SIX-HIGH ROLLING MILL STAND AND FINISHING MILL TRAIN FOR HOT ROLLING AN INTERMEDIATE STRIP INTO A THIN STRIP

The invention concerns a six-high rolling (also known as sexto) mill stand (1) for hot rolling an intermediate strip (2) into a thin strip (3) and a method for producing a thin strip (3) in a combined casting and rolling installation (40), wherein the thickness of the thin strip (3) is < 0.8 mm. It is an object of the invention to come up with a six-high rolling mill stand (1) that is suitable for hot-rolling of ultra-thin steel strip (3) with a thickness < 0.8 mm in a combined casting and rolling installation (1), whereby the hot rolling can be done in long uninterrupted sequences, without any change of the work rolls (4a, 4b), and very good geometry of the strip due to moderate rolling forces. This object is solved by the six-high rolling mill stand (1) for hot rolling an intermediate strip (2) into a thin strip (3) according to claim 1.
