Vacuum degassing, introduced in late 1950s for bringing down the hydrogen of liquid steel, continues to be an important refining operation today to meet stringent requirement of hydrogen, which is sometimes as low as 1 ppm or lower. The net hydrogen level in steel depends on the extent of its pick up and removal during various stages of steel making. The measures to control pick up mainly include the use of inputs with low moisture or hydrogen content and those for removal are efficient degassing in VAD, control of ladle slag basicity etc. The hydrogen level in medium carbon wheel steel at Durgapur Steel Plant is controlled by utilising a number of measures in BOF and ladle treatment practices. These include avoidance of late addition of lime in converter, minimisation of carry over slag, delayed and just adequate deoxidation in ladle, recarburisation with low hydrogen pet coke, efficient degassing in VAD at deep vacuum and intense purging, restricting ladle slag basicity to less than 1.2 etc. The measures developed and implemented during the investigation resulted in hydrogen level of 1.2-1.8 ppm consistently.","PeriodicalId":256362,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Metallurgy","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127696708","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}

Examination of reduction roasting with carbon addition for the barite (BaSO 4 ) reduction into good soluble BaS is performed. After water leaching of BaS from the calcined ore, the solid residual is submitted to the magnetic separation procedure for the pyrrhotite (Fe x-1 S x ) separation, which is formed after pyrite (FeS 2 ) dissociation, and for obtaining a collective sulphide concentrate Pb-Zn-Cu. Finally, the sulphide concentrate is leached with the solution of H 2 SO 4 in the presence of oxygen at elevated temperatures and pressures in an autoclave. Through their sulphide oxidation zinc, copper and iron were dissolved, while lead sulphide remained as insoluble in the solid residual after leaching. The influence of the working parameters on the degree of leaching of zinc, copper and iron is examined.","PeriodicalId":256362,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Metallurgy","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131497980","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}

Tempering of SIS 2090 (SAE 9254, DIN 55SiCr7) wire with different dimensions using induction heating was tested in a pilot process line. An induction coil for six wires and two coils with different lengths designed for single wires were tested. The results showed that an induction coil for six wires gave excessive temperature and property variations between the wires. The shorter of the single wire coils gave fluctuations in temperature and properties using a 3.00-mm wire. No such fluctuations were observed with the longer coil. One of the experiments showed that the process might need time to reach stable conditions. The results so far indicate that it is possible to produce valve-spring wire with induction tempering. The process needs more control and monitoring compared to tempering in molten lead.","PeriodicalId":256362,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Metallurgy","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115457819","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 reduction experiment using an induction furnace of 50-kg capacity was also carried out. The experimental results indicated that the smaller the particle size, the shorter the melting time, and it is shorter on steel melt than on slag.
