High-temperature experiments and Refractory-Slag-Metal-Inclusion (ReSMI) multiphase reaction simulations were carried out to determine the effect of the ladle slag composition on the formation behavior of non-metallic inclusions in molten steel. Immediately after the slag-metal reaction, magnesium migrated to the molten steel and a MgAl{sub 2}O{sub 4} spinel inclusion was formed due to a reaction between magnesium and alumina inclusions. However, the spinel inclusion changed entirely into a liquid oxide inclusion via the transfer of calcium from slag to metal in the final stage of the reaction. Calcium transfer from slag to metal was more enhanced for lower SiO{sub 2} content in the slag. Consequently, the spinel inclusion was modified to form a liquid CaO-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-MgO-SiO{sub 2} inclusion, which is harmless under steelmaking conditions. The modification reaction was more efficient as the SiO{sub 2} content in the slag decreases.
