Abstract(37) PDF(3)

Abstract:
The effect of aluminum sulfate as salt treatment agent on the properties of titanium dioxide initial products,mainly including the rutile conversion rate,achromatic energy,whiteness and particle morphology,was studied. The results show that aluminum sulfate is inhibitor of rutile transformation and has almost no effect on achromatic energy of titanium dioxide initial products with content of 0.08%~0.28%. The whiteness value of titanium dioxide initial products increases with increasing aluminum salt content in the range of 0.05%~0.10%,while it continuously decreases with increasing aluminum salt content in the range of 0.10%~0.50%. It is also found that addition of aluminum sulfate favors the growth of tetragonal system particles for titanium dioxide.

2015, 36(2): 24-27,32. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2015.02.005

Abstract(17) PDF(2)

Abstract:
TiO₂/MCM-41 photocatalysts with different titania content were prepared by loading titania onto the mesopores of MCM-41 molecular sieves via a sol- gel method. The photocatalytic activities of TiO₂/MCM-41 photocatalysts were evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B aqueous solution.TiO₂/MCM-41 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）,UV- Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and N₂ adsorption techniques. The results indicate that both the BET surface area and pore volume of TiO₂/MCM-41 photocatalyst decrease with the increase in content of loaded titania. The average crystal size of titania loaded on TiO₂/MCM-41 is smaller than that of pure titania nanoparticles. 20% TiO₂/MCM-41 photocatalyst has the highest photo- induced charge separation efficiency. Among all the photocatalysts,the 20% TiO₂/MCM-41 sample possesses the best photocatalytic activity. The h⁺ is main active species during the photocatalytic process. The photocatalytic activities of the TiO₂/MCM-41 photocatalyst depend on their adsorption abilities and the activity of titania loaded onto the MCM-41 molecular sieves.

2015, 36(2): 28-32. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2015.02.006

Abstract(39) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The effect of cooling process after deformation on V micro-alloyed and V-free rebar was studied. The thermal simulation experiments were carried out with different cooling processes after deformation. The transmission electron microscopy and energy spectrometer were employed to observe and analyze precipitation of the tested steels. The results show that air cooling after high temperature deformation benefits the fine VC precipitation for rebar containing V,providing a better precipitation strengthening effect.For V-free rebar,holding for 30 min at 650 ℃ after high temperature deformation is beneficial to the precipitation of nanoscale cementite. The study provides a theoretical basis for the establishment of cooling process after rolling in rebar production.

Abstract(25) PDF(2)

Abstract:
The elastic limit and 0.2% yield strength of nonlinear elastic materials were confirmed by cyclic loading-unloading tensile tests. The mechanical parameters of Ti- 23Nb- 0.7Ta- 2Zr- 1O,Ti-23Nb- 0.7Ta- 2Zr- 1.2O,Ti- 23Nb- 0.7Ta- 2Zr- 0.7O and Ti- 25Nb- 0.7Ta- 2Zr- 1.2O alloys were obtained by using this method. It is found that the elastic limit,yield strength and tensile strength of the alloys increase with the increase in contents of the additional elements. The elastic modulus of the alloys also increases with the plasticity deteriorating as the contents of the additional elements increase. The ratio of deformation has a significant effect on the improvement of elastic limit while slightly affects the yield strength and tensile strength of the alloys. The increase in the contents of elements and the ratio of deformation makes the tensile curve straight.

2015, 36(2): 39-48. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2015.02.008

Abstract(36) PDF(1)

Abstract:
High and low cycle fatigue performance of micro-alloyed and TMT rebars are compared through experimental investigation. Micro-alloyed rebar shows better fatigue performance than TMT rebar. It is experimentally observed in both micro-alloyed and TMT rebars that for high and low cycle fatigue,crack initiates form the transverse rib root and propagate along the same region. From finite element simulation,it is noticed that the stress concentration takes place at the root of the transverse rib and stress triaxiality becomes higher in the same region. At the transverse rib root,tensile strain accumulation is noticed in simulation. The experimental observation is explained with the help of simulation result that fatigue crack initiate and propagate along the transverse rib root.

Abstract:

Vanadium and vanadium compounds,of which about 95% are applied to steel and alloy smelting and about 5% are used in chemical engineering and other industries,are more widely used in nonsteel fields with the development of technologies. The preparation methods and research progress of vanadium materials including vanadium catalyst,vanadium battery materials and vanadium pigments were discussed emphatically,and the applications of vanadium in nanotechnology and bio-medicine technique were summarized. The main problems in the related fields were analyzed systematically,of which high cost and weak theory research are the restrictive factors for large-scale industrialization of the vanadium materials. High-performance and low-cost vanadium materials can be prepared by combining the traditional technologies with the nanotechnology and bio-medicine technique. With the evolution of advanced techniques of characterization and the perfection of basic theories in physics and chemistry,the application prospects of vanadium in non-steel fields will be vaster.

2015, 36(2): 63-67. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2015.02.011

Abstract(11) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The reaction mechanism and track of vanadium were analyzed by theoretical calculation and sample detection during titanium extraction from blast furnace slag in Pangang by processes of high temperature carburization and low temperature chlorination. The results show that vanadium enters into the carbonization slag in the form of V₂O₃ during high temperature carburization of the blast furnace slag,then V₂O₃ reacts with chlorine in the process of low temperature chlorination and the product VOCl₃ enters into coarse TiCl₄. VOCl₃ transforms into solid VOCl₂ and stays in the residue through refining process. V₂O₅ satisfying the GB3283-1987 standard can be prepared by undergoing processes of calcination of the residue,salt roasting,leaching,and etc. Preliminary measurement indicates that about 50 tons of V₂O₅ can be recycled in producing every 10 000 tons of coarse TiCl₄.

2015, 36(2): 68-72,83. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2015.02.012

Abstract(16) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The influences of iron tailings,basicity,contents of MgO and Al₂O₃ on the viscosity and melting temperature of the blast furnace slag were investigated in adjustment of the slag for preparation of slag wool. The results show that with increase in content of added iron tailing the characteristics of blast furnace slag transforms from short to long feature and the viscosity of the slag changes smoothly. When the addition amount of iron tailings is more than 20%,the viscosity and melting temperature of the slag increase and it is not suitable for direct preparation of slag wool. During the adjusting process for the blast furnace slag with chemical reagent,increasing basicity leads to the further transformation to short feature of slag characteristics and increase in melting temperature which is not benefit for fluidity of the slag.With increase in the content of MgO,both the viscosity and melting temperature of the blast furnace slag firstly decrease and then increase. A better fluidity of the slag can be reached with 8%~10% MgO. Because the content of Al₂O₃ in the slag is relatively small,the viscosity and melting temperature of blast furnace slag change slightly with Al₂O₃ content,which has little influence on the fluidity of the slag.

Abstract(14) PDF(1)

Abstract:
According to Xuan steel’s blast furnace conditions,a RTW melt properties analyzer was used to to measure slag viscosity and then to research the effect of different basicity,MgO and Al₂O₃ content on flow properties of high titanium-bearing slag of blast furnace. The results show that the slags with 4 different levels of basicity feature short slag viscosity η-T curve. With increasing slag basicity,short η-T curve feature enhanced. At the same temperature the viscosity of the slag decreases as basicity increases. MgO in a certain range is able to play the role in reducing slag viscosity,but when the MgO content exceeds 11%,the slag viscosity increases with increase of MgO content. Al₂O₃ contenthas little effect on flow properties.Theslag temperature should maintain at above 1 400 ℃,and slag is feasible with higher Al₂O₃ content.

Abstract(10) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Based on the high temperature optical microscope,in-situ observation on precipitation of nonmetallic inclusion in non-oriented silicon steel with different manganese concentration had been carried out.The observation showed that the numbers of non-metallic inclusions was 1 000 × 10⁴/mm³ and 1 600 × 10⁴/mm³ when the manganese concentration was 0.77% and 0.32%, respectively. The precipitation temperature range of non-metallic inclusions was from 1 115 ℃ to 1 098 ℃ and from 1 068 ℃ to 1 032 ℃ for 0.77% manganese concentration,and was from 1 086 ℃ to 1 068 ℃ for 0.32% manganese concentration.For the 0.77% manganese concentration the spherical and elliposidal MnS will precipitate first,with small quantity and large size,can retard the precipitation of AlN and Cu_xS effectively; on the other hand,MnS will precipitate first and can be adopted as the core of AlN,and form the composition of MnS and AlN during the reheating and cooling processes,which is more and larger for 0.32% manganese concentration.

Abstract(9) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The wH₂/w_CO ratio on the influence of reduction rate of Baiyun obo iron concentrate pellets was studied by homoiothermy thermogravimetric analysis （TG） method in order to solve the low utilization rate of gas and insufficient supply of heat problems in gas- solid direct reduction process.. The results showed that the reduction rate increases with increasing wH₂/w_CO ratio in 40 minutes after reduction test,and then reduce Fe₂O₃→Fe₃O₄ reaction time. Based on the gas phase diffusion and interface reaction of pellets reduction rate equations the calculated relationship of reaction rate constant and wH₂/w_CO are: k_interface=- 0.197 5 + 0.357 5wH₂/w_CO,k_spread= 0.171 01 + 0.269 7 wH₂/w_CO respectively. The activation energy of the interface reaction and the gas phase diffusion calculated by Arrhenius equation are respectively 26 kJ /mol and 44 kJ /mol,and this indicates that gas diffusion control is a restrictive link under this study condition.

Abstract(10) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The eccentric argon stirring in stainless steel production has been studied by using geometric similarity 1:3 water model and plug model which has the same porosity to plug used in production. The mixing time,velocity of liquid steel surface and open-eye are optimized. Experiment results show that when argon stirring rate exceeds 103.1 L/h （2.1m³/h in production） the mixing time ratio （the minimum mixing time divided by mixing time at a certain flow rate） will be more than 50%. The velocity of liquid steel surface shows that storage area edge （open-eye edge） is prone to entrap slag. The diameter of open-eye is affected by ladle wall where the closer distance from porous plug to ladled wall causes the smaller diameter of open-eye. Soft blowing with plug located at 1/2R and 2/3R will ensure the open-eye ratio less than 12.4% and 10.5% respectively. The optimized flow field can prevent argon stirring process from reoxidation effectively.
