Abstract

Inclusion evolution behaviors of EH550 steel during hot-rolling heating have been investigated in situ by employing a confocal scanning laser microscope. It is found that, as heating continues, the area fraction of inclusions sharply increases, reaches the peak value at 1223 K, and diminishes to the minimum value upon reaching 1373 K. The inclusion, clarified by means of ex situ examination, is primarily composed of boron nitride, and the formation mechanisms have been further elaborated.
