Some of the phenomena linked to inclusion formation by slag entrapment and further transformation in liquid and solid steel have been investigated and interpreted. Slag entrapment in mould is very easy to provoke and may lead to a wide range of inclusion sizes. Some TTT diagrams for inclusion crystallization have been determined. The driving force for crystallization can be estimated by thermodynamic evaluation using slag models.
