摘要

This study investigates the synchronous modification behavior and mechanisms of TiN and MnS inclusions in BT700L automotive beam steel through trace rare earth La alloying. The results demonstrate that without La addition, TiN and Al2O3-TiN inclusions exhibit sharp edges and large sizes. Upon La treatment, TiN transforms into LaAlO3-TiN composite phases with reduced dimensions. Sulfur-containing inclusions transition from MnS and Al2O3-MnS to LaAlO3-MnS and LaAlO3-TiN-MnS composites, maintaining a spherical shape but with significantly refined sizes. Quantitative analysis reveals that La addition reduces the average size of TiN inclusions from 3.41 to 2.72 μm and MnS-type inclusions from 1.88 to 1.5 μm. The proportion of MnS > 2 μm decreases from 28 to 11 pct, while fine MnS (0.5–1 μm) increases from 16 to 43 pct. Mechanistic studies indicate that LaAlO3, formed via La-Al complex deoxidation, serves as heterogeneous nucleation sites, effectively suppressing excessive aggregation of Ti, N, Mn, and S elements, thereby promoting finely dispersed LaAlO3-TiN and LaAlO3-MnS composite inclusions. This work elucidates the synergistic modification mechanism of La on TiN and MnS, providing both theoretical insights and technical solutions for industrial applications of trace rare earths to optimize inclusion control in automotive beam steels.
