We consider the problem of dynamic coupling between the rapid thermal solidification and mechanical compression of steel in twin-roll steel strip casting. In traditional steel casting, molten steel is first solidified into thick slabs and then compressed via a series of rollers to create thin sheets of steel. In twin-roll casting, these two processes are combined, thereby making control of the ...

We present the results of our numerical simulation of the dynamic response and deformation of 1 m diameter circular DH-36 steel plates and DH-36 steel-polyurea bilayers, subjected to blast-like loads. Different thicknesses of the polyurea are considered and the effect of polyurea thickness on the performance of steel plates under blast loads is investigated. For each polyurea thickness, we have...

The first part of the project is mainly about changing of slag compositions and see it affect on the inclusions in the ladle furnace. The second part of the project is to study the influence of stirring (EMGAS) on the large inclusions in the steel by changing stirring conditions. The project has done at Uddeholm AB, Hagfors. First, the scrap is melted in ARC furnace then moved to the ladle de-s...

This paper studies a bidisperse granular mixture consisting of two species of stainless steel spheres in a vertically vibrated compartmentalized container. The experiments show that with proper vibration acceleration, the granular clock stops when horizontal segregation of the large spheres residing in the far end from the barrier wall occurs. When the segregation is broken, the granular clock ...

Ti–6Al–4V powder preforms containing parallel layers of steel wiremeshes are sintered into composites. Elongatedmacropores are created by electrochemical dissolution of the steel wires, and equiaxedmicroccepted 17 August 2009

1 The high cost of empirical investigation in an operating steel plant makes it prudent to use all available tools in designing, troubleshooting and optimizing the process. Physical modeling, such as using water to simulate molten steel, enables significant insights into the flow behavior of liquid steel processes. The complexity of the continuous casting process and the phenomena which govern ...

thin-walled hollow steel columns, either circular or box shaped, are commonly used as piers in bridges. recent earthquakes, e.g. hyogoken-nanbu or kobe 1995, on the other hand have shown that these columns are vulnerable to damage when subjected to earthquake loading. this paper presents a new innovative thin-walled hollow steel column fabricated of corrugated plates, “thin-walled steel columns...

Friction coefficient and wear rate of different steel materials are investigated and compared in this study. In order to do so, a pin on disc apparatus is designed and fabricated. Experiments are carried out when different types of disc materials such as stainless steel 314 (SS 314), stainless steel 202 (SS 202) and mild steel slide against stainless steel 314 (SS 314) pin. Experiments are cond...
