Guo Peimin, Zhao Pei, Zhang Dianwei
2006, 27(4): 1-5.
Abstract(30) PDF(2)
Abstract:
The catalytic mechanism of reducing hematite was elucidated by experiments of Boudouard reaction and reducing hematite by CO gas and carbon.The rate of gasification reaction and reduction reaction was increased and showed similar tendency after addition of the catalyst.The catalytic effect of K2CO3 or Na2CO3 is substantially better than that of CaCO3.The adding of catalyst seems to improve reactivity of carbon for hematite reduction,then accelerates the Boudouard reaction and promotes indirect reaction and direct reaction of hematite reduction,finally accelerates the reduction of hematite.

2006, 27(4): 14-20,24.
Abstract(31) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Metallurgical results of mold electromagnetic stirring(MEMS)in continuous casting previous employed at continuous bloom caster for heavy rail steel was not fully achieved.Therefore,experiments for optimizing process parameters of M-EMS for heavy rail steel was carried out.In order to analyze the influence of the current intensity on internal quality of heavy rail bloom,such as center looseness,central segregation and the ratio of equiaxed zone,the effects with different current intensity were investigated.On the basis,the MEMS scheme most suitable for heavy rail steel was developed,which improves internal quality of heavy rail bloom obviously.The operation shows that the area ratio of equiaxed zone is increased from 18.8% to 36.2 %,center looseness is≤1.5,central segregation and shrinkage cavity are≤1.0,meanwhile,the central segregation index of carbon is≤1.05.Internal quality and mechanical performance of the rails produced from continuously cast blooms have met the requirement of 350 km/h high-speed tracks.

Zheng Zhiwang, Chen Jie, Zhou Dan
2006, 27(4): 21-24.
Abstract(30) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Effect of coiling temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of hot-rolled bands of Ti -IF steel was studied by means of optical microscopy,X-ray texture measurement and tensile property testing.The results show that the hot bands not only exhibit fine-grained ferrite measured to be approximately ASTM grade 11.0 but also show obvious textures.The main texture components were {115}〈110〉,{223}〈110〉and {332}〈110〉along a fiber.The coiling temperatures during hot rolling seems to have little effect on the ferrite grain size,whereas the microstructure seems to be more homogeneous and the density of all above -mentioned texture orientations seemed to decrease with the increasing of coiling temperature.Increasing coiling temperature causes strength to drop and elongation to increase at first and then to decrease.

2006, 27(4): 25-28.
Abstract(24) PDF(2)
Abstract:
Top slag plays a very important role for desulphurization during ladle refining.To prevent[Al]increasing,a synthetic slag without alumina (CaO-SiO2-CaF2)has been chosen for Si-killed steel.The laboratorial results show that the synthetic slag with initial composition of CaO 66%,SiO2 17%,CaF2 15% and Si 2% has high desulphurization speed and efficiency.The desulphurization time from 0.008 % to 0.001% is only 10min,this can satisfy the need of high performance casting.

Abstract(24) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The static recrystallization of X60 pipeline steel was measured by double-pass compression test on a Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator.The expanding curves and continuous cooling transformation curve (dynamic CCT curve) of X60 pipeline steel were obtained by dilatometry and microscopic test under different cooling speed.The transformation of austenite and morphology of X60 in the course of continuous cooling were analyzed.The analyzing results in recrystallization and dynamic CCT curve could provide the references for determining the controlled rolling and controlled cooling parameters in practice.

Abstract(21) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The equilibrium composition of V2O5 and reductant during direct alloying of V2O5 as a complex system composed of muti-component and multi-phase were simulated by HSC and then analyzed.The result of thermodynamic calculation shows that the reduced products of V2O5 carbothermic reduction is the carbide of vanadium,the system of silicothermic reduction should add CaO,aluminothermic reduction can reach a reduction rate of 99%,the reduction ability of Al is more effective than that of C and Si.The complex silicothermic and aluminothermic reduction can reach a high reduction rate by using a small quantity of Al,the calculation result is consistent with the thermodynamic law of the industrial practice of making ferrovanadium by electricity -silicothermic method.

2006, 27(4): 48-52.
Abstract(24) PDF(1)
Abstract:
There is plus-minus duplicity in the effect of sulplide inclusion on fatigue crack initiation.The effect of sulplide shapes,size,distribution and mechanical property on the fatigue fracture of high speed steel W6Mo5Cr4V2 cold ring-rolling mandrel is analyzed.It is considered that soft sulplide has some effects on brittle inclusion,such as encapsulation and buffering.These effects could slow up the mosaic stress of hard brittle non-metal inclusion to the matrix and inhibit the initiation of fatigue crack,however the inelusian still acts as rending to the matrix.
