Abstract

Evolution behaviors of inclusions of EH36 shipbuilding steel during 1473 K (1200 °C) heating have been studied in conjunction with ex situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination and in situ confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) observations. It has been found that Al-Ca-O-S complex inclusions dominate the particles in the cast billet. However, TiN inclusions are profusely populated after heating. Moreover, possible strategies governing austenite growth are offered here.
