Removal of inclusions is of greatsignificance to steelmakers and the scientific principles underpinning inclusion removal has been the subject of numerous investigations in the past and during the last few decades, it has become increasingly obvious that inclusions can be utilized as an effective tool for the control of microstructure1 . Manganese sulfide precipitates are known to crystallize and precipitate preferentially in interdendritic regions during solidification, due to segregation of manganese and sulphur2 and these inclusions have traditionally been used for the dual purpose of improving the machinability and controlling of grain structure in steel. Small MnS particles restrain grain …

One-dimensional α-MnO2 nanowires with a controlled width of 10–20 nm have been developed by means of ultrasonic waves from mesoporous carbon using KMnO4 as the precursor. The formation mechanism has been proposed based on the results. A peak around 100 K was detected in the temperature-dependence of magnetization curve, indicating the ferromagnetic state in nanocomposite mesoporous carbon-MnO2, which is in agreement with the transition temperature found from the magnetization versus applied magnetic field curve. The magnetization versus temperature curve of the obtained MnO2 nanowires showed a magnetic transition at about 50 K, illustrating that a …
