Various chemical methods for the determination of non-metallic inclusions in metal were re'examined. Among various residuel analyses, above all the nitric acid method was recognized as the most suitable one.
In molten steel including silicon, the reaction, FeO+Si→SiO
2, occurs during soliditication and new inclusion appears in addition to the true inclusion. Therefore the quantity of inclusions depends on the verocity of solidification, that is, on the size of ingot mould. In case of no silicon bath, it is almost equal independent of solidifying velocity.
Therefore a special vacuum samspling apparatus is required for the purpose of measuring true inclusion in molten steel, but it iS inconvenient for ordinary use. For that reason a small iron ingot mould-its size was determind, considering to check the segregation of inclusions-was adopted in order to make the condition of-solidification constant.
If the standard sample is forged before analysis, the value of inclusion will be higher. The inclusions that increase by forging are SiO
2 and Al
2O
3. FeO and MnO rather usually decrease a little.
