Deoxidation and Inclusion Control in Stainless Steel Refining

Abstract:

This paper analyzed the deoxidation principle of new-type compound deoxidizer, Si-Al-Fe alloy during stainless steel refining, summarized related studies on deoxidizer behavior, deoxidation products, alloying treatment by workers in the metallurgical in recent years, analyzed to solve a series of problems caused by deoxidation product with high melting point, and pointed out that it was a trend for large-scale production of "zero" inclusions steel or rendering inclusions harmless and functional.
