[0002] In addition to the inclusions originally present in the raw materials, oxide inclusions are continuously generated during the smelting and casting processes, and these inclusions in the melt are difficult to remove. Inclusions in castings are a major factor affecting casting quality. The casting process involves continuous pressure increases and decreases, and the casting time is relatively long, typically requiring 1-3 hours to complete the casting of a crucible of molten metal. Therefore, oxide inclusions are inevitably generated during casting, affecting casting quality. As the final step in melt forming, reducing inclusions is crucial for improving product quality.
