A new design of a continuous mill is proposed in the article. A method has been developed for calculating the degree of use of the plasticity resource when rolling thin slabs on a new continuous mill using the data obtained in the MSC Super Forge environment. To determine the stress-strain state, it used measurement data in 5 stands. When rolling in the proposed mill steel D16 there is no violation of the continuity of the strip material. This is proved by calculation in the MSC Super Forge environment using the distribution of DUPR over the cross section of strips when rolling in a mill of a new design.
