Abstract:
Nano-titanium dioxide powder that has good dispersivity and small particle size was prepared by liquid-phase hydrolysis with the materials of titanium tetrachloride and n-octanol.The factors which influence the properties of titanium dioxide were researched by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope.The results show: when the calcination temperature rises,the nano-TiO2 particles become larger,and the dispersivity is worse;the crystal phase changes from anatase phase to rutile phase at higher temperature;the calcination time affects slightly on the nano-TiO2 particle size and the crystal phase,but it affects intensely on the dispersivity of nano-TiO2;when the titanium tetrachloride concentration increases,the nano-TiO2 particle size becomes smaller,but the dispersivity becomes worse;and when the hydrolysis temperature increases,the nano-TiO2 particle size becomes larger,and the dispersivity becomes worse.

Abstract:
V5+ doped titanium-bearing blast furnace slag as a kind of antibacterial materials based on photocatalysis was prepared by high temperature solid-state method.Using escherichiacoli,staphylococcusaureus,albicans candida and bacilluscercus as experimental bacteria,effects of strains and doping amount on antibacterial capability were studied under fluorescent lamp.Surface topography and phase transformation of absent were analyzed through SEM and XRD.The result showed that the best antibacterial capability was obtained against albicans candida,and will increase with doping amount of V5+ increasing;MIC measured by agar pervasion method was 2.5%;the antibacterial capability decreased in a small range after being treated by brine and ethanol.

Abstract:
The effect of TiB2 on the tensile properties of in-situ synthesized TiB2 /Ferrous matrix composites was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and materials testing system.The results show that the TiB2 particles are uniformly distributed in the α-Fe matrix, and it demonstrates remarkable reinforcing effect on the matrix.With the increase of TiB2 addition, the tensile strength and yield strength of the composites also increase, but the elongation decline.

2009, 30(4): 16-20.
Abstract(17) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The commercial pure titanium slabs were rolled using current rolling device,microstructure and morphology at the head and end of these slabs were studied by optical microscope,and results show that microstructure and morphology of the head are similar to ones of the end,i.e.having a little retained β phase in the serrated lamella of α phase in core microstructure,the smallest equiaxed grains in the four corners' microstructure,smaller deformed α grains in the middle part microstructure of the slab surface.TEM analyses showed that a lot of dislocations and more precipitated phases and twins microstructure,but no any lath distributing structure,occur in α phase of the rolling microstructure.It is found by XRD that stronger deformation texture occurs in rolling microstructure.Both the transverse and longitudinal tensile properties of rolled slab were tested in this paper.Transverse yield strength and tensile strength of slab are stronger than those of longitudinal direction.

Abstract(22) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Hot rolled IF steel was used to study the effect of cold reduction ratio on the microstructure textures and mechanical properties of Ti-IF and Ti+Nb-IF steel after batch annealing processes.The results showed that recrystallization of the IF steels was rudimentarily finished after batch annealing,the grain shape is pancake;and the grain size diminishes as the cold reduction ratio was increased;the strain hardening exponent n value was gradually reduced.The plastic strain ratio value(r90°) of Ti+Nb-IF steel reached the maximum with the higher carbon content and cold reduction ratio of 70%,or with the lower carbon content and cold reduction ratio of 80%;the plastic strain ratio value(r90°) of Ti-IF steel reached the maximum with cold reduction ratio of 70%;however,when the cold reduction ratio was increased,the textures of IF steel was stronger,then the {223}<110>、{114}<110>and {111} textures of lower cold reduction ratio were changed to {223}<110>、{111}<110>and {114}<110> textures of higher cold reduction ratio,and the textures trend toward {111} texture.

Abstract(21) PDF(1)
Abstract:
High temperature mechanical property of oriented silicon steel with main inhibitor Cu2S produced by the thin slab casting and rolling was tested, comparing reduction of area and SEM of fracture surface in 600~1 300 ℃ and analyzing effects of C (0.020%~0.044%), Cu (0.18%~0.49%) and Mn (0.06%~0.16%) on hot ductility of oriented silicon steels.The results showed that hot ductility trough moved to lower temperature and higher ductility with the content of C, Cu and Mn increasing;hot ductility was improved because C and Mn enlarge γ phase;Cu can also enlarge γ phase, and then decrease of grain-boundary strength of the steel became lower and ductility was improved, because that S and Cu created Cu2S, and Cu2S makes fluid phase which make against hot ductility and sulfide including iron reduce, so Cu improve hot ductility.

2009, 30(4): 45-48.
Abstract(31) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The reason of cracks was studied by analyzing the surface crack of slabs and experimental research in this dissertation.Result shows: surface cracks on CCSD36 steel mainly result from the original slab cracks.It originates in mold and extends in secondary cooling zone and rolling.Oxidation layer along the cracks formed in high temperature makes cracks hard to be welded.A large amount of inclusions with high melting point and low plasticity,such as silicates,exist inside and around the cracks,the content of which is deviated from the normal state seriously,and brittle particles are formed.When they are captured by exterior and oxidation layer,the surface will break during being rolled,so the cracks extend or newly formed.

2009, 30(4): 49-54.
Abstract(26) PDF(1)
Abstract:
A new idea that the steel swirling flow in the mold is generated by adjusting the direction of jet from side holes in SEN is brought forwards, based on which a new type of multi-hole swirling flow nozzle, which is easy for machining and with simple structure, is designed.Three dimensions mathematical model is built for fluid flow and heat transfer in the round bloom continuous casting mold.The flow and temperature field are computed under traditional straight channel nozzle and the new type of swirling flow nozzle conditions.Study shows that the steel swirling flow can be formed in the mold by adjusting the direction of jet from side holes in SEN, and that the new type of swirling flow nozzle can obviously reduce the impact depth of the jet, accelerate inclusion floatation, move the heat center up, and increase the temperature on the meniscus.

Abstract(33) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In order to simulate the flow field and temperature field of molten steel in 360 mm×450 mm bloom continuous casting mold,a 3-D mathematical model was presented.On this basis,the distribution of the flow field and temperature field was analyzed.Numerical simulation results show that the flow direction of molten steel streamed from submerged entry nozzle is changed from vertical downwards to horizontal rotary in effective region of electromagnetic stirring with EMS,and main region of rotary flow is formed.Upper part of molten steel in the effective region is formed into rotary flow from downwards flow of center to upward of solidification surface,then,lower part of molten steel in the effective region is formed into rotary flow from upward part of center to downward of solidification surface.Meanwhile,because of the flow direction changed from vertical downwards to horizontal rotary,the depth of molten steel streamed from submerged entry nozzle becomes shorter,axial temperature becomes lower,radial temperature becomes higher,temperature gradient at solidification surface becomes bigger,and heat transfer becomes more rapidly,which will promote the homogeneous growth of solidifying shell

2009, 30(4): 72-75.
Abstract(15) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Hard-line steel has higher carbon content,lower sulfur and phosphorus content,so its producing process is quite strict.The off-grade steels often occur because its carbon or phosphorus content was out of grade.On the base of thermodynamics and kinetics analysis of dephosphorization,the main factors of influencing dephosphorization were expounded in this paper.The key point of fast dephosphorization is extending the working time in lower temperature zone and creating the slag of good liquidity,high alkalinity and having a certain degree of oxidizability.So the converting hit rate of carbon,phosphorus and temperature could be obtained.
