A study was carried out to compare the inclusions present in low carbon aluminium killed (LCAK) steel with oxide particles in a clogging deposit formed during casting of LCAK steel. Steel pin samples were taken in the ladle and in the tundish. It was observed that oxide particles in the clogging deposit are mainly coral-shaped clusters, dendritic clusters and irregular plates. From the comparison with inclusions in LCAK steel, it is concluded that the particles in the clogging deposits are formed during reoxidation of the steel, at least after the ladle metallurgy process and most probably in the submerged entry nozzle. They are not the result of sintering of small pre-existing inclusions.
Ein morphologischer Vergleich der nichtmetallischenEinschlusse im flussigen, aluminiumdesoxidierten Stahl und in Tauchrohr-Ablagerungen. Nichtmetallische Einschlusse in einem niedriggekohlten, aluminiumdesoxidierten Stahl (LCAK) wurden untersucht und mil denen in Tauchrohr-Ablagerungen verglichen. Dazu wurden Stiftproben aus Pfanne und Kokille entnommen. Es wurde beobachtet, dass abgelagerte Oxidpartikel, die sog. Ansatze, in Tauchrohren hauptsachlich Aluminiumoxidkorallen, -dendriten und -platten bilden. Diese Ausbildungsformen sind nicht Agglomerate schon in der Pfanne existierender kleiner nichtmetallischer Teilchen, sondern echte Reoxidationprodukte, entstanden beim Vergiessen in Kokille und Tauchrohr.
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.
