Abstract
A computational model based on classic homogeneous nucleation theory, thermodynamic analysis and numerical simulation was developed to study steel deoxidation by aluminum in a low carbon aluminum-killed steel ladle. Using the model, the nucleation and time evolution of the alumina inclusion size distribution due to Ostwald ripening, Brownian collision and turbulent collision were calculated.
