white paper Dr. Mohammad R. Allazadeh Formation of defects in the steel microstructure during solidification and their effects on the steel material properties The microstructure of steel is responsible for the macro-behavior of steel or in other words steel’s material properties. Surface microcracks and internal flaws can be introduced to steel microstructure during solidification. The soundness of the steel is altered by formation of flaws and microcracks in casting production line. Additive elements to molten steel and chemical element and alloys in the iron slag may produce indigenous and exogenous inclusions in the microstructure. The presence of the inclusions in the microstructure changes the cleanliness of the steel and affects the material properties of the steel products. This paper is a review of literatures on the sources of formation of inclusions and flaws in the as-cast steel and the effect of these defects on the microstructure properties. Introduction ASM Handbook Volume 1, gives the details of all major classifications. Different grades of steel have different material properties because they contain Inclusion, voids, cracks and microcracks can different chemical compositions. However, be formed within the steel’s microstructure steels with the same grade experiencing a during solidification of steel, [6]. The defects different heat treatment process or may be generated later, as well, because of the deformation processing possess different cooling process of the as-c
