Abstract: In order to study the effect of sulfur mass fraction on inclusions in steel E36 deoxidized by titanium and zirconium, steelmaking experiments of three heats of steel E36 were done in a MoSi2 furnace with 70mm×100mm MgO crucible at 1873K. The results showed that most of the inclusions in steel E36 deoxidized by titanium and zirconium are spherical inclusions of TiO○x and ZrO2 coated by MnS. The typical inclusions are Al2O3-TiO○x-MnS, MgO-SiO2-Al2O3, Al2O3-SiO2-TiO○x-ZrO2 and TiO○x-SiO2-Al2O3-MnS. With the increasing of the sulfur mass fraction in steel, the inclusion percentages with the diameter less than 10μm increase to 99.5%; the average diameter of the inclusions reaches 2.3μm from 1.7μm; the sulfur mass fraction in the inclusions and the area of MnS in single inclusion are also bigger, the area is 0.15% when w[S] is 0.001 5%, and it becomes 0.72% when w [S] is 0.011%.
