SUMMARY– During the past year, large tonnages of tin-mill products made from continuously cast steel were supplied to the can-making industry for almost every type of container and closure. Most of the product was used for the manufacture of beer-can bodies. Without exception, fabrication performance was as good or better than that attained with ingot-cast steel. Results of pack tests of both heavy- and light-coated electrolytic tinplate, lead to the conclusion that continuously cast steel containing 0.03–0.08% silicon has corrosion resistance equal to that of ingot-cast steels containing a maximum of 0.010% silicon. Continuously cast steel is an addition to the family of steels now available to the container industry, and its use may open new vistas for improved container concepts.
