This invention aims at producing a cold rolled thin sheet having excellent surface quality from a cast strip of a Cr--Ni type stainless steel cast strip by a thin casting method. The production method of the invention comprises the steps of continuously casting a Cr--Ni type stainless steel to a cast strip having a thickness of not greater than 10 mm by using a continuous casting machine the cast mold wall surface of which moves in synchronism with the cast strip; hot rolling the resulting cast strip at a temperature within the range of 900 to 1,200.degree. C. at a reduction ratio of 10 to 50%; carrying out, subsequently, heat-treatment at a temperature within the range of 1,200 to 900.degree. C. for at least 5 seconds; coiling the hot rolled cast strip at a temperature not higher than 600.degree. C.; descaling the rolled cast strip; cold rolling the cast strip; conducting annealing, pickling or bright annealing; and conducting skin pass rolling, whenever necessary.

Process for producing thin cast strip

The present invention provides a twin-drum type continuous casting apparatus in which, when a side weir is vibrated at a high speed, vibrations of the side weir in the axial direction of the cooling drums is suppressed. The generation of run-out from a cast piece is prevented, and the elongation of the lives of the side weirs and the refractory materials is made possible. A pair of side weirs vibrating along end surfaces of cooling drums are characterized in that a support shaft serving as a center of rotation of the vibrations of the side weirs is disposed lower than the molten metal surface and higher than a minimum gap position of the cooling drums. A vibration exciting shaft for applying vibration to the side weir is disposed lower than the above-mentioned minimum gap position.

Twin-drum type continuous casting apparatus

Molten metal is supplied to a pouring basin formed between cooling members, such as movable cooling drums. A closed space is formed at a meniscus area whereat any one of the cooling members starts to come into contact with the molten metal, and a soluble gas or a mixture of soluble and insoluble gases is supplied to and filled in the closed space, thereby covering the meniscus area with the gas or the mixture. This arrangement enables a continuous casting of a thin metal sheet without surface cracks and having excellent surface characteristics.

Apparatus of continuously casting a metal sheet

A process for producing a thin sheet of a Cr-Ni-based stainless steel having excellent surface quality and workability is produced by continuously casting a stainless steel represented by 18%Cr-8%Ni steel by means of a continuous casting machine having a mold wall surface that moves in synchronization with a cast strip, effecting rapid solidification at a cooling rate of 100.degree. C./sec or more into a cast strip having a thickness of 10 mm or less; after solidification thereof, initiating cooling of the cast strip from a high temperature at a rate of 100.degree. C./sec or more to 1250.degree. C. and preventing the occurrence of recuperation; holding the cooled cast strip in a temperature range of from over 900 to 1250.degree. C. exclusive for 5 sec to 2 min; and cooling and coiling the cast strip and subjecting the cast strip to annealing, pickling, cold rolling and annealing.
