Abstract
A new method is proposed to investigate the transient reaction between the CaO–Al2O3 inclusion from slag entrainment and the high aluminum molten steel. The confocal laser scanning microscopy, the X‐ray computerized tomography technology, and the scanning electron microscope‐energy dispersive spectrometer are combined to observe the variation of the size, shape, and composition of the entrained slag inclusion with time. The CaO in the inclusion is reduced by the dissolved aluminum in the molten steel. With the increase of the dissolved aluminum content from 0.02 to 5.73 wt%, the CaO in inclusions under equilibrium state decreased from 55 to 35 wt%. The reaction between the dissolved aluminum in the steel and the CaO in the calcium aluminate inclusion at 1873 K is discussed through thermodynamic and kinetic calculations, which are consistent with experimental results. It is indicated that the mass transfer coefficient of the CaO in the inclusion is 2.95 × 10−5 m s−1.
期刊介绍:
steel research international is a journal providing a forum for the publication of high-quality manuscripts in areas ranging from process metallurgy and metal forming to materials engineering as well as process control and testing. The emphasis is on steel and on materials involved in steelmaking and the processing of steel, such as refractories and slags.
steel research international welcomes manuscripts describing basic scientific research as well as industrial research. The journal received a further increased, record-high Impact Factor of 1.522 (2018 Journal Impact Factor, Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2019)).
The journal was formerly well known as "Archiv für das Eisenhüttenwesen" and "steel research"; with effect from January 1, 2006, the former "Scandinavian Journal of Metallurgy" merged with Steel Research International.
Hot Topics:
-Steels for Automotive Applications
-High-strength Steels
-Sustainable steelmaking
-Interstitially Alloyed Steels
-Electromagnetic Processing of Metals
-High Speed Forming
