摘要:
An ultra-low carbon steel slab having a carbon content of about 0.01 mass percent or less is produced by casting at a casting speed of more than about 2.0 m/min using a mold provided with a casting space having a short side length D of about 150 to about 240 mm and an immersion nozzle provided with discharge spouts each having a lateral width d, the ratio D/d being in the range of from about 1.5 to about 3.0. Accordingly, a ultra-low carbon steel slab can be obtained having superior surface quality without performing slab conditioning such as scarfing.
