Control of solidification structures and management of defects Session 12 1 Effect of Cooling History on As-cast Austenite Grain Size of Low Carbon Steel Slab 1 2 3 Naotsugu Yoshida , Yoshinao Kobayashi and Kotobu Nagai 1 2 3 Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd., Japan, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan Abstract The evolution of as-cast austenite grain structure in 0.15mass% carbon steel has been investigated using thin slab cast simulator with variable cooling history. Ingots were cast into slab with the size of 55 mm in thickness, 150 mm in width and about 300mm in height. Cast ingots had the macro-structure with columnar prior austenite grain evolved from surface to center of thickness. As-cast grain structure with three kinds of subsequent cooling after mold casting: ING-1 (continuous cooling in mold), ING-2 (radiative cooling), and ING-3 (radiative cooling and water cooling), were compared. For ING-1, nominal grain size (dγ) of 1.2-1.3 mm were observed along whole the thickness. For ING-2, coarser grain structure was observed with dγ of 1.5-1.7 mm at 10-16 mm from surface and dγ of 2.0 mm at 22 mm from surface. Although coarse grain structure was also observed at 10-16 mm from surface for ING-3, grain structure was refined with dγ of 1.5mm at 22 mm from surface. Water cooling after radiative cooling of ING-3 did not refine grain structure near surface but that near half thickness of slab. Prediction of austenite grain size by combination of classical grain growth model and temperature history agrees with the measured grain size.
