The presence or absence of accelerants is critical evidence during trials for fire cases. Upon exposure to high temperatures, metallic substances undergo oxidation, which can be imparted by accelerants in the fire. Oxides and substrates found on metal surfaces offer valuable information on the characteristics of fire, including exposure temperature, duration, and involvement of a liquid accelerant. In this study, we investigated the oxidation behavior of copper at high temperatures in a simulated flame environment using ethanol combustion. After oxidation, the morphological, oxide phase composition, and microstructural features of specimens were characterized by observation, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron energy spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopic analysis. The elemental carbon with a hexagonal structure deposited on the sample’s surface was found, which may be incomplete combustion and the chemical composition of ethanol. Copper has a preferred orientation of oxide on the (111) crystal plane, which differs from oxidation in ordinary hot air that is related to the large Coulomb force of the (111) crystal plane. Hot air convection due to combustion may cause large areas of oxide layer on the copper surface to crack and peel. Oxide properties and surface state of metals strongly depended on oxidation duration, temperature, and atmosphere. These data shall offer reference information for determining the presence of combustion accelerants at fire scenes.","PeriodicalId":12966,"journal":{"name":"High Temperature Materials and Processes","volume":"41 1","pages":"216 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44977448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that with an increase in the ambient temperature, the jet-axis velocity and nozzle centerline speed increase. Under the same distance condition, the distance between the maximum radial velocity point of the jet and the centerline of the nozzle becomes larger, with a velocity greater than that of the swirl nozzle. However, the influence of the ambient temperature on the offset of the jet centerline is small. With an increase in the ambient temperature and distance, the jet-axis temperature increases and the temperature of the nozzle centerline decreases.

Thermal stability tests were carried out to compare the hardness evolution of the two steel types. The hardness reduction of 5CrNiMoVNb at 600 and 650°C was only 4.3HRC and 9.6HRC, while that of 5CrNiMoV steel at the same condition was as large as 6.5HRC and 17.5HRC, respectively, which suggests that the thermal stability of the 5CrNiMoVNb steel is more excellent. The thermal stability mechanism of 5CrNiMoVNb was studied based on microstructure analyses and thermodynamic calculations. This suggests that high tempering temperatures cause the coarsening of some carbides and suppress the recovery and recrystallization of the martensite matrix, which is the main reason for the slight decrease in the thermal stability. For the adding of the medium and strong carbide-forming elements, the carbides in 5CrNiMoVNb steel are mainly MC and M23C6 with low coarsening rate coefficient, and the content of these two carbides is almost constant below 670°C. The fine MC and M23C6 carbides showed strong pinning and dragging effects on the dislocations and suppressed martensite recovery and recrystallization. Therefore, the novel hot-work die steel showed excellent tempering softening resistance and thermal stability than 5CrNiMoV steel.","PeriodicalId":12966,"journal":{"name":"High Temperature Materials and Processes","volume":"41 1","pages":"353 - 363"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47572819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate prediction of liquid steel composition at the end of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) plays an important role in promoting high-quality, high-efficiency and stable production in steelmaking process. A prediction model based on the principal component analysis (PCA) – genetic algorithm (GA) – back propagation (BP) neural network is proposed for BOF end-point P and O contents of liquid steel. PCA is used to eliminate the correlation between the factors, and the obtained principal components are seen as input parameters of the BP neural network; then, GA is employed to optimize the initialized weights and thresholds of the BP neural network. The flux composition and bottom blowing are considered in the input variables. The results indicate that the prediction accuracy of the single output model is higher than that of the dual output model. The root-mean-square error of P content between predicted and actual values is 0.0015%, and that of O content is 0.0049%. Therefore, the model can provide a good reference for BOF end-point control.","PeriodicalId":12966,"journal":{"name":"High Temperature Materials and Processes","volume":"41 1","pages":"505 - 513"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46541284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of grains declined, and the radius of columnar grains became coarsening.
