With the increasing use requirements of wind power gear mechanical parts, particularly in offshore and high-altitude desert regions, the maintenance cost is high, sometimes the cost of replacing parts is even equivalent to the material cost, and in order to ensure that a wind power generation gear box is stably used for twenty years and not changed, the standards of gear steel inclusion for wind power by downstream users are increasingly strict.
At present, the cleanliness of common low-carbon CrNiMo gear steel is difficult to adapt to the use requirements of wind power industry under large load and complex environment.

In the aspects of molten steel cleanliness and inclusions, once improper control is achieved, the steel is extremely easy to become a fatigue crack source in the using process, and the service life of the steel is shortened.
