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 TiOx and ZrO2 coated by MnS. The typical inclusions are Al2O3-TiOx-MnS, MgO-SiO2-Al2O3, Al2O3-SiO2-TiOx-ZrO2 and TiOx-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%.
