Objective The near-net-shape casting of carbon steel strip by the twin-roll process with subsequent "in-line" processing opens up many possibilities for manufacturing excellent cold rollable products with commercial combinations of properties. In this multinational project, strip of different carbon steel grades will be produced and processed "in-line" and "off-line".The different grades of strip will be characterized in the as-cast and in the coiled state, as well as in the processed state. The material properties, as well as the hot forming behaviour, and the transformations during cooling will be investigated. Results from this technical research work are expected to provide information on optimum processing and enduser properties for these directly manufactured strip grades, and to reduce processing costs.
