Stainless steel particles (60 μm in mean diameter) cladded with an alumina shell (2 μm thick and manufactured by mechanofusion) were sprayed with an Ar-H2 (53-7 slm) d.c. plasma jet (I = 500 A, P = 28 kW, th = 56 %). Two main types of particles were collected in flight, as close as 50 mm downstream of the nozzle exit: particles with a steel core with pieces of alumina unevenly distributed at t...

In the conventional continuous casting of steel, either mold powder or oil can be added to lubricate the mold from sticking to the solidifying steel shell. The mold powder melts to form a molten slag or flux layer, and also acts to protect the molten steel from oxidation, to insulate the molten steel from heat loss, to absorb inclusions from the molten steel, to regulate heat transfer to mold w...

Any material that can be used in the construction of a building is called material. Concrete, reinforced concrete, steel, aluminum, wood, tile, plaster, etc., known as materials. Fire chemical event occurs result combination matter with heat and oxygen. protection study practice reducing undesirable effects destructive fires. It includes behavior, suppression investigation fire. In this study, ...

Microstructures and Charpy impact properties have been examined in two microalloyed steels following heat treatments to simulate weld heat affected zone (HAZ) structures over a range of heat input conditions, characterised by the cooling time from 800 to 500 !C (Dt8/5). The base materials were low carbon structural steel plates microalloyed with vanadium and nitrogen (V–N) and niobium (Nb), res...

An attempt has been made to determine the strength and impact properties of Cr-Mo steel weld and base materials by varying the current during manual metal arc welding. Toughness over a temperature range from -32 to 100°C of base, heat affected zone (HAZ) and weld zones at three current settings are made. It is observed that the deterioration in notch toughness at any zone with the temperature d...

This paper deals with the possibility of reducing carbon content by heat treatment in reactive atmospheres in order to improve plastic deformations properties of steel sheets. The heat treatment involves a decarburation annealing after a cold rolling, as opposed to the traditional process that performs the heat treatment in non-reactive atmospheres. Some of the most relevant variables were stud...

the effect of metallurgical parameters influencing the susceptibility of the steel grades, used for gas and oil pipe, to hydrogen induced cracking and sulfide stress corrosion cracking has been studied. the study of the recent investigations suggests that the shape and the nature of inclusions, microstructures, sulfur content and desulfurization as well as the nature of alloying elements in ste...

In this paper the description of the simplest variant of conservative averaging method for partial differential (or integro-differential) equations in cylinder type domain is given. Different types of boundary conditions (both linear and non-linear) are considered. As application of the method the process of intensive steel quenching as the time inverse ill-posed problem for the hyperbolic heat...

Components were developed for the modeling of industrial furnaces in the iron and steel industry like pusher-type and walking beam furnaces. A cell model on the basis of the dynamic pipe model of the Modelica Fluid Library was designed. The cell model computes the heat transfer between furnace walls, flue gas and the processed steel goods. The radiative heat transfer is modeled by a 1-dimension...
