Data analysis shows that use of such technology to obtain composite materials with enhanced functional properties is of heightened economical interest. The paper presents the results of research aimed at study the possibility synthesizing dispersion-strengthened steel by hard TiN particles formed during the interaction of elemental Ti powder with N 2 gas. It is added 5 % of VT1-0 titanium powder to the AISI H13 tool steel to form a mechanical mixture. Specimen was synthesized from this mixture on a substrate by laser cladding under nitrogen. Owing to the optical and electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis as well as microhardness testing it was determined that as a result of synthesis, an alloy of steel with Ti with a lower hardness value is formed compared to the H13 steel deposited in pure form. Uniformly distributed nonmetallic inclusions were found, including titanium nitride in the form of dispersed particles. Thus, it can be concluded that before the titanium powder enters the melt pool, there is not enough temperature and time for diffusion processes with the formation of non-melting TiN particles in the steel matrix. Therefore, this phase is formed from the melt during crystallization. As a result, the high titanium in the form of an alloying element in steel does not lead to the targeted formation of a hardened metal-matrix composite but increases the plastic properties and reduces the quality of track formation during process.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124255592","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}

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the application of green fertilizers containing humic acids in agricultural activities. Water-soluble fraction of humic acid (WSHA) can be released from these fertilizers and subsequently interact with metallic materials (e.g. steel) located in soils and waters. WSHA were leached from an aqueous suspension of humic acids isolated from South Moravian lignite. Corrosion tests were performed on a low-carbon steel using a potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectrometry. Results suggest that corrosion was initially promoted due to the formation of complex compounds of watersoluble humic acids with released iron ions. After a long time, a positive effect of WSHA was observed as the corrosion resistance of low-carbon steel increased.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123636369","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}

A good hot ductility behavior is essential to avoid the formation of defects during slab casting. The behavior of two low alloyed steels, with different compositions in B-, Cr-, Ni- and Ti-content, was compared to understand the features that might bring improvements in hot ductility, and consequently reduce the occurrence of defects. The first alloy investigated presents a low content of all elements and the second has a composition with a higher fraction of the alloying elements referred to. Hot tensile tests after in situ melting of the samples were performed to reveal the hot ductility behavior of the each microalloyed steel. The results of final reduction of area showed a much better ductility of the second steel, alloyed with higher B, Cr, Ni and Ti-content, in comparison to the first. Initial microstructure analysis was performed as a means of better evaluating the effects of the temperatures and strain rate applied in both steels. Furthermore, precipitation kinetics of both steels were calculated using the MatCalc software, determining the expected mean radius, number density and phase fraction of the predicted precipitates. Possible reasons for the changes seen experimentally are discussed based on both, simulations and microstructure analysis.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124670600","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}

Today, there are many modern tools and methods to optimize operational operations and maintenance itself. The aim of the paper is to describe the creation of a technical and economic model of metallurgical equipment for the optimization of preventive maintenance. At present, attention is paid mainly to technical parameters, in contrast to economic indicators. Maintenance costs make up a large part of the operating costs of most manufacturing companies. Maintenance is often considered an economic burden, which only consumes considerable funds and does not create any on its own. Based on the reliability analysis of the data obtained in this way, a reliability model of the given production unit will be created, enabling in the on-line mode the prediction of the technical condition of the metallurgical equipment and possibly their defined machine nodes. The application of artificial intelligence methods will create software tools for computer support of organization and maintenance management, for operational production management in connection with systems for spare parts warehouse management, etc. The principle of the model will be demonstrated on the strategy of periodic preventive maintenance. The so-called combined approach will be applied for the solution of the model and the subsequent optimization of maintenance, which means that not only artificial intelligence methods are used to solve a certain problem, but a connection with some other method.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128382082","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 fourth industrial revolution is a sign for the current trend of modernization and automation of individual workplaces and equipment. As part of the modernization of the continuous casting machine No. 1 (ZPO1) of Třinecké železárny, a. s., (TŽ), the electromechanical oscillating mechanism has been recently replaced by a modern hydraulic oscillating mechanism from Danieli. However, due to the implemented modernization interventions, it was necessary to address other important aspects associated with the control of continuous casting technology, such as the functionality of anti-breakout system (so-called DGS) which was based in 2000 on the analysis of a digital signal from the cardan shaft to change the time shifts of the frequency of the oscillating mechanism. This signal, by switching to the new hydraulic cylinder drive technology, was no longer available for calculation in breakout prediction system, and therefore it was necessary to develop a new way of evaluating the breakout alarm called ABS. At the same time, however, new possibilities have emerged to further develop the continuous casting management process to meet the requirements of the Industry 4.0 concept. The new prediction system is currently based on friction force change in hydraulic cylinder. Friction coefficient is directly calculated, from analogue signals coming from hydraulic oscillation machine. The evaluation criteria are automatically set according to steel grades.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"41 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128483246","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}
