Abstract:
Using low concentration industrial titanyl sulphate solution as raw material,anatase titania white pigment was prepared via the sulphate process of hydrolyzing,washing,salt treatment and calcination.And the effects of calcinations holding time at the highest temperature on structure and pigment properties were investigated.The as-prepared calcined samples were characterized by XRD,particle size distribution test,SEM and pigment properties test.Calcinations conditions had great influence on the crystal structure,grain size,particle size and its distribution,as well as pigment properties of the anatase white pigment.The average particle size of all the samples maintained about 300 nm,and crystal growth was consistent with first order kinetics of growth model.Keeping temperature at 930 ℃ for 30 min was the optimized calcination condition,and the prepared titanium white pigment was with regular morphology,the narrowest particle size distribution.The achromic ability index of the sample under optimized calcination condition was of 1 450,and relative whiteness index of 100.23%,higher than standard sample PTA120.

Abstract(17) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Following ironmaking process in BF,a great deal of titanium is brought from iron conentrate into slag.In order to recycle the titanium in water-quenched Ti-bearing blast furnace slag,hydrochloric acid is used in the leaching process.Possible influencing factors on leaching rate are investigated.The result indicates that a large amount of Ca,Mg,Al and Ti dissolves in hydrochloric acid solution in leaching process.Among the potential influencing factors investigated in experiments,raw materials size has no influence on Ti leaching rate,while hydrochloric acid concentration,reaction time,reaction temperature and ratio of liquid over solid have a pronounced impact on it.The optimum leaching conditions are thus obtained as follows: concentration of hydrochloric acid of 30% above,residence time for 120 min,ratio of liquid over solid of 7.5 above,and temperature at 90 ℃.Under the optimum leaching conditions,the leaching rate of titanium can reach 90% above.

Abstract:
In view of too high soluble vanadium in the residue during continuous leaching and filtration of vanadium-bearing clinker using the belt filter in a vanadium plant,simulation and optimization experiments were carried out in laboratory to probe into the effects of particle size of clinker,residue washing times,washing water volume and clinker soaking time on soluble vanadium content in the residue.The results show that soluble vanadium can be lowered below 0.12% with the washing liquid to solid ratio no less than 0.65∶1,residue washing times no less than 3 and soaking period more than 25 min.It can be found from experimental results that the vanadium recovery rates are obviously improved compared with previous production（soluble vanadium percentage of 0.184%～0.324%）.

2012, 33(5): 14-18.

Abstract(23) PDF(2)

Abstract:
FeV50 alloys with different Al contents were smelted and cooled to room temperature in the furnace,then their phases and microstructures were investigated by X-ray diffraction（XRD）and scanning electron microscope（SEM）respectively.The results showed that with the increase of Al content in FeV50,the phase transformation from σ phase to α phase was found.The 0.8% Al content was so critical that when it was below 0.8%,FeV50 was in form of σ phase,but when above 0.8%,two phases coexisted until a single α phase was obtained.It is supposed that Al affects the phase transformation in two ways.First,critical nucleus size becomes larger with the increase of Al which results in less energy available as driving force for α→σ phase transformation in the system.Second,the higher Al content,the stronger its inhibitory effect on the Fe atom diffusion,and as a result allotropic transformation of Fe is prevented,thus,α→σ phase transformation is retarded.

Abstract(16) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Fe-based composite layer with Ti（C_yN_1-y） particles was prepared on the surface of cast steel by laser cladding process using transverse CO₂ laser beam as inducing heat source.The microstructures and strengthening mechanism of laser clad layer were analyzed by means of optical microscopy（OM）,X-ray diffraction（XRD） instrument,scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）.The microhardness of the layer was measured by using microhardness meter.The results show that the surface quality of laser clad layer which is composed of bonding metal matrix and second phase particle Ti（C_yN_1-y） homogeneously dispersed is fairly good.The newly formed particles Ti（C_0.3N_0.7）and Ti（C_0.2N_0.8）come into being by some new chemical combination reactions,and most of Ti（C_yN_1-y） particles are irregular.The microhardness of laser clad layer distributes within HV_0.2 800～900.Microanalysis of the clad layer shows that the strengthening mechanism of the layer includes fine grain strengthening,dispersing strengthening of hard particles and solid solution strengthening.

Abstract(22) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Course and characteristics of sticking leakage of molten steel in mold was introduced and appearance feature of tear position in sticking shell was unveiled in this paper.Expansion pattern of tear lines caused by sticking and characteristics of temperature transmission in the process of sticking were analyzed by geometric method.In order to improve the accuracy of prediction,horizontal and vertical temperature transmitting behavior should be detected simultaneously,and thus the thermocouple should be laid according to the rule of the equivalence of horizontal and vertical temperature transmitting time.In addition,several typical temperature changing patterns were studied and two atypical temperature patterns of sticking leakage were added,which can provide reference and basis for correct dynamic recognition of sticking leakage and surface defects of shells.Thus,a foundation has been laid for the development of advanced leakage prediction system based on temperature measurement with thermocouple.

Abstract(17) PDF(1)

Abstract:

2012, 33(5): 50-54.

Abstract(23) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The themodynamic analysis on titanium nitride’s formation was carried out in order to control its precipitation in the tested steel.The results show that no TiN inclusions can be found in molten steel at temperature above liquidus;during solidification of molten steel,thanks to the enrichment of Ti and N in the two-phase region,the formation reaction of TiN proceeds.So the best way to reduce precipitation of TiN in practical production is to control Ti and N contents in steel,and quicken the molten steel through two-phase region（1 728～1 787 K） by increasing secondary cooling rate during continuous casting.Calculation suggests that the value should be controlled below 7.04×10^-5 to ensure no precipitation of TiN inclusion in the tested steel during solidification process.

2012, 33(5): 66-69.

Abstract(14) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Precipitation behavior and texture formation of the two interstitial-free steels with Nb and without Nb addition during cold rolling-batch annealing process were investigated by using metallographic microscope,scanning electron microscope（SEM）,transmission electron microscope（TEM） and X-ray diffraction（XRD） instrument.The results show that Nb does not significantly improve the recrystallization texture;however,it promotes the formation of TiN,TiC and TiS and increases the number and size of TiN precipitate by increasing the effective solid solubility of Ti in the matrix;as a good grain refiner,Nb inhibits grain growth during coiling and recrystallization annealing;the addition of Nb tends to coarsen the carbonitride precipitates and reduce the volume fraction of the {111}＜110＞ texture component in the γ fiber.

Abstract(18) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Cracks have been found during deep processing of the HP295 supplied by a hot rolling plant of an iron ＆ steel company.In order to solve this problem,based on analysis of mechanical properties and microstructure of HP295,chemical compositions and rolling processes are optimized by lowering the content of C,Mn and P,reducing the anisotropy of the strip,and applying final rolling temperature of 850～890 ℃,two-stage cooling,coiling temperature of 630～670 ℃,which may be adjusted a little with seasons.Thus,higher proportion of finer and more uniform ferrite and more dispersive pearlite with lower yield ratio are obtained.As a result,the average cracking rate of HP295 is decreased from about 1% to 0.3%.

Abstract:
The liquid/solid erosion wear tests were conducted for 3Cr13 steel which had been tempered at different temperatures on the self-made jet-type erosion wear tester.The effects of microstructure on erosion behavior of 3Cr13 steel were investigated,and erosion mechanisms were also discussed.Results showed that for all the three tempered microstructures of 3Cr13 steel,maximum erosion rates were found at 45 degree angle of attack.The erosion resistance of specimens tempered at 200 ℃ and 500 ℃ exhibited no obvious difference,showing better erosion resistance than the specimen tempered at 750 ℃ which reached stable erosion stage earlier.The main erosion mechanism was characterized by micro-cutting at low angle of attack and by brittle spalling and fatigue damage at high angle of attack.

2012, 33(5): 89-95.

Abstract(23) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The mechanism of recrystallized texture evolution of non-oriented silicon steel during grain growth has been studied by using EBSD technology.The results show that texture evolution during recrystallized grain growth originates from different growth rates of texture components;grain size is not the only determinant for the grain growth,and the misorientation angle distribution of the grain and other surrounding grains has obvious influence on its growth.Thanks to grain competition between {111} ＜112＞ and {111} ＜110＞,sharpness of {111} texture’s orientation changes alternately.As the annealing time increases at 950 ℃,the {100} ＜120＞ texture and {100} ＜310＞ texture are weakened while {110} ＜001＞ is enhanced;As the annealing temperature increases with a constant annealing time for 3.5 min,all of the {110} ＜001＞,{100} ＜120＞,and {100} ＜310＞ textures are enhanced.Temperature has a great impact on misorientation angle distribution of grains with different orientations.

2012, 33(5): 96-100.

Abstract(16) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Comparative research on mechanical properties（including tensile strength,yield strength,elongation and residual stress） and the microstructure of AH32 uncoiled and leveled plates produced with new process and conventional AH32 medium plates in the thickness range of mm, mm, mm, mm was carried out.The test results show that both of the tensile strength and yield strength of AH32 uncoiled and leveled plates at the transverse direction are higher than those at longitudinal direction while its elongation is better at longitudinal direction;both of the tensile strength and yield strength of AH32 medium plate are similar at the two directions while its elongation is a little better at longitudinal direction.It can be concluded that the mechanical properties of AH32 uncoiled and leveled plate are better than those of the medium plate in the same size range.The difference in mechanical properties between longitudinal and transverse directions may be attributed to the different deformation of the plates in the two directions.

2012, 33(5): 101-106.

Abstract(20) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Dry sliding wear tests were performed for 3Cr3Mo2V cast steel and 3Cr13 steel at 25 ℃ and 200 ℃ on a pin-on-disk wear tester.The effect of microstructures and tribo-oxides on the wear behavior of 3Cr3Mo2V cast steel and 3Cr13 steel was probed into and the wear mechanism was also discussed.The results show that tribo-oxides exert a significant influence on wear behavior and mechanism,and the wear reducing effect of tribo-oxides depends on their amount and substrate state that is closely related with the compositions and microstructures of the steel.High Cr content impedes the formation of tribo-oxides and tempered sorbite with low hardness accelerates the stripping of tribo-oxides,thus,the wear reducing effect of tribo-oxides is destroyed or reduced.
