Abstract(14) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The phase equilibrium diagram of Fe-Ti-C-O2-Cl2 system is studied for the preparation of synthetic rutile by selective chlorination of ilmenite. The changes of free energy are calculated in the reactions between O2 and certain chlorides. By means of a process-"oxygen-induction one-step selective chlorinatio", the key technical problem is solved which requires a continuous process for "self-heating" chlorination. The technical parameters have been verified by lab-test, pilot test and industrial-scale test. The study has proved that the dynamic model of the selective chlorination process is a "shrinking core reaction model in which the solids' particle size is kept unchanged", with the activation energy in the dynamic zone being 34.33 kJ/mol and that in the diffusion zone 0.8 kJ/mol. The fluidized bed chlorinator without perforated-plate developed in this process can stably and continuously operate in a long period of time. The process and the relevant equipment have been successfully applied in the industrial production, with the grade of resultant synthetic rutile being 92.1%, and even up to 95% through the additional table concentration and magnetic separation. The reactor's capacity can reach 12.4 t/m2·d.

Abstract:
The isothermal transformation curve and continuous cooling curve of U71Mn 75 kg/m heavy rail steel were measured. According to the results of isothermal transformation and continuous cooling transformation, the optimal eutectoid structure in the heavy rail steel could form when the cooling velocity was controlled between 2℃/s and 8℃/s. The comparison tests of U71Mn 75 kg/m steel and U74 60 kg/m steel show that the load capacity of the former is 1.3 times larger than that of the later while the practical fatigue strength is approximate, and the impact toughness of the former is better than that of the later with the same impact force.

Abstract(17) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The factors that affect the conductibility of green compact were analyzed. In order to study the effects of composition on conductibility, the compacts with 0%Ti, 20%Ti, 32%Ti, 44%Ti, 56%Ti were made up. The blocks were vacuum-sintered at 1 250℃ for studying the difference of conductibility of compacts after sintering. The result shows that the conductibility of green compact goes down with the increase of compact porosity and Ti content. At mean time, the change of compact in conductibility and sizes after sintering at 1 250℃ could be explained by Kirkendall effect.

2003, 24(1): 66-70.
Abstract(14) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In order to decrease the product cost, a newly high strength bainitic steel have been developed. This steel is a plain carbon structural steel, its advantage is using cheap V, Mn, Cr instead of expensive Ni, Mo, B and other elements for alloying. The heat treatment of steel is not needed, so the production process is simply. The heating and rolling schedule are similar with other steels, but adopting controlled rolling and air cooling increase the strength and toughness. The tensile strength of experimental steel plates is higher than 860 MPa, and the impact toughness is improved with the decreasing of end rolling temperature.
