Abstract(13) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The effect of WC addition amount on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the TiC-based cermet was investigated using BSE,EDS and XRD.The results show that the hard phase of the cermet with WC added is constituted of white core-grey rim phase and black core-grey rim phase,both of which are face-centered cubic structure.Increase in the WC addition favors the formation of white core–gray rim phase in the cermet,enhancing the mechanical properties of the cermet.However,with increase of the WC addition,the carbides dissolved in the binder phase increase,and grey rim phases which are formed during the cooling process tend to be coarse in the cermet.The coated grey rim phases are brittle and are not conducive to the improvement of mechanical properties of the cermet.TiC-based cermet with the optimum mechanical properties can be obtained with 6% of WC addition.

Abstract(16) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Gas quenching dry slag granulation process is one of the dry slag treatment processes,and granulation performance mainly includes the average diameter,size distributions and bead forming rate.The effects of different gas velocity and slag viscosity on the granulation properties were experimentally studied.The results indicates that the particle size is mainly distributed between 1～3 mm.With the increase of airflow velocity,average diameter of slag particles decreases,and the proportion of the particles which are smaller than 3 mm increases gradually.Bead formation rate firstly increases and then decreases.With the increase of viscosity,average diameter of slag particles increases,and the proportion of the particles smaller than 3 mm decreases gradually,and bead formation rate decreases.The optimum airflow velocity is 550 m/s and low viscosity is beneficial to improve the granulation performance.With the increase of airflow velocity,the unsteady wave is strengthened and the ligaments are thinner,which is readily to break,so the average diameter of droplets is reduced.But the heat transfer effect is enhanced,which leads to the formation of fibers,so the bead formation increases firstly and then decreases.With the increase of viscosity,the unstable wave decreases,the diameter of the droplet increases,and the bead forming rate decreases.

Abstract:
To solve the problem of the exceeding S content in tail gas from a titanium dioxide plant,the S content of titanium ore and titanium slag raw materials was compared and analyzed.The S content of the tail gas under different acid hydrolysis conditions was simulated using sulfuric acid.Verification test of the effect of hydrolysis process on the S content of acid hydrolysis tail gas was carried out.The results showed that the S content of titanium slag was 0.10%,lower than the 0.15% S content in titanium ore.The S in titanium slag acid hydrolysis tail gas mainly came from sulfuric acid.During the simulation test,with the increase of sulfuric acid concentration,the content of S in the exhaust gas gradually decreased and the extent of decrease gradually decreased.As the temperature increased,the S content of the exhaust gas gradually increased and the extent of increase decreased.During the titanium slag acid hydrolysis process verification test,as the reaction acid concentration decreased from 92% to 84%,the maximum reaction temperature decreased from 226 ℃ to 186 ℃,the acid hydrolysis rate decreased from 93.19% to 90.78%,and the S content in the tail gas decreased from 0.55 g to 0.09 g.S originated from sulfuric acid decreased from 91.1% to 44.4%.The acid-slag ratio showed almost no visible effect on the S content in the tail gas.

Abstract(14) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The development and utilization of high-phosphorus iron ore are restricted due to its high content of phosphorus.The occurrence state of phosphorus in high-phosphorous iron ores had been investigated by XRD diffraction.And based on the thermodynamic calculation results of FactSage7.2,the measures of pelletizing and pellet roasting had been carried out to explore the influence of different dephosphorization agents SiO₂ and CaCl₂ on the gasification and dephosphorization of high-phosphorous iron ores.The results showed that the phosphorus in high-phosphorous iron ores was in the form of Ca₅（PO₄）₃.After adding dephosphorization agent,the reaction temperature of gasification and dephosphorization began to decrease to 815 ℃.Under the experimental conditions of 1 250 ℃ and 5% carbon,0.8% SiO₂ and 1.6% CaCl₂ were added as the mixed dephosphorization agent,the optimum gasification dephosphorization performance had been achieved withdephosphorization rate of 22.1%.

Abstract(26) PDF(2)

Abstract:
In this study a three-dimensional mathematical model of electromagnetic stirring in billet mold was developed by adopting ANSYS finite element analysis software.The effects of different process parameters on magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force in the billet mold were discussed.It is found out that the temperature of mold copper tube has obvious influence on magnetic flux density.On the axis direction of the stirrer center,the distribution of magnetic flux density is higher on both sides and lower in the middle.Nevertheless,the distribution of magnetic flux density and electromagnetic force is weaker in the middle and stronger on both sides,which is on the radial direction of the cross section of the stirrer center.As the frequency keeps constant,the magnetic flux density and the electromagnetic force increase with the increase of the current.When the current keeps constant,the magnetic flux density decreases with the increase of the frequency,while the electromagnetic force increases with the increase of the frequency.

Abstract(18) PDF(1)

Abstract:
In order to clarify the precipitation rule of precipitated particles in the solidification process of X80 pipeline steel,the Thermo-calc software was used to analyze the austenite and ferrite phase transition temperature,the type of precipitates,the precipitation temperature of the precipitates and the maximum mass fraction of the precipitated phase during the solidification of X80 pipeline steel.The calculation results show that the precipitation phase of X80 pipeline steel solidification process mainly includes MnS phase,AlN phase,ferrite phase and austenite phase,titanium-rich phase carbonitride precipitation phase,cerium-rich phase carbonitride precipitation phase and vanadium carbide precipitation phase.The precipitation temperature of the titanium-rich phase carbonitride precipitation phase is 1 390 ℃,the mass fraction is 1.2×10^-4,and the precipitation phase is inhibited by the increase of the content of C element and Nb element.The increase of N and Ti content promotes the formation of carbonitride precipitation phase in the titanium-rich phase,and the V element mass fraction increment has no obvious effect on the precipitation of titanium-rich phase carbonitride.The carbon-nitrogen precipitation phase of the yttrium-rich phase precipitated at 1 110 ℃,and the mass fraction was 1.3×10^-3.With the increase of the content of C and Nb,the precipitation of carbon and nitrogen in the eutectic phase was promoted.Increasing the content of N element and Ti element inhibits the precipitation of carbon-nitrogen precipitation phase in the enthalpy-rich phase,and V element has no obvious influence on the cerium-rich carbonitride.The precipitation temperature of vanadium carbide precipitation phase is 596 ℃,and the mass fraction of precipitated phase is 4.59×10^-5.Increasing the content of C and V element is beneficial to the precipitation of vanadium carbide phase.The increase of Nb content can inhibit the vanadium carbide phase.

Abstract:
In the process of developing ULC SM490 A by Ti microalloying,excessive strength fluctuation was caused by different Mn content. Therefore,the influence of Mn on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ULC Ti microalloy steel has been studied. It is found out that when the Mn content was increased from 0.4% to 0.8% for base chemistry of 0.07%C+0.06%Ti compositions,the mechanical properties of the steel were significantly improved,the yield strength was increased by around 161 MPa,the tensile strength was increased by around 141 MPa,and the elongation after fracture decreased slightly.As the Mn content is increased,the microstructure of the steel has not changed,composed of ferrite and pearlite,but the ferrite grain size number is increased from 9.5 to 11～11.5,and the corresponding strength increment is about 44 MPa and 61 MPa calculated by the Hall-Petch formula.The total strength increment of about 35 MPa by those of Mn decreasing transition point and cause an increase in the dislocation density,plus [Si] and [Mn] substitute solution strengthening.Then it can be assumed that the strength increment due to TiC second phase strengthening by Wagner interaction of Mn element was about 65 to 82 MPa.TEM observation showed that when Mn mass fraction was increased,the TiC volume fraction was significantly improved about 3 times and particle size was about 10 nm,which was coincided with the second phase strengthening calculation.Therefore,it can be inferred that in the actual production process,the strength control of microalloyed steel can be achieved by adjusting Mn content,which undoubtedly has a positive effect on the development of microalloy steel.

The 0.24%C-1.5%Si-2.0%Mn-0.16%V cold-rolled steel was heat treated at 780 ℃ intercritical annealing for 180 s,then quenching into 350～380 ℃ for 360 s,or quenching into 380 ℃ for holding 60～1 200 s.The microstructures and properties after heat treatments were tested by tension test,OM,SEM and XRD analysis.The results show that the good comprehensive property with tensile strength of 1 029 MPa,product of strength and elongation of 20.1 GPa·%,work hardening index of 0.22,is obtained by quenching into 380 ℃ for 360 s.The higher or lower quenching temperature,the higher tensile strength and the lower elongation are.As the holding time prolongs to 1 200 s,the strength and elongation are not varying much,but the yield platform appears.The volume fraction of retained austenite（RA） can be greatly affected by equal quenching temperature and time.The volume fraction of RA increases from 2.58% to 3.86% as isothermal the temperature increasing from 350 ℃ to 410 ℃,and then rapidly decreases in higher temperatures since martensite transformation is hindered and bainite transformation appears.And the RA maintains about 3.5% as the carbon has been enriched in austenite under isothermal quenching for 180 s.

Abstract:
The influence of annealing process on microstructure and mechanical properties of super high strength steel DP1180 was studied by means of thermo-simulator system Gleeble-3500,field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscope.The results show that the yield strength declines quickly when the annealing temperature is below 760 ℃ due to the annealing soften effect,but the martensite fraction shows no visible increasing.When the temperature is above 800 ℃, the strength decreases gradually because of the excessive austenitization and banitic transformation which could be attributed to the decreasing carbon concentration in austenite.A perfect match of strength and plastic could obtained when steel is annealed at between 760～800 ℃,at the same time,a refined and homogeneous microstructure could be obtained.

Abstract:
In a typical process,mild steel and dual phase steel were respectively annealed at 800 ℃ for 90 s,cooled slowly to 680 ℃ and then cooled rapidly to 300 ℃ to carry out the overaging treatment.As a result,the ferrite-cementite mild steel and ferrite-martensite dual phase steel were obtained after the continuous annealing process.After pre-straining,the specimens were baked to measure the bake-hardening（BH） values.The influences of pre-strain and baking temperature on the microstructure evolution and bake-hardening behavior of mild steel and dual phase steel were investigated.It was found out that the bake-hardening（BH） value gradually increased with an increase in pre-strain from 0% to 8%.The BH value reached a maximum value of 65 MPa at the pre-strain of 8% in the mild steel.In the dual phase steel,the BH value apparently increased with an increase in pre-strain from 0% to 1%; however,increasing pre-strain from 1% to 8% led to a decrease in the BH value.The BH value reached a maximum value of 79 MPa at the pre-strain of 1%.Furthermore,an increase in the baking temperature from 140 ℃ to 300 ℃ favored a gradual improvement in the BH value in both of mild steel and dual phase steel.And the maximum BH values at the baking temperature of 300 ℃ were 71 MPa and 148 MPa in the mild steel and dual phase steel,respectively.The yielding platform appeared in the engineering stress-strain curve in the mild steel after baking.While the yielding platform was not observed in the engineering stress-strain curves of dual phase steel after baking at 140～170 ℃.However,the yielding platform appeared in the engineering stress-strain curve due to the martensite tempering in the dual phase steel baked at 210～300 ℃.

Abstract:
The properties and structure changes of a cold-drawn pearlite steel wire annealed at 200～300 ℃ were studied,and the strengthening and toughening mechanism during tempering was revealed by means of scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,X-ray diffraction and conventional mechanical testing methods in this paper.The results show that the pearlite layer of cold drawn steel wire is not continuous,and the precipitation behavior of cementite nanocrystals exists during drawing and tempering.The strength and ductility of cold-drawn steel wire are improved after annealing.With the increasing of annealing temperature,the strength is increased slightly and the ductility is further improved.The change of strength is mainly due to the dislocation strengthening effect,while the improved ductility is due to the fact that the newly precipitated nanocrystalline particles can reduce the stress concentration during tension by rotation and sliding.
