      摘要:According to the analysis and assumption of the low-carbon development of the iron and steel industry, the future iron and steel production and manufacturing processes will gradually evolve into three categories: blast furnace-converter long process, all-scrap electric arc furnace short process and hydrogen metallurgy-electric furnace process.The key factors affecting the carbon emission level of the three types of processes include process structure, raw material structure, energy structure, product structure, equipment level, management level, technical level, etc. This paper uses the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" analysis model (CISRI-CPCN) constructed by China Iron and Steel Research Institute to draw a carbon reduction roadmap for the three types of processes.The research results show that the carbon emission of the three types of processes decreases annually. From 2020 to 2060, the CO2 emission of the long process will be reduced from 2.0 t/t (steel) to 0.87 t/t (steel), and carbon neutrality can be achieved through carbon sinks, carbon trading and other means. In 2050, the short process will be reduced from 0.45 t/t (steel) to close to 0, which is expected to achieve "near-zero carbon" smelting. In 2060, the hydrogen metallurgical electric arc furnace process (50% scrap steel + 50% hydrogen direct reduced iron raw material structure) will be reduced from 1.31 t/t (steel) to close to 0, basically achieving carbon neutrality. Comprehensively considering the development needs of the national economy, it is recommended that the steel industry gradually adjust the product structure of the three types of processes in the development of steel industry reduction in the future. The product structure of the long process should gradually transform into the production of flat products, especially high-end flat products, which are mainly distributed in coastal deep-water port areas. The short process should take the long products for construction as the entry point, gradually replace the small and medium-sized blast furnace-converter process, and partially produce single varieties such as combined steel and other high-quality special steel or stainless steel, mainly in the layout around cities with rich scrap steel resources. At present, the hydrogen metallurgy-electric furnace process is still in the stage of exploration and development, and many difficulties in green hydrogen, economy, technical reliability and engineering needed to be overcome.

      摘要:The technical characteristics of electric arc furnace steelmaking with direct reduced iron as a substitute for scrap steel are analyzed, and the main factors affecting the smelting power consumption are expounded . The results indicate that a large amount of steel left in melting pool (≥ 40%) and intensive mixing such as enhanced oxygen supply, bottom blowing, and electromagnetic stirring are important ways to promote melting and shorten the tap-to-tap cycle (which can be shortened by 8%-10%). The proportion of direct reducing iron exceeds 30%, continuous feeding should be used. The feeding speed in the early and middle stages of smelting is generally equal to the melting speed of 28-33 kg/min (power supply power is 1 MW). It is necessary to match lime and dolomite to prevent the erosion of slag line, and the whole smelting process should be sprayed with carbon foam slag to ensure the power supply efficiency. To reduce power consumption of smelting, direct reduction iron with high C content, high metallization rate, low SiO2 content, low P content, low S content, and higher temperature should be used as much as possible within a certain suitable range (that is, w[C] 1%-4.5%, metallization rate ≥ 90%, w[SiO2] ≤ 6%, w[P] ≤ 0.1%, w[S] ≤ 0.04%). The compact short process combining direct reduction iron vertical furnace and electric arc furnace is an important direction for low-carbon, energy-saving, and clean production.

      摘要:Based on the requirements of 400 km/h high-speed railway for high fatigue properties of axles, the mechanism of ultra-high fatigue performance of axle was analyze, the key to high fatigue performance was the size of fine carbide and martensite lath. The microstructure parameters such as the width of martensitic lath sheaf , the distribution of precipitated phases were determined as key control units affecting the yield strength of high-speed railway axle steel. The target microstructure of high-speed railway axle steel was designed, and the optimal alloy composition of 400 km/h high-speed railway axle steel was determined by high-throughput calculation. The developed high-speed rail axle with a speed of 400 km/h had good strength and toughness matching after quenching at 850-950 ℃ and high-temperature tempering at 620 ℃, with a tensile strength greater than 880 MPa and an impact energy of 180 J at -40 ℃. At the same time, the grain size and carbide size of the axle treated by this process are fine, and the grain size is refined to 9.0 level. Both high cycle and ultra-high cycle fatigue performance met the standards. After the overall heat treatment of the axle, the ultra-high cycle fatigue test of the small-sized sample was stable to level 3, and the fatigue limit was 517 MPa at 108 cycles, indicating a high fatigue limit. The overall fatigue performance of the axle was predicted through the sample reduction of the axle, and the predicted values were in good agreement with the actual values. The axle as a whole passed 107 cycles of fatigue assessment under a test force of 320 MPa.

      Smelting and Solidification

    • Ning Jing, Wang Ao, Bi Zhengxu, Xu Guangpeng, Yong Xi, Su Jie, Cheng Xingwang

      摘要:Meltflow-VAR software was employed to simulate the vacuum arc remelting process of ϕ660 mm large-scale ingot of M54 ultra-high strength steel, six processing curves with steady-state melting rates of 3.6, 3.9, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, and 5.1 kg/min were selected for the study. Calculation results showed that as the melting rate increased, the depth and volume of the molten pool increased. The molten pool was completely in contact with the crucible at the melting rate of 4.8 kg/min or above, resulting improved cooling effect. The primary dendrite spacing monotonically increased with the increase of melting rate, while the local solidification time and secondary dendrite spacing decreased with the increase of melting rate in the range of 3.6-4.8 kg/min, whereas no significant change in the range of 4.8-5.1 kg/min. To verify the simulation results, a melting rate of 4.2 kg/min was chosen for industrial trial production. The shape of the molten pool was in good agreement with the calculated results. The degree of macro-segregation in steel ingots was relatively low, while the degree of micro-segregation (dendrite segregation) could reach over 30%. Micro-segregation was positively correlated with the spacing between secondary dendrites in the presence of secondary dendrite structures, while positively correlated with the spacing between primary dendrites in the absence of secondary dendrite structures. Taking into account the influence of melting rate on the shape of the molten pool, dendrite spacing and element segregation, it is recommended to optimize the steady-state melting rate to 4.8 kg/min.

      摘要:Meltflow-VAR simulation method was used to study the effect of melting rate on the molten pool shape and macro segregation of low-cost corrosion-resistant high-strength stainless steel ingot during vacuum arc remelting, the morphology of molten pool changed form "shallow flat" to "U-shap", and finally to "deep V-shap", with the increasing of melting rate from 3.2 kg /min to 6.2 kg /min and the metal pool volume was gradually increased. The depth of molten pool increased from 120 mm to 175 mm with increasing the melting rate from 3.2 kg /min to 5.2 kg/min. When the melting rate exceeded 5.2 kg/min, the time to reach steady state was extended, the proportion of ingot cylindrical crystals increased, and the segregation degree of alloying elements was intensified. 4.2 kg /min was determined as the actual melting rate, the mushy zone width was narrow, and the molten pool depth was 140 mm in the stable melting stage. The metallurgical quality of the ingot remelted at 4.2 kg/min was evaluated, the alloy compositions at different positions of the ingot at the said melting speed had good uniformity, the result of macrostructure inspection showed that there was no obvious macrostructure defects in the ingot. After homogenization at 1 220 ℃ for 4 h, the micro segregation of C, Cr, Ni and Mo elements in the steel was significantly improved .

      摘要:In this paper, the effects of two types of electroslag remelting slag systems on the content of the quantity, size, and distribution of inclusions in C-HRA-3 heat-resistant alloy electroslag ingots was investigated by using a 10 kg level protective atmosphere electroslag remelting furnace. The results show that the liquidus temperature of 60% CaF2-20% Al2O3-10% CaO-10% MgO based slag system is 1 417 ℃, the liquidus temperature of new type 50.4% CaF2-26.1% Al2O3-19.5% CaO-4% MgO based slag system is 1 324 ℃ and the new type slag system has a narrow temperature range between solidus and liquidus, and the resistivity of liquid slag is high, which can ensure the high melting rate and stable smelting of C-HRA-3 alloy electroslag remelting. The inclusions in the electroslag ingots produced by two slag systems mainly include oxides, carbonitrides, and sulfides. The number of inclusions at the edge of the electroslag ingots is similar to that of the consumable electrode, and the number of inclusions from the edge to the center of the electroslags shows a gradually decreasing trend. Moreover the average size of oxide inclusions in electroslag ingots smelted with two slag systems is respectively 3.019 μm and 2.341 μm. Along different radial positions of the new type slag system smelting electroslag ingot, the proportion of oxide inclusions with size > 3 μm is smaller, which has a more significant removal effect on large-sized oxide inclusions in C-HRA-3 alloy.

      摘要:With regard to the whole production process of N08120 nickel-based thick plate, the precipitation law of material in each process was analyzed by using metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope and Thermo-Calc software. The results indicate that the main precipitation type in N08120 nickel base alloy thick plate is Z phase, accompanied by dispersed MX precipitation phase, which are distributed in strips along the rolling direction. Besides, σ phase, M23C6 precipitation and transition state from MX to Z phase are also found in ingots and forging billets during production. The analysis reveals that during the mould casting process, the internal heat dissipation of the ingot is slow, which is beneficial to the transformation of NbN to Z phase, and the ingot surface is found to have σ phase precipitation during the die cooling process when it stays at medium and low temperature for a long time. The forging billet and rolling plate are air-cooled after deformation, the main precipitation phase types are Z phase and MX phase. After solution treatment, the species and distribution of precipitated phases in plate have not changed obviously, indicating that Z phase and MX phase have rapid precipitation rate and high thermal stability.

      Vol. 44, Issue 5, Pages: 90-96(2023) DOI: 10.20057/j.1003-8620.2023-00023
      摘要:A single pass hot deformation experiment was carried out on 9Cr3W3Co alloy by using Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator at the temperature of 950-1 150 ℃, the strain rate of 0.1-10 s-1 and the deformation of 70.9%. In order to better simulate the on-site process, the multi pass deformation process simulation simulation was carried out by using the scheme of the pass deformation from large to small and the pass deformation from small to large. The strain rate was 5.0 s-1, and the total deformation amount was 70.9%.The deformation characteristics of dynamic recrystallization behavior of 9Cr3W3Co alloy used for steam turbine blades were studied, the stress-strain curve of the alloy was obtained, and the dynamic material model is used to construct the 3 D thermal processing diagram of the alloy under different deformation conditions. The results indicate that the stress-strain curve of 9Cr3W3Co alloy shows that the stress decreases with the increase of deformation temperature and increases with the increase of strain rate. In order to accurately describe the relationship between the three, the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation is established, and finally its thermal activation energy is 655.051 kJ/mol. Combined with the analysis of the results of microstructure evolution, it is concluded that the best hot working area of the alloy should be: deformation temperature 1 050-1 150 ℃, strain rate 0.1-1 s-1. In the process of rapid forging deformation, the forging process of first large deformation and then small deformation is conducive to obtaining uniform grain size.

      摘要:The high-temperature tensile thermal deformation processes of continuously cast and mold cast S30432 steel tube billets in same heat were investigated using the Gleeble thermal simulation machine, different thermal simulation conditions were set for temperature series of 1 000, 1 050, 1 100, and 1 150 ℃, and strain rates of 0.1, 1, and 5 s-1.The high-temperature stress-strain curves of continuously cast and mold cast S30432 steel billets from in same heat were obtained for both types of billets under various high-temperature tensile conditions, and these curves were corrected and fitted to align as closely as possible with actual experimental situations. The constitutive equations for the hot deformation of the continuously cast and mold cast S30432 steel billets from the same heat were derived through fitting, and a comparative analysis of the high-temperature hot plasticity differences between the two processing methods was conducted. The results indicated that the hot plasticity of both types of billets exhibited certain regularities at different tensile temperatures and rates, the continuously cast tube billets showed more significant fluctuations in hot plasticity and were slightly inferior to the mold cast tube billets in overall performance, providing insights for improving and optimizing the piercing process of the tube billets. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to characterize the microstructural features of the high-temperature tensile fracture surfaces, it was observed that the predominant fracture mode at high temperatures was ductile rupture, with most fracture surfaces exhibiting dimple features. However, under specific conditions, some samples of continuously cast tube billets exhibited poor hot plasticity and its fracture form was transformed into brittle fracture patterns. For the high-temperature plastic processing of S30432 steel continuously cast tube billets, it is recommended to employ higher strain rates and temperatures to achieve enhanced processing performance.

      摘要:The evolution law of substructure of CN-1515 austenitic stainless steel cladding tube after cold processing was studied by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and EBSD (Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction) . It showed that with the increase of cold rolling deformation, the annealing twins were reduced, the number of deformation twins was gradually increased, the twinning width and the twin spacing were continuously smaller, and the twin width was reduced from 0.03-0.043 μm to <0.02 μm when the deformation was at 15% and 25%, while the size of dislocation cells tended to become larger first and then smaller. In addition, the morphology of deformed twins kept straight all the time under cold rolling conditions, and twin boundary bending occurred during cold drawing. Under the same amount of deformation, more deformation twins would be produced in cold drawing than in cold rolling.

      摘要:Through the standard detection and rating the metallurgical quality of the high clean bearing steel prepared by vacuum degassing process, such as chemical composition, macrostructure, carbide inhomogeneity and non-metallic inclusions, and quantitative analysis of the quantity, type, size and cleanliness index of non-metallic inclusions in the steel is carried out by Aspex scanning analyzer. Based on the rolling contact fatigue life test results, the relationship between non-metallic inclusions and bearing steel contact fatigue life was established. The results show that the oxygen content of high clean bearing steel is not more than 0.000 5%, the titanium content is not more than 0.000 8% and the large particle inclusions DS is not more than 0.5, however it is still a contact fatigue failure mechanism dominated by inclusions, among which the size of oxide inclusions are large and there are holes around the inclusions, which is easy to cause stress concentration and fatigue cracks. The maximum size of oxide inclusions in high clean bearing steel is controlled below 10 μm, and the rated life L10 under 4.5 GPa high contact stress is more than 1×107 times, which is expected to replace electroslag remelting bearing steel for high-speed rail, high-speed machine tool spindle, wind power spindle and other high-end equipment fields.

      摘要:The high nitrogen stainless bearing steel (HNSBS) with the merits of high strength, high hardness, long life, and superior corrosion resistance has become a popular topic in the development of novel bearing materials. This paper uses methods such as rotatory bending fatigue (RBF) test to study the effect of heat treatment process on the fatigue performance and crack initiation mechanism of 30Cr15Mo1N HNSBS. The results show that the tensile strength of the HNSBS quenched at 1 050 ℃ and tempered at 180 ℃ is 1 985.3 MPa, with the hardness of 60.5HRC and the RBF strength of 867 MPa. After tempering at 500 ℃, the hardness is equivalent to 180 ℃, with the tensile strength of 2 257.6 MPa and the RBF of 1 020 MPa. And it is found that the crack sources in 180 ℃ sample are mainly the matrix and inclusions, the crack source causing the fatigue crack initiation of the 500 ℃ tempering sample is usually the side defect. The reduction of internal stress concentration in the matrix structure caused by high-temperature tempering is the main reason for the transformation of crack source type and the improvement of fatigue performance. This article conducts in-depth research on the fatigue behavior and crack initiation phenomenon of (HNSBS), providing experimental and theoretical basis for the formulation of heat treatment processes and the study of fatigue resistance mechanisms of (HNSBS).
