Internal morphologies of bulk shape oxides in a melt of Ti bearing low-carbon steel were analyzed. The outer shapes of nearly spherical inclusions containing Ti were quite different from the shape of alumina inclusions that typically have a cluster form. A cross-section investigation using a polishing method and the FIB method revealed that the TiO x -Al 2 O 3 complex oxide covers alumina clusters and that the interfaces of the alumina and complex oxide are modified as time passes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
