摘要
Non-metallic inclusion distribution in the surface layer of IF steel slabs during unsteady casting was investigated using the original position statistic distribution analysis（OPA）method.It was found that most non-metallic inclusions larger than 10 μm existed in the subsurface layers of 0.5-3.5 mm from the slab surfaces and very few large non-metallic inclusions were found in the inner regions（≥4.5 mm from slab surfaces）.In addition,it was found that at high casting speed level（1.4 m/min）,even a slight change of casting speed could result in a remarkable increase of the non-metallic inclusions.Thus,at high casting speed,changing the casting speed should be avoided or considerably lower speed changing rate must be used.
