Funded Activity Summary

Texture enhancement by inoculation in strip-cast metallic sheet. A recent discovery by the applicants has shown the possibility of producing, by inoculation during a direct casting route, stainless steel strip that exhibits a remarkably strong crystallographic alignment of grains perpendicular to the sheet surface. The production of this so-called <001>//ND fibre texture in thin strip by direct casting represents a vastly simplified route for the possible production of iron-base strip suitable for some magnetic applications. The principle aims of the project are to elucidate the mechanisms of formation of this highly textured steel sheet and to explore the feasibility of reproducing the texture in other metallic systems.
