Abstract
Titanium is very strong deoxidizer compared with manganese. In this report titanium have been used ass ingle deoxidizer in the straight lime basic type electrode. The weld metal was attained by usual hand welding. Inclusions thus obtained have been direct observed by electron microscope in carbon extracted replica, and investigated by its electron diffraction pattern. The weld metals were also dissolved by alcoholic iodine solution and its residues were analysed by usual chemical analysis. As result of investigation the lesser deoxidized weld metal by titanium contains inclusions which largely consists of iron titanium oxide (FeS Ti2O3), but the fully deoxidiged metal usually contains inclusions of alpha titanium (α-Ti2O3).
