Abstract:
There apt to be different mechanical performance in different positions of high strength heavy section H beam.In this paper the effect of V-N microalloying on section homogeneiey of mechanical properties of H beam is studied.The result shows that V-N microalloying helps to improve section homogeneity of mechanical property for H beam,especially for strength enhancement in conjonction joint of flange and web plate.The above phenomena are closely associated with different precipitation behavior in different positions of H beam.

Abstract(27) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The as-cast structure,chemical composition segregation,dendrite arm spacing and inclusions of the high strength steels microalloyed with Titanium were investigated.The results show that there is no difference between CSP slab and conventional cast slab for macrostructure.However,the macrostructure of slab is relatively finer.The dendrite arm spacing is lower than conventional cast slab too.Segregation for elements C,S,P is large and the others segregation are small in the CSP slab.The big inclusions are few in the CSP slab.The Al,Ti,Ca and S inclusions are main inclusion in the slab,and the Ti,Ca and S inclusions content are few because the element content are few.The size of Al inclusion is lower than 2.5 μm,and equality in the slab.The content of Al inclusion is about around 0.001 4%~0.002 2% and no obviously gathering in the slab.

Abstract(32) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Effects of microalloying of 0.017% niobium on the microstructure and properties of low carbon aluminum-killed steel sheet were investigated by analyzing its microstructure and properties in as hot-rolled and as annealed conditions as well as its recrystallization behavior during annealing at different coiling temperatures.The results showed that the ferrite grain of the hot-rolling band of the low carbon aluminum-killed steel tends to be nonpolygonal at low coiling temperature.However its properties is little affected by the hot-rolling coiling temperature.The ferrite grain size of the low carbon aluminum-killed steel is finer in as annealed condition than that in as hot-rolled condition,and hence its strength in as annealed condition is greater than that in as hot-rolled condition when the annealing temperature is low.On the other hand,lower coiling temperature would result in higher strength.The ferrite grain of hot band is obviously refined and hence the strength of hot band is significantly increased whereas the recrystallization annealing is prohibited after niobium microalloying.It was also found that the strength of the niobium-treated steel in as annealed condition is almost equal to that in as hot-rolled condition when the annealing temperature is low and tends to be equivalent to that of the low carbon steel annealed at lower temperature when the annealing temperature is high as a result of the coarsening of niobium precipitates and ferrite grains.

Abstract(20) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In order to strengthen combustion of pulverized coal and improve combustion capability,the effect of coal combustion capability with different blending ratio of additives has been studied by TG/DSC and orthogonal experiment,which bases on the combustion-supporting mechanism of additives.The result of TG/DSC analysis shows that CaCO3 can be selected as the main composition in mixture additives as well as MnO2 and CeO2.The result of orthogonal experiments of coal powder combustion shows that both burning velocity and combustion ratio of coal have been enhanced greatly.The burning velocity of coal with additives increased by 0.45~0.91 mg/min and the combustion ratio by 20%.Meanwhile,the optimization condition is w(CaCO3):w(MnO2):w(CeO2)=1.5:2.5:2.5,and the CaCO3 level changing has a remarkable effect on the test results.

Abstract(27) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Vanadium trioxide is prepared from reducing APV by means of fluidization.The experimental results showed that TV content of vanadium trioxide product is over 63% when reaction temperature is 700~750 ℃,reaction time is 10~15 min.By comparison with rotary kiln process,the reaction time of this method is shorter and reaction temperature is lower,TV content of the product is higher(>67%) and C content of product is lower,so it is useful to control C content of ferrovanadium.At the same time,the production efficiency of this method is higher,the consume of reductant is lower,the equipment is more secure.

RAN Hongbo
2008, 29(3): 31-34.
Abstract(22) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The physical and electrochemical properties of ion exchange membrane PE-01 and Nafion were studied in all-vanadium redox flow battery(VRB).It was shown that the ion exchange capacity(IEC) and chemical stability of Nafion membrane was better than that of PE-01 membrane.In addition,Nafion membrane with high conductivity was suitable for high charge-discharge current,but it was easier for vanadium solution to permeate through the Nafion membrane than the PE-01 membrane,leading to quicker water transport and relatively lower coulombic efficiency.Then PE-01 membrane has fewer water transport volume and lower VO2+ diffusibility than Nafion membrane.

2008, 29(3): 51-54.
Abstract(19) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Three dimensional heat transfer model is presented by finite element software ANSYS.Based on element birth and death technology,an iterative routine for slag skull melting is established to determine effect of process condition on slag skull thickness in steady state.The result shows that BF gas temperature has an obvious influence on slag skull thickness.And cooling water velocity has less effect on it.In higher gas temperature condition,the slag skull thickness is remarkably increased by decreasing the gap width.The slag skull thickness is related obviously to the measured temperature and heat load of cooling stave.The heat transfer analysis is optimized by the iterative routine for slag skull melting in this model.The slag skull thickness on BF cooling stave can be calculated by the established model in different conditions.
