The deoxidation behaviors of alloys bearing barium in pipe steel were researched with MgO crucible under argon atmosphere in MoSi₂ furnace at 1873 K. The total oxygen contents of molten steel, the distribution, size and morphology of deoxidation products in the steel were surveyed. The metamorphic mechanism for deoxidation products of alloy bearing barium was also discussed. The results show that applying alloy bearing barium to the pipe steel, very low total oxygen contents can be obtained, and deoxidation products, which easily float up from molten steel, can be changed in-to globular shape and uniformly distributed in steel. The equilibrium time of total oxygen is a-bout 25 min, and the terminal total oxygen contents range from 0. 0020% to 0. 0022% after treating with SiCa wire. The best deoxidizers are SiAlBaCa and SiAlBaCaSr.
