But for the samples with so many large inclusions of Al existed,the influence of intensity should be considered because the signal increase did not vary in the form of simple function.So model 2 was more suitable for the content calculation of Al in inclusions in this case.In order to choose suitable model to be used it is suggested that the size distribution of inclusions should be determined by OPA before content determination of Al in inclusions. The results of the content of Al inclusions calculated by the selected mathematical model were satisfied and had good coincidence with the value of insoluble Al obtained by the subtraction between the content of total Al and soluble Al determined by chemical methods when the content of total aluminum was below 0.2%.展开更多

On the basis of systematic analysis of ten thousands primary optical signals at the corresponding original positions, the quantitative statistic distribution information of each element was obtained. The biggest degrees of segregation of low alloy steel continuous casting billet were calculated accurately according to the quantitative distribution maps of the contents. It was suggested that the weight ratio in a certain content range was used to judge the homogeneity of the materials, and the two models —— the total weight ratio of contents (the degree of statistic homogeneity, H) within the permissive content range (C0±R) and the median value confidence extension ratio (the degree of statistic segregation, S) at 95% of confidence limit of weight ratio —— were put forward. The two models reflect the composition and state distribution regularity of the metal materials in a large region. The difference between the sample with high columnar crystal and the sample with high equiaxed crystal has been studied by using the two models.展开更多

The result indicated that negative segregation strips of Si, Mn, Mo, Ni, Cr, Nb, Cu, Ti, and V exist in the two sides 24 mm away from the central line, with a width of 8-12 mm, Negative segregation inside the central line is more severe than that outside the central line, and the highest positive segregation of the elements appears closely by the inner sides of the negative segregation strips. No obvious negative segregation strip of S and P is found. Segregation of the elements in the central area is higher than that in the outer and inner arc areas. The segregation of C, Ti, S, and P is high and that of Cr, Cu, Si, and Mn is low in the slab.展开更多
