    Study on trial production of nitrogen microalloyed reinforced bar
    Steelmaking    2014, 30 (1): 1-5.  
    Abstract275)            Save
    The study on trial production of HRB400E using the new technique of nitrogen microalloying had been carried out. It was found that the
    billet had a thermoplastic brittle zone within the temperature range between 750 and 850 ℃. By controlling the continuous casting process,
    cast billet of highquality had been successfully produced. The final rebar had high tensile strength and suitable yield ratio as well as stable
    aging performance, and metallurgical structure showed that it consisted of ferrite and pearlite. Further analysis revealed that the improvement
    in the strength of newlydeveloped Nmicroalloyed rebar was mainly due to the precipitation of secondaryphase particles with diameter
    from 5 to 30 nm. This new technique of nitrogen microalloying could save the usage of vanadium element by approximately 40 % to 60 %.
    It made the cost of steel per ton decrease 4060 yuan and created obvious economic profits through adopting the production technology.

    Abstract194)            Save
    Investigation on decarburization process in 180 t RH of Shasteel had been conducted, and the effect of initial condition of liquid steel,
    vacuum pressure,liftgas flowrate and oxygen blowing time on decarburization process had been explored. The experimental results indicated
    that there were three stages during the decarburization process: the decarburization rate constant was very low at the first and third stage, and the second stage was the major decarburization period with the largest decarburization rate constant. By decreasing the initial w(C)/w(O) ratio and the product of w(C)·w(O), the duration of the first stage would be shortened and the decarburization rate constant of the second stage would be increased. The decarburization rate constant would be increased when increasing the exhausting rate constant. If the time to reach the lowest pressure in chamber was less, the carbon content at decarburization end was lower. Blowing oxygen after mid period and increasing the liftgas flowrate from 113 m3 to 150 m3 after decarburization treatment for 7 minutes had no influence on decarburization process.

    A full scale water model was built to investigate the effect of bottom-design (mountain-, wave-, well-, flat-and round bottom) of submerged entry nozzles (SENs) on jet characteristics, backflow zone area and jet symmetry in continuous casting slab mold with propeller velocimeter and camera recording. The results show that the jet characteristic is stable for mountain- and wave-bottom SEN, however, shows a swirl flow for well-, flat- and round-bottom SEN with an alternative anticlockwise and clockwise rotating. The order of backflow zone area (BFZ) is: mountain-bottom>wave-bottom >well-bottom>flat-bottom>round-bottom, plant trial results show that the large backflow zone is one cause for nozzle clogging. Furthermore, the order of jet velocity asymmetry degree is similar to that order in high speed casting (steel throughput: 4.48 t/min). The spectrum powder analysis of jet velocity fluctuations show that the jet with mountain- and wave- bottom SEN have less turbulence but more kinetic energy than any other SENs, which result in larger backflow zone. While round bottom SEN has much turbulent yet less kinetic energy jet, which result in smaller backflow zone.

    Abstract162)            Save
    The viscosity of the mold powder and the crystallization rates, mineral compositions of solidified slag samples were analyzed on the basis of the study in industrial mold powder and slag film. The result shows that: The mineral composition of in industrial mold powder are wollastonite, quartz, fluorite and sodium carbonate. The crystalline phase of flux film of nothing wrong on casting slab quality is melilite, and the crystallization rate is 90 %. With the content of fluorite being increased, the viscosity of the mold powder is reduced, and with the test temperature declined, the viscosity is elevated. The mineral composition of solidified slag are melilite, cuspidine and glassiness. With the content of fluorite being increased, the crystallization rates and the contents of cuspidine is increased, the content of melilite is reduced.

    Improvement of processing the data of level fluctuation at continuous casting mold
    Steelmaking    2014, 30 (2): 70-74.  
    Abstract176)            Save
    The original data of mold level measurement during continuous casting are not level fluctuation but level position varied with time. In the current study, the real level fluctuation were obtained by subtracting the smoothed value from the measured level position data. The effect of operation parameters of continuous casting on level fluctuation at the mold were discussed. Unsteady continuous casting resulted in greater fluctuation than steady state. With increased casting speed and larger mold width, the level fluctuation became more serious with larger amplitude. With 1.8 m/min casting speed, with FC-Mold electromagnetic brake the level fluctuation slightly decreased than that without FC-Mold. The fluctuation vertical velocity of mold level was obtained by perform derivative of the level fluctuation, which affected the entrapment of casting powder during continuous casting.

    Design and optimization of 120 t RH refining feeding system
    Steelmaking    2014, 30 (2): 75-78.  
    Abstract145)            Save
    In this article the 120 t RH feeding system in Masteel Electric Furnace Plant was studied. The technological layout and the composition of feeding system, the problem of the RH feeding system which have put into production were summaried. And the design of the feeding system from four aspects as feeding time,weighing accuracy,unplanned feeding and vacuum rotary slide pipe were optimized. The good effect was achieved. The feeding system was put into production, the goal of energy saving and consumption reducing was achieved,and the design idea of RH feeding system was broadened.
