Abstract

Test results refute published claims that plates from continuous-cast slabs corrode differently from plates rolled from ingots The continuous casting of steel slabs followed by rolling to plate has become an important source for steels used in marine service. Because of the potential corrosiveness of marine environments toward steel, it is important to know how steel plates produced from continuous-cast slabs compare in corrosion resistance with plates produced from ingots, the customary production method until the adoption of continuous casting about a decade ago.
