  • the molten steel is now cooled by contact with the moving wall with at least 200 K / s.
  • the formation of the desired structure of the flat steel product can be ensured by performing the rapid cooling in practice to below the glass transition temperature T G of the respective steel. In this way, an amorphous or partially amorphous microstructure is first formed.

  • Another advantage of the additional, subsequent to the pouring device cooling is that can be controlled controlled with such cooling a specially adapted cooling curve. This may be useful if targeted cast tapes are to be obtained with a teilamorphen or fine crystalline structure as a result of the casting and cooling process.
  • the cooling can be made so that the glass transition temperature T G accelerates, but not in one for the expression of a complete amorphous structure sufficient speed is cooled.
  • the cast strip can be cooled accelerated according to the inventive specifications, but this cooling are stopped before reaching the glass transition temperature T G of each processed steel.

  • Another way of producing a flat steel product according to the invention with a finely crystalline structure is to first produce a ribbon having an amorphous or partially amorphous microstructure, which is then converted into a finely crystalline state by an annealing process and crystallization caused thereby.
  • the peculiarity of this procedure is that the crystallization takes place at a plurality of crystal nuclei and therefore the forming crystal grains are distributed very evenly in the material.

  • a particular aspect of finely crystalline steels of the type produced according to the invention is their ability to structural superplasticity. Consequently, on the basis of flat steel products according to the invention, the most complex component geometries can be represented by grain boundary sliding processes at elevated temperatures (thermal activation).
  • a particularly process-reliable possibility of producing a flat steel product with a fine-crystalline structure provides that the cast strip emerging from the casting gap of the casting device and optionally additionally cooled thereafter has an amorphous or partially amorphous structure and that the cast and thus produced strip is then annealed at a minimum of the crystallization temperature Tx of the respective steel annealing temperature T anneal until the desired microstructure state is reached.
  • the annealing temperatures T annealing suitable for this purpose are 500-1000 ° C.
  • annealing times of 2 s to 2 h are sufficient, depending on the specific concretely selected composition.
  • the belt speeds with which the cast strip emerges from the casting gap are typically in the range of 0.3-1.7 m / s in practice.

Due to the hot rolling steps following the casting and cooling process in-line, on the one hand the desired final thickness of the strip and, on the other hand, the surface finish can be adjusted and the microstructure optimized, for example by closing still existing cavities in the cast state.
  • the hot rolling may also be hot rolled to the hot strip at a hot rolling start temperature in the range between the glass transition temperature T G and the crystallization temperature T x .

  • the aim of this heat treatment is the controlled formation of a fine crystalline microstructure with grain sizes ranging from 10 to 10,000 nm in the cast strip B.
  • the cast strip B thus heat treated is then hot rolled in a hot rolling mill 9 to hot strip WB.
  • a cast strip B has been produced in each case from three steel melts S with the compositions Z1, Z2, Z3 given in Table 1.
  • the thickness D of the strips B cast from the respective molten steel S the cooling rate AR achieved in each case during the cooling of the melt S in the casting area 5, respectively during the cooling of the cast strip emerging from the casting area 5 B in the additional cooling device 7 scored cooling rate ARZ and the target temperature T Z of the additional cooling specified.
  • Table 2 shows the microstructural state and any structural constituents of the resulting band.
  • the cast strip B before the heat treatment already had a fine crystalline structure of ⁇ -Fe, Fe 2 B, Fe 3 B and Fe 3 Si at a hardness of HV0.5 of 840-900. Even after the heat treatment, the microstructure consisted of ⁇ -Fe, Fe 2 B, Fe 3 B and Fe 3 Si, but the hardness was now HV0.5 760-810.
  • the invention thus provides methods for producing a steel strip B having an amorphous, partially amorphous or fine-crystalline structure with grain sizes in the range from 10 to 10,000 nm and a correspondingly obtained flat steel product.
  • a molten steel in a casting device (2) is cast into a cast strip (B) and cooled down at an accelerated rate.
  • the melt contains at least two further elements which belong to the group "Si, B, C, P".
  • the contents of these elements (in% by weight) Si: 1, 2 - 7,0%, B: 0,4 - 4,0%, C: 0, 5 - 4,0% , P: 1.5-8.0%.
  • the molten steel containing Si, B, C and P is mixed in a casting device (2) whose casting region (5) is formed on at least one of its longitudinal sides by a Casting in G cardatticardi (G) moving and cooled wall is formed, poured into a cast strip (B), wherein the molten steel (S) is cooled by contact with the moving cooled wall with a cooling rate of at least 200 K / s.
