Abstract

Most steel grades undergo a ductility trough in the temperaturerange 700 to 1100 °C that may bring about surface cracks in the CCstrands.
Micro-mechanical modelling of the as solidified austenite-ferritemicrostructure, supported by experimental evaluations of the fracturesurfaces, affords a comprehensive description of the crack formationmechanism. This opens the way for a quantitative evaluationof the sensitivity of CC strands to transverse cracks.
