Abstract：The formation reasons of defects in high-frequency detection of bearing steel (GCr15) were analyzed systematically， by tracking the source and evolution of inclusions associated with defects in different locations using ASPEX automatic scanning electron microscope. The results showed that， large MgO-Al2O3 inclusions existing in steel matrix resulted in the defects. Most of MgO-Al2O3 inclusions are produced in ladle furnace (LF) and tundish locations; the removal rate of MgO-Al2O3 inclusions reached 93.1 percent during vacuum degassing furnace (VD) process. Erosion of tundish refractory reduced significantly and the qualified rate of defect detection of GCr15 bearing steel of enhanced from 79% to 98% by improving the volume density and compressive strength of refractory， and reducing content of MgO and SiO2 in tundish refractory.
