摘　　要：Non-metallic inclusion in steel is a very key factor affecting the fatigue life and quality stability of high-quality bearing steel.Inclusions mainly affect the fatigue life and toughness of the material by affecting the continuity of the steel matrix,thereby endangering the safety and stability of the equipment.The research progress of inclusion formation,removal and modification was discussed.Based on the current research status of Al deoxidation or Si deoxidation process,the feasibility of non-alloy deoxidation process for high-quality bearing steel was proposed and discussed.C or H_(2) is used as non-alloy deoxidizer,and the deoxidation products are CO and H_(2)O gases,which are easy to be removed from the molten steel.There are few studies on the non-alloy deoxidation process,especially the research and application of C or H_(2) deoxidation for high-quality bearing steel.However,the non-alloy deoxidation process is of great significance for reducing oxygen content and improving cleanliness of high-quality bearing steel.Therefore,it is necessary to study the mechanism and kinetics of C and H_(2) deoxidation and analyze the factors affecting deoxidation effect systematically,so as to provide a solid theoretical basis for the practice of non-alloy deoxidation process for high-quality bearing steel.
