ժҪ An improved di.usion couple method was used to simulate the dynamic process of the solid-state reaction at the interface between oxide inclusions and a steel matrix deoxidized by Si and Mn during heat treatment at 1473.K. Experimental results indicated that good contact between the oxide and steel matrix was attained after pre-treatment at 1673.K. In addition, the reaction between the oxide and steel matrix at 1673.K was suppressed, and the e.ect of this reaction on the di. usion couple experiments at 1473.K was minimized. In the di.usion couple experiments, the di.usion of oxygen from the oxide to the steel matrix resulted in the precipitation of .ne oxide particles and a decrease in the Mn content in the steel matrix near the interface after heat treatment at 1473.K. With increasing heat treatment time, the widths of the particle precipitation zone (PPZ) and Mn-depleted zone (MDZ) gradually increased. In addition, the solid-state reaction at the interface between the oxide and steel matrix was intense, and the widths of the PPZ and MDZ increased rapidly during the 0�C20.h stage of heat treatment, especially during the 0�C5.h stage. The interfacial reaction was retarded, and the rates of width expansion of PPZ and MDZ decreased with increasing heat treatment time.
