The silicon deoxidation equilibrium between the 16Cr-14Ni-1.5Mn-Si melts and the CaO-SiO2-8MgO-5CaF2 (basicity=1.8) slag at 1743 K was investigated to understand the effect of aluminum and silicon contents on the composition of inclusions. Therefore, the ferrosilicon alloys with different aluminum content were chosen based on the preceding objective. In addition, the phase stability diagram of the inclusions was computed using commercial thermodynamic software based on the Gibbs energy minimization principles. The content of MnO in the inclusions sharply decreases with increasing silicon content when the steel melts were deoxidized by the ferrosilicon alloys containing high aluminum (FeSi-H). The content of SiO2 in the inclusions slightly increases with increasing silicon content when the FeSi-L is used, while a maximum value is shown at [Si]=1.5 pct when the FeSi-H is used. The content of MgO in the inclusions increases by increasing the content of silicon, regardless of the kinds of ferrosilicon alloys. The use of the FeSi-L as a deoxidizer could suppress the formation of Al2O3 in the inclusions, while the content of Al2O3 increases with increasing silicon content when the FeSi-H is used. When the FeSi-H is used as a deoxidizer, the inclusions are the glassy type with the composition of Mn-silicates at [Si]≤1.3 pct, while the Mg(Ca)-silicates with the composition of the forsterite phase are observed in the steel composition of [Si]=3.3 pct. When the steel melts were deoxidized by the FeSi-L alloys, the inclusions are the glassy-type Mn-silicates at [Si]=0.8 pct, while the Mn-silicates containing the cristobalite phase are observed at [Si]=1.5 to 2.4 pct. In the composition of [Si]=3.3 pct, the Mg-silicates with the composition of the rhodonite phase are observed. The log(X SiO2/X MnO) of the inclusions linearly increases by increasing the log [a Si · a O / a Mn] with the slope close to unity when the FeSi-L is used as a deoxidizer, while the slope of the line is about 2 times greater than that of the expected value when FeSi-H is used. The log (X MgO/X MnO) of the inclusions linearly increases by increasing the log [a Mg/a Mn] with slopes greater than the expected value of unity.
