Abstract:
The chemical compositions,phase structures and microstructures of cold molten salt are studied. It is found that the molten salt system exists in complexus of TiO₂,SiO₂,chloride molten salt,calcium oxides and iron oxides. Molten salt system agglomerates under cold condition with uneven appearance and loose state. The longitudinal and transverse distributions of important components in the molten salt are researched by systematic sampling. The results show that at longitudinal section,the contents of TiO₂,SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ increase gradually from top to bottom,and the contents of C,FeCl₂ and FeCl₃ decrease gradually from top to bottom while most of the components at transverse section do not show a apparent rule.

Abstract:
Theoretical thermodynamic data of TiC_0.5O_0.5 production by carbon thermal reduction were calculated by thermodynamic software combined with the latest technology research progresses. The processes of TiO₂ reduction with graphite,carbon black,and petroleum coke were tested by DSC-TG,and titanium soluble anodes prepared with different carbonaceous reducing agent were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The results show that Gibbs free energy and temperature of the solid solution TiC_0.5O_0.5 meet the relation of ΔG=385 418-262.1 T,and high temperature and low vacuum are beneficial for preparing solid solution TiC_0.5O_0.5. The processes of TiO₂ reduction with graphite and carbon black are similar,but different from that with petroleum coke. The initial temperature of solid solution TiC_0.5O_0.5 preparation with graphite is lower than those of the other two carbonaceous reducing agents. TiC_0.5O_0.5 can be acquired by graphite and carbon black reduction,but the reaction of petroleum coke is incomplete,and solution particles prepared with graphite are homogeneous.

Abstract:
The process of extracting vanadium from molten vanadium slag was simulated. After vanadium slag was heated to the molten state,CaO was charged and oxygen was blown into the slag,by which vanadium in the slag was oxidized into quadrivalent or pentavalent state and calcium vanadate was obtained.Then acid leaching was employed to extract vanadium. The influence of calcium to vanadium ratio,sulfuric acid concentration and solid-liquid ratio on leaching ratio was investigated. The experiment results show that the calcium vanadate is mainly CaV₂O₅,and with 70% of the slag's particle size smaller than 0.074mm,calcium to vanadium ratio of 0.5~0.9,leaching temperature of 90℃,reaction time of 120min,solid to liquid ratio of 1:5,and sulphuric acid concentration of 20%,vanadium leaching ratio can reach 88% or above.

Abstract(31) PDF(3)

Abstract:
Taking TiOCl₂ solution prepared by hydration of TiCl₄ as raw material,crystalline TiO₂powder was prepared by pyrohydrolysis of self-generating seed crystal under a pressure of 1 atm. With Ti⁴⁺ concentration in the initial TiOCl₂ solution of 0.5 mol/L,after reaction at 106℃ for 120 min,the product obtained was proved to be a mixture of rutile,anatase and brookite powder by X-ray diffraction analysis. And pure rutile TiO₂ powder could be prepared after calcination. The influence of the concentration of Ti⁴⁺ and reaction temperature and time on size distribution of the products was investigated. It can be concluded that with Ti⁴⁺ concentration of 0.5 mol/L and reaction time of 120 min,TiO₂ power with minimum particle size can be obtained,and as the hydrolysis temperature reduces,the TiO₂ particle size becomes smaller.

Abstract(27) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Cleanliness of IF steel during casting process was systematically investigated. The research on T[O]in RH-tundish-slab shows that from tundish to slab,average contents of T[O]decrease from 31× 10^-6 to 20 × 10^-6while average contents of nitrogen increase from 16.5 × 10^-6 to 19.6 × 10^-6. The analysis on inclusions in tundish for the first three heats of a casting batch shows that the number of inclusions with diameters smaller than 2 μm reduces significantly to no more than 50 percent of the initial amount. Original position analysis(OPA) on surface inclusions in head slab,tail slab and normal slab shows that the content of Al series inclusions in head slab is apparently higher than those in normal slab and tail slab; the distribution tendency of Al series inclusions in different depth in inner arc is consistent with that in outer arc; where the distance to the surface is 1.6 mm,the content of Al series inclusions the lowest; where the distance to the surface is above 1.6 mm,the content increases while the distance above 3.2 mm,the content tends to decrease.

Abstract(29) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Fe₂O₃ is a kind of pulverized coal combustion improver suitable for blast furnace. TG-DSC analysis is employed to study the combustion mechanism,and the result shows that FeCO-R weakens bridged bond of carbon structural units and changes crystal structures,resulting in lowered activation energy of the pulverized coal and accelerated combustion. Combustion conditions of the blast furnace are simulated,and then unburned coal are collected and analyzed by XRD and SEM. The results show that with the addition of the combustion improver Fe₂O₃,microcrystal parameters of the unburned coal increase,and height and diameter of aromatic lamella increase by 0.001 1 nm and 0.001 2 nm respectively; particles size of the unburned coal powder decreases by 3.48 μm with irregular morphological appearances.

Abstract(12) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Temperature distributions on CSP mold copper plate of a certain steel mill are measured by a mold temperature monitoring software. A two-dimension model for mold heat flux distributions is built on the basis of casting parameters including real-time copper temperature,original temperature of cooling water,and temperature differences of cooling water. The effect of slab width and casting speed on the heat flux distribution on the meniscus is discussed. The results show that the distributions of heat flux and temperature in mold are nonuniform. The uniformity of the heat flux distribution is increased with the increase of slab width or the decrease of the casting speed.

Shi Lin, Wang Zhigang

2013, 34(5): 63-68. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2013.05.013

Abstract(18) PDF(1)

Abstract:
In order to satisfy the requirement of blast furnace on longevous cooling stave,the temperature and stress field of the newly designed cast iron cooling stave of taphole are calculated by using the ABAQUS. The results show that the maximum temperature of hot surface is 85.22℃ which leads to small deformation at the early stage of taphole opening. When the lining erosion thickness increases from 50 mm to 1 100 mm,the temperature of the hot surface at the taphole corner increases from 87.16℃ to 234.9℃. In addition,the stress at the middle part of the stave increases from 130.3 MPa to 294.0 MPa which is close to the yield strength of the stave,but the stresses at locating pins greatly exceed the yield strength of the stave. The results indicate that the weak cooling area of the newly designed cooling stave is near the taphole corner and central line,and the stress concentrates near the locating pins. This study provides a theoretical basis for improving the design and installation of the cast iron cooling stave of taphole.

2013, 34(5): 69-74,88. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2013.05.014

Abstract(11) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Erosive wear resistance of precipitation hardening steel 0Cr17Ni7Al was investigated via self-made solid-liquid two-phase-flow erosive wear tester,and the effect of heat treatment on the erosive wear resistance of the steel was studied. Furthermore,through comparison with H₁₃ steel which has the similar hardness with the steel,its erosive wear mechanism was also discussed. The experimental results show that the specimens undergone solid solution treatment at 1 040℃ and aged at 520℃ present the best erosive wear resistance. As erosive time increases,the weight loss ratio of steel 0Cr17Ni7Al increases first and then keeps at a stable value,showing a noticeable influence by work hardening rate and erosive angle. As the erosive angle increases from 15° to 90°,the weight loss due to erosive wear increases first and then decreases with the maximum value at 45°. Steel 0Cr17Ni7Al has better wear-resistant properties at small angles than H₁₃ steel while they have basically the same erosion maximum. Based on surface morphology observation,the erosive wear mechanism of slurry on materials in the research is mainly extrusion. Therefore,higher strength and hardness is beneficial for improving erosive wear resistance.

The microstructures and X-ray diffraction spectrum of the steel show that the steel is strengthened and toughened by martensite and residual austenitic. The effect of continuous heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties is also discussed.

2013, 34(5): 79-82. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2013.05.016

Abstract(13) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Microalloying of steels refers to adding a small amount of microalloying elements into steels,which can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of steels. In this paper,the research object is medium-carbon microalloyed steel containing vanadium. After aging treatment at 900℃,and isothermal treatment at 680,600,550 and 500℃ respectively,the influence of isothermal temperature on the formation of intragranular ferrite is studied,and the microstructures are observed. The results show that after heat preservation at 900℃,there is a significant increase of ferrite content in the original sample from 5.26% to 37.94%. After isothermal treatment,with the decrease of isothermal temperature,the crystallographic form of ferrite transforms from lumps to short rod-like shape. As the temperature further reduces,it transforms from short rod-like ferrite to acicular ferrite; with the decrease of temperature,ferrite content in the tested steel gradually increases while the grain size gradually decreases.

2013, 34(5): 89-94. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2013.05.018

Abstract(10) PDF(1)

Abstract:
The causes of delayed cracks forming in 80 mm-thick abrasion-resistant steel plates NM400 after cutting were investigated by analyzing macrostructures and microstructures of the plates,and countermeasures to avoid such kind of cracks were considered. The result shows that there are several center contraction cavities and segregations in the mid-depth of the plate,and microstructures there are coarse; the impact of various residual stresses generating during heat treatment and the flame cutting process on this area is the main reason for the formation of the delayed crack. The delayed cracks can be effectively avoided by reducing defects in continuously cast blooms and improving heat treatment and cutting process.

2013, 34(5): 95-98,104. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2013.05.019

Abstract(11) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Fe-Al intermetallic matrix composite coating was prepared on the surface of steel C45 by hotdip aluminizing,then the sample was processed at different diffusion annealing temperature. The structures and chemical compositions of the coating were analyzed by XRD and SEM etc. The effect of diffusion annealing temperature on alloy layer and the conversion mechanism of the layer was discussed. The results show that the main phases of the coating are Fe₂Al and Al₂O₃ when the temperature is at 700~800℃; as the temperature exceeds 800℃,the phase of the alloy layer varies from brittle phase(Fe₂Al₅) to tough phases(FeAl and Fe₃Al); the alloy layer is completely converted to FeAl and Fe₃Al when the diffusion temperature is at 1 000℃. Fe₂Al₅ is featured by great hardness but it tends to crack due to its brittleness. Although the hardness of FeAl and Fe₃Al is lower than that of Fe₂A₅,their toughness is so excellent that they can effectively hinder the formation and expansion of cracks in the coating,and they can integrate closer with the matrix.
