Abstract
Strip casting of low carbon steels has been investigated using a laboratory twin roll machine with copper rolls. The following grades have been studied: a deep drawing low carbon (LC) steel, a LC steel with titanium addition, and a high strength low alloy (HSLA) grade. The casting behaviour of these steels has been examined, and the observed surface defects classified. Defects are most pronounced for the LC grade and significantly less for the HSLA steel and the LC steel with titanium addition. The as cast structure has been analysed. It can be modified by post-cast treatment, e.g. by normalisation or in line rolling. The mechanical properties of cold rolled and annealed strip materials and their textures are presented. Satisfactory sheet properties can be achieved both as hot band and as cold rolled sheet when adequate treatment steps are applied. Consequences for strip casting applications and future research are discussed.
