Inclusions play an important role in the performance of steel products. In this respect, they should be accurately characterized in steels. Developing computer technology and softwares have been allowed to evaluate the inclusion content of a steel products by classifying and rating numerous inclusions in a large number of fields through optical microscope. However, due to the difficulties encountered in classification, it still needs experienced operators’ intervention, and advanced tools like SEM-EDS for accurate results
