Abstract
An integrated plant for the production of elongated metal products, such as bars and rods, is described in which the product is initially cast in continuous caster equipment and conducted toward a rolling mill which is positioned in-line with the continuous caster equipment. A tunnel furnace is disposed between the continuous caster equipment and the rolling mill for heating, equalizing and/or holding the product at a predetermined rolling temperature and a descaling assembly operates to descale the product prior to delivery to the rolling mill.
