Sulfide inclusions in iron

Abstract

The formation of both iron and manganese sulfide inclusions in 3 kg iron ingots containing less than 200 ppm impurities together with oxygen ranging from 10 to 100 ppm has been studied. Both types of inclusions under go essentially the same shape changes with varying oxygen contents. Faceted (type 3) inclusions could be obtained without additions of deoxidizers such as aluminum in excess amounts. A new explanation for the formation of type 3 inclusions has been proposed.
