چکیده
K. Janiszewski, Silesian University of Technology, Institute of Technology Metals, Katowice, Poland This paper presents the results of microscopic investigations of the structure and chemical composition of the axial zones of continuous casting ingots of 140 x 140 mm cross-section made of G3Si1 steel, comprising the areas of porosity and axial shrinkage defects. The occurrence of shrinkage hollows and non-metallic phase, resulting from chemical reactions of the steel components with oxygen at the solidification front, has been stated in these areas.

Effect of low-frequency electromagnetic field on the as-cast microstructure of a new super high strength aluminum alloy by horizontal continuous casting
The super high strength aluminum alloy ingots with 100 mm in diameter were cast by the process of low-frequency electromagnetic horizontal continuous casting (LFEHC) and the effect of electromagnetic field on the as-cast microstructure was studied. Results show that microstructure of the sample prepared by the LFEHC process was greatly refined. Microstructures at the border and the center of th...
متن کاملNEURAL NETWORK MODELING OF THE EFFECT OF COOLING SLOPE CASTING PARAMETERS ON PARTICLE SIZE OF PRIMARY SILICON CRYSTALS OF SEMISOLID CAST INGOTS OF Al-20Si (wt%)
Abstract: Cooling slope-casting processing is a relatively new technique to produce semisolid cast feedstock for the thixoforming process. Simple equipment, ease of operation, and low processing costs are the main advantages of this process in comparison with existing processes such as mechanical stirring, electromagnetic stirring, etc. The processing parameters of cooling slope casting are...
متن کاملPossibility of Determining Steel Grain Size Using Ultrasonic Waves
The microstructure of steel is decisive for its chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Depending on the parameters characterising liquid metal as well as the parameters of the steel casting influencing the crystallisation process, the macrostructure of casts and ingots consist of three, two or only one crystallisation zone. In steel ingots, its most frequent by consist of three zones: ch...
متن کاملSelection of Mould Fluxes for Production of High Quality Steel Ingots
Introduction Ingot products account for 8.3% of the total crude steel produced in the world. It is produced either by top pouring or bottom pouring of the liquid in the moulds. The increasing demand for quality steels led to the evolution of bottom pouring technology for casting of steel ingots. This process constitutes of a set up involving pouring sprue and runner system to deliver liquid ste...
متن کاملComparison of Mechanical Behavior and Microstructure of Continuous Cast and Hot Worked CuZn40Al1 Alloy (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The performance of components produced by conventional route of a thermo mechanical process and those produced by continuous casting is interesting from different aspects of economy and technology. The performance of products in their service depends on their properties which are strongly influenced by production routes. In the present work the hardness, tensile and tensile-impact behaviors of ...
