Genesis Analysis of Large TiN Inclusion for High Strength Tire Cord Steel

Abstract:

In order to analyze the possible source of large TiN inclusion for the high strength tire cord steel. The remelting experiment was conducted via vacuum induction furnace in the laboratory and the artificially prepared TiN particles which of size 50-74 μm and 100-180 μm were added during the remelting process. Simultaneously, combined with the dissolution kinetic model of TiN particle to make a brief analysis for the genesis of lagre TiN inclusion detected in the wire rod. The results show that the TiN particle which of size 180 μm dissolved in the liquid steel completely at only a few seconds. The TiN inclusions detected in the remelted specimens are all of regular shape, which mainly formed during the solidification process, rather than the added TiN particle which are not completely dissolved. It is supposed that the large TiN inclusion detected in the wire rod most likely spring from the continuous casting mould fluxes.
