Strip properties and processing in twin roll casting of stainless and low carbon steels

摘要

Metallurgical features of the twin-roll strip casting process are discussed. The as-cast structure of two austenitic stainless steels is evaluated using EPMA and metallography. Cleanness levels as reached in twin-roll strip casting are compared with conventional and thin slab casting. In-line annealing is described as a method for grain refinement. The scale layer on twin-roll cast strip is characterized for low carbon and stainless steels.
