Abstract

High cleanliness is an important guarantee for the long-service of bearing steel. In this study, the effect of crucible materials on cleanliness and inclusion characteristics of high-nitrogen stainless bearing steel (HNSBS) during vacuum carbon deoxidation was comprehensively investigated by microstructure characterization and thermodynamic analysis. The results showed that the ultimate O contents using MgO·Al 2 O 3 , MgO, and ZrO 2 (MA, M, and Z) crucibles could be decreased from about 0.0060 to 0.0028, 0.0012, and 0.0022 wt pct, respectively. The ranking of crucible thermodynamic stability during vacuum carbon deoxidation was M < MA < Z, representing the decreasing of oxygen transfer rate due to crucible decomposition. The deoxidation rate of carbon–oxygen reaction increased with the decreasing of CO partial pressure, and the ranking of deoxidation rate using various crucibles was Z < MA < M. Meanwhile, the main oxide inclusions in steel using MA, M, and Z crucibles transformed from Al 2 O 3 to MgO·Al 2 O 3 , MgO, and ZrO 2 , respectively. The area and average size of inclusions in steel using M crucible were smaller than the others owing to the decreasing of large-size Al 2 O 3 inclusions and the increasing of percentage of low-density Mg-containing inclusions, while the existence of high-density ZrO 2 inclusions in steel using Z crucible restricted the floating and removal of inclusions. Therefore, MgO crucible was more appropriate to melt high-cleanliness HNSBS with lower O content and fewer deleterious inclusions.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
