In order to improve fatigue life of wheel steel, secondary-refining process is done with Al-deoxidation and slag of high basicity, high Al2O3 content and low oxidizing property. [M, [C content in molten steel would be influenced by slag composition. It is found that high basicity, high Al2O3 content and low oxidizing property is positive factor for proper [M, [C content in molten steel which is the key of inclusion transformation from Al2O3 to CaO-MgO-Al2O3 complex inclusion, contributing to the enhancement of fatigue performance for wheel steel.

In order to improve fatigue life of wheel steel, LF-VD secondary-refining process is done with Al-deoxidation and slag of high basicity, high Al2O3 content and low oxidizing property. Inclusion content would be influenced by [Al]s, [Mg], [Ca] in molten steel. It is found that Al2O3 inclusions, which are the products of Al-deoxidation, would react with [Mg], [Ca] in molten steel to transform into CaO-MgO-Al2O3 complex inclusions, which is the key for the enhancement of fatigue performance for wheel steel.

In order to improve fatigue life of wheel steel, secondary-refining process is done with Al-deoxidation and slag of high basicity, high Al2O3 content and low oxidizing property. By slag-steel-inclusion interaction, harmful inclusions could be controlled well to be eliminated by floation, lowering T[O] content to 0.0007% in round billets, enhancing fatigue life of wheel steel. It is found that (Al2O3) in slag is positive factor for decrease of T[O], while (CaO)/(Al2O3), (SiO2) in slag and [Al]s in molten steel is negative factor for it. As a result, by INSTRON fatigue testing machine, tested steel samples achieve ultra-high cycle of 108 above, realizing experimental purpose of improving fatigue life of wheel steel.

The melting temperatures of CaO-(2CaO•SiO2)-B2O3-SiO2-(Al2O3) slag system were investigated. The results indicate that B2O3 has significant fluxing effect on this slag system. When the content of B2O3 is about 10% in these slag system, the mass ratios of w(CaO)/w(SiO2) and (CaO)/w(Al2O3) can be controlled in the scope of 1.5-8.0, the melting temperature of slag is still lower than 1340°C, which is suitable for steelmaking and secondary refining process. As a conclusion, when 10% B2O3 is employed as fluxing agent, a kind of CaO-based slag system with ultra-high basicity, ultra-low alumina content as well as low melting temperature can be obtained.

For high grade pipeline steel, elimination of Al2O3 inclusions can improve the susceptibility of hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In the present work, the transformation of Al2O3 inclusions with slag-metal reaction was studied by controlling ladle slag and relative technologies in LF-RH refining process. It is found that Al2O3 inclusions decrease with increasing refining time, and no pure Al2O3 inclusions exist in molten steel at the end of secondary refining; the remained inclusions in molten steel are liquid calcium aluminates and semi-liquid CaO-MgO-Al2O3 complex inclusions. The analysis of thermodynamic equilibrium proves that CaO and MgO in slag can be reduced by aluminum in molten steel, which is the source of calcium and magnesium in molten steel.
