Numerical calculation of flow and heat transfer process in the new-type external combustion swirl-flowing hot stove

It is clarified that the important method to improve the blast temperature ofthe small and the middle blast furnaces whose production is about two-thirds of total sum of Chinafrom 1000℃ to 1250-1300℃ is to preheat both their combustion-supporting air and coal gas. The airtemperature of blast furnaces can be reached to 1250-1300℃ by burning single blast furnace coal gasif high speed burner is applied to blast furnaces and new-type external combustion swirl-flowinghot stove is used to preheat their combustion-supporting air. The computational results of the flowand heat transfer processions in the hot stove prove that the surface of the bed of the thermalstorage balls there have not eccentric flow and the flow field and temperature field distribution iseven. The computational results of the blast temperature distribution are similar to thosedetermination experiment data. The numerical results also provide references for developing anddesigning the new-type external combustion swirl-flowing hot stoves.

Influencing Factors of Properties of Castables for Hot Blast Stove Pipes

In order to prolong the service life of castables for hot blast stove pipes,effects of SiO2 micropowder addition and aggregate kind on properties of castables for hot blast stove pipes,and properties of silica sol bonded castables were researched using homogenized bauxite,andalusite particles,andalusite fines,white fused corundum fines,α-Al2O3 micropowder,pure calcium aluminate cement,SiO2 micropowder,and silica sol as starting materials. The results show that：（1） as SiO2 micropowder addition increases,the shrinkage rate of fired specimens increases; BD increases firstly,reaches the highest at 4 mass%,and then decreases; CMOR and CCS of all specimens increase gradually; so the appropriate SiO2 micropowder addition is 4 mass%;（2） the specimens with bauxite aggregate have better CCS and volume stability,but specimens with andalusite aggregate have better thermal shock resistance;（ 3） for castables for hot blast stoves using silica sol as binder,the addition of pure calcium aluminate cement can decrease the linear change rate after treatment at 1 400℃ and can slightly enhance CCS and CMOR,but has very little influence on AP and BD; and the introduction of citric acid worsens the thermal shock resistance of specimens.

A high blast temperature is an effective measure that improves pulverized coal injection （PCI）and energy consumption,decreases the cost of blast furnaces （BF）. Apart from using technology such as the increased vault temperature of the hot-blast stove, the increased temperature of the waste gas, the preheating of combustion air and gas, and fully closed mixed air valves, other measures, such as using an oxygen-enriched blast stove, burning high heating value converter gas, increasing the number of stove changes to reduce the time needed for stove blasts, were taken to increase the blast temperature of the 2 500 m3 BF in recent years. The blast temperature of the 2 500 m3 BF was continuously increased in these years. The monthly average temperature of the 2 500 m3 BF reached 1 158℃, with the highest blast temperature reaching 1 195 ℃ in 2006. This technique of increased blast temperatures has reached an advanced level in China.

Experimental and numerical analyses of magnesium alloy hot workability

Due to their hexagonal crystal structure,magnesium alloys have relatively low workability at room temperature.In this study,the hot workability behavior of cast-extruded AZ31B magnesium alloy is studied through hot compression testing,numerical modeling and microstructural analyses.Hot deformation tests are performed at temperatures of 250℃ to 400℃ under strain rates of 0.01 to 1.0 s^(−1).Transmission electron microscopy is used to reveal the presence of dynamic recrystallization(DRX),dynamic recovery(DRY),cracks and shear bands.To predict plastic instabilities during hot compression tests of AZ31B magnesium alloy,the authors use Johnson–Cook damage model in a 3D finite element simulation.The optimal hot workability of magnesium alloy is found at a temperature(T)of 400℃ and strain rate(ε)of 0.01 s^(−1).Stability is found at a lower strain rate,and instability is found at a higher strain rate.

Hot compressive behavior of Ti-3.0Al-3.7Cr-2.0Fe-0.1B titanium alloy

The hot deformation behavior of Ti-3.0Al-3.7Cr-2.0Fe-0.1B (TACFB) titanium alloy was investigated using a Gleeble-1500D thermal simulator in the temperature range of 800-950 °C, at constant strain rate from 0.01 s-1 to 10 s-1 and with height reduction of 70%. Flow stress and microstructure evolution during hot compression of TACFB alloy were investigated. The processing map of TACFB alloy was obtained. The results indicate that the hot deformation behavior of TACFB alloy is sensitive to the deformation temperature and strain rate. The peak flow stress decreases with increasing the test temperature and decreasing the strain rate. The constitutive relationship of TACFB alloy was obtained on the base of Arrhenius equations. When the strain rates are higher than 1.0 s-1, the dynamic recrystallization occurs, and the higher the strain rates are, the more the recrystallization is.

Hot deformation behavior and globularization mechanism of Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B alloy with lamellar microstructure

Hot deformation behavior and globularization mechanism of Ti6A14V0.1B alloy with lamellar micro structure were quantitatively studied through isothermal compression tests with the temperature range of 850950 ℃and strain rate range of 0.011.00 s1. The results show that the peak flow stress and steady stress are sensitive to the strain rate and temperature. The value of deformation activation energy is 890.49 kJmo11 in （a＋β） region. Dynamic recrystallization is the major deformation mecha nism. Flow softening is dominated by dynamic recrystallization at 850950 ℃. TiB particles promote the recrystallization of laths. Globularization processes consist of four steps： for mation of subgrain after dynamic recovery in a plates; subgrain boundary migration caused by interracial instability; interfacial migration promoting phase wedge into a phase; disintegrating of a laths by diffusion processes; and grain boundary sliding. Globularization mechanisms during hot deformation processes of the Ti6A14V0.1B alloy with lamellar structure are continuous dynamic recrystallization.
