High pellets operation is a developing direction in the future. The function of blast furnace slag system cannot be ignored. In order to balance the MgO content in blast furnace slag and improve the metallurgical properties of pellets in the high pellets ratio operation, the research on MgO-bearing pellets is necessary. In this paper, the metallurgical properties of MgO-bearing pellets and the properties of blast furnace slag effect by MgO in different raw material conditions, especially for Vanadium Titanomagnetite, were analysed and summarized. This review provided a reference for the development of MgO-bearing pellets and the performance of blast furnace slag effect by MgO. It is hoped to reduce pollution and promote the technical progress of blast furnace ironmaking.","PeriodicalId":14753,"journal":{"name":"Ironmaking & Steelmaking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45540084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional finite element numerical analysis method generally adopts a fixed algorithm to calculate the whole rolling process.

In this paper, according to the characteristics of different rolling stages, on the basis of considering the degree of metal deformation, a particle swarm hybrid algorithm with adaptive weight-learning factor is proposed.The Zoutendijk algorithm, Rosen algorithm, Wolfe algorithm and particle swarm hybrid algorithm are used to numerically simulate the rolling transverse thickness distribution. The accuracy of the rolling model and the particle swarm hybrid algorithm are verified. The influence of work roll edge contact and asymmetric roll bending on the deformation of rolling metal is analysed based on particle swarm mixing algorithm.","PeriodicalId":14753,"journal":{"name":"Ironmaking & Steelmaking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43744421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strength of a briquette made with Blast furnace flue dust and iron oxide with fly ash as a binder depends upon the briquetting pressure, particle size of fly ash, fly ash quantity, and curing temperature. In this study, the effect of process variables on the strength was investigated with ANOVA. The correlation between the process parameters and the strength was examined experimentally and RSM-based optimisation was performed during the preparation of briquettes. The RSM provided optimisation with a confidence level of 95% using the CCD design. This paper demonstrates the correlation between applied pressure, particle size, fly ash quantity, and curing temperature. The developed mathematical model would help in predicting the variation in the compressive strength with the change in the level of different parameters. This model can be useful for setting the optimum value of the parameters for achieving the target compressive strength.","PeriodicalId":14753,"journal":{"name":"Ironmaking & Steelmaking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45234763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A constant 6.5 tons of bottoming force has been applied at the end of the bending stroke and the force has been held on the samples for 0, 10s and 60s to observe the effect of force holding time on the spring-back. In addition, the effect of blankholder force on the spring-back has also been investigated for MART1400 steel. It has been found that the decrease of blankholder force and the friction between the die and sheet interfaces has considerably reduced the spring-back in the sidewalls and flange regions and also lowered the side wall curl. It has been revealed through finite element analysis that the sheet bottom has suffered a larger deformation in lower friction conditions and blankholder forces and caused in the reduction of spring-back.","PeriodicalId":14753,"journal":{"name":"Ironmaking & Steelmaking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48735368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples were initially austenitized at 850°C for 20 min, followed by austempering in a salt bath at the temperatures of 250–270–290°C for 20 min during the first stage. Subsequently, a second stage austempering was carried out by raising the temperature of the salt bath to 300°C at an average heating rate of 0.5°C/min, and the samples were kept in the salt bath for achieving a total austempering time of 120 min including the heating time. A conventional single-stage austempering was also conducted for comparison purposes, in which the austenitization temperature, the austempering temperatures and total time (stage I and stage II, i.e. 120 min) were kept the same for the benchmark samples. In the characterization studies, tensile test, hardness test, XRD analysis, optical microscope and field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) equipped with EBSD detector were utilized. The findings of this study indicated that lowering the austempering temperature resulted in refining the structure with a decrease in the amount of austenite. According to the carbon content analysis through XRD patterns, the two-step austempering processes appeared to have considerably increased the carbon content of the austenite irrespective of austempering temperature. The best ultimate tensile strength (U.T.S) of 2194 MPa was achieved in the conventionally austempered sample at the lowest temperature of 250°C, while the best yield strength (Y.S.) of 1753 MPa was reached in the stepped austempered sample initially at 250°C followed by 300°C. In general, two-step austempering process led to a higher yield strength while affecting the ultimate tensile strength and total elongation depending on the austempering temperature.","PeriodicalId":14753,"journal":{"name":"Ironmaking & Steelmaking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42712178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The morphology of observed MnS inclusion is mainly polygonal (type III), the observed microstructures of the steel are bulk-, acicular-ferrite, and pearlite, the inclusions are mainly present in the bulk-ferrite. The calculation results of inclusion relative plasticity show that 13 ppm Te reduces the relative plasticity of inclusions, while at a Te content of 22 ppm, the relative plasticity of inclusions increases by approximately 70%.

An island dendrite structure was observed in the hypoperitectic steel (15CrMo) at growth velocities of 15, 50, and 80 μm·s−1. While a traditional peritectic dendritic structure was observed in the hyperperitectic steel (20CrMo) at growth velocities of 15 and 50 μm·s−1, an island dendrite structure was observed at a growth velocity of 80 μm·s−1. An analysis of the solute distributions near the liquid-solid interface during solidification revealed the role of the steel grade and cooling velocity on the formation of island dendrite structures. Higher cooling velocities caused higher carbon concentration gradients in the liquid phase near the liquid-solid interface, leading to a stronger driving force for the peritectic reaction and, consequently, a more favourable formation of island dendrite structures. Hypoperitectic steel is more prone to the formation of island dendrite structures than hyperperitectic steel.","PeriodicalId":14753,"journal":{"name":"Ironmaking & Steelmaking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48546024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ladle slag powder is composed of such compounds as CaO, Al2O3, SiO2 containing percentages of CaF2 to make special changes to the chemical and physical properties of the compound. The procedure for determination of the viscosity obtained by IPT method was supported using a high-temperature viscometer. The results showed that the ribbon lengths of LRC powder obtained by using the IPT method were related to an Arrhenius relationship of viscosity. Furthermore, from the advanced mathematical relationships, it was found that there is a very close relationship between the oxygen-to-silicon molar ratio (O/Si), basic/acidic oxide molar ratio (B/A), the number of non-bridging oxygen per tetrahedrally-coordinated atoms (NBO/T), and the chemical compositions of LRC powder. Hence, the advanced mathematical relationships from the software output, and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), were used to determine the prediction model of the viscosity of LRC powder based on its chemical composition.
