abstract

mold powders are fluxing agents used as raw materials in the steel industry, which play very important role inprocessing stability and final surface quality of a product. surface quality depends particularly on the viscosity and the heat transfer of infiltrated mold flux between the mold wall and the solidified steel shell. heat flux across the interfacial gap depends on thermal properties of slag layer and its thickness, which is affected by slag properties such as melting, crystallization behavior, and temperature-dependent viscosity. among all of the components of these powders, fluorine mainly controls the viscosity, solidification temperature and crystallization behavior of mold flux films. however, the volatilization and acidification of the fluoride is a significant health hazard andcauses environmental pollution and intensifies the erosion to continuous caster. in this study, tio2 is used as a substitution to fluorine in commercial start flux. the substitution possibility was examined by measuring the viscosity and crystallization behavior, when it was compared with the properties of industrial powder. in present study, devitrification has been investigated by dta non-isothermal experiments. it has been shown that titanium dioxide tends to increase crystallization temperature with increasing the formation of perovskite crystalline phase and this causes a decrease in heat flux between the strand and the copper mold. on the other hand, slag viscosity was decreased with increasing titanium dioxide and na2co3 content. further xrd characterizations have provided a similar fraction of crystalline phases through riaz method in the industrial powder and low fluorine sample with 8wt% tio2.

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

The Influence of Hematite on High Speed Continuous Casting of Steel Lubricating Powders: Viscosity and Crystallization

Mold powders used in the continuous casting of steel contain the harmful CaF2 as a main substance developing toxic gases such as SiF4 and HF at elevated temperatures. In this study, three samples of I1, I2 and I3, which contained gypsum free Portland cement clinker with different percentages of Fe2O3 (5.68, 6.83, 8.02 ...

the impact of attending efl classes on the level of depression of iranian female learners and their attributional complexity

می توان گفت واقعیت چند لایه ا ی کلاس های زبان انگلیسی بسیار حائز اهمیت است، زیرا عواطف و بینش های زبان آموزان تحت تاثیر قرار می گیرد. در پژوهش پیش رو، گفته می شود که دبیران با در پیش گرفتن رویکرد فرا-انسانگرایی ، قادرند در زندگی دانش آموزانشان نقش مهمی را ایفا سازند. بر اساس گفته ی ویلیامز و بردن (2000)، برای کرل راجرز، یکی از بنیان گذاران رویکرد انسانگرایی ، یادگیری بر مبنای تجربه، نوعی از یاد...
