Abstract
DECARBURISATION PROCESS OF NICKEL PIG IRON. Nickel Pig Iron or NPI is ferronickel containing less than 15% nickel with sulfur and phosphorus levels higher than ferronickel. NPI is made from low-grade laterite nickel ore, Ni <1.8% which are widely available in Indonesia. The NPI is mainly use as a raw material for making stainless steel and nickel alloy steel. Nickel provides more value in the form of corrosion resistance, ductility, strength and improve weldability properties better than ordinary steel wihout containing of nickel. The aims of this research are to study decarburisation process of NPI with carbon content 3-4% to produce very low carbon laterite steel, C <0.03%. The method used was a laboratory-scale experiment for 200 kg of molten metal. The raw material is melted in electric induction furnace 500 kg capacity, then the liquid metal is poured into the converter. Furthermore, oxygen is blown to the surface of molten metal using a lance pipe coated with refractory materials. Decarburisation process was successfully conducted by blowing oxygen 160 kg / ton of molten metal within 24 minutes, producing very low carbon laterite steel where C = 0.01%.
期刊介绍:
The journal Metalurgija is primary scientific periodical that publishes scientific papers (original papers, preliminary notes, reviewed papers) as well as professional papers from the area of basic, applicable and developing researching in metallurgy and boundary metallurgy areas (physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering). These papers relate to processing ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, treating investigating as well as testing of raw materials, semi products and products, especially in the area of improving new materials and possibilities of their implementation. The journal is the only national periodical of this kind in the Republic of Croatia and covers the scientific field of metallurgy, especially:
physical metallurgy and materials;
process metailurgy, (ferrous and non-ferrous);
mechanical metallurgy (processing, power , etc.);
related (adjoing) branches: mechanlcal engineering, chemistry, physics etc.
