In the paper, the effects of adding rare earth element Ce into Cr12MoNiNb mold steel on its inclusions and mechanical properties are studied. The morphology, size and composition of inclusions are observed and measured with scanning electron microscope, energy spectrometer and field emission electron probe. The size, quantity and precipitation law of inclusions are statistically analyzed with analysis software as well as hardness and room-temperature impact energy of samples are measured with Vickers hardness tester and impact tester. The results showed that circular or elliptical composite inclusions containing rare earth were formed in the mold steel after adding 0.002 8% of rare earth Ce and quantity of inclusions was decreased by 21.43% compared with those of the steel without adding rare earth elements so that liquid steel was purified; average size of inclusions was decreased from 3.95 μm to 3.13 μm, which was decreased by 20.76%. The hardness and room-temperature impact energy of mold steel are increased by adding rare earth Ce. Its Vickers hardness (HV) is increased from 263.0 to 283.0 and room-temperature impact energy is increased from 16.65 J to 20.05 J, which is increased by 20.42%.
