plant, in which the strand is freed from scale after being deflected into the horizontal by means of a descaler, wherein the descaler is arranged behind the supported strand guide in the conveying direction of the strand.To design such a method in such a way as to ensure optimal operation of the descaler, it provides the following steps: a) Determining the temperature of the strand in the conveying direction upstream of the descaler at a number of points along the conveying direction and across the strand thickness and / or width; b) Determining the thickness of the forming scale and / or individual scale phases on the strand surface along the conveying direction up to the descaler based on the determined strand temperature; c) Controlling the intensity of the descaling process by means of a plant control system depending on the thickness of the formed scale and / or individual scale phases on the strand surface determined at the location of the descaler. Furthermore, the invention relates to a continuous casting plant.
