摘要
The effect of titanium oxide nanopowder on the microstructure of a plain carbon steel was studied. Remelted base steel showed a microstructure consisting of coarse pearlite and minor allotriomorphic ferrite. After inoculation the volume fraction of ferrite increased considerably. Further, the ferrite was grain-refined down to about 3 mu m in the as-cast condition. Carbon oxidation during melting is proposed to thermodynamically favor a higher volume fraction of ferrite. Titanium oxide nanoparticles refine ferrite grains presumably by virtue of augmented nucleation and retarded growth. (c) 2007 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
