Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material analysis, and in particular to a method for evaluating and analyzing inclusions in steel. Background Art
[0002] Steel plays an increasingly important role in social development and human life, and the demand for high-quality steel is growing. Non-metallic inclusions in steel have a significant impact on properties such as fatigue performance, strength, toughness, and melting point. Therefore, controlling non-metallic inclusions in steel is crucial, and how to quickly and accurately evaluate them is key.
[0003] At present, the detection and evaluation methods for inclusions in steel mainly include: (1) metallographic method, which is relatively traditional and can determine the distribution, shape and size of inclusions. It relies on the human eye to distinguish and is prone to large errors; (2) anhydrous electrolysis method, which can obtain the three-dimensional morphology and type of inclusions, but it consumes a lot of manpower and takes a long time. It is more suitable for the analysis of large-sized inclusions; (3) in-situ analysis method, which uses the spectral signal generated by spark discharge to detect and analyze inclusions. It can obtain information such as the number of inclusions and particle size distribution, but its accuracy is relatively low.
[0004] Chinese patent CN112285143A discloses a method for evaluating inclusions in high-cleanliness gear steel. This patent involves cutting several metallographic samples from finished gear steel and using a scanning electron microscope to perform metallographic statistics on the maximum inclusion area within a certain scanning area of the sample. A metallographic microscope is then used to grade the inclusions in one of the samples. The resulting data is then linearly fitted with the equivalent diameter to determine the inclusion evaluation index. However, this method is only applicable to large inclusions.
[0005] Chinese patent CN107132244B discloses a method for quantitatively evaluating inclusions in steel. This patent utilizes metallographic scanning observation of prepared metallographic samples, facilitating the use of the total inclusion area detected and the inclusion spacing calculated from the scanned area as a quantitative evaluation indicator for inclusions in steel. However, this method has errors in the evaluation of small-sized inclusions.
[0006] Chinese patent CN113376195A discloses a method for detecting and evaluating inclusions in spring steel wire rods. This patent utilizes an organic solution to electrolytically corrode a prepared metallographic sample under certain conditions. This sample is then subjected to SEM scanning and analysis. Image processing software is used to determine the area of each inclusion and the area of the pores surrounding the inclusion. This data is then used to calculate the inclusion's equivalent size and shrinkage coefficient, which serve as quantitative inclusion evaluation indicators. However, this method is time-consuming, the use of image processing software is cumbersome, and certain errors are present.
[0007] Chinese patent CN108593649A discloses a method for qualitatively and quantitatively testing and analyzing inclusions in steel. This method first places a prepared metallographic sample under a metallographic microscope to determine its size range. SEM scanning is then performed, using different working distances and magnification factors based on the size range of the inclusions to determine the composition, size, and morphology of the inclusions. This method requires constant switching of electron microscope parameters, which can affect the accuracy of the results.
[0008] In summary, there is currently no comprehensive and accurate method for evaluating inclusions in finished steel products based on automatic scanning electron microscopy. Summary of the Invention

The scanning area can also be set to be circular or other polygonal, with the scanning area of each sample being ≥ 30 square millimeters, and the preferred scanning area range is 30-150 square millimeters.
[0063] In another embodiment, the scanning area is determined according to the size of the scanned inclusions. The scanning area may vary according to the size of the scanned inclusions. For ultra-low oxygen steel, the preferred scanning area is ≥500 square millimeters.
[0064] In the above embodiment, the scanning parameters of the electron microscope also include the contrast setting and grayscale threshold of the scanning electron microscope. The contrast setting is set, wherein the contrast value of the steel matrix is 200, and the contrast value of the aluminum foil is 60. The grayscale threshold is set. The grayscale of conventional inclusions is darker than that of the steel matrix, and the threshold range is 0-170. The grayscale of rare earth inclusions is lighter than that of the steel matrix. Two thresholds are set, with an upper threshold range of 220-250 and a lower threshold range of 0-170.
