In the present work, the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag was modified by blast furnace (BF) slag and then beaded by the means of gas quenching. The gas-quenching rate, bead formation rate, physical properties, microscopic characteristics and free lime (f-CaO) of gas-quenched slag beads were analyzed to broaden the utilization of BOF slag. The results show that the more BF slag is added, the higher the gas-quenching rate is, and the lower the bead formation rate becomes. When no BF slag is added, the beads are mainly composed of magnetite, limonite and melilite. After BF slag is added, a large amount of glass phase and a little amount of Ca2 SiO4 and MgO are found in beads. The content of f-CaO beads decreases after the modified slag is gas quenched at high temperature. Moreover, the more BF slag is added, the higher the elimination rate of f-CaO becomes. Considering the industry standard of steel slag sand in China as well as the gas-quenching rate, physical and chemical properties, the gas-quenched steel slag beads with 5 and 15% BF slag better meet the medium sand standard, which can be used as fine aggregate.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79910782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The innovative techniques allow extracting a large amount of geometrical information about the entire tearing process and the crack tip development. The steady state tearing was evaluated using automotive steel sheets and the tearing resistance was determined for three grades of thin sheets.

Processing of single-phase cathode material in inert atmosphere yielded pure metallic cobalt, whereas, higher metallic recoveries and metal purity were obtained by processing of mixed cathode material in ambient conditions. The excellent product obtained under ambient conditions comprises 68% Co, 21% Mn, 2.5% Ni with saturation magnetization: 106 emu/g, and a precursor for the synthesis of cathode material.

The main aim of this work was to determine the critical casting speed and also to specify, which entrainment mechanism is most responsible for transport of slag droplets into steel volume. Physical modeling was based on water-oil model of mould, made on reduced linear scale of Sl = 0.4. In mathematical modeling, Realizable k-e and LES WALE models were used to describe turbulent motion of water and oil, whereas Volume of Fluid model was used to take into account interactions between phases. It was found, that the main cause of slag entrainment is the formation of von Karman vortex in the vicinity of submerged entry nozzle. The results of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations were compared each other. Both method are a useful tools for modeling of slag entrainment. Great agreement was found between laboratory experiments and numerical simulation carried out using LES WALE model, regarding the shape of the oil and oil entrainment as a result of vortex structures formation. However, in the simulation case using Realizable k-e model, the oil entrainment hasn’t been modeled for the conditions under consideration.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75786944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional forming limit curves are recorded at room temperature and do not adequately describe the forming capacity for hot sheet metal forming as it strongly depends on temperature. Therefore, in this paper, an experimental-numerical method for determining quasi-isothermal FLC at high forming temperatures is applied to the martensitic chromium steel AISI 420C (X46Cr13) for forming temperatures between 7501,050 °C according to its process route.

In this study the diode laser device was used. As a result of diffusion boriding the obtained surface layers were characterized by needlelike microstructure with good cohesion with the substrate but in the subsurface area delamination and porosity could be observed. Therefore the diffusion boronized layer was processed using laser heat treatment. As a result of influence of the laser beam, three zones were obtained. The remelted zone near the surface, next the heat affected zone and finally steel substrate were observed. The newly created microstructure in the remelted zone consisted of boron-martensite eutectic. Microhardness of boronized layer after laser processing in comparison to the one without laser processing was slightly lower and was approx. from 1300 HV0.1 to 1100 HV0.1. It was found that additional advantage of laser processing of boronized layers was the presence of heat affected zone. This led to obtaining a mild microhardness gradient between the surface and the substrate. The boronized layer after laser processing was characterized by higher wear resistance in comparison to one not subjected to this kind of processing.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72531959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
