Causes of Increased Number of Non-Metallic Inclusions in Filtered Steel

Abstract:

Common phenomenon observed during steel filtration in laboratory conditions is the increased number non-metallic inclusions. These are the smallest inclusions in the Ferret diameter range from 0.5 to 6 μm. This phenomenon concerns only the number of inclusions. The analysis of literature shows that there is no explanation of this in the previous research, for example [1, 3]. Therefore, this paper attempts to explain the important relationship that was so far overlooked.
