Abstract:
A method is provided for producing substantially austenitic stainless steel strip, particularly chromium-nickel grades, having ultra low sulfur levels up to 0. 002% by conventionally continuously casting the slab and thereafter hot rolling the slab to hot-rolled band by improving the ability to achieve hot-rolled band having good surface quality as characterized by reduced metallurgical slivers.
