Abstract
In current article, experiments with different calcium addition were carried out in an Al2O3 crucible at 1873 K to investigate the variation of inclusion in Ti-bearing Al-kill Steel. It was found that calcium significantly influenced the morphology, composition distribution and size of oxide inclusions in Ti-bearing Al-kill Steel. Liquid oxide inclusions were modified promptly after calcium addition. Meanwhile, calcium could also modify solid titanium aluminate inclusions to spherical ones similarly, but there were a number of multilayer inclusions in molten steel at the initial stage. Different calcium treatment level should be adopted in different titanium content steel production process. As for the production practice, to achieve the full liquid inclusions in molten steel, the amount of calcium and titanium should be controlled simultaneously during the production process.
