Abstract: Interrupted cooling in the run-out table after hot rolling is a processing strategy to produce dual phase ferrite-martensite steel strips. The effects of interrupted cooling temperature and time after austenitizing at 1150 °C are investigated. This is done to establish the conditions for austenite to transform into ferrite-martensite microstructures in a Mn-Cr-Mo strip produced from a CSP (Continuous Strip Processing)-type thin slab. The results show that dual phase microstructures can only be obtained when interrupted cooling is performed at 725
