Therefore, the blast furnace coke demand has increased. This excess demand for metallurgical coke production from the existing non-recovery stamp charge coke oven plant was a very tough challenge, because the coke oven plant was already running at rated production capacity. Therefore, to fulfill the requirement of excess coke and to deliver more value to the customers, several initiatives have been taken by the Coke Oven and Technical Services Department within the existing setup. Few approaches had been adopted to increase the productivity of coke by ∼20% without deteriorating the resultant coke quality. This paper describes in details the steps taken to enhance the productivity of non-recovery stamp charge coke oven plant.","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":"80823528","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 results show that the microstructure consisted of ferrite and pearlite in all specimens when the HCT was between 500 ∼ 850 °C. The difference was that pearlite amount increased obviously at 750 °C, which is detrimental to the plasticity of steels. The reason for more pearlite is that ferrite and austenite coexisted at 750 °C, which belongs to the dual-phase region temperature. The reversed transformation of ferrite to austenite happened and the pre-existing austenite became coarse during the secondary austenization. The carbon content in fine reversed austenite was relatively low, while the coarse austenite contained higher carbon content, which decomposed into blocky pearlite in the final cooling process. Therefore, to obtain the desirable ferrite phase, the HCT of about 750 °C should be avoided. The results provide theoretical reference for optimizing hot-charging rolling process parameters.","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":"80671105","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 Goss texture appeared only on surface layer with content 3.44%∼3.65%.

The precipitates in hot rolled sheets comprised Cu2 S and few AlN, and the average particle size was ∼14 nm. The inhibitors in the decarburization annealing sheet were mainly AlN, Cu2 S, MnS and their composite precipitation, which were spherical or massive with the average particle size ∼21 nm.

Of these four joints, the joint fabricated by circular pin profiled tool exhibits poor tensile and wear properties whereas hexagonal pin profiled tool exhibits better tensile and wear properties.

AA5052 and AA6101-T6 aluminium alloys are widely applied in transport industries, due to their lightweight and high strength and hence, joining of these two are unavoidable. Friction stir welding is an unconventional welding method, which is developed for constructing lightweight structures. This work describes the detailed study of friction stir welded dissimilar AA5052 and AA6101-T6 alloys. AA5052 and AA6101-T6 plates are welded with rotation rates of 765–1400 rpm and offset distances at advancing side of 0–2 mm. For this purpose, four levels of welding parameters based on Taguchi L16 orthogonal array are chosen. To determine the optimum combinational levels and identify the effect of above-mentioned parameters on tensile and wear properties, Signal to Noise ratio and ANOVA respectively are used. From the results, it is observed that the combination of 1 mm offset distance at advancing side and 1400 rpm rotating speed produces better tensile and wear properties, which is due to high heat generation, sufficient flow of materials and balanced precipitation and strain hardening effects. On the other hand, the combination of 2 mm tool offset at advancing side and 765 rpm rotational rate exhibits poor properties, which is associated with low heat input, defects formation, precipitate coarsening and lesser strain hardening effects.","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":"73131068","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 relationship between energy density, specimen densification, cracks formation and evolution of directional microstructure was shown. It was found that higher linear energy density results in fewer cracking and defects. Cracking in lower energy samples was attributed to the formation of thermal shrinkage pores in the interdendritic spaces and precipitation of Ta, Mo and Nb carbides along the dendrites boundaries.","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":"85208410","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}

This estimation is in the case of highly-nonlinear issues often solved via gradient optimization algorithms. Nevertheless, by natural processes or physical laws inspired approaches (metaheuristic algorithms) are also of high interest. In the submitted manuscript, three selected metaheuristic algorithms were compared under the approximation of an experimental hot flow curve dataset via the wellknown Hensel-Spittel relationship. One often used gradient algorithm was also included into this comparison. Results have showed that the metaheuristic algorithms are useful if such complex approximation model is applied and no estimate of material constants from a previous approximation issue is used. On the other hand, if this estimation exists, the gradient algorithms should provide a better solution.","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":"78698246","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}
