Rare earth (RE) elements are excellent modifiers for non-metallic inclusions that inevitably
appear in steel and affect steel properties. This paper reviews the research status of …

Non‐metallic inclusions in tire cord steels and saw wire steels often act as breakage source
during cold drawing and standing process. In this work, the control of inclusions in tire cord …

The slag-metal reactions between Si-killed 316L stainless steel and the fluxes rice hush ash
(RHA), RHA+ CaO–SiO 2 (flux A), and RHA+ CaO–Al 2 O 3 (flux B) were conducted in an …

In order to understand the effect of K2O and Na2O in refining slag on the non-metallic
inclusions in LX72A tire cord steel, steel–slag interaction experiments were conducted at …

A novel LF refining slag contains K 2 O has been developed in order to produce ultraclean
saw wire steels. The diameter of ultrafine saw wire is between 50× 10− 6 m (50 µm) and 80× …

Abstract A new CaO–Al2O3–Ce2O3–MgO–SiO2 tundish flux for rare earth steel has been
presented in the current study based on the phase diagram and iso-activity diagram. The …

The escalation of global energy demand driven from many factors, leading to dwindling of
non-renewable resources and pollution. To mitigate these problems, the thermoelectric …

Inclusion removal and modification of C96V saw wire steel using Na2O-and Rb2O-
containing novel low-basicity LF (ladle furnace) Refining Slags have been researched. The …

Ti-stabilized 321 stainless steel was prepared using an electric arc furnace, argon oxygen
decarburization (AOD) furnace, ladle furnace (LF), and continuous casting processes. In …

A novel Rb 2 O-containing synthetic LF refining slag has been developed in order to
produce ultraclean C96V saw wire steel. In addition, the thermodynamic and kinetics …
