摘要:The melting method of nickel-based superalloy is the decisive factor related to the alloy quality. Vacuum induction melting can effectively control the content of O, N, H and other gases and harmful impurities in alloy ingots, and accurately control the alloy composition. On this basis, the remelting of alloy (electroslag remelting and vacuum arc remelting) can further reduce the content of S, P and other harmful impurities, eliminate the defects such as component segregation and shrinkage cavity, and optimize the control of the solidification structure, so as to achieve the melting of large size and high-quality alloy ingots. This paper reviews the progress of the melting process of nickel-based superalloy, and focuses on the principles and characteristics of common melting technologies including vacuum induction melting, electroslag remelting, and vacuum arc remelting. The research progress of "vacuum induction melting + protective atmosphere electroslag remelting", "vacuum induction melting + vacuum arc remelting" duplex melting process and "vacuum induction melting + protective atmosphere electroslag remelting + vacuum arc remelting" triple melting process in nickel-based superalloy melting are discussed. Finally, some suggestions on the selection and development direction of nickel-based superalloy smelting process are propounded.

摘要:Yield rate is an important factor to be considered in the production of rolled ingot for die steel. The redesigns and optimizes of the original 3.0 t die steel ingot used in a steel plant are carried out by using Procast simulation software to simulate the temperature field, total setting time and internal defects during the solidification process, aiming to improve the yield rate under the premise of ensuring quality. The results showed that the total solidification time of new designed 3.1 t ingot is 1.78 h, and that of original 3.0 t ingot is 2.03 h, the total solidification time is reduced by 12.32%, and the ingot internal quality is good. On the premise of covering the existing rolling specifications and without increasing the rolling passes, the number of ingots is reduced from 5 to 4. The newly designed 3.1 t steel ingot is produced in small batch by using 40 t EAF-LF-VD die casting process. After initial rolling, it qualified the GB /T4162-2008 grade B flaw detection specification. The average yield rate of the optimized ingot is 83.76%, the average yield rate of the original ingot is 78.71%, and the average yield rate is 5.05% higher than the original.
摘要:The effect of Cr element in ultra-high strength cord steel on the microstructure and properties of LX82A wire rod and drawn wire is studied by JMatPro software, metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope and tensile properties test. The results show that:For the 82 grade cord steel,by reducing Mn content to 0.18% and increasing Cr content to 0.35%, the C curvel moves down to the right, and the strength of LX82A wire rod increases from 1 150 MPa to 1 175 MPa, and the strength of copper plated cord steel wire increases from 1 235 MPa to 1 290 MPa. The strength of finished wire is increased by 40 Mpa, and the strength of finished wire exceeds 3 650 MPa. Because the addition of Cr reduces the soxlet phase transformation temperature and refine the spacing of the lamellae , it improves the steel wire drawing hardening ability. Through the design and application of Cr element, it improves the steel wire drawing hardening ability, improves the strength of ultra-high strength cord steel, to achieve the high strength and toughness requirements of drawing steel wire.
摘要:As the diameter of the casing in the reservoir becomes larger and larger, and the well go deeper and deeper, the demand for strength and toughness of large-diameter perforating barrel becomes stronger. In order to ensure the safety of the perforating operation and improve the ability of the perforating barrel to resist external extrusion, it is necessary to improve the strength of the barrel and match higher impact toughness. Tianjin Pipe Corporation has developed big size Φ244.48 mm×11.99 mm high strength TP170P grade gun pipe. After heat treatment, the yield strength is over 1 200 MPa, and CVN 0 ℃ impact energy reaches to 110 J for longitudinal and 85 J for transversal. The gun pipe has good high temperature tensile performance and excellent low temperature impact toughness. At the high temperature condition of 300 ℃, the yield strength still reaches 1 056 MPa, and the low temperature impact toughness and brittle transition temperature is less than -40 ℃,this character assures the gun pipe can be used safely in the high temperature and ultra-deep well , it has cold toughness in cold areas , expanding the use range of the products. In addition, the steel grade has good resistance to hydrogen sulfide stress corrosion, hydrogen cracking ability and rolling thermal deformation ability.

摘要:Effect of different alloying processes on inclusions of 18Cr ultra-pure ferrite stainless steel during refining process were investigated by using industrial experiments and thermodynamic calculations. The results showed that the inclusion type of 18Cr ultra-pure ferrite stainless steel before titanium alloying is CaO-Al2O3-MgO, and the inclusion type changes to CaO-Al2O3-MgO-TiOX after titanium alloying. After titanium alloying, the number density of inclusions and the weight percentage of TiOX in Nb-Ti double stable heats number (Ti: 0.181%, Nb: 0.147%) are lower than those in single Ti stable heats number (Ti: 0.324%).
摘要:The Peroxidation of molten steel at the end of the converter will not only lead to the decrease of alloy yield and the increase of smelting cost, but also lead to the increase of deoxidation products and the poor cleanliness of molten steel. Therefore, it is always the key point of process control to avoid the peroxide of molten steel at the end of converter. Aiming at the problem of terminal peroxide of 100 t converter in a domestic factory, this study finds that the average scrap ratio of this factory is up to 26%, the average terminal C content is only 0.055%, and the average terminal temperature is 1 605 ℃. Without considering the heat balance in the furnace, the adoption of high scrap steel batching resulted in insufficient heat in the furnace, which forced the supplementary blowing to raise the temperature, resulting in a low hit rate of the terminal carbon and temperature, and then lead to the problem of molten steel peroxidation. Therefore, from the perspective of optimizing the burden design, this study establishes the calculation model of the maximum scrap ratio based on the raw material conditions of the plant. In the actual production, the raw material conditions are comprehensively considered to add scrap, which reduces the number of heats requiring supplementary blowing for temperature rise. After the application of the model, the end point temperature of converter increases by 10 ℃, the end point carbon content increases by 0.036%, and the oxygen content of molten steel decreases by 206.3×10-6. The data shows that the effect of cost reduction and quality improvement is significant

摘要:In the continuous casting of high titanium wire steel, TiN inclusions generated in liquid steel can easily induce the formation of "floater", which leads to surface defects and even the steel leakage . In order to solve the above problems, the absorption of TiN inclusion by the mold slag for the casting of high titanium wire steel was studied by thermodynamic calculation, and methods of rotating column and high-temperature confocal. Thermodynamic calculation results show that SiO2 and Al2O3 in CaO-SiO2 slag can react with TiN, and SiO2 has a stronger ability to react with TiN. The experiment of rotating column show that it can be seen that the dissolution ability of TiN column is limited, and the reaction occurs at the interface between TiN and mold slag. High temperature confocal experiment show that TiN is easily oxidized by air, and it also can be oxidized by mold slag according to the change of the total amount of samples before and after the reaction. Therefore, it is feasible to reduce occurance of floater through the oxidization of TiN by the oxidizing component in the mold slag.

It was found that the electromagnetic torque increased with the increase of the crystalliser electromagnetic stirring, and the increase was gradually increased. The higher the current intensity, the more significant the effect of frequency on the torque enhancement. The current intensity ranges from 0 to 200 A, the isometric crystal rate increases with the increase of current strength and electromagnetic torque, and the isometric crystal rate and electromagnetic torque is linearly related. Negative subcutaneous segregation occurs at a current intensity of 150 A. Compared to a current intensity of 50 A, a more severe positive segregation of intergranular transformation occurs at a current intensity of 150 A.

摘要:The effects of heating temperature and holding time on the austenite grain growth behavior of SCr420H gear steel samples with different AlN precipitation states were experimentally investigated. The equilibrium precipitation and dissolution law of AlN precipitates in the experimental steel was calculated by Thermo-Calc thermodynamic calculation software, and the precipitation behavior of AlN in the experimental steel was studied by field emission transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the hot-rolled and air-cooled samples are mixed grain structure after being carburized for 0.5 h at 950-1 050 ℃, and the average austenite grain size level is below grade 5. The austenite grains of the samples after 1 210 ℃ solution-water quenching treatment do not grow up after carburizing at 950-1 000 ℃ for 0.5-6 h or at 1 050 ℃ for 0.5-2 h, the austenite grain size level is grade 9.5-10. The abnormal grain growth phenomenon occurs after 2 hours carburizing at 1 050 ℃. The sample after 1 210 ℃ solution-water quenching is isothermally treated at 700 °C for 1 h and then water-cooling so that it can be carburized at 1 050 °C for 8 h without abnormal grain growth or mixed grain structure, the average austenite grain size is 14 µm, the grain size level is grade 9.4. The growth behavior of austenite grains during carburization process is mainly controlled by the solubility and the ripening rate of the secondary phase AlN in the sample. The size of AlN precipitates in the solution-treated sample after carburization at 1 050 ℃ for 0.5 h is less than 80 nm, with an average size of 27.8 nm. 14.3% AlN particles larger than 100 nm appear in the sample after carburization at 1 050 ℃ for 2.5 h, with an average size of 64.2 nm.
摘要:The strong plasticity technology of 100Si steel Φ14 mm wire rod is studied by measuring the isothermal TTT curve of 100Si steel wire rod and designing off-line salt bath heat treatment process experiment. The results show that the nasal tip temperature of 100Si steel is about 580 ℃, and the shortest incubation period of the isothermal transition is about 5 s, and the isothermal phase transition behavior of 100Si steel is very sensitive to temperature; With the increase of salt bath isothermal temperature (510 - 580 ℃ ), the tensile strength and reduction of area of wire rod basically decrease; With the increase of off-line austenitizing temperature, the pearlite pellet size of 100Si steel rod increases; Compared with hot rolled wire rod, the distribution of the lamellar spacing of the bottom wire rod by salt bath heat treatment is more concentrated, and the lamellar spacing decreases with the decrease of salt bath temperature; When the temperature is lower than 920 ℃, V in 100Si steel can be precipitated in austenite with the form of VC, and the precipitation of VC in ferritin occurs after pearlite transformation; At the lower austenitizing temperature and the lower salt bath temperature, the mass fraction of VC particles precipitated is less, which can weaken the precipitation strengthening; The hot-rolled wire rod with 920 ℃ off-line austenitizing and 530 ℃ salt bath isotherm has the best balance between the strengthening effect of sorbitic phase and precipitation strengthening effect, the better mechanical properties are tensile strength 1 650 MPa and reduction of area 32.5% .

摘要:The study of P80 on-line solid solution process was tested by Gleeble 3800 thermal simulation testing machine, and the results showed that the open cooling temperature ranged from 870 ℃ to 930 ℃, the lower the temperature, and the higher the hardness, the higher the variance and the lower the hardness fluctuation after the on-line solid solution and aging.

摘要:The reasons for the total decarbonization failure of 30CrMnSiNi2A cold drawing hexagonal steel are analyzed, the results show that when the deformation amount of cold drawing is in the critical deformation range, the grains in the cold deformation area are coarse after annealing at 690 ℃, which affects the determination of total decarbonization. The recrystallized grains in the cold deformation zone area are refined after heat treatment when the single drawing deformation is between 21% and 30%. Therefore the accuracy of total decarbonization determination is eliminated because the deformation is in the critical deformation interval and the grain is coarse after drawing annealing.Through the production practice, the single deformation of cold drawing is controlled in the range of 20%-25%, and reduce annealing temperature to 630 ℃, the total decarbonization of S22 mm cold drawing rolled reaches the standard requirements, and the decarbonization improvement effect is obvious.
摘要:The oxidation scale of low carbon steel, low alloy steel and alloy steel containing Cr at different temperatures, the thickness of scale and phase analysis of scale are studied, the results show that the alloy steel wire containing Cr is easy to produce Fe3O4 when oxidized at 850 ℃, and Fe2O3 is the main oxidation scale during slow cooling. It is easy to produce the oxidation scale structure with Fe3O4 as the main component when the alloy steel wire containing Cr is spun at about 850 ℃ during normal rolling and slowly cooling, which is disadvantageous to the subsequent pickling and descaling. The FeO content can be increased to improve the descaling performance of iron oxide scale by increasing the spinning temperature above 900 ℃ and opening the insulation cover after spinning.
