The results showed that there were two kinds of inclusions in the billet, i.e. Al2O3-MnO-SiO2-MnS (AMS-MnS) and Al2O3- MnO-SiO2 (AMS). Most of AMS-MnS inclusion particles, with diameter of 10--30 μm, showed three-layer structures: SiO2-rich core with a small quantity of Mn, intermediate AMS layer, and MnS outer layer containing small quanti- ties of A1 and O. Most AMS inclusion particles were 50--90 μm and exhibited homogeneous composition. Thermo- dynamic results indicated that SiO2-rich core could form firstly by Si reacting with O in molten steel at temperatures above 1 923 K during Si-Fe alloy addition, and then, the SiO2-rich core could react with Mn and Al to form liquid AMS enveloping the SiO2 rich core at 1823- 1873 K. MnS began to precipitate from AMS when temperature reached 1 728 K. Liquid AMS could form by coupled reaction among Si, Mn, Al and O in molten steel.展开更多
