Abstract:
The high grade synthetic rutile was prepared from Panzhihua ilmenite by preoxidation—fore-magnetic separation—acid leaching—filtration and lavation—calcination—after-magnetic separation.The influence of process parameters,such as ore property,leaching time,leaching temperature,hydrochloric acid concentration and the ratio of hydrochloric to ore on the acid leaching results were discussed under a manufacturing equipment of 1 000 t/a.Through the optimized testing and stability experiment,the thinning rate of product was controlled blow 15%,the recovery rate of titanium in total process was beyond 92% and the TiO2 content of thick synthetic rutile was beyond 92%.The thin synthetic rutile was successfully separated from thick synthetic rutile.

Abstract:
Titanium tetrachloride was produced in industrial experimental scale by the fluid-bed chlorinating process with the mixture of Panzhihua synthetic rutile (w(TiO2)=91.04%,w(CaO+MgO)=0.94%) and high titanium slag (w(TiO2)=88.05%,w(CaO+MgO)=1.85%),in which the ratio of high-grade titanium slag Panzhihua synthetic rutile was 50∶50~0∶100 in weight.The major equipment was the f800 mm fluid-bed reactor in Zunyi Titanium Co.,Ltd.The results show that the fluidizing behavior is good,the deslagging is smooth,the chlorination ratio of TiO2 is up to 95%,and the quality of the titanium tetrachloride product measures up.

Zhang Dianwei, Guo Peimin, Zhao Pei
2006, 27(2): 26-32,47.
Abstract(18) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The leading smelting reduction and direct reduction processes were reviewed.The COREX,FINEX and HISMELT processes could eliminate the pollution from coking plant due to coke-needless operation.The industrialized COREX process is owing to the mature technology of shaft furnace gas-based direct reduction.The industrialization of FINEX and HISMELT is more difficult than that of COREX,considering the powder sticking in the fluidized bed and the conflict between secondary combustion and the lining corrosion in the iron bath furnace.The gas-based direct reduction(MIDREX,HYL-III,FINMET,et al) couldn't develop well in China because of the shortage of natural gas.The rotary hearth furnace(RHF) can use the low strength composite pellets.However,high power consumption,low productivity and low quality of the production are its disadvantages.A promising technology of ironmaking with fast reduction speed at low temperature was introduced,which has the advantages of low power consumption,environment-friendly,high productivity,low reduction temperature.

2006, 27(2): 33-37.
Abstract(16) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Water model test was taken to install proper flow control devices for a near T type four-strand bloom casting tundish.Two schemes,"V type baffles + dams" and "turbo stopper + dams",were optimized by orthogonal experiments under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions.The results show there are short circuit flow and large dead volume in the tundish without control devices."V type baffles + dams" case 1 can obviously improve the flow field,which makes dead volume decrease,plug volume increase and temperature distribution uniform."Turbo stopper + dams" can improve the flow field to a certain extent,but short circuit flow and large dead region still exist and flow field and temperature distribution are quite asymmetric.

Abstract(25) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In order to improve the billet quality by optimizing fluid flow,uniforming the molten steel temperature of each nozzle and prolonging the average residence time of near nozzles,the unsymmetrical configuration tundish in works and two optimal designs were studied by means of numerical simulation.The fluid flow,heat transfer and residence time in the tundish were calculated.The results show that fluid flow and temperature distribution were unsuitable in the original tundish without flow control devices.The fluid flow and temperature distribution were optimized in the tundish with optimal configuration.The optimum configuration was settled by the calculation results.

2006, 27(2): 48-51.
Abstract(25) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The effect of desulfurizing,purifying and modifying inclusion at ladle furnace for pipeline steel was investigated.The results show the average desulfurization percentage was 55%,the removal percentage of total oxygen and micro inclusion were 43.3% and 44.4% respectively.The effects of desulfurizing and purifying were satisfactory.After the addition of calcium silicon alloy,the cluster alumina were modified into spherical calcium aluminate with low melting point,at the same time,the liner MnS inclusion were eliminated,and so improve the resistance against hydrogen induced cracking(HIC).When the addition of calcium-silicon wire was 0.7 kg/t,the inclusion modification was insufficient,so the addition should be increased appropriately.

Li Dadong
2006, 27(2): 63-68.
Abstract(26) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Using optical microscope and SEM metallographic techniques to inspect cracking fractures of U75V rail flash welding joint,it was found there was a lot of high-carbon martensite in center areas of rail head and base,the microstructure was normal in other areas.For the rail flash welding process,it is made sure when the surface temperature of joint drop down to 400 ℃,the temperature of center areas of rail head and base is still higher than transformation temperature,so the martensite is changed by forced water cooling after normalizing heat treatment,this change causes the rupture.This rupture could be refrained from altering the water cooling site rearward.
