This process exerts a significant influence on shaping of the workpiece due to the presence of significant transverse deformation. We propose a new method of cross-screw rolling with intrafocal axial stretching. This method is based on the creation of conditions under which the workpiece is deformed with axial tension. For this purpose, we propose to calibrate working rolls with a comb in front of the gripping zone. The assessment of the stress-strain state of the process of screw rolling carried out under the influence of intrafocal axial compression and tension was performed with the help of computer simulation by using the QForm 3D program. The assessment of the adequacy of computer modeling was carried out by comparing the deformation and energy parameters of the experimental rolling in a 14–40 mini-mill and its computer model. The discrepancy between the experimentally obtained values of the deformation and energy parameters and the values given by a computer model does not exceed 15%, which is acceptable and adequate for the analyzed conditions. At the same time, the difference between the values of ovality factor does not exceed 3%, which reflects a positive influence of the experimental calibration on reducing the transverse strains in the workpiece.</p><p>Thus, the implementation of the process of cross-screw rolling with intrafocal axial tension is a promising technological solution for decreasing transverse strains and increasing the efficiency of the process of rolling of metallic workpieces with circular cross-section.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":702,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgist","volume":"69 1","pages":"158 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145168117","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 advantages and disadvantages of the procedure of continuous upward casting as applied to copper alloys are presented. We studied ingots of two alloys, namely, Cu‑7.2%P and Cu‑8.2%P. The Cu‑7.2%P alloy proves to be the most common two-component braze alloy for high-temperature brazing of copper and copper alloys. The Cu‑7.2%P alloy is eutectic and, hence, not suitable for brazing. We studied defects of ingots in the form of concentrated central cavities with wavy surfaces. It is shown that the formation of defects of this kind is possible only for the indicated type of continuous casting when the direction of ingot drawing is opposite to the direction of gravity. The mechanism of formation of the internal wavy surface of these defects is clarified. To prevent the appearance of these defects, it is necessary to create conditions under which the process of solidification of the ingot is completed below the level of the melt in the furnace. The structures of ingots were analyzed both in the longitudinal sections and in cross sections. It is shown that the macrostructure of the ingots of Cu‑8.2%P alloy is columnar. The phenomenon of spontaneous formation of the profile lines of solidification front in metallographic sections of the ingots of Cu‑8.2%P alloy was discovered. The formation of these lines is caused by two factors: the mode of step-by-step drawing and the nature of the alloy. The mode of step-by-step drawing leads to changes in the solidification conditions of the eutectic phases in the course of motion and during the shutdown. Specific features of solidification of the eutectic phases of copper-phosphorus alloys contribute to the formation of their different morphologies in the case where the solidification conditions are modified. The results of measuring of the sizes of dendrite cells in different parts of cross section of the ingot of Cu‑8.2%P alloy enable us to make a conclusion about the similar nature of solidification of the ingot of this alloy and an ingot of Cu‑8.2%P alloy under the identical casting conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":702,"journal":{"name":"Metallurgist","volume":"69 1","pages":"100 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145166937","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}

A significant error in calculating the heat transfer of gas volumes in arcs and flames to heating surfaces using the law of thermal radiation of blackbodies, i.e., the Stefan-Boltzmann law, has been demonstrated. The laws of thermal radiation of gas volumes in electric arcs and flames in EAFs, discovered in Russia between 1996 and 2001, are presented. According to these laws, cylindrical gas volumes are inscribed within the gas volumes of arcs and flames, and in calculations, their thermal radiation is modeled with high accuracy as the thermal radiation of cylindrical axes of symmetry. Based on the discovered laws, a method for calculating heat transfer in EAFs has been developed.
