Abstract:
The structure-activity relationship of organic amine extractants and their mechanism of solvent extraction of vanadium were analyzed.The results show that,organic amines,characterized by anion exchange and N atom as extraction functional group,belong to the alkaline extractants.Primary and tertiary amines are usually protonated in an acidic solution system to form the ammonium salts,while the quaternary ammonium salt does not require protonation.Primary amine,commonly used to extract vanadium from leaching solution of vanadium-chromium slag,can form a complex with hydrogen bonds to selectively extract vanadium preferentially,and the optimal extraction pH with a primary amine is generally less than 4.Tertiary amine can form an association with the vanadium-containing anion to extract vanadium,and the better extraction performance can be achieved at lower pH values.Especially,it shows excellent properties for extracting vanadium from leaching solution with high content of iron.However,tertiary amine also has disadvantages of small saturation capacity,large consumption and being liable to produce the third phase.The quaternary ammonium salt,the strong alkaline,can extract vanadium by ion exchange between vanadium anion and Cl^-,but quaternary ammonium salt has some disadvantages such as low saturation capacity and long phase separation time.The research progress of solvent extraction of vanadium by organic amine extractants was reviewed.Meanwhile,the future research directions including exploring of optimum extraction pH value,improving the performance of modifier,synergistic extraction with other extractants,optimizing the process before solvent extraction,strengthening mechanism research on solvent extraction of vanadium by amines,and developing new types of efficient and adaptable amine extractants,were proposed.

Abstract(18) PDF(2)

Abstract:
Direct acid leaching of vanadium-containing steel slag with new sulfuric acid and titanium white waste acid was carried out.The compositions and structure of the vanadium-containing steel slag were analyzed firstly.The results show that the vanadium-containing steel slag is mainly composed of Ca₂SiO₄,（MgO）_0.593（FeO）_0.407,Ca₃Fe₂（SiO₄）₃,Ca₃（V,Ti）₂O₇.Vanadium is dispersed in a variety of minerals in vanadium-containing steel slag.Relatively dense and large particle of vanadium titanium calcium oxide（Ca₃（V,Ti）₂O₇） is the main vanadium-enriched phase.It is hard to damage the structure of Ca₃（V,Ti）₂O₇ by direct acid leaching.To improve the leaching rate of vanadium,ball milling of the vanadium-containing steel slag is required.A lower content of vanadium is dispersed in dicalcium silicate,while V in the phase can be easily leached directly by the acid.79% of V is extracted by new acid direct leaching at optimum conditions of 200 r/min of stirring speed,30% of sulfuric acid concentration,65% of particles smaller than 124 μm,7∶1 of liquid-solid ratio and 1 h of leaching time.At the same conditions mentioned above,74% of V can be leached at 5∶1 of liquid-solid ratio using titanium white waste acid.Due to the high content of CaO and FeO,new sulfuric acid leaching of the slag will lead to a high cost.Titanium dioxide waste acid is a waste and cannot be directly discharged.Neutralizing the titanium white waste acid by vanadium-containing steel slag can greatly reduce the consumption of calcium carbonate for treating the waste acid.Simultaneously,vanadium can be extracted from the slag,realizing the high value utilization of the vanadium-containing steel slag.

Abstract(21) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Based on the sub-molten salt process that vanadium and chromium in vanadium slag can be efficiently and selectivity converted into soluble salts at low temperatures,the main phase evolutions,occurrence and change laws of vanadium and chromium elements,and micro zone conversion rate of vanadium and chromium for vanadium-chromium slag before and after the sub molten salt reactions were studied.The results show that the vanadium-chromium spinel with lattice defects on the surface is more favorable for the lattice substitution of O^2- than the dense vanadium-chromium spinel,and the decomposition of vanadium-chromium spinel with the defects is accelerated.The recovery rate of Cr element before and after the sub-molten salt reactions is 99.63%,while the recovery rate of V element is 90.01%.The micro zone conversion rate of the main vanadium phases proves that the increase of vanadium content in Fe₂O₃ after the reactions of sub-molten salt is the main reason for the decrease of V recovery rate.

Abstract(11) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The influences of hot rolling deformation temperature and single pass reduction rate on the microstructure evolution and recrystallization of EB furnace slab during hot rolling were studied by hot rolling experiments and microstructure observation.It is found that the grain size of EB furnace slab is hundreds of times larger than that of VAR forging slab after heating the slab before hot rolling,and the coarse grain structure of EB furnace slab is not conducive to recrystallization during hot rolling.By increasing the rolling temperature（≥ 850 ℃）,reducing the single pass reduction and decreasing the hot rolling deformation speed,the hot rolling structure can be fully recrystallized.The high-temperature start rolling,high-temperature finishing rolling and high-temperature coiling of thin slab were discussed to obtain a large proportion of recrystallization structure of the hot rolling coil,so that the traditional annealing recrystallization process of hot rolling plate can be omitted.It is found that when the hot rolling temperature is 850 ℃,there is a critical reduction rate（43.6%） for refining recrystallized grains.When the reduction rate is lower than 43.6%,increasing the reduction rate can significantly refine recrystallized grains in the hot rolling coil,which exceeds the critical reduction rate,and the recrystallized grain size in the hot rolling coil almost remains unchanged.When the hot rolling temperature is lower than 810 ℃,there is a critical reduction rate to start recrystallization nucleation.With the decrease of the hot rolling temperature,the critical reduction rate increases gradually.

Abstract(19) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Herein,nano α-Fe₂O₃ was synthesized through microwave assisted hydrolysis method with FeCl₃ as raw material,triethylenetetramine（TETA） as ligand.The properties of the nano α-Fe₂O₃ products were analyzed and compared through laser particle size analyzer,FT-IR,and UV-Vis spectra.Microwave assisted hydrolysis method has advantages in yielding smaller and uniform nano particles in shorter time and without aging time.In the latter method,microwave heating time of 14 min and n_TETA∶n_FeCl₃=40∶100 are the best conditions,under which smaller and uniform nano α-Fe₂O₃ particles can be achieved.In the FT-IR spectra of nano α-Fe₂O₃,two characteristic absorption peaks at ca.580 and 480 cm^-1 red-shift with the particle size decreasing.Because of quantum size effect,blue shifting in the characteristic absorption peaks at ca.480 nm and ranging 330～350 nm in UV-Vis spectra depend on the decrease of the particle size.

Abstract:
By adjusting the slag system of 12 Mn steel refining and optimizing the CaO/Al₂O₃ratio,the desulfurization rate of the slag system is increased,the melting temperature is reduced,and the oxygen content in the steel is diminished.The results showed that the CaO/Al₂O₃ ratio decreased from the average value of 3.29 to 1.64,which caused the melting point decrease and the desulfurization rate increase.Finally,the effect of CaO/Al₂O₃ value in the range of 1.4～1.7 was verified by the desulfurization rate and oxygen content in steel.This study is of great significance to the adjustment of refining slag system of 12 Mn steel.

Abstract(14) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The formation of Al₂O₃ inclusions,aggregation and movement of Al₂O₃ clusters to solid-liquid interface are observed by high temperature laser confocal microscopy.It is found outthat it takes only 1.5 s to form Al₂O₃ granulates and the Al₂O₃ granulates far from 145 μm apart gather into a 78 μm cluster spontaneously.It takes only 0.5 s for the aggregated Al₂O₃ cluster to be absorbed and moved from the suspension position in molten steel to the solid-liquid interface,the subsequently formed single Al₂O₃ particles are rapidly absorbed by the Al₂O₃ cluster,the Al₂O₃ cluster shrink to mass in 1 s.The theoretical analysis shows that the van der Waals force is the main force acting on the aggregation of Al₂O₃ inclusions and Al₂O₃ cluster adsorbed by solid-liquid interface,and the larger the size of inclusions.Greater the van der Waals force,results in faster movement of inclusions.The spontaneous shrinkage of Al₂O₃ clusters is mainly caused by the liquid bridge force.

The high temperature mechanical properties of 09CrCuSb steel billet were tested by the hot tensile test technique with Gleeble-3500 system.The stress-strain curve,high temperature strength,thermo-plasticity and plastic modulus with temperature in the range of 650～1 300 ℃were obtained.The results show that in the stress-strain curve,the peak stress decreases with the increase of the test temperature.When the test temperature is higher than 700 ℃,a stress platform appears in the stress-strain curve.The high temperature strength of continuous casting slab sample is poor,and with the increase of temperature,its high temperature strength tends to decrease.At the strain rate of 2.4×10^-3/s,there are two brittle temperature ranges.The range of brittleness temperature Ⅰ is 1 200 ℃～melting point,and he range of brittleness temperature Ⅲ is 700～800 ℃.In the range of 825～1 250 ℃, 09CrCuSb steel billet shows good thermoplasticity,and its section shrinkage rate is more than 80%.The high temperature plastic modulus of 09CrCuSb steel slab is less than 660.099 MPa when temperature is in range of 675～1 300 ℃.

Abstract:
The effects of aging treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of martensite precipitation hardening stainless steel 06Cr15Ni5Cu2 Ti were studied by means of phase diagram calculation,tension test,optical microscope,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope.After solid solution at 1 000 ℃,the aging treatment was conducted at different temperature varying from 425 ℃ to 650 ℃.The results show that the steel has peak strength but minimum impacttoughness valueat aging temperature of 450 ℃.As the aging temperature increases,the strength of the steel decreases,but the impact toughness gradually increases.At aging temperature of 650 ℃,the lowest strength appears and the impact energy reaches the highest.This is mainly related to the occurrence of copper-rich phase and reverse transformation of austenite in the structure.Considering the strength and toughness,06Cr15Ni5Cu2 Ti steel can achieve a goodcombination of strength and toughness when it is aged at 500 ℃.

Abstract:
Based on the industrial manufactured 0.25%Si non-oriented silicon steel sheets,the effect of sulfur concentration on microstructure and magnetic properties of the finished steel sheets was discussed,in order to find out the mechanism of sulfur element acting in non-oriented silicon steel sheets.The results show that when the sulfur concentration increases from 0.001 9% to 0.010 2%,there is a significant change of the morphology,size and number of the sulfides.The morphology of sulfide will change from capsular to ellipsoidal and then to spherical,and thus its type will change from the single MnS to the complex of MnS and Cu_xS,and then to single Cu_xS,respectively.The Cu_xS particles can pin the grain boundary and reduce the diffusion rate of grain growth effectively.Thus,fine grain segregation and island grain growth appear,which results in the heterogeneous distribution of fine grains.In a word,the magnetic induction of 0.010 2%S sample is superior to the 0.001 9%S sample,but the iron loss of which is inferior to the 0.001 9%S sample.Both of the difference value of eddy loss can keep steady,but the difference value of hysteresis loss will increase with the increasing of annealing temperature.This is the main factor causing the increase of total iron loss for 0.010 2%S sample.

Abstract:
The influence of heat treatment process on the microstructure and properties of 80 kg hydropower station steel was studied by optical microscope,tensile testing machine and low-temperature impact toughness testing machine.The microstructure changes of steel at different quenching and tempering temperature were analyzed.The mechanical properties changes of test steel under different heat treatment conditions wer also discussed.The results show that test steels under the low temperature quenching produces granular bainite and under high temperature quenching forms lath bainite.The dislocations formed during quenching merge and recombine and disappear,and the stress in quenching is released when the test steel is tempered at different tempering temperatures.With the increase of tempering temperature,the lamellar structure appeared merging and growing,and the ferrite volume fraction increased,and gradually transformed into polygonal ferrite.The yield strength firstly increases and then decreases and reaching its maximum value at 630 ℃ tempering temperature.Tensile strength decreases unilaterally and fails to meet requirement when the tempering temperature reaches 650 ℃.The percentage elongation and-40 ℃ low temperature impact toughness increases significantly at tempering stage.Thus quenching temperature has been proposed at 900～930 ℃ and tempering temperature at 600～630 ℃ for the best performance.

Abstract:
In view of the aluminum alloy is good process performance,based on the research,on the basis of A356 aluminum alloy solid forming for air processing for the A356 aluminum alloy shell of the robot design, adding titanium can effectively reduce the content of iron,to effectively control the number of iron-rich phase,acicular beta iron-rich phase in the composites gradually transformed into Chinese characters shape alpha iron-rich phase,at the same time,the size of the iron-rich phase decreased significantly; Tensile strength,yield strength increased significantly,plastic also increased.The results show that,with the increase of titanium element,the grain size of the alloy is obviously refined,and when it exceeds a certain value,the refining effect is obviously decreased. In the semi-solid isothermal treatment,the width and length of the i- ron-rich phase increase first and then decrease with the increase of temperature.The grain size also decrea- ses first and then increases with the increase of temperature. With the extension of isothermal time,the length and width of the iron-rich phase increase.The spheroidization of the unmelted primary phase showed an obvious trend when the isothermal time was prolonged or the refiner was added.

Abstract:
In the process of producing ER70-Ti titanium-containing welding wire steel billet in Chengde Iron and Steel Company,serious transverse cracks occurred in the slab.In order to find out the causes of lateral crack defects,the solidification characteristics of ER70-Ti steel were analyzed by FactSage thermodynamic simulation software,and the characteristics of steel itself,mold flux and continuous casting process parameters were analyzed.The measured melting rate of the mold flux is 145 s by using a fully automatic slag melting point melting rate tester.The measured viscosity is 0.71 Pa·s by using a rotational viscometer and the heat flux density is 184 kW/m² measured by an infrared heat transfer system.This kind of slag with slow melting rate and poor heat transfer control effect seriously affects the thickness of slag layer and the uniformity of slag melting.By changing the basicity,carbon content and carbon distribution mode of the mold flux,and the heat flux density of the mold flux is reduced to 118 kW/m²,the speed is increased to 55 s as well.After adjusting the mold flux,U the surface quality of the billet is obviously improved.

Abstract:
The early fracture failure of 40 Cr screw shaftoccurred in a water treatment station of a factory after service for 4 years.The fracture causes were analyzed by chemical composition analysis,mechanical properties detection,scanning electron microscope and optical microscope.The results show that the fracture originates from the root of second threads,and the multi pass welding is causing fatigue fracture.The microstructure of core part of the shaft is composed of pearlite+net-like ferrite,which come from original structure without quenching and tempering treatment.Its mechanical properties and fatigue strength cannot meet the requirements.The fatigue source exists hard brittle martensite structure,which is in combination with alternating stress due to eccentric movement of shaft causing the crack to rapidly expand to fracture.
