Objective It is proposed to study pearlite reduced, pearlite-ferrite, and pearlite steels with and without microalloying by using a newly developed continuous casting simulator in connection with the hot deformation simulator WUMSI. Microstructure investigation should be accomplished by an extensive mechanical testing which gives the possibility to transfer the results directly in practice.
