Nanoindentation Hardness and Modulus of Al2O3-SiO2-CaO and MnO-SiO2-FeO Inclusions in Iron

Eva Luisa Vogt, Jonathan Aristya Setyadji, Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Alejandra Inés Slagter, David Hernandez Escobar

Oxide inclusions appear in steel as a subproduct of steelmaking. These are generally detrimental to alloy properties; however, variations exist in the extent to which different inclusions are harmful because their properties vary as a function of their che ...
