Modifying the selective laser melting process parameters, specifically increasing the relative energy density from 49 to 97 J/mm<sup>3</sup>, results in the evolution of the porosity character of the samples after selective laser fusion. This transition is observed from porosity associated with the lack-of-fusion to the gas porosity inherited from the pores in the powder and gas entrapment during melting. The metastable β‑solid solution that is fixed in the O‑alloy during selective laser melting undergoes decomposition in two temperature ranges, 300–600 °C and 650–800 °C, when heated at a rate of 50 °C per minute up to 900 °C. An increase in the heat treatment temperature from 750 to 900 °C of the as-built O‑alloy results in a reduction in the volume fraction and an expansion in the thickness of the O‑platelets precipitated during the decomposition of the β‑solid solution.

In the transition from the conditions of rolling a narrow model sample to the actual conditions of rolling a wide strip with tension, it is essential to consider the correction of the crushing coefficient of recrystallized austenite grains in accordance with the stress-strain state of the metal. To limit the growth of austenite grains subsequent to the initial compression in the continuous finishing train of the mill, instead of the initial two four-roll stands, it is proposed that a novel technical solution be implemented: a double-four sheet-rolling stand.

On the one hand, it improves the mixing of natural gas with blast air and its combustion, and on the other hand, it reduces thermal stresses in the insert. The Ansys platform was used to perform mathematical simulation of gas dynamics, heat transfer, and combustion processes related to natural gas being supplied into the blast channel of a blast furnace tuyere through a series of holes in the flange. It has been shown that by supplying natural gas into the blast channel through the flange holes, it becomes possible to improve its combustion efficiency in the tuyere, leading to an increase in temperature and wind rate compared to the traditional method of supplying natural gas into the blast channel through a single tube via an inner sleeve. By using a model of the flange, containing only a manifold with a tube for supplying natural gas and its discharge through the holes, it was established that in order to minimize the non-uniformity in the natural gas supply distribution between the holes, the gas supply tube should be installed symmetrically relative to the manifold plugs, which in reality are formed by the tuyere cooling water supply and discharge tubes. It has been found that supplying natural gas through the flange holes leads to a decrease in thermal stresses in the insert by about 2 times compared to the traditional natural gas supply, which helps increase the durability of the insert. In this case, the resulting non-uniformity of supplying natural gas through the flange holes into the blast channel does not lead to a significant change in insert stresses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":702,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgist","volume":"68 8","pages":"1193 - 1203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108688","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 most rational methods for briquetting titanium alloy shavings are determined, ensuring the most efficient processing of the compacted material and the maximum density of the formed briquettes. Hydrogen plasticization of titanium shavings not only promotes more intense compaction of the porous briquette material but also promotes the formation of additional sites of solid-phase bonding in the presence of compressive stresses and shear deformations.
