And it is complicated to calculate the total temperature rise of rolling deformation zone due to the comprehensive influence of the plastic deformation heat, the friction heat and the contact heat loss. So, to precisely calculate the total temperature rise, firstly, based on the four classical cold rolling force formulas, the initial total temperature rise calculation models are established correspondingly by theoretically analyzing the temperature rise of deformation heat, the temperature rise of friction heat and the temperature drop of contact heat loss; then, the model based on the improved Lian rolling force formula is adopted, which leads to calculated best matching the measured temperature; finally, considering the complex formula calculation of the initial model, based on the influences of different rolling parameters on the total temperature rise, a simplified model for convenient calculation is proposed by the nonlinear regression analysis of the initial model calculation results and main rolling parameters, which is convenient for the actual application by the field technicians.","PeriodicalId":18527,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical Research & Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90960995","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 high stabilization of Nb-rich MC carbides can pin the grain boundaries during high-temperature austenitizing process, thus conferring a fine grains and raising the content of dissolved alloying elements.

The study indicated that the yield and tensile strengths are increased with the increase of intercritical annealing temperature during rapid heating continuous annealing. When the annealing temperature was 780 °C, the steel exhibited good comprehensive properties with yield strength of 574.9 MPa, tensile strength up to 1009 MPa, total elongation of 18.5%. This is attributed to refined microstructure, appropriate proportion of phases, high density of dislocations and finely distributed NbC precipitates. Furthermore, the variations in strength, elongation and strain-hardening behavior of the steel with thermomechanical parameters and the inherent mechanism for strengthening were further discussed in relation to the microstructural features.","PeriodicalId":18527,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical Research & Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76875428","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}

Continuous austenitization destabilizes the austenite matrix through precipitation of secondary carbides and transforms the alloy depleted austenite to pearlite on furnace cooling, thereby reducing the as-cast hardness from HV 669 to HV466. In contrast, repeated austenitization not only destabilizes the austenite matrix through precipitation of secondary carbides followed by its transformation to martensite on forced air cooling, but also causes disintegration of longer eutectic carbides to shorter segments with subsequent increase in hardness to as high as HV 890. Notched impact toughness after both continuous and cyclic annealing remains uniformly at 12.0 J as compared to as-cast value of 6.0 J. Besides, an unexpected rise in abrasive wear resistance after cyclic annealing treatment makes the alloy superior than that obtained by continuous annealing treatment as practiced in industries.","PeriodicalId":18527,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical Research & Technology","volume":"232 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77075718","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 present work focused on the mixed dynamics of multi-component and multi-size systems in rotary kiln using discrete element method (DEM). We first confirmed that the final particle distribution and mixing degree are independent of the initial particle distribution, and then further discussed the influence of the key operating parameters such as rotating speed, average size ratio and filling degree on mixing behavior. The size segregation pattern of three components shows that the large particles segregated to the outer region, while the small particles were concentrated in the core region, forming an annular distribution with different particle sizes. Furthermore, the results also indicate that the rotational speed and fill degree show strong influence on the mixing time and have little influence on the mixing quality. Conversely, the average size ratio significantly affects on the mixing quality. The particle segregation is suppressed and the coal and iron ore particles are well mixed together for the whole bed when the average size of coal particles is smaller than that of iron ore particle. The findings of this work provide a reference for controlling and optimizing the particle mixing process in pre-reduction rotary kiln.","PeriodicalId":18527,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical Research & Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90651273","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}

However, the separation of silicon from slag is very difficult due to the close density of silicon and slag as well as the high viscosity of slag, which results in the waste of resources. In the present work, the effect of Na2O addition on the separation of silicon from slag is investigated in detail. It is found that the optimum separation condition of slag and silicon is 1723 K reacting for 60 min by adding 10 mass% Na2O to the slag. Viscosity and density are two important factors affecting the separation effect of silicon from slag. The addition of Na2O reduces the viscosity of slag and promotes the separation of silicon from slag. Even if the addition of Na2O will decrease the density of slag which is detrimental to the separation of silicon, the density variation is not the determining factor affecting the separation relative to viscosity. The separation and extraction of metallic silicon from silicon slag is of great significance for improving utilization of resources and reducing environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":18527,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgical Research & Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89147529","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 low weight ratio of Mg to Si corresponds to slightly higher yield strength and ultimate tensile strength, but much higher plastic strain ration r , work hardening exponent n values and elongation. Interestingly, Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect is very prevailed in the alloy sheet with a higher weight ratio of Mg to Si and additional Zn, which is responsible for the low elongation and r value.
