Abstract
Formation mechanism of Ti-bearing non-metallic inclusions was studied by inductive separation method, and characterization method was selected according to the type of each inclusion. The Al+Ti oxide was heterogeneous consisting of Al2O3 with Ti rich oxide layer. Compositional and size distribution was characterized by automated SEM observation and EDS analysis. It is formed as the reduction of Al2O3 by Ti in molten alloy at 1873K. The Al-Ti oxide was homogenous. It was liquid at 1873K characterized by EBSD. The Al/Ti molar ratio of oxide was consistent with that in each alloy as analyzed by manual SEM/EDS analysis. Its formation mechanism is proposed to be the reaction among dissolved Ti, Al, and O in molten alloy at 1873K. TiN precipitated during solidification. The fraction of TiN smaller than 1μm was larger in alloy2 than that in alloy1 as analyzed by automated SEM/EDS analysis. It is resulted from larger supersaturation degree in alloy2 during solidification.
