Lithium is the lightest of all metals and the third element in the periodic table. Recent years, lithium salts have become an important input for the energy industry. Lithium carbonate and hydroxides are the basic building blocks of Li-ion battery production. The usage areas of lithium compounds are not limited to only energy; they are also utilized in heavy-duty machines, in the aluminum industry, in nuclear power plants and for glass, ceramics, frit, and coatings in industrial sectors. Lithium has also been found to be very useful in the development of harder, smoother, and more resistant low-temperature glasses, glazes, and enamels. It is also used in very-low-melting-point vitreous compositions like aluminum enamels, colors, fluxes, and glass-seals. The use of lithium also helps in the development of low-expansion bodies, glazes, and glasses. In this study, it is intended to explore the adherence forces in the steel sheet application of different amounts of lithium in enamel frit composition and to examine surface characteristics such as ease of cleaning, gloss, and color. For chemical characterization, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry and color measurements were done with a Minolta CM-700d spectrometer device. Bond adherence tests were performed in accordance with the TS EN 10209 standard.

The objectives of the paper were twofold. The first was exploring possibility of fast and reliable modelling of phase transformations during cooling of steels, accounting for the evolution of the carbon concentration in the austenite. Existing discrete models require long computing times and their application to optimization of industrial processes is limited. Therefore, a model based on the modified JMAK equation was proposed. Control of the carbon concentration in the austenite during ferritic and bainitic transformations allowed to predict incomplete austenite transformation and occurrence of the retained austenite. Moreover, prediction of the onset of pearlitic transformation after the bainitic was possible. The model was validated by comparison the predictions with the results of physical simulations. Numerical simulations for various industrial processes were performed. Problem of the difference in the incubation time between isothermal and constant cooling rate tests was raised.

There are two problems to be solved in the numerical simulation of the top blown oxygen vacuum refining process. (1) The two-equation turbulence models underpredict the turbulence mixing shear process for high-temperature gradient jet flows. (2) The high compressibility of the jet in a low vacuum environment. In this study, the SST k-ω turbulence model is modified by the composite function of the compressibility factor and the total temperature gradient. Based on the experimental model of the Kotani vacuum jet, the modified turbulence model was used to simulate the supersonic jet behavior of oxygen lance at different ambient temperatures. The reliability of the model is verified by the semi-empirical formula of Ito and Muchi. The simulation results show that the entrainment rate is an important inducing factor. The potential core length and the supersonic core length at the temperature of 1800 K are 2.5 times and 2.0 times that at the temperature of 285 K, respectively. Besides, based on the ejection model established by Ricou and Spalding, the calculation formula of turbulence entrainment rate at different ambient temperatures is obtained. This research work will benefit greatly to the supersonic jet behavior in Vacuum Refining.

In this research, investigations were carried out on Al6061 base alloy with the changing weight percentage of silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) with keeping the amount of talc constant. The main objective of this present study was to improve the wear resistance of aluminum alloy using SiC/B4C/talc ceramic particles using stir-casting technique and how the eco-friendly talc content influencing the solid lubricity during the abrasion process. The experiments were conducted via orthogonal array of L27 using Taguchi’s method. The optimum value along with the coefficient of friction was obtained on the basis of grey relational equations and ANOVA, which helped in analysis of most influential input parameters such as applied load, sliding speed, sliding distance and percentage of reinforcement. Conformation tests were performed for the purpose of validation of the experimental results. The specimens were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) with EDX for micro structural studies. The SiC, B4C and talc presence in the composite helped to improve the mechanical properties, according to the results. The presence of solid lubricant talc as reinforcement to the aluminum hybrid composite reduced the wear properties and decreased the co-efficient friction. These wear resistance improved aluminum metal matrix composites could be used in automobile, defense and domestic applications where high strength and wear resistance required with lesser specific weight.

Fabrication with the in-situ formation of W2C reinforced medium carbon steel (MCS) MMC’s was attempted using W or WO3 and graphite addition to steel. The P/M route comprising milling, compaction and sintering at 1050 °C and 1120 °C respectively in 90% N2 + 10% H2 atmosphere was adopted. Both SEM and BET studies revealed the particle size to be around 100, 7 and 40 µm for MCS, W and WO3, respectively. A complete conversion of tungsten into tungsten semicarbide (W2C) was noted in XRD for the tungsten additions of ∼6, 9 and 12 wt.% with stoichiometrically balanced C (graphite) addition of 0, 0.2 and 0.4 wt.%. However, WO3 + C addition (balanced as above) revealed the partial conversion of WO3 to W2C. The peaks of Fe3C were observed only for MCS + W + C samples and not for MCS + WO3 + C samples in XRD. In SEM, the WO3 phase appeared porous and partially converted, whereas, W2C phase was dense. Sintered density improved for the addition of W, whereas it monotonically reduced for WO3 addition to MCS + C samples. Higher hardness, compressive strength, and wear resistance was noted for W addition than WO3 to MCS+C samples.

In this investigation, the effects of solution parameters on the microstructure and hardness of a Fe-Ni superalloy were studied. Samples were solutionized in temperature ranges of 900 °C to 1060 °C for the times of 0.5 h to 2.5 h, water quenched and aged at 720 °C for 16 h. for more structural examinations, some solutionized samples were aged at 800 °C and 860 °C for 8 h. The microstructure of the alloy was investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopes and the volume fraction of phases was measured by image analyzer software. The hardness of solutionized and aged specimens and tensile strength of aged samples at room temperature were also assessed. The results showed that hardness and ultimate tensile strength decrease with increasing solution temperature. It was found that increase in the solution temperature led to a decrease in volume fraction of η and carbide phases and an increase in the carbide sizes. It was also found that solution annealing time had no significant effect on the properties of the alloy.

Effect of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent annealing on the microstructure, mechanical properties and tribological behavior of grade A shipbuilding steel was investigated. Coarse-grained microstructure of initial sample is eliminated during the ECAP at 375 °C and more refined microstructure is achieved. Post-ECAP annealing at 575 °C results in some grain growth, and also the cementite lamellae in the pearlite colonies is broken and got spheroidised during the annealing treatment. ECAP increases strength and hardness of steel significantly while it decreases the ductility. On the other hand, post-ECAP annealing treatment brings about an increase in ductility and diminishes the hardness, as expected. Strain hardening capacity, ductility, hardness and oxidation rate were found to be the main factors affecting wear resistance of the grade A steel. It was found that high hardness and strength, good wear resistance with sufficiently high ductility can be achieved in the grade A steel by applying ECAP + annealing processes.

The effect of casting speed on slag-inclusion defects in 1050 × 200 mm ultra-low-carbon automobile steel (UAS) slabs was studied by performing nail plate experiments and by monitoring the liquid level fluctuations during the continuous casting process. The number, location, length, and proportion of slag-inclusion defects in hot-rolled coils produced at different casting speeds were analyzed. The results showed that the defects in the hot-rolled coils were mainly owing to the mold protective slag. For the continuous casting speed of 1.6 m/min, the fraction of slag-inclusion defects was the lowest (at 5.3%), and the number of slag-inclusion defects was lower than for the other casting speeds. The length of slag inclusions was under 900 mm. Furthermore, the number of slag-inclusion defects on the upper and lower surfaces was smaller than those for the other casting speeds. At different casting speeds, slag-inclusion defects mainly existed within 100 mm of the edge on both surfaces of hot-rolled coil plates. The fluctuation within the 0–1 mm range was 98.1% for the casting speed of 1.6 m/min, indicating that the flow rate of molten steel on both sides of the nozzle was relatively stable, which helps to control slag-inclusion defects in hot-rolled coils.

Microstructure, texture, inclusions and precipitates in Fe-2.97wt%Si non-oriented silicon steel during manufacture were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Organic Solvent Electrolysis and Electron Backscattered Diffraction(EBSD)techniques. The P10/400 , P15/50 and B50 of thin-gauge non-oriented silicon steel with 0.3 mm in thickness were 13.85 W/kg, 2.38 W/kg and 1.66 T, respectively. Due to annealing of hot rolled band, the size of precipitates increased. The precipitates are mostly located at the grain boundaries in the annealed sheet, the main and average size of the grain-boundary precipitates were in the range of 30 ∼ 500 nm and 63.2 nm, respectively. The pinning force caused by 100 ∼ 300 nm particles at the grain boundaries was the largest, 70 ∼ 100 nm was second. During annealing of hot rolled band, the α*-fiber texture significantly developed and γ -fiber dropped dramatically. The γ-fiber texture and α*-fiber texture composed the main textures of annealed sheet. The texture randomization would give rise to better magnetic properties compared to the γ -fiber.
