Vacuum induction melting and electron beam melting have been used to produce a steel with a composition of 4×10−6 T[O], 5×10−6 [S], 3×10−6 [N]. Examining the samples of the steel with original position analysis and SEM showed that the non‐metallic inclusions in the steel were mainly alumina particles with a size ranging from 1 to 4 microns. The morphology and composition of the inclusions extracted electrolytically from the steel were analysed using SEM and EDS. It was found that some deoxidization products and lining materials with a size ranging from 10 to 20 microns, and some flux inclusions with a size around 40 microns existed in the steel. Most of these bigger inclusions originated from raw materials. Finally this paper also proposed an effective method to remove these bigger inclusion particles from zero inclusion steel.
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.
