The effects of Al contents on the inclusions evolution were investigated by means of thermodynamic calculations coupled with electron probe micro-analyses and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the inclusions in the 0.01% Al weld metal are mainly composed of ilmenite with some amounts of (Mn-Si-Al)-oxide and titanial_spinel. When Al content is increased up to 0.035%, a more amount of corundum and a small amount of pseudobrookite are formed. In 0.085% Al weld metal, the (Mn-Si-Al)-oxide disappears completely, and the inclusions contain a substantial amount of corundum, in addition to a minimal amount of pseudobrookite. Ti3O5, MnTi2O4 and MnTiO3 are the primary constituents of pseudobrookite, titanial_spinel and ilmenite, respectively. Titanial_spinel and ilmenite have higher amounts of Mn, but lower Ti levels compared with pseudobrookite. In the case of presence of a considerable amounts of titanial_spinel and ilmenite, Mn-depleted zone is formed in matrix around the inclusions.}, type={Article}, title={Formation and Thermodynamic Analyses of Inclusions in Ti-Containing Steel Weld Metals with Different Al Contents}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/117802/PDF/AMM-2021-1-22-Bingxin%20Wang.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.134773}, keywords={Thermodynamic calculation, Electron probe micro-analyzer, Oxide inclusion, Aluminium content, Phase diagram}, }
