Special features of deformed condition of commercial thin slabs produced in a continuous cycle in a casting and rolling unit are studied. Quantitative metallography is used to measure the parameters of the dendrite structure at different degrees of reduction during the deformation of slabs in the roughing group. The changes occurring in the primary dendritic structure during the deformation are considered. It is shown that the relative change in the sizes of the dendrite structure over the thickness of the slab corresponds to the degree of the relative reduction under the rolling. The picture of strain distribution over the thickness of the pieces is presented.
