The refinement of inclusions in molten steel induced by a continuous electric current pulse was investigated at 1823 K. The results revealed that due to the application of electric current, the melted sulphide inclusions in molten steel were refined. Analysed from the thermodynamic theory, the refinement mechanism was ascribed to the decrease in the system free energy that resulted from the formation of the refined sulphide inclusions in molten steel at 1823 K. Hence, the electric current pulse treatment may be a new method to refine inclusions in molten metallic materials in the future.
