AbstractTo clarify the interaction mechanism between distinct tundish gunning materials (GM) and liquid steel, two kinds of gunning materials, namely MgO, Al2O3 GM, were tested. SEM, EDS, XRD and chemical analysis were carried out for steel and GM to investigate the change of chemical composition of steel in contact with GM and the interface microstructure between steel and GM after high temperature holding experiments. The steel cleanliness in terms of inclusion number density, size and size distribution was evaluated. It was found that the reducible component, low-melting-point phases and the pores in GM were passageway for steel penetration. The Al2O3 GM was less prone to steel penetration due to its poor wetting and the dense transition layer. MgO GM provided more oxygen and showed a stronger oxidizing capacity due to its higher content of reducible oxides (10.5 wt.% SiO2+2 wt.% Fe2O3). The use of Al2O3 GM resulted in an improved steel cleanliness and consequently could be a promising refractory in the tundish lining.

Chemical Composition Of Steel

The Influence of Chemical Composition of Steel on Steel Desulphurization The steel desulphurization in ladle furnace depends on temperature, oxygen and sulphur content in the steel, but mainly on chemical composition and physical properties of slag. Necessary requirement for effective desulphurization is also minimum content of easily reducible oxides in the slag. There are many correlations for expression of slag desulphurization capability, where their functional dependency on each other can be found, mainly between sulphur distribution coefficient, optical basicity, basicity, sulphide capacity, desulphurisation potential of slag and also calcium - aluminate ratio of oxides in slag or content of easily reducible oxides in slag. This work presents statistical and graphical correlation between manganese and slag parameters using the set of approximately 768 heats and based on these, the optimal parameters for slag desulphurization capability are expressed especially for steel grades internally marked as OR1, OR3 in Železiarne Podbrezová, a.s. Steel grades OR1 and OR3 were chosen because of difference in manganese content with similar chemical composition of other elements. The MnO content in the slag is one of the most important parameters. Despite the higher scatter of obtained values, the distribution coefficient of sulphur (Ls) is one of the wide range of parameters for whom exists very close dependence on MnO content in slag.

At production of pipes of type 13Cr grade steel used at development of oil and gas deposits in areas with aggressive environment, intensive wear of instrument takes place, first of all, piercing mill mandrels. Factors, influencing the resistivity of the piercing mandrels considered, including chemical composition of the material, the mandrel is made of and its design. Based on industrial experience it was shown, that chrome content in the mandrel material practically does not affect on the increase of its resistivity, since the formed thin protective oxides having high melting temperature, are quickly failed and practically are not restored in the process of piercing. To increase the resistivity of piercing mandrels at production of casing tubes of type 13Cr grade steel, a work was accomplished to select a new material for their manufacturing. The chemical composition of steel presented, which was traditionally used for piercing mandrels manufacturing, as well as a steel grade proposed to increase their resistivity. First, molybdenum content was increased, which increases the characteristics of steel strength and ductility at high temperatures and results in grain refining. Second, tungsten content was also increased, which forms carbides in the steel resulting in an increase of its hardness and “red resistivity”, as well as in preventing grains growth during heating. Third, cobalt content was also increased, which increases heat resistivity and shock loads resistivity. The three elements increase enabled to increase the mandrels resistivity by two times. Results of mandrel test of steel 20ХН2МВ3КБ presented, the mandrel having corrugation on the working cone surface, which enabled to reach the resistivity growth to 12 passes without significant change of instrument cost. Microstructure of mandrels made of steels 20Х2Н4МФА and 20ХН2МВ3КБ shown. Application of the centering pin of special design was tested, which provided forming of a rounding edge on the front billet ends, eliminated undercut of mandrel external surface in the process of secondary billet grip and increase the service life of the piercing mill mandrels. At production of seamless pipes of martensite class type 13Cr stainless steels having L80 group of strength, an increase of piercing mandrel resistivity was reached by more than four times, which together with other technical solutions enabled to increase the hourly productivity of the hot rolling section of Volzhsky pipe plant ТПА 159-426 line by more than two times.

MoSi2 is a promising high-temperature material with low density (6.3 g/cm3), high melting point (2020 °C), and good oxidation resistance at temperatures to about 1900 °C. However, in the intermediate temperature range between 400 and 600 °C, it is susceptible to a “pest” reaction which causes catastrophic disintegration by a combination of oxidation and fracture. In this study, we have used polycrystalline MoSi2, produced by arc-casting of the pure elements and by cold and hot pressing of alloy powders, to characterize the pest reaction and to determine the roles of composition, grain or phase boundaries, and physical defects on the oxidation and fracture of specimens exposed to air at 500 °C. It was found that pest disintegration occurs through transport of oxygen into the interior of the specimen along pre-existing cracks and/or pores, where it reacts to form MoO3 and SiO2. The internal stress produced during the formation of MoO3 results in disintegration to powder. Near the stoichiometric ratio, the susceptibility to pest disintegration increases with increasing molybdenum content and with decreasing density. Silicon-rich alloys were able to form protective SiO2 and showed no indication of disintegration, even at densities as low as 60%.

Heater Coil

A high-temperature cloud chamber is described in which a bead of alkali halide is supported on a heater coil mounted in the roof. By passing the current through the coil the temperature of the bead may be momentarily raised by several hundred degrees, producing salt vapour at high supersaturation. Condensation ensues in the presence of the inert supporting gas, and clouds of droplets or solid particles appear depending on the chamber temperature. Light scattered from the clouds under strong illumination is examined with a telescope, and the presence of crystalline particles is detected by their capacity to scintillate, or ‘twinkle’. It is found that twinkling in clouds of alkali halides appears sharply as the temperature is lowered below the melting point, defining a critical temperature of solidification for each salt. Reasons are given for regarding this temperature as the freezing threshold of molten salt droplets, for which supercoolings of about 150 °C are indicated. A reduced temperature, given by the ratio of the freezing threshold to the melting point, has the value of approximately 0.8 for all the alkali halides examined.

The study of diffusion processes in the aluminum - copper system was carried out at the temperature 350 and 520 °C. Special attention was paid on the chemical composition of the system near Al/Cu interface. It was determined that the intermediate phases in the system, corresponding to the equilibrium phase diagram, were not formed at low temperature. At high temperature the intermediate phases forms starting with Cu - rich phases. In both cases supersaturated solid solution of copper in aluminum could be observed near the interface.

Strength And Ductility

A method for optimizing chemical composition of steel is proposed and a correlation is established to reduce cardinally alloy elements in existing steel grades that results in high compressive residual stresses at the surface of intensively quenched steel parts and increasing strength and ductility of material due to super- strengthening phenomenon. The algorithm of optimization consists in reducing alloy elements in existing alloy steel in 1.5 – 2 times and then lowering step-by-step content of steel, beginning from the most costly alloy element and ending the most cheaper one, until established correlation is satisfied. The range of reduction is minimal and during computer calculations can be chosen as 0,001wt%. The proposed approach can save alloy elements, energy, increase service life of machine components and improve environmental condition. The method is a basis for development of the new low hardenability (LH) and optimal hardenability (OH) steels.
