Abstract

Method of continuously casting metal strip (20) from a casting pool of molten metal supported on chilled casting rolls (16) such that metal solidifies onto moving casting surfaces of the rolls. The metal is austenitic stainless steel containing chromium and nickel in a ratio (Cr/Ni)eq of less than 1.60 (preferably no greater than 1.55) and the casting surface of each roll has an Arithmetical Mean Roughness Value (Ra) of more than 2.5 microns (preferably in the range 2.5 to 15 microns).
