The mechanical properties of steels are deteriorated by the formation of type II sulfides inclusions. The addition of alloying elements Al, C and Si are generally considered to promote the type II to Ⅲ transition. However, the functional mechanism of those alloying elements, especially Al, is still unclear. In this work, both experimental and calculation techniques were used to investigate the effect of aluminum on the divorced eutectic transformation of MnS inclusions. The research results showed that the sulfides were mostly typeⅡMnS in the specimens A, B and C. The sulfides in the specimens D, E and F were type Ⅲ MnS. The increase of aluminum content favored to convert sulfides morphology from the typeⅡto typeⅢ, but increasing cooling rate could have the opposite effect. Increasing Al content had little influence on the activity coefficient of S, precipitation temperature, initial S content in liquid steel and solid fraction of the precipitation of MnS, but it could significantly affect the equilibrium dissolved oxygen content and surface tension. MnS was the non-nucleating phase in Fe-MnS system. High Al content could increase the interface energy between the liquid steel and MnS and promote the divorced eutectic transformation of MnS and form type Ⅲ MnS .
