Energy-efficient production of a ferritic hot-rolled strip (6) in an integrated casting-rolling plant (1), which modifies the known processes for producing a ferritic hot-rolled strip (6) in an integrated casting-rolling plant (1) so that the ferritic hot-rolled strip (6) can be produced significantly more energy-efficiently but nevertheless has good metallurgical properties and a good surface quality.

A control for a sheet metal processing line with a descaler includes sensors that adjust the spray blast pattern produced by impellers and the sheet advancement rate during descaling. The control may position a nozzle of the impeller so when a surface condition of the edge of the sheet is more favorable than that of the center of the sheet, the impeller spray concentration moves toward the center, and when a surface condition of the center of the sheet is more favorable than that of a respective edge of the sheet, the impeller spray concentration moves away from the center of the sheet. The control may raise the sheet advancement rate when the surface condition of the center of the sheet is more favorable than a standard, and lower the sheet advancement rate when a surface condition of the center of the sheet is less favorable than a standard.

The invention relates to the field of pressure treatment of metals and can be used in the production of a cold-rolled strip. The problem addressed by the invention is that of being able to exclude a pickling operation in the preparation of semifinished rolled stock for cold rolling. Complete de-scaling of the surface of the semifinished rolled stock without using picking is provided by carrying out preliminary cold rolling of the semifinished rolled stock in rolling-mill rolls according to prescribed values for compression and for the ratio of compression to deformation zone length. The rolling can be carried out in one of two consecutively mounted mills.

A method for descaling a metal surface of a semifinished metal product, including the steps of: guiding the semifinished metal product in a transporting direction past nozzle head parts that rotate about rotation axes and are arranged alongside one another transversely to the transporting direction; and directing high-pressure fluid jets produced by nozzle elements arranged on the rotating nozzle head parts at the metal surface. The fluid jets also being blasted as far as the metal surface at a narrow point between two immediately adjacent nozzle head parts. The nozzle head parts rotate synchronously with one another at a preset angular position with respect to a rotation angle of a particular rotation axis of the nozzle head parts. The fluid jets produced by the nozzle elements are always blasted onto the metal surface past one another without coming into contact with one another.
