Problems solved by technology

The electrolytic method can indeed observe the whole picture of the inclusions, but the inclusions observed by electrolysis are still the inclusions in the molten steel that evolve after solidification, and cannot fully reflect the actual state of the inclusions in the molten steel
[0007] In order to observe the inclusions in the molten steel, the patent EP1361432 (B1) provides a technology that utilizes suspension smelting samples and then cooling to observe the inclusions, which can quantitatively analyze the size of the inclusions. The technical advantage is that the suspension smelting avoids the During the melting process, it is polluted by the refractory material of the bearing sample. However, this technology has the problems that the melting temperature is difficult to control and the sample is seriously deformed after cooling, and the complete shape of the inclusions cannot be observed.
Relevant documents of Japan’s Nippon Steel Corporation have published the method of extracting inclusions by melting samples with electron beams. However, the temperature of electron beams is too high, which has a great influence on the formation temperature of inclusions.
ArcelorMittal Steel Company recently proposed a method for rapid and comprehensive analysis of inclusions. The sample is prepared into a button shape. After the sample is remelted with resistance heating in a specific device, the inclusions can fully float to the surface. The shape of the inclusions can be fully observed by using the scanning electron microscope. However, due to resistance heating, the sample cannot be guaranteed not to be polluted by the refractory material of the loaded sample during the remelting process, nor can it be guaranteed that the sample will not be re-oxidized after high temperature heating
High-temperature confocal laser microscopy is an ideal tool for in-situ observation of samples. It has been widely used in the field of material research. It can observe the crystal growth and phase transition during the solidification of steel. Some scholars also try to melt the sample. Observing the movement behavior of inclusions, but did not propose the difference between inclusions in molten steel and inclusions after slow solidification of molten steel, and also did not propose a method for in-situ observation of inclusions in molten steel
[0008] The inclusions in bearing steel are mainly composite inclusions containing aluminum, calcium, magnesium, silicon, manganese, oxygen and sulfur. The inclusions in molten steel are very different from those after slow cooling and solidification of molten steel. It is difficult to judge the inclusion behavior in molten steel by in-situ observation

Abstract

The invention provides an experimental method for in-situ observation of inclusions in bearing steel. A cylindrical sample is processed by wire-cutting the bearing steel sample. After evacuating the interior, a pure argon flow is introduced to protect the sample from oxidation. Quickly raise the temperature of the sample to 1150-1250°C, then slowly raise the sample until the sample melts, keep it at the highest temperature for 20-40s, observe the inclusion movement and collision behavior at high temperature, and then rapidly cool it to 900-1000°C , and finally slowly cooled to room temperature, after the sample is taken out, enter the electron microscope SEM to observe the shape of the inclusions and use the energy spectrum to analyze its composition. Rapid cooling can make the inclusions basically maintain the state at the steelmaking temperature. In situ observation of behavior, overall appearance, and composition.
