Non-metallic inclusions in steel can reduce the mechanical properties of steel, especially the plasticity, toughness and fatigue limit. In severe cases, they can also cause cracks in the steel during hot working and heat treatment or sudden brittle fracture during use.

| Test Objective
Non-metallic inclusions in steel can reduce the mechanical properties of steel, especially the plasticity, toughness and fatigue limit. In severe cases, they can also cause cracks in the steel during hot working and heat treatment or sudden brittle fracture during use. Non-metallic inclusions also promote the formation of hot-worked fibrous structures and banded structures in steel, making the material anisotropic. In severe cases, the transverse plasticity is only half of the longitudinal plasticity, and the impact toughness is greatly reduced. Therefore, for steels used in important applications (such as bearing steel, spring steel, etc.), the quantity, shape, size and distribution of non-metallic inclusions need to be inspected.
