“…There are two main types of no-inclusions in Si-killed stainless steel are CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based and MnO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based systems [1][2][3][4][5]. They have different properties and different effects on the surface quality of stainless steel strips.…”

“…They have different properties and different effects on the surface quality of stainless steel strips. Researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] found that an effective way to improve the surface quality of stainless steel strip by controlling the nonmetallic inclusion as plasticity MnO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based inclusion instead of CaO-SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -based ones. This could be realized by using different basicity refining slags and [Al] s contents during the smelting process.…”

Characteristics and Transformation Mechanism of Nonmetallic Inclusions in 304 Stainless Steel during Heat Treatment at 1250 °C

Evolutions of two typical types of nonmetallic inclusions, i.e., inclusions based on CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 and MnO-SiO2-Al2O3 of 304 stainless steel were investigated in laboratory-scale experiments under isothermal heat treatment at 1250 °C for 0, 30, 60 and 120 min. Results show inclusion population density increases at the first stage and then decreases while their average size decreases and then increases. Moreover, almost no Cr2O3 content within the inclusion before the heat treatment, but Cr2O3 content increases gradually along with increasing heat treatment time. Furthermore, the increasing of Cr2O3 content in the inclusions would increase their melting points and reduce their plasticities. The experimental results and thermodynamic analysis indicate that there are three steps for inclusion evolution during the heat treatment process, in which Ostwald ripening plays an important role in inclusion evolution, i.e., inclusions grow by absorbing the newly formed small-size MnO-Cr2O3 inclusions.
