Abstract:
The rule of step-by-step indirect reduction of vanadium oxides was calculated theoretically.It is concluded that the indirect reduction of vanadium oxides follows the rule of V2O5→VO2→V3O5→V2O3→VO→V at 273~987 K while V2O5→VO2→V2O3→VO→V at 987~2 500 K.The temperature intervals for steady existence of vanadium oxides are 273~623 K for VO2,623~713 K for V3O5,713~1 393 K forV2O3,1 393-1 882 K for VO and 1 882~2 500 K for V,respectively.The equilibrium diagram of V-O-CO system was obtained, and the effects of pressure and activity on the equilibrium diagram were investigated.The activity of vanadium,decreases with increase in C and S content but increases with increasing the content of Si,Mn,P,V,Ti and Cr, and the initial reduction temperature of vanadium oxides turns into 1 213 K considering the influence of activity of vanadium.The initial reduction temperature of vanadium ox-ides,rising with increase of system gas pressure,reaches to 943 K,1 053 K,1 190 K,1 381 K and 1 642 K as gas pressure is 0.000 1 MPa,0.001 MPa,0.01 MPa,0.1 MPa and 1 MPa,respectively.

Abstract:
The thermodynamics calculation and analysis for oxidation-reduction roasting of titanium slag produced by electric furnace in Panzhihua were carried out in this paper,based on which the phase com-positions of the oxidized products at different roasting temperatures for the titanium slag were determined by X-ray diffraction.The results indicate that rutile and M3O5 solid solution are formed by the oxidation of titanium and iron with lower valence in the calcination process. The reduction thermodynamics analysis shows that the trivalent iron transforms into divalent iron compounds by reduction of the oxidation calcina-tion products for the titanium slag.

Abstract(33) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Chemical and phase compositions of the titanium slag with different FeO contents were analyzed, and the effects of FeO content on the heat release, quantity and compositions of collected slag, molten salts compositions and product quality in molten salt chlorination process were researched.The results show that the main phases of titanium slag are anosovite, rutile and silicate vitreous.With increasing FeO content, the heat release, ratio of the collected slag, contents of FeCl3 and FeCl2 in the molten salts, contents of FeCl3 and solid in the products all increase for the chlorination process.It is feasible for preparation of TiCl4 by molten salt chlorination using titanium slag with high content of FeO.However, the compositions of molten salts and collected slag are evidently affected in the chlorination process.Thus, the ratio of materials, salte limination system and slurry spray system should be adjusted to resolve the problems mentioned above.

Abstract(21) PDF(3)
Abstract:
This paper respectively discussed the influences of vacuum level, distillation temperature, dis-tillation load and spray water system on vacuum distillation process of titanium sponge, according to the characteristics of titanium sponge production by half-combined I-type furnace.A higher vacuum level and better gas tightness of the alembic, a smaller distillation load and directly heating the furnace to 960~1 020℃ are favorable for increasing the evaporation rate and shortening the distillation period.In addition,by using the sudden decline of vacuum degree in the top of condenser tank as the judgment for vacuum distillation channel opening and adjusting the temperature of spray water periodically, the distillation effi-ciency decrease and distillation channel blocking of I-type furnace which are caused by the gas-liquid-solid phase transformation of Mg and MgCl2 in condenser tank are efficiently resolved.

2016, 37(6): 35-45. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2016.06.007
Abstract(54) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Ultra-high strength steel sheets have been subjected to heat treatments that simulate the thermal cycles in hot-dip galvanising and galvannealing processes and evaluated with respect to their resulting mechanical properties and microstructures. The steels contained suitable contents of carbon(~0.2%),manganese(1.2%) and chromium(0.4%) to ensure that they could be fully transformed to martensite after austenitisation followed by rapid cooling in a continuous annealing line,prior to galvanising. Different contents of vanadium(0~0.1%) and nitrogen(0.002%~0.012%) were used to investigate the possible role of these microalloying elements on the strength of the tempered martensite. Vanadium,especially when in combination with a raised nitrogen content,helps to resist the effect of tempering so that a larger proportion of the initial strengthening is preserved after the galvanising cycle,giving tensile strength levels exceeding 1 000 MPa. Different deoxidation practices using aluminium or silicon have also been included. These showed similar strength levels at corresponding carbon contents but the bendability of the Si-killed steel sheet was considerably superior. Microstructural examinations have been made on the annealed steels but the reason for the beneficial effect of vanadium is still not fully explained. It is concluded that microalloying with vanadium is a very promising approach in the development of corrosion-resistant ultra-high strength steel sheet products.

2016, 37(6): 46-50. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2016.06.008
Abstract(27) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The microstructures and properties of vanadium-alloyed cold rolled TRIP steel were investigated by salt-bath heat treatment and methods of property testing and microstructure observation. The results show that all the tensile strength of the samples can reach 700 MPa in the certain heat treatment, and the best mechani-cal properties with 514 MPa yield stress, 738 MPa tension stress, 29% elongation and 21 402 MPa·%, re-spectively, can be achieved. As the intercritical annealing temperature increasing, the volume fraction of aus-tenite increases accordingly. So the hardening phases such as bainite and martensite increase to make the strength increasing and the ductility decreasing. The positive effect of vanadium on austenite is not apparent,which may be associated with the short annealing time and the precipitation of vanadium carbides in the bain-ite zone which can reduce the stability of retained austenite by consuming the carbon element.

Abstract(22) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The reaction process for preparation of V-4Cr-4Ti crude alloy by Mg and Ca co-reduction was thermodynamically analyzed. The feasibility of the reactions as well as the oxidation vulnerability of Ti was confirmed by the st and ard Gibbs free energies of chemical reactions. Experiments were designed by Fact-Sage software, and the adiabatic combustion temperature of the process was calculated to be 2 657.86℃,with about 2 100℃ of estimated slag melting point and 3 499.4 J·g-1 of unit thermal effect. The experi-mental results show that V-4Cr-4Ti crude alloy with 91.6% V, 3.57% Cr and 1.53% Ti can be obtained according to design scheme by Fact-Sage, but further refining is necessary due to the inhomogeneity of Ti and slag inclusion in the alloy.

Abstract:
Mo2C is normally added to improve the wettability between Ti(C,N) and Ni in Ti(C,N)-based cermets.Due to the increasing price of Mo2 C,much attention has been paid to Ti(C,N)-based cermets with WC addition.In this paper,effect of WC content on the microstructure of Ti(C0.7N0.3)-xWC-15%Ni cermets free of Mo2 C was studied.The experimental results show that all the WC had been solid solved with TiC0.7N0.3or dissolved into Ni binder phase, and all the cermets have core-rim structure.WC has a strong effect of grain re-finement on microstructure(average grain size is below 10 μm) when WC content is above 20%.

Abstract(20) PDF(6)
Abstract:
The crystallization behaviors of blast furnace slag under different cooling modes including fur-nace cooling,air cooling and water cooling were investigated by Fact Sage simulation software,XRD and SEM,to explore the influence of cooling modes on the crystallization quantity of blast furnace slag.The re-sults show that the crystallization of the slag occurs at 1 425.9℃ with melilite precipitated and is comple-ted at 1 268.5℃,with 157.4℃ of temperature range.Due to the difference in heat exchange rate,the crystallization of blast furnace slag is obviously affected by the cooling methods at the same cooling tem-perature.The highest degree of crystallization can be obtained in the slag with furnace cooling mode,while the crystallization amount distinctly decreases in the slag by air cooling with the crystals and amorphous materials coexisted. The akermanite and gehlenite are the crystals precipitated in both of the cooling modes.With the water cooling method,amorphous materials are formed under rapid cooling rate.

Abstract(10) PDF(1)
Abstract:
In this paper the effect of furnace dust on the HCl removal in the top gas of blast furnace had been investigated.When ash content in gas baghouse increases within the level less than 5 mg/m3,the HCl removal can be improved.When the particle size of dust is less than 38 μm,increasing size can slightly improve the dechlorination effect,however,excess size will lead to rapid removal effect decreasing. The suit-able location for installing HCl removal equipment shall be the downstream of cloth bag dust remover, and the baghouse ash through purification can be used as an active additive into blast furnace top gas dechlorination agent.The gravity dust will deteriorate the effect of removing chlorine in the blast furnace top gas.

Abstract(16) PDF(1)
Abstract:
Based on field experiments,the amount of rephosphorization quantity,the P content of alloy and auxiliary materials and the quantity of tapping slag were calculated in order to effectively control liquid steel rephosphorization.The effects of slag composition and temperature on the rephosphorization were also analyzed in the paper.The results show that the rephosphorization caused by alloy addition and tap-ping slag were the dominant roles contributing to the total rephosphorization quantity.Adding alloy with low P content and decreasing the tapping slag amount could effectively reduce the rephosophorization quantity.Controlling tapping temperature at~1620℃ and the content of FeO greater than 15% were necessary measurement in order to reduce rephosphorization.During secondary refining,controlling the slag basicity and the content FeO of refining slag ranging from 0.25% to 0.45%,liquid steel rephosphorization can be effectively controlled.

2016, 37(6): 113-119. doi: 10.7513/j.issn.1004-7638.2016.06.021
Abstract:
Due to the frequent surface defect happened to the peritectic steel slab, the effects of raw mineral materials on the properties and crystallization characteristics of mold flux were investigated using process mineralogy in this study. Mold flux were mainly prepared using cement clinker and industrial mineral materials under laboratory conditions, the crystallization phases of the flux film were systematically i-dentified and quantitatively analyzed. According to the analysis, the crystallization ratio of all the flux films reached more than 55% with additional mineral materials, and the main phases of the flux films are wollastonite and cuspidine. As the quartz(6%~24%) or wollastonite(11%~19%) addition increasing,viscosity and heat flow density of flux film increase, which facilitate the growth of wollastonite in the flux film. Whereas, with increasing fluorite(8%~16%) or soda ash(10%~18%), the viscosity of flux film decreases, which promote the cuspidine content increase and thus heat transfer of flux film. When the quartz and wollastonite addition exceeded, it will lead to a large number of wollastonite and few cuspidine, the excessive fluorite and soda ash addition will lead to mass cuspidine and few wollastonite.

Abstract(26) PDF(3)
Abstract:
The macro-segregation of alloying elements during continuous casting steel has adverse effect on the quality of steel product.The nature of macro-segregation in casting is physical movement of liquid phase or solid phase during solidification.The causes of molten steel flow in continuous casting process were sum-marized,such as forced convection by external force,bulging and solidification shrinkage.Accordingly,the mechanisms of macro-segregation caused by these factors were analyzed. To solve macro-segregation,the technologies such as low superheat pouring,electromagnetic stirring and liquid core reduction at the end of solidification were applied.However,practice result shows that this problem could not be solved by using every individual technology alone.In order to improve the composition uniformity of continuous casting product,it is advised that the corresponding measurements should be adopted for each type of segregation.

Abstract:
According to the practical conditions of 65 t ladle,the effects of bottom blowing design and process parameters on slag entrapping,turbulent kinetic energy and lining Erosion of the ladle has been investigated by Fluent s of tware.Under the condition of 100 L/min bottom blowing,slag entrapping will not readily occur because the steel flow velocity on steel-slag interface ranges from 0.15~0.2 m/s,which is less than critical velocity 0.229 m/s at which slag entrapping can happen.The distribution of turbulent kinetic energy is reasonable when the intersection angle and the center distance of bottom blowing were 180° and 0.6R,respectively.Under this constructional condition,the predicted mixing time by Fluent soft-ware is good agreement with that of the cold model experiment.The standard error is within 5%,showing the good reliability of the numerical simulation.

Abstract:
In the paper, C-Si-Mn steels were soaked at 800℃ for 120 s, and then rapidly cooled to 350℃ and held for 100~1 000 s to simulate the bainite isothermal transformation process. The influence of bainite isothermal time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-high strength cold-rolled transformation induced plasticity(TRIP) steel was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and tensile test. The results showed that the microstructure of cold-rolled TRIP steel was com-posed of ferrite, bainite, martensite and retained austenite. The bainite and retained austenite formed in the isothermal stage, and the martensite isl and formed in the final cooling stage after isothermal process.With an increase in the bainite isothermal time, the solute C atoms fully diffused into the retained austen-ite due to the transformation of the supercooled austenite into bainite. Therefore, the average solute C content in the austenite increased due to the enrichment of solute C atoms and the decrease of the austen-ite volume fraction. And the martensite volume fraction reduced, and the retained austenite volume frac-tion increased. As a result, with an increase in the isothermal time from 100 s to 1 000 s, the yield strength increased from 596 MPa to 692 MPa, the tensile strength decreased from 1 455 MPa to 1 138 MPa, the YS/UTS ratio increased from 0.41 to 0.60, and the elongation decreased from 6.2% to 18.9%.The cold-rolled ultra-high strength TRIP steel with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties(Rm×A=21 510 MPa·%) was obtained at 1 000 s of bainitic isothermal holding.

Abstract:
In this paper the effects of Ti on the hardenability of boron-bearing track steel had been inves-tigated through Jominy end quench test and microstructure observation. It is found out that when Ti/N ra-tion is less than 5.2, the hardenability of boron steel increase with Ti/N increasing. The hardenability keep constant under condition of 5.27.3, the hardenability will decreases with increasing Ti/N. The suitable Ti addition should be controlled at 4.0

Abstract:
The temperature-expansion curves under different of cooling rates of DH36 steels had been measured by high temperature phase transformation quenching instruments.The CCT curves of the steels had been determined by using the expansion method and observing the microstructure of the steels.The influence of different cooling rates on the inclusion size, quantity and microstructure had been studied.The results showed that the range of cooling rates for achieving acicular ferrite is 0.3~3℃/s and the optimum cooling rate is 1℃/s.With the increase of cooling rates, the number of the inclusions decreases first and then in-creases.The size of inclusion is mainly between 0~2 μm, and is suitable for inducing nucleation of acicular ferrite.The nucleation of acicular ferrite has not always been increased with the increase of inclusion num-ber.There is an optimal combination of number of inclusions and the nucleation of acicular ferrite.

Abstract:
Using the quick cooling device located at the exit of final bar mill st and,The influence of main process parameters on the properties of reinforcing steel bar was tested and analyzed.The results show that the interval time between the final st and and the initial cooling can be shortened to increase the strength of reinforcing bar.Increasing water flow,cooling time or cooling water pressure can improve the strength of reinforcing bar,but it will decrease the elongation.Reducing self tempering temperature can increase the strength of reinforcing bar,but it will also decrease the elongation.Based on the research results,using the steel grade of Q235 produced at a overseas bar mill,controlling the self tempering temperature of Ø18 mm rebar in 570~630℃,Ø22 mm rebar in 550~650℃ and Ø25 mm in 460~520℃,it can obtain qualified reinforcing steel bar in accordance with the national st and ard.
