Different near‐net‐shape casting techniques are investigated in terms of solidification parameters, microstructure, and microsegregation of manganese in carbon steels based on experimental simulation methods: ingot casting of thick and thin slab samples, strip samples, and thin strip. The as‐cast thicknesses were between 1.9 and 150 mm. By calculations and measurements data have been determined which lead to the solidification structure like solidification‐ and cooling‐rate, secondary dendrite arm spacings, and the concentrations of microsegregations. Finally, some literature data of material properties of steel strip produced by the investigated methods are given.
