Abstract
THE appearance of non-metallic inclusions and their influence on the mechanical and corrosion properties of steel have been the subject of many investigations1,2. For the determination of silicate inclusions, many methods (chlorine, bromine, iodine and electrolytic) have been used successfully. But they are all rather difficult ; other simpler methods, such as the dissolution of the steel sample in nitric, hydrochloric or sulphuric acids, give uncertain results. In the search for a simple method, we used the dissolution of steel in acetic acid.
