Cu-Ni-Al–Fe-Mn alloy billets were prepared by heating–cooling combined mould (HCCM) continuous casting at different casting speeds. Then, the cold deformation behaviour of billets was studied by multi-pass cold rolling, and the effects of HCCM continuous casting on cold deformability were discussed by comparing with the mould casting (MC) alloy. The results show that HCCM continuous casting significantly improves the cold deformability of Cu-Ni-Al–Fe-Mn alloy billets. When the rolling reduction is 94%, HCCM continuous casting samples have good edge quality without obvious crack, while the MC sample has severe edge cracks. With the rolling reduction increasing from 40% to 94%, the elongation of the MC samples decreases from 6% to 2%, while that of HCCM continuous casting samples maintains in 6%∼9%, showing good continuous deformability. The HCCM continuous casting samples with lower casting speeds have [001] oriented columnar grains along the casting direction, which make the deformation mechanism change from nano-crystallization to parallel stacking faults. In the meanwhile, HCCM continuous casting improves deformation coordination of as-cast grains and restrains intergranular cracking, which is reflected in the influence on misorientation between as-cast grains and distribution of coarse NiAl phases. In addition, nano-twins found in the rolled MC sample promote the initiation and propagation of cracks.
