On the boundary of any two phases a transition region is formed, designated as interphase, the composition of which is not identical with composition of the internal part of any of two phases. This transition region – interphase – is formed by effect of surface forces, given by the character and composition of both contacting phases, and its thickness is usually of the order of molecular dimens...

AlSi10Mg inclined struts with angle of 45° were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) using different scanning speed and hatch spacing to gain insight into the evolution of the molten pool morphology, surface roughness, and dimensional accuracy. The results show that the average width and depth of the molten pool, the lower surface roughness and dimensional deviation decrease with the inc...

Bottom-blowing, as widely adopted in electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking technology, stir the molten bath by blowing inert gas (Ar, N2) from the bottom of EAF to promote fluid flow and uneven metallurgical reaction in the molten bath. However, for eccentric structure design of electric arc furnace, the problem still exists in EBT(Eccentric Bottom Tapping)area. In this study, by the analysis ...

The factors which distinguish molten salts from other non-aqueous solvents are described and the range of systems available outlined. Some illustrative examples of the various classes of reactions carried out in molten salts are then given. These include the exchange of halides and pseudohalides in organic and inorganic compounds, organic chlorinations, eliminations and rearrangements, a consid...

Abstract The use of molten-salt–based energy production and storage systems requires high-temperature corrosion- creep-resistant structural materials. This study investigated the microstructure evolution corrosion characteristics Hastelloy N under working stress in a molten salt environment. Selective diffusion Cr at grain boundaries (GBs) degraded properties GBs, making them preferred location...

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 ) and f- (2.09, 1.06, 0), were prepared and their main characteristics were c...

Laser surface modi® cation with alloying or remelting often yields unstable results. To achieve on-line control, process sensing and estimation are the key technologies. This paper introduces molten pool imaging as laser processing feedback. Well-contrasted molten pool images are acquired in experiments by eliminating the strong light from spatter and plasma. An algorithm for real-time image pr...
