چکیده
J. Hampl, B. Smetana, VŠB-TU Ostrava, Faculty of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering, Czech Republic J. Odehnal, PILSEN STEEL, s.r.o., Pilsen, Czech Republic The paper analyzes the technological parameters, micro-purity and mechanical properties of castings of steel alloyed with calcium. The effect of calcium on the steel was analyzed on samples taken in the process of casting heavy castings and ingots of the weight of ranging from 40 000 to 60 000 kg. Samples for the determination of the liquidus temperature and the solidus temperature of cast steels were analysed using differential thermal analysis (DTA). The production of low alloyed steel grades was performed on the EAF ASEA-SKF facilities and the production of highalloyed steels on the EAF ASEA-SKF SS-VOD facilities. The purity calcium was added into the steel by the injection of a stuffed profile.

متن کاملEFFECT OF CERAMIC FOAM FILTERS ON OXIDES REMOVAL AND THE TENSILE PROPERTIES OF A-356 ALLOY CASTINGS
This article examines the Weibull statistical analysis that was used for investigating the effect of melt filtration on tensile properties and defects formed inside the casting. Forming and entrapping of double oxide films have been explained by using the context of critical velocity of melt in the runner. SutCast software results were used to examine the amounts of the velocity of melt as...
