Complex inoculation of steel

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The effect of complex inoculation with chemically active elements (Al, Ti), carbide-forming elements (B), and surface-active element (Bi) on the macro- and micro-structure of low-carbon steel is studied. It is shown that complex inoculation can prevent transcrystallization and refine the microstructure in castings.
