The present paper describes the properties of low carbon steels in various processing states during the twin roll Strip casting of low carbon steels has been route. It is shown that composition adjustment can be an investigated using a laboratory twin roll machine efficient countermeasure against casting defects. The resulting with copper rolls. The following grades have been material properties are characterised not only by strength studied: a deep drawing low carbon (LC) steel, a LC and ductility but also with respect to r 90 value (a deep steel with titanium addition, and a high strength drawing parameter) and texture. low alloy (HSLA) grade. The casting behaviour of High strength drawing grades are also of interest for these steels has been examined, and the observed strip casting. To the authors' knowledge, no results from surface defects classified. Defects are most twin roll casting of such steels have been published before pronounced for the LC grade and significantly less the present investigation. The casting behaviour of the steels for the HSLA steel and the LC steel with titanium and expected strip properties are discussed. 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 EXPERIMENTAL properties of cold rolled and annealed strip materialsThe steels investigated were produced at the Max-Planckand their textures are presented. Satisfactory sheet Institut (MPI) on a laboratory twin roll caster with a properties can be achieved both as hot band and furnace capacity of 70 kg. The material was induction melted, as cold rolled sheet when adequate treatment alloyed, aluminium killed, teemed into a ladle, poured into steps are applied. Consequences for strip casting a tundish, and passed through a ceramic filter into the applications and future research are discussed.submerged entry nozzle, which had two lateral outlets. The I&S/1498 superheat in the tundish, above the filter, was typically 20-50 K.
