In the process of titanium microalloyed steel continuous casting, tiny TiN can refine solidification structures, while thick TiN will affect casting. In this paper, the experimental results showed that electropulsing could refine the size of TiN precipitates and improve the nucleation rate of the TiN precipitates. The larger electropulsing intensity resulted in a better effect. The modelling results showed that electropulsing could reduce the nucleation barrier of TiN in the molten steel and the two-phase region. In addition, the larger the electropulsing intensity and the higher the temperature, the better the promotion effect is. This research is of great significance for solving the problem of nozzle clogging and solidification microstructure refinement of titanium microalloyed 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.
