Abstract
TiN inclusion in steel is easy to cause surface defects in ultra-low carbon steel. TiN was studied by analyzing their formation mechanisms, compositions, and morphology through SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDS (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). Thermodynamic analysis through kinetic simulations of the different stages of RH degassing was conducted by the FactSageTM software package. TiN inclusions can distribute either randomly or in clusters with exogenous inclusions. Most of the TiN inclusions are regular cubic shapes. Some of them have a black center which is alumina inclusion. The alumina inclusions formed by reoxidation can catch TiN inclusions and combine with them because of the strong combining affinity between them. Ti is a strong nitride former in liquid steel, and TiN mostly forms during cooling or solidification. The maximum temperature is approximately 1, 430 °C. The growth of TiN inclusions can be controlled by adjusting the Ti and N contents (N< 30 ppm).
