The test results of surface morphology were presented and discussed. The samples produced in the course of the experiments were used to test their performance for boiling heat transfer of two working agents (distilled water and ethyl alcohol under ambient pressure). The test results indicated a significant improvement in heat flux in relation to the unmodified surface (without laser treatment). The laser treatment method proved to provide considerable advantage over the unmodified surface.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"34 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":"122735727","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 of already obtained materials from pure elemental powders and the prospects for the development of such formation of alloys from the liquid phase, as well as metal-matrix composites by 3D printing, are discussed. The paper presents the result of a specimen formation from a mechanical mixture of Ni / Cr / Fe powder, in the mass ratio of the main components, close in composition to the alloy Inconel 600. The produced multilayer specimen was studied by optical and electron microscopy. Measurement of fluctuations in the chemical composition in the specimen to determine the degree of diffusion of elements in the alloy was carried out. The formation of chromium oxide clusters along the boundaries of the tracks, which, presumably, diffuse in the direction of heat removal during crystallization from the melt, was found. The structure of the specimen is represented by large, elongated grains up to 1-2 mm in size, significantly exceeding the height of one pass. The direction of grain growth corresponds to the growth direction of the specimen in the direction of the Z axis.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"50 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":"123294904","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}

Serial numbers are embossed to each billet. Our automated solution allows product identification without human interaction. There are several problems caused by embossing to the hot steel. First, the numbers are not clearly visible. There is a lot of noise around the serial number which causes shadows and reflections. Next, the surface of the billet is rough with grooves and ridges. These issues affect object detection. As a part of the 4 th Industrial Revolution, artificial intelligence and neural networks are used to automate production. Object recognition identifies which numbers are presented in the image. Another problem occurs when the serial number is located anywhere on the billet surface. The aim is to detect multiple objects in the scene using a single neural network. Our proposed solution is based on an extremely fast and accurate model from a class of deep learning algorithms. To localize and identify individual numbers, the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm is implemented. It predicts bounding boxes and assigns classes from category 0 – 9. The approach is fully automatic and detects embossed numbers in real time. A custom dataset and annotations for train the model is created. Due to the lack of training images, data augmentation is used to extend a dataset by increasing the amount of data.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"26 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":"130552970","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}

Automation based on a systematic approach to problem solving, it focuses on improving technical means, increasing labor productivity and improving product quality. The ultimate goal is to create automatic systems, which operate without human intervention. The article contains a description of the current state of the heavy rolling mill and a proposal for the automation of its individual components. The main goal of the article is to show the use of a camera system and artificial intelligence in the automation of heavy industry processes. To automate the rolling process on a heavy rolling mill, a machine vision will be used with the help of a laser camera system with digital image processing on rolling wagons used for handling with a rolling bar. This is used for the transfer of the rolled bars between the individual stands and between the rolling calibers within the rolling mill stands. The intended automation of the operation follows the Industry 4.0 trend, which is beginning to inspire even these heavy operations. The concept of an automation system based on artificial intelligence and utilization of machine vision is in great demand and it is possible to expect the rapid development of these scientific fields. The article will also focus on issues, which prevents the use of standard commercial solutions. As part of the feasibility analysis, the conditions prevailing in profile rolling were analyzed. The biggest challenge was the presence of steam in the area of the rolling mill stand, which makes it impossible to precisely guide the rolled bars between the rolling calibers.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"95 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":"129640656","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}

Gold and platinum are concentrated in the matte, but a significant part of them ends up in the slag, which reduces the recovery of metals. The main reason for such losses is the flotation of matte droplets containing gold and platinum with gas bubbles. One of the options for reducing the loss of valuable components is to add fluxes to the initial charge before melting. The influence of calcite and fluorite on the distribution of gold and platinum over the melting products of copper-nickel sulphide materials (matte and slag) has been experimentally studied based on the above theoretical concepts of droplet flotation. When calcite was added to sulphide ore, there was a significant decrease in the sulphur content in the slag - more than 3 times. This led to a decrease in non-ferrous metals in the slag by 2-3 times, gold from 0.45 to 0.29 ppm, platinum from 2.15 to 2.06 ppm. The addition of fluorite to the mixture of copper-nickel-iron matte and model slag significantly reduced the content of sulphur, non-ferrous metals by 1.5-2.5 times, gold was not found in the slag. The decrease in the amount of sulphides in the slag is mainly due to the fact that the listed additives reduce the viscosity of the slag. This leads to acceleration of the coagulation of matte droplets and increases the rate of their settling to the slag-matte boundary","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"47 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":"127098083","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}

However, in recent years, the total dry dedusting of BF top-gas has become a common technology. In this case, a fabric filter is used instead of the venturi scrubber. For recycling, the dry dust from a fabric filter is preferable to the sludge from a scrubber. The main constituents of BF dedusting residues, Fe, C and Ca are of some value, while tramp elements, particularly Zn, can cause problems in the process. Results from leaching of the sludge obtained in wet BF dedusting are available. In contrast, data from leaching of dry filter dust from BF dedusting are not available. However, it has to be assumed that the behavior of a dust from dry dedusting deviates somewhat from that of a sludge due to the prolonged residence time of the sludge in the scrubber system under varying pH. In this study the filter dust of a BF top-gas dry dedusting filter was investigated, applying sequential leaching and X-ray diffraction analysis for the investigation of the distribution of Fe, Ca, Zn and Pb in various compounds with a focus on the tramp element Zn.","PeriodicalId":266696,"journal":{"name":"METAL 2021 Conference Proeedings","volume":"50 3 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":"134293825","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}
