Abstract

The process of manganese sulfide formation in the course of grain-oriented silicon steel solidification process is described in the paper. Fine dispersive MnS inclusions are grain growth inhibitors and apart from AlN inclusions they contribute to the formation of a privileged texture, i.e. Goss texture. A computer simulation of a high-silicon steel ingot solidification with the use of author’s software has been performed. Ueshima model was adapted for simulating the 3 % Si steel ingot solidification. The calculations accounted for the back diffusion effect according to Wołczyński equation. The computer simulation results are presented in the form of plots representing the process of steel components segregation in a solidifying ingot and curves illustrating the inclusion separation process.
