The invention provides a process for manufacturing steel plates/strips resistant to corrosion in molasses comprising the following steps in sequence :-(a) preparing molten steel of required chemical composition(by weight %) : C - 0.10 max., Mn - 0.80 max., Si - 0.30 max.,S - 0.03 max., P - 0.04 max., Cu - 0.25 to 0.35 and Fe - the balance, from blast furnace pig iron in a Basic Oxygen/Open Hearth furnace by adding medium-carbon ferro-manganese or silico-mangenese and ferro-silicon, ores, and steel scraps in required quantities;(b) tapping the molten steel into a preheated ladle at1630 Ý 20¯C;(c) adding cathode copper bar in the ladle in requiredquantity;(d) top-pouring molten steel into the ingot mould(s) of acontinuous casting system to cast ingots of rectangular crosssection, or slabs directly;(e) soaking and rolling the ingots into slabs in a slabbingmill at 1300 - 1320¯C for 6 hours;(f) re-soaking the slabs at 1200 Ý 20¯C for 3 hours, androlling the slabs into plates in a plate mill or into hot stripsin a strip mill;(g) finish rolling the plates and strips to the reducedthickness upto 32 mm at 850 - 875¯C, and upto 12 mm at 900 - 920¯Crespectively;(h) air cooling and normalising the plates;(i) water cooling the strips on a run-out table at a cooling rate of 18 Ý 2¯C per second to allow formation of an equiaxed ferrite-pearlite microstructure in the strips; and(j) coiling the strips at 640 - 660¯C.
