2 Evolution of microstructures and product opportunities in low carbon steel strip casting by K. Mukunthan and L. Strezov BHP Minerals Development R. Mahapatra and W. Blejde BHP Steel, Flat Product Division ABSTRACT One of the greatest challenges in the direct casting of low carbon steel strip is the production of material with mechanical properties similar to those obtained via conventional strip production routes. A fundamental understanding of the microstructure evolution from solidification through to the final product is of critical importance in this endeavour. Experimental work was carried out using a special apparatus to establish links between heat transfer, nucleation, solidification, strip microstructures and mechanical properties. This information was used in conjunction with the actual microstructures and properties of strip obtained from a full scale development plant to define the breadth of product opportunities possible from the direct casting of low carbon steel strip. Brimacombe Symposium, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 1-4 October,
3 INTRODUCTION BHP and IHI began collaborating on the development of strip casting technology in 1989 and results obtained from the full scale development plant have been summarised elsewhere (1,2). Initial development efforts were directed towards solving process issues relating to metal delivery, edge containment, solidification and gauge control (3). From a metallurgical context, a fundamental challenge has been to overcome issues imposed by the rapid solidification regime associated with strip casting. Significant progress has been made in expanding fundamental knowledge in the areas of initial nucleation, interfacial heat transfer and subsequent solidification behaviour (4,5). This knowledge has been valuable in defining solidification strategies to cast strip with good surface quality. From a product perspective, results from the product processing trials have been encouraging. As-cast coils (low carbon Si-killed) have been successfully cold rolled, metal coated and roll formed into a number of roofing and walling profiles (1). Mechanical properties of the cold rolled/annealed material compared favourably with hot strip mill (HSM) products (1). As-cast material has also been directly converted to piping and tubing products (1,2). This result has surprised metallurgists who hold the view that the ductility of cast material will be inherently low due to the coarser austenitic grain structure, which is an inevitable outcome of the solidification process. These notions need to be reassessed in light of the strip casting regime, which is accompanied by much higher heat fluxes, and solidification rates compared to conventional casting processes (3). Microstructure evolution from solidification to the final ferrite structure has to be understood at a fundamental level to determine the true product potential of strip casting. This paper focuses on defining the product opportunities possible from strip casting based on the actual analysis of the results obtained from a full scale plant and also the fundamentals developed from laboratory studies on microstructure evolution. AS-CAST STRIP MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURES A comparison of typical properties of Si-killed low carbon steel strip obtained from strip casting and Al-killed steel from the conventional hot strip mill route (6) is presented in Figure 1. Although the strength levels are slightly higher and elongation levels lower, overall material properties of the as-cast strip compare favourably with the strip produced via the hot strip mill route.

4 There are however significant differences in the final microstructures of the strip produced by the two routes as illustrated in Figure 2. (a) (b) Figure 2: Comparison of the final strip microstructures produced via (a) strip casting (b) hot strip mill Key differences between the two microstructures are summarised in Table I. Hot strip mill products exhibit a fine equiaxed ferrite microstructure whilst cast strip microstructure is predominantly a mixture of coarse polygonal and Widmanstatten/acicular ferrite. Evolution of microstructure in the HSM route is well understood. These products are an outcome of large reductions which break up the original cast structure resulting in significant refinement of the austenite grains, which upon further transformation produce a fine equiaxed ferrite grain structure. Thus, product metallurgy knowledge developed for HSM route is not directly applicable to strip cast material.

5 FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES OF MICROSTRUCTURE EVOLUTION IN STRIP CASTING Microstructure development in strip casting is fundamentally coupled to the solidification process. Considerable attention has therefore been devoted towards establishing links between heat transfer, nucleation, solidification, strip microstructures and mechanical properties. Experimental Simulation of Microstructure Evolution A special apparatus was employed to simulate the initial solidification conditions encountered in the twin-roll strip casting regime (4). Strip samples were cast by immersing a paddle mounted with substrates (representing the mould surface) into a furnace containing molten steel. After withdrawal of the paddle from the furnace, the temperature of the solidified sample was continuously monitored using an optical pyrometer to understand the solid state phase transformation kinetics. Provisions were made to quench the solidified samples using helium gas to freeze the microstructures at a desired temperature. This practice was effective in defining the austenite grain size at different temperatures. The arrangement of the experimental apparatus including the rapid cooling and the concurrent temperature measurement facilities is shown in Figure 3.

Solidification commences around 1500 C with the formation of a dendritic structure in the delta ferrite phase. This structure then transforms to austenite phase at around 1400 C. Finally, austenite transforms into ferrite phase at a temperature below 900 C. Figure 4 - Phase transformations occurring during solidification and subsequent cooling of low carbon steel.

6 Resolution of the structures associated with each transformation step (see Figure 4) is critical to understanding the microstructure evolution process. This was achieved through development of appropriate etching techniques. The different microstructures obtained from the same position in the sample during solidification and subsequent solid state phase transformations are shown in Figure 5 which includes micrographs of dendritic, austenitic and ferritic structures. The rapid solidification rate encountered in strip casting produces a fine dendritic structure (see Figure 5a). Secondary dendrite arm spacings were measured to be in the range of 5 to 15 µm which was consistent with measurements obtained by other groups (7,8). These values were an order of magnitude lower than the typical secondary arm spacings reported for thick slab casting (100 to 250 µm) and thin slab casting processes (50 to 100 µm) (9).

Characterisation of the austenite grain size is critical to understanding the final ferrite microstructure, which subsequently controls the final product mechanical properties. Austenite grain size was determined from the width of the austenite grains measured perpendicular to the solidification direction. Impact of Solidification Behaviour on Austenite Grain Size Links between initial solidification rate and austenite grain size were established by conducting controlled immersion experiments using the apparatus shown in Figure 3. Solidification experiments were carried out using a low carbon steel melt with different sulphur levels (0.01 and 0.04 wt%) on different substrate textures. Substrate texture was used as a variable in this study due to its strong influence on the initial heat transfer rate (4). Sulphur, owing to its surface active nature, can dramatically impact the melt/substrate contacting conditions and subsequent initial heat transfer and solidification rates (10). Results from these experiments which are summarised in Figure 6, show that austenite grain size is significantly influenced by changes in the melt sulphur and also the substrate texture. It should also be noted that the measured austenite grain sizes of 50 to 200 µm are Brimacombe Symposium, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 1-4 October,

Experiments were therefore carried out with stainless steel (304 austenitic) where the surface nucleation pattern and cross-sectional austenite grain structure could be revealed with sufficient contrast. Results from Stainless Steel Studies Melt sulphur content has a dramatic effect on the nucleation behaviour as evident from the surface microstructures shown in Figure 7. The observed nucleation pattern was random and the nuclei count was considerably enhanced with the higher sulphur level (see Figure 7b) which was effective in improving the melt/substrate contact by reducing the melt surface tension (10).

8 The meniscus heat fluxes measured during solidification showed a strong correlation with the surface nucleation density (see Figure 8). An increase in nucleation density from 50 to 1000 nuclei/mm 2 increased the meniscus heat flux from 10 to 40 MW/m Meniscus Heat Flux (MW/m 2 ) Nucleation Density (Nuclei/mm 2 ) Figure 8 - Correlation between measured meniscus heat fluxes and solidification nucleation density The relationship between the austenite grain width and surface nucleation density is presented in Figure 9.

9 the initial melt/substrate contact, as influenced through wetting by chemistry effects or as imposed by the substrate surface texture effects, has a profound influence on the size of the austenite grains. FERRITE MICROSTRUCTURE CONTROL IN STRIP CASTING Control of the ferrite microstructure is critical as it determines the mechanical properties of the final product. A number of strategies can be potentially employed to control the final strip microstructure. Metallurgical fundamentals associated with these options are discussed in this section. Solidification Control Changes in the solidification parameters such as melt chemistry, substrate texture and casting speed can strongly influence the final ferrite microstructure of the as-cast strip. This is illustrated in Figure 10 which shows the strong effect of the melt sulphur content. High sulphur samples produced a microstructure which was dominated by polygonal ferrite (see Figure 10a). On the other hand, the low sulphur samples were predominantly bainitic (see Figure 10b). The differences in the ferrite microstructures are a direct outcome of austenite grain size differences. A decrease in sulphur level from 0.04 to 0.01 wt% increased the austenite grain size from 60 to 200 µm.

10 Strip Cooling Control Strip cooling rates encountered during the transformation of austenite can influence the ferrite microstructure. The immersion facility (see Figure 3) was used to examine the effect of different cooling regimes during the austenite transformation for constant initial austenite grain size. Cooling intensity had a dramatic effect on the final strip microstructures as reflected in the hardness values which are shown in Figure 11. The water quenched sample was associated with a martensitic microstructure with a hardness value of around 360 VHN (Vickers Hardness Number) as opposed to the air cooled sample which exhibited a mixed polygonal/widmanstatten/bainite microstructure with a correspondingly lower hardness value of 190 VHN. Similar tests were carried out with samples which were re-austenitised prior to cooling. Reaustenitisation produced austenite microstructures similar to that of a hot strip mill product. Figure 11 clearly shows that the response of the hot strip mill austenite structure was significantly lower in comparison to strip cast microstructures. Unlike hot strip mill products, coarser austenite grains inherent to strip cast material can be transformed into a variety of ferrite microstructures through appropriate cooling treatment during the austenite transformation process. It should also be noted that through strip casting it is possible to achieve a remarkable degree of hardenability on a typical low carbon steel chemistry which is usually considered to be non-hardenable.

12 In-line Hot Rolling In-line hot rolling was found to be effective in refining the as-cast microstructure. However it was found that less than 15 % hot reduction was not sufficient to modify the microstructure produced during the casting process (2). For similar hot reduction levels, rolling temperature had a profound impact on the microstructure refinement (see Figures 13a-b). Fine ferrite microstructure was observed when rolling at around 860 C (see Figure 13a). Ultra fine ferrite grains in the range of 2 to 4 µm were observed near the surface and this region extended up to 30% of the thickness. The rest of the sample consisted of fine polygonal ferrite grains in the range of 10 to 20 µm. Material with high yield strength (400 MPa) and a total elongation in excess of 30 % can be produced with this microstructure. Hot rolling temperatures of around 1050 C on the other hand produced microstructures with polygonal ferrite content estimated to be more than 80%, with grains in the size range of 10 to 40 µm. Thus, wide range of strip microstructures can be produced through adequate control of the degree of hot reduction and the rolling temperature. Strip surface Strip surface (a) (b) Figure 13 - Effect of in-line hot rolling temperature on microstructure refinement observed in strips produced from full scale plant: (a) 36% reduction at 860 C; and (b) 31% reduction at 1050 C Residuals Strip casting can tolerate a significant amount of residuals such as Cu and Sn compared to conventional casting processes. The presence of residuals had a significant effect on the microstructure of the strip cast products. Under similar strip cooling conditions, the presence of residuals enhanced the proportion of low temperature transformation products (particularly the bainites), producing material with higher strength (see Figure 14). Although the austenite grain size was not influenced, the presence of residuals lowered the transformation temperatures and slowed the kinetics of polygonal ferrite formation.

A variety of ferrite microstructures can be produced from the strip casting route through control of solidification, strip cooling (during austenite transformation), in-line hot rolling and residuals. Combinations of material strength and elongation levels that can be potentially obtained from the strip casting process using single low carbon steel chemistry are summarised in Figure 15. In the conventional strip production processes, significant chemistry changes are necessary to produce a broad range of properties. Figure 16 summarises a typical range of steel chemistries used to produce a variety of hot rolled structural products (6). Generally, higher C, Mn and micro-alloys (Ti, Nb) are necessary to produce high strength material. Strip casting on the other hand has the potential to achieve a broad range of properties with a single chemistry because of its unique coarse austenite grain structure, thus avoiding the difficulties encountered with casting peretectic carbon steel and also avoiding the additional costs associated with micro-alloys.

15 The decisive advantage of the strip casting process lies in its capability to produce high strength material (e.g., Grade 80, ASTM specification) directly from the caster without the need for a cold rolling step. Currently these products can only be produced through a cold rolling operation. CONCLUDING REMARKS A fundamental understanding of microstructure evolution in strip casting has been obtained using a laboratory facility. Links between initial heat transfer, nucleation, solidification and subsequent microstructures have been established. This has provided an understanding of the origin of the strip microstructures and properties obtained on a full-scale strip casting plant. In particular, it was demonstrated that coarse austenite grains inherent in strip casting can be transformed into a variety of ferrite microstructures. Strip casting by virtue of its unique metallurgical regime offers the potential to achieve a range of mechanical properties with a single steel chemistry.
