Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a method for manufacturing a duplex stainless steel sheet having reduced inclusions through argon oxygen decarburization (AOD), ladle treatment (LT), and twin roll strip casting. The method includes deoxidizing molten steel using silicon (Si) during the AOD, wherein the molten steel has a silicon (Si) content of 0.55 wt % to 0.75 wt % at the end of the AOD.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a duplex stainless steel sheet, the method comprising: argon oxygen decarburization (AOD), ladle treatment (LT), and twin roll strip casting, wherein the AOD comprises: deoxidizing molten steel with silicon (Si), wherein the molten steel has a silicon (Si) content of 0.55 wt % to 0.75 wt % at an end of the AOD, and wherein the duplex stainless steel sheet comprises, by wt %, carbon (C): 0.02% to 0.06%, silicon (Si): 0.55% to 0.75%, manganese (Mn): 2.8% to 3.2%, phosphorus (P): 0.035% or less, sulfur (S): 0.003% or less, chromium (Cr): 19.0% to 21.0%, nickel (Ni): 0.5% to 1.5%, copper (Cu): 0.3% to 1.2%, nitrogen (N): 0.2% to 0.28%, and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the AOD, slag has a basicity of 2.2 to 2.5. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the molten steel has a tapping temperature of 1680° C. to 1710° C. in the AOD.
