The results show that the particle size distribution (PSD) of pre-alloyed NiTi powders prepared by EIGA has the range of 10 ?m to 180 ?m. The mean particle size distribution (D50) of the powder is 75 ?m. The oxygen increase of the powder is only 0.005% compared to the raw rod. According to the requirements of the characteristics of the metal powder material used for AM, the powders are sieved into three categories, P1 (15-63 ?m), P2 (63-150 ?m), and P3 (>150 ?m), respectively. The flow rates of P1, and P2 are 19.3 and 17.5 s?(50 g)-1, respectively. The surface, cross- sectional microstructure, phase structure and martensitic transformation temperature of the pre-alloyed NiTi powders with different particle sizes are investigated. The results show that powders of different particle sizes are primarily spherical or nearly spherical. The grain size of powders reduces with the decreasing of particle size. Both the bar stock and the powders of P1, P2, and P3 mainly exhibit the B2 phase. Comparing the powders P1, P2 and P3, the transformation temperature reduces with the decrease of particle size. A high density (99.55%) pre-alloyed NiTi specimen is successfully produced by selective laser melting (SLM) technology using P1 powders. The results indicate that the pre-alloyed NiTi alloy powder is appropriate for AM, which also has a good reference value for researchers producing AM powders.","PeriodicalId":51090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mining and Metallurgy Section B-Metallurgy","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86080783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to their hard texture, undesirable particle size and shape, poor assimilation performance and low reactivity at high temperature, its uses in agglomeration is very limited and restricted to almost 3-10% at most of the plant. In the present study effect of specular iron ore on sintering performance and sinter qualities are examined. It was observed that an increased proportion of specular iron ore in sinter blend has shown poor sintering performance in both laboratory scale studies and plant scale trials. In the present work, effect of blending of specular iron ore with goethite iron ore in sinter mix on sintering performance is examined and an optimum iron ore blend ratio for sustainable performance and quality is proposed. To increase the specular iron ore usage in sintering, goethitic iron ore up to 30% is introduced in sinter blend to overcome the deteriorating nature of specular iron ore. The goethite iron ore contains chemically bonded water which gets removed at higher temperatures (300-500?C) during sintering. The evaporated water gets cooled at lower bed and condenses which retards the air flow during sintering process and thus the combustion zone stays for longer time allowing better melt assimilation and sinter qualities. The poor melt assimilation of specularite is thus countered in presence of goethite iron ore. Having better reactive and hydrophilic nature of goethite iron ore, nullifying or reducing the ill effect of poor reactive and hydrophobic characteristics of specular iron ore during granulation and sintering process. Due to the which, the blended specular and goethite iron ore resulted in improved sintering rate and consequently improved sinter productivity. The present work proposed usage of up to 30% of specular iron ore when blended with goethite iron ore in sinter making.","PeriodicalId":51090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mining and Metallurgy Section B-Metallurgy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89209189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the atmospheric leaching efficiency is low and generally introduces impurities and chloride ions, which increase the cost of subsequent decontamination. Therefore, a new environmentally friendly hydrometallurgy extraction method of zinc was proposed: an atmospheric pressure medium temperature sulfuric acid curing-leaching process. In an open-air condition, zinc sulfide concentrate was cured with sulfuric acid at different acid-to-ore ratios and heated to 220?C~260?C for a different time, then leaching the cured product. The effects of temperature, curing time, acid-to-ore ratio and sulfuric acid concentration on the leaching ratio of zinc (hZn) were studied. The results demonstrated that hZncould reach as high as 98.23% under the optimized conditions of temperature 240?C, curing time 2.5 hours, acid-to-ore ratio 1.4:1 and sulfuric acid concentration 60 wt.%.

The evolution of the microstructure, including the formation and regulation of whiskers, and the effects on mechanical properties were discussed. The results showed that during the SLM process, adjusting the energy density effectively inhibited cracking in the TiB/Ti6Al4V samples. The TiB2 particles acted as nucleation centers to significantly refine the grains during processing and reacted with elemental Ti to form a needle-like TiB network at the grain boundaries, which strengthened the whiskers.

The structure of SSE processed showed that the first pass of the SSE processed sample showed large deformation by developing the elongated grain and sub-grain structure. By increasing the SSE pass number, the grain shape became equiaxed due to excessive strain. The X-ray broadening related to ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure processed SSE on the copper sample, leading to smaller crystallite size, higher microstrain, and higher dislocation density. The passive film was developed more homogeneous on the material with UFG structure appearance. However, the current density in 1 M NaCl decreased by an increment of pass number due to the dissolution of copper metal. The UFG structure has more boundaries than coarse grain structure, and these phenomena show why Cu dissolve ability influences the current density. The grain boundary behaves as the cathodic site.","PeriodicalId":51090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mining and Metallurgy Section B-Metallurgy","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78599331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extraction of valuable components, such as aluminum, from high-alumina fly ash has become a research hotspot at home and abroad. The shortcomings of traditional alumina extraction from high-alumina fly ash include long technological processes, large amounts of waste acid and alkali, and serious equipment corrosion. A novel method for alumina preparation by electrotransformation AlCl3 solution(EAS) under NH4Cl catalysis with injected CO2 has been proposed by Northeastern University. The process has advantages, such as short flow and no waste acid discharge. In this study, the influence of initial NH4Cl concentration in the cathodic chamber on solution pH, phase and morphology of electrotransformation products, phase, D(50) and D(90) of roasting products, and Al recovery rate were examined. Simultaneously, EAS was examined and compared with and without injected CO2 as well as EAS under NH4Cl catalysis with and without injected CO2. The results showed that, when the solution in the cathodic chamber was NH4Cl with CO2 injection, with electrotransformation time extension, pH increased slowly and the morphology of electrotransformation products were all rough and fluffy block structures.

Therefore, the aim of this research is to replace calcitic lime by limestone waste and KR slag in hot metal desulfurization, which are wastes from steel production. The KR slag is the waste generated by the desulfurization process in Kambara Reactor. Experimental desulfurization tests were carried out in a resistance furnace at a temperature of 1350?C, in an inert atmosphere with constant stirring of 500 rpm. Along with the tests, simulations were carried out with FactSage 7.0 software in order to obtain the phases present in each mixture at the working temperature and compare them with the practical results. It was found that the tricalcium silicate phase (3CaO?SiO2) was present in mixtures with lower desulfurization efficiency, which shows its kinetic limitation.

According to the thermodynamic analysis, the starting temperature of direct reduction reaction of fayalite is 806.79?C in the standard state. The indirect reduction reaction can not take place in the standard state. While the volume percentage of CO is higher than 86 vol.% in nonstandard state, the indirect reduction can take place in the range of experimental temperature. Meanwhile, Boudouard reaction can promote the indirect reduction process. The kinetic analysis results show that at the temperature below 1100?C, the main reduction reaction is the direct reduction between fayalite and graphite. With the temperature increasing, the fayalite reacts with CO generated from the gasification of graphite. When the reduction rate increases from 0% to 50%, the activation energy of the reaction increases to 524.41 kJ/mol. Then, the activation energy decreases with the increase of reduction rate. The carbothermal reduction of fayalite is multistep reaction. The controlling step in the initial stage is the gasification of graphite. As the reaction proceeding, the generated CO provides a good kinetics condition for the carbothermal reduction of fayalite, and the controlling step of the reaction is the nucleation and growth of the metallic iron.","PeriodicalId":51090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mining and Metallurgy Section B-Metallurgy","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79459358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
