The Importance of Materials Properties in High-temperature Processes

Kenneth Mills, Muxing Guo

pp. 2000-2007

Abstract

In high temperature processes, physico-chemical properties of the phases involved have proved useful in identifying the mechanisms responsible for process problems and product defects. However, recently mathematical models have developed to the stage where they can now be used to identify these mechanisms. These models require reliable values for the thermo-physical properties for the various phases involved in the process. The thermo-physical properties of slags are very dependent upon slag structure. The factors affecting slag structure are outlined and the ways in which structural factors affect various physical properties are described. Finally, the manner in which the following properties (liquidus temperature; viscosity, surface and interfacial tension; thermal conductivity and enthalpy) can be manipulated to optimise process control and product quality is demonstrated for various industrial processes.

Thermal Conductivity of Molten Slags: A Review of Measurement Techniques and Discussion Based on Microstructural Analysis

Youngjo Kang, Joonho Lee, Kazuki Morita

pp. 2008-2016

Abstract

In order to properly interpret the thermal conductivity of molten silicate slags, several different measurement methods are briefly reviewed, along with a discussion as to their respective advantages and limitations. In addition, a large number of thermal conductivity values measured by these methods are assessed, in order to evaluate their dependence on composition and temperature. The behavior of the thermal conductivity of molten silicate slags was found to show good agreement with well-focused analyses into its microstructure. Moreover, with an improved understanding of the microstructure of silicate slags, there is an apparent co-relation between thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity, viscosity, and so forth.

Density of the Blast Furnace Slag Bearing TiO2 at 1673 K

Yanhui Liu, Xuewei Lv, Chenguang Bai, Xi Zhang

pp. 2017-2024

Abstract

The density of blast furnace slag bearing TiO2 has been investigated using the dispensed drop method at 1673 K under the Argon atmosphere (Pressure ≈1.2 atm). The influence of slag basicity and the TiO2 content on the density was analyzed according to the measurements. It was found that the density of the slag increases with increasing the TiO2 content from 0% to 23%, once the TiO2 content exceed of 23%, the density decreases. The reason of this transition can be attributed to the reduce of the coordination numbers of Ti–O, Ca–O and Mg–O by means of the molecular dynamics simulation. For the influence of the increase of basicity from 0.9 to 1.2, the density slightly rises from 2.83 g/cm3 to 2.92 g/cm3. The empirical formulas for the density which relates TiO2 content and basicity are developed. The prediction model for the density by the partial molar volume method was also discussed, indicating that the calculated values can reach a good quantitative agreement with the measured values without the apparent change of the coordination numbers of the cations with O.

Viscosities of Iron Blast Furnace Slags

Mao Chen, Dianwei Zhang, Mingyin Kou, Baojun Zhao

pp. 2025-2030

Abstract

The viscosities of the industrial and synthetic iron blast furnace slags have been measured using a custom designed rotating bob apparatus. This advanced apparatus enables control of the gas atmosphere and rapid quenching of the samples on completion of the viscosity measurements. The experiments were carried out using Mo spindle and crucible under ultra-high purity Ar flow. The microstructures and phase compositions of the quenched slag samples were determined by Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis (EPMA) after the viscosity measurements.
It was found that the viscosities of the industrial slags are lower than those of the corresponding synthetic slags made from pure Al2O3, CaO, MgO and SiO2. The difference in viscosities between industrial slags and synthetic slags will provide useful indications when applying the results of the synthetic slags to the real iron blast furnace slags. The activation energy of both industrial and synthetic slags is 174 kJ/mol and increases with decreasing MgO concentration. Replacement of (CaO+SiO2) or CaO by MgO can decrease the slag viscosity. The viscosity of iron blast furnace slag at 1500°C can be estimated by V = 0.005+0.0262[SiO2]+0.0184[Al2O3]–0.0172[CaO]–0.0244[MgO] which is derived from the present and previous data.

Structure-Viscosity Relationship of Low-silica Calcium Aluminosilicate Melts

Tae Sung Kim, Joo Hyun Park

pp. 2031-2038

Abstract

The structure-viscosity relationship of the low-silica (SiO2 ≤ 10 wt%) calcium aluminosilicate melts, which represent the secondary refining ladle slag systems, was investigated by employing the rotating-cylinder viscosity measurement in conjunction with the Raman spectroscopy measurement for linking the macroscopic thermophysical property and molecular (ionic) structural information. Furthermore, the influence of CaF2 on the structure-property relationship was explored. The viscosity of low-silica calcium aluminosilicate melts decreased with increasing both CaO/Al2O3 and CaO/SiO2 ratios. However, the effect of the former on the viscosity of low-silica calcium aluminosilicate melts was larger than that of the latter. By employing the Neuville’s structure model, in which the silicate structural units with various NBO, i.e. QnSi are located at the boundary of the AlO4 aluminate, and the Raman scattering data of the glass samples, it was demonstrated that the aluminate and silicate units are more effectively modified by increasing the CaO/Al2O3 ratio at fixed silica content. The addition of small amounts of CaF2 (~5 wt%) to the low-silica calcium aluminosilicate melts decreased the viscosity of the melts. From the analysis of Raman scattering data, the liberation of SiO44– (Q0Si) units from the AlO4 aluminate structure by addition of CaF2 was understood. However, the effect of CaF2 addition on the viscosity became less discernible at higher CaF2 content (≥ 10 wt%) region, where the F ions simply substitute for the non-bridging oxygen ions in AlO4 tetrahedra.

Structure-Viscosity Relationship of Low-silica Calcium Aluminosilicate Melts

Effect of Potassium Oxide Addition on Viscosity of Calcium Aluminosilicate Melts at 1673–1873 K

Tomoyuki Higo, Sohei Sukenaga, Koji Kanehashi, Hiroyuki Shibata, Takeshi Osugi, Noritaka Saito, Kunihiko Nakashima

pp. 2039-2044

Abstract

We investigated the changes induced in the viscosities of CaO–SiO2–Al2O3–K2O melts (CaO/SiO2 molar ratio = 0.68 ± 0.04, Al2O3 content = 13.4 ± 0.6 mol%) with the addition of K2O in amounts of 0–17.4 mol% for temperatures of 1673–1873 K using the rotating crucible method. The viscosity increased with an increase in the K2O content when K2O/Al2O3 molar ratio < 0.7. On the other hand, the viscosity decreased with the addition of K2O for K2O/Al2O3 molar ratio > 0.9. The maximum values of the viscosities were noticed in the range of 0.7 < K2O/Al2O3 molar ratio < 0.9. This behavior could not be explained on the basis of the polymerization degree of the aluminosilicate network structure. The 17O magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectrum of the 31.6CaO-44.2SiO2-13.4Al2O3-10.8K2O (mol%) glass suggested that K+ ions preferentially compensate the negative charge of AlO4, while the Ca2+ ions primarily create non-bridging oxygens (NBOs). The viscosity data and the 17O MAS NMR spectrum also suggested that the increase in viscosity for K2O/Al2O3 molar ratio < 0.7 was because of the increase in the average bond strength of the aluminosilicate framework, which was attributable to the substitution of Ca2+ ions by K+ ions at the charge compensator sites. The activation energies for viscous flow indicated that the NBOs bonded with K+ ions, forming NBO-K species, for K2O contents greater than those corresponding to the viscosity maxima. Thus, the viscosities of aluminosilicate melts are indicative of the average bond strengths of the melts.

Viscosity Measurement of SiO2–Na2O Melts with Addition of NaF

Osamu Takeda, Tomoki Ohnishi, Yuzuru Sato

pp. 2045-2049

Abstract

The viscosity of SiO2–Na2O–NaF melts was measured by using a rotating crucible viscometer developed by the authors. The basicity (= CNa2O/CSiO2 in mol%) of the melts was 0.67, 0.82, and 1.00. The concentrations of NaF were 5, 10, and 15 mol%. As a result, the viscosity of the melts showed a good Arrhenius type linearity in any melts. It was found that the sample loss occurred in highly basic composition region due to a prolonged measurement at high temperature. The viscosity of the melts decreased with increasing the concentration of NaF, and the composition dependence is similar to that for SiO2–CaO–CaF2 melts. Viscosity decreasing ability of NaF is higher than that of Na2O within the composition region investigated in this study. Transitions of activation energy of viscous flow are different between Na2O addition and NaF addition. This implies that the mechanism of enhancement of fluidity is different between Na2O and NaF.

Effect of SiO2/Al2O3 and TiO2/SiO2 Ratios on the Viscosity and Structure of the TiO2–MnO–SiO2–Al2O3 Welding Flux System

Jong Bae Kim, Il Sohn

pp. 2050-2058

Abstract

The effect of SiO2/Al2O3 and TiO2/SiO2 ratios on the viscosity of the TiO2–MnO–SiO2–Al2O3 welding flux system was studied using the rotational spindle method. The viscosity was measured at the fully liquid region of the melt from 1773 K to the break temperature at approximately 1623 K. Higher TiO2/SiO2 ratio resulted in lower viscosity in the temperature range of interest. The SiO2 dominant slag system showed higher viscosity values than the Al2O3 dominant slag in the present TiO2 based system until a SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 1.61. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results revealed the [SiO4]4–-tetrahedral symmetric stretching vibrations and the [AlO4]5–-tetrahedral asymmetric stretching vibration became weaker with higher TiO2/SiO2, which was also apparent with the increase in the extended basicity ((TiO2+MnO)/(SiO2+Al2O3)). The Al–O–Si bending vibration and [SiO4]4–-tetrahedral symmetric stretching vibrations were also pronounced with higher SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. From the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results, the bridged oxygen (O0) slightly decreased with higher TiO2/SiO2 and increased with higher SiO2/Al2O3.

Initial Wetting and Spreading Phenomena of a CaO–SiO2 Liquid Slag on MgO Substrates

Jiwon Park, Kyuyong Lee, Jong-Jin Pak, Yongsug Chung

pp. 2059-2063

Abstract

Initial wetting phenomena and spreading property of CaO–SiO2 slag on MgO single and poly-crystal refractory substrates are investigated using sessile drop technique and a high-speed camera (1500 frame/s). By observing and analyzing the spreading rate, change of the contact angle, and the composition change in slag and refractory, we found that the initial wetting is non-reactive and controlled by viscous friction.

Rheological Behavior and Empirical Model of Simulated Foaming Slag

Kenta Yamashita, Sohei Sukenaga, Michitaka Matsuo, Noritaka Saito, Kunihiko Nakashima

pp. 2064-2070

Abstract

The slags and fluxes found in modern steelmaking convertors all contain finely dispersed gas phases, which are generated by the refining reaction used to decarburize the molten iron. The frothing effect that is often generated as a result of these gasses can often prove to be a fatal obstacle in the efficient operation of the converter. In the present study, a simulated slag foam was produced by dispersing N2 bubbles in silicone oil. The effect of varying the volume fraction and bubble size of the dispersed gas phase, the shear rate, and the viscosity of the liquid phase, was then systematically investigated by measuring the viscosity of the N2 bubble dispersed silicone oil with a rotating viscometer. This found that the relative viscosity is increased as the volume fraction of the gas phase is increased, ultimately transitioning from a Newtonian to pseudo-plastic fluid at higher gas phase rates. In addition, an empirical model for the viscosity of the slag foam was developed by modifying the Einstein-Roscoe equation, with this model capable of reproducing the variation in relative viscosity with various gas phase rates, shear rates, and bubble sizes.

Effects of Agitation and Morphology of Primary Crystalline Phase on Crystallization Behavior of CaO–SiO2–CaF2 Supercooled Melts

Yusuke Harada, Kakeru Kusada, Sohei Sukenaga, Hideaki Yamamura, Yoshiyuki Ueshima, Toshiaki Mizoguchi, Noritaka Saito, Kunihiko Nakashima

pp. 2071-2076

Abstract

The effects of the agitation field and the crystal morphology on the primary and secondary crystallization temperatures of CaO–SiO2–CaF2 supercooled melts were systematically investigated by measuring the electrical capacitance.
Two-stage decreases in electrical capacitance were observed for most samples investigated. These stages correspond to the primary crystallization and the eutectic reaction resulting from the compositional change in the supercooled melts associated with the primary crystallization, respectively.
The primary crystallization of dendritic CaO·SiO2 was affected by the agitation in the same manner as reported previously, but the crystallization of faceted 3CaO·2SiO2·CaF2 revealed little dependence on the agitation. This indicates that the effects of the agitation are different for different morphologies of the primary crystalline phase because of shifts in the rate-determining step of crystallization.

Relationship between Molten Oxide Structure and Thermal Conductivity in the CaO–SiO2–B2O3 System

Youngjae Kim, Kazuki Morita

pp. 2077-2083

Abstract

Using a transient hot-wire method, the thermal conductivity of the CaO–SiO2–B2O3 mold flux system was measured. The effects of temperature, BO1.5 concentration and basicity on the thermal conductivity were considered, along with structural investigation by Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the addition of boron oxide caused both a decrement and increment of thermal conductivity, depending on the basicity. These conflicting effects on thermal conductivity were considered to be caused by the following two different behaviors in the oxide melts. Boron oxide is incorporated into silicate networks at a lower basicity, while it tends to form borate networks at higher CaO/SiO2 ratios. In the case of basicity dependency, thermal conductivity initially decreases or remains constant with increasing CaO/SiO2 ratio in regions of low basicity, but increases when the CaO/SiO2 ratio is higher than 1.15. Due to the incorporated state of boron oxide in silicate networks at low basicity, the thermal conductivity is likely to be predominantly affected by the silicate networks. However, at a relatively high CaO/SiO2 ratio, an increase in chain-type metaborate was observed through Raman spectroscopy; this structural change in borate being responsible for the increment in thermal conductivity with higher basicity. Finally, the apparent activation energy of thermal conductivity was calculated, and was found to be reduced by the addition of boron oxide.

Thermal Diffusivity Measurement of Oxide Scale Formed on Steel during Hot-rolling Process

Rie Endo, Takashi Yagi, Mitsutoshi Ueda, Masahiro Susa

pp. 2084-2088

Abstract

Thermal diffusivity and conductivity of oxide scales formed on steel plates are essential to control the cooling rate of the steel in the hot-rolling process. A flash method was applied to measure the thermal diffusivity of oxide scales. Sample specimens were commercial hot-rolled plates on which about 25 μm-thick oxide scales were formed. The results of the flash measurement with the analysis for two-layered sample provided an average thermal diffusivity value of 7.3 × 10–7 m2s–1 for the oxide scale. This value produces a thermal conductivity value of 3.8 W m–1 K–1. The future application of this measurement and analysis technique was also discussed to derive the thermal diffusivity and conductivity of oxide scales formed in actual hot-rolling processes.

Influence of High Temperature Interaction between Sinter and Lump Ores on the Formation Behavior of Primary-slags in Blast Furnace

Xinliang Liu, Shengli Wu, Wei Huang, Kaifa Zhang, Kaiping Du

pp. 2089-2096

Abstract

The primary-slags formation behaviors of sinter, lump ores and integrated burdens were studied to explore the high temperature interaction between sinter and lump ores in blast furnace. The results showed that the softening and melting properties of lump ores, viscosity and fluidity index of primary-slags of lump ores would be improved by the high temperature interaction. Particularly, the high temperature interaction was influenced by the chemical composition and porosity of iron ore samples. The high temperature interaction between sinter and lump ore L-2 (a typical limonite lump ore from Australia) was much stronger. Though the high temperature properties of lump ore L-2 was much worse than lump ore L-1 (a typical hematite lump ore from South Africa), the high temperature properties of integrated burden B (consist of sinter and lump ore L-2) was not worse than that of integrated burden A (consist of sinter and lump ore L-1) due to the strong high temperature interaction. In addition, the suitable MgO/Al2O3 weight ratio was calculated based on the assumption that the only phases of slags were akermanite and gehlenite, which showed a decreasing tend with the increase of CaO/SiO2 weight ratio.

Influence of Oxygen Partial Pressure on Surface Tension of Molten Type 304 and 316 Stainless Steels Measured by Oscillating Droplet Method Using Electromagnetic Levitation

Shumpei Ozawa, Keisuke Morohoshi, Taketoshi Hibiya

pp. 2097-2103

Abstract

Surface tension of molten SUS304 and SUS316 stainless steels was measured by an oscillating droplet method using electromagnetic levitation furnace to investigate the influence of oxygen partial pressure, PO2, of atmosphere on surface tension and its temperature coefficient. We successfully measured the surface tension of molten stainless steels over a wide temperature range including an undercooling condition under Ar-He-5 vol.%H2 and Ar–He mixed gases. Although the surface tension of molten SUS304 stainless steel decreased with increasing temperature under the Ar-He-5 vol.%H2 mixed gas, the surface tension showed a boomerang temperature dependence when PO2 was fixed at 10–2 Pa under the Ar–He mixed gas; and surface tension increased and then decreased with increasing temperature. When the surface tension of molten SUS316 stainless steel was measured under the Ar-He-5 vol.%H2 and Ar–He mixed gases, the surface tension increased with increasing temperature regardless of the atmospheric gas due to the large sulfur content. The uncertainty of the measurement was evaluated as less than 5% in this study.

Surface Tension Measurements of 430 Stainless Steel

Joongkil Choe, Han Gyeol Kim, Youngjin Jeon, Hyeok Jun Park, Youngjo Kang, Shumpei Ozawa, Joonho Lee

pp. 2104-2108

Abstract

The surface tension of 430 stainless steel was measured using an electromagnetic levitation (EML) method at temperatures of 1707–2000 K, under a 5 vol% H2–He atmosphere. For comparison, the surface tension was also measured using a constrained drop method; specifically the advanced sessile drop method. At 1823 K, the surface tension of the 430 stainless steel was estimated from the electromagnetic levitation and the constrained drop methods to be 1.802 and 1.614 N/m, respectively. A subsequent analysis of oxygen content showed that the former contained ~7 ppm oxygen, whereas the latter had 60 ppm. It was therefore considered that the observed difference in measurements was the result of a contamination by oxygen. Furthermore, the EML experimental results were found to be close to the theoretically calculated values for the Fe–Cr–Si system. Consequently, for complex multi-component commercial steels such as the 430 stainless steel, the levitation method is recommended for the measurement of surface tension.

Dynamic Surface Tension Behavior of Liquid Iron during Carburization and Decarburization Processes

Hiroyuki Fukuyama, Keisuke Morohoshi, Masahito Uchikoshi, Minoru Isshiki

pp. 2109-2114

Abstract

A new technique to study the kinetics of the carburization and decarburization processes of liquid iron is proposed. A liquid iron droplet was electromagnetically levitated in a CO–CO2 gas mixture during carburization and decarburization, and its surface oscillation was continuously recorded using a high-speed camera. The surface tension varied depending on each elementary step in the carburization and decarburization processes. This behavior was caused by transient adsorption and desorption of oxygen on the surface of the liquid iron accompanied by CO and CO2 gases. The kinetics of the carburization process were discussed and the conclusion was drawn that the desorption rate of oxygen adatoms in the form of CO2 was predominantly controlled by the gas-phase mass transfer.

Surface Tension of Liquid Ag–Cu Binary Alloys

Jürgen Brillo, Giorgio Lauletta, Luca Vaianella, Elisabetta Arato, Donatella Giuranno, Rada Novakovic, Enrica Ricci

pp. 2115-2119

Abstract

Surface tension of liquid Ag–Cu binary alloys has been measured contactlessly using the technique of electromagnetic levitation in combination with the oscillating drop technique. The measurements were performed at temperatures above the melting point of alloys. The surface tension values were obtained from an analysis of the frequency spectra of droplet oscillations recorded with a CMOS-camera at 400 fps.
The alloy samples covered the entire composition range. The surface tension data can be described by linear functions of temperature with negative slopes. The new experimental data were compared to the corresponding theoretical values calculated combining the Butler equation with the ideal and subregular solution models, respectively. The agreement with the experimentally obtained data is excellent for the isothermal surface tension and quite reasonable for their temperature coefficients.

Concentration Dependence of Molar Volume of Binary Si Alloys in Liquid State

Akitoshi Mizuno, Hiroya Kawauchi, Mitsuhiro Tanno, Kentaro Murai, Hidekazu Kobatake, Hiroyuki Fukuyama, Takao Tsukada, Masahito Watanabe

pp. 2120-2124

Abstract

The molar volumes of binary M–Si (M=Fe, Ni, and Ge) alloys in a liquid state were obtained from their densities measured using electromagnetic levitation coupled with a static magnetic field. We have systematically analyzed the molar volume as a function of composition. Although the concentration dependence of the molar volume of the liquid Ge–Si alloys obeys a linear law which is indicative of an ideal mixture, in comparison, that of the Ni–Si alloys shows a large discrepancy from the linear law as well as the Fe–Si system. The interaction between the constituent atoms was discussed with a view to analyzing the partial molar volume.

Development of High Concentration References for Measuring Hydrogen Ingress into Steels

Ki-Bok Kim, Yun-Hee Lee, Yongil Kim, Unbong Baek, Hae Moo Lee

pp. 2125-2128

Abstract

Hydrogen ingressed into steels has been treated as one of detrimental factors causing the hydrogen-induced damages or failures and its concentrations is generally measured by a hot extraction system calibrated with references. High concentration references above 50.00 wppm is proposed to solve the bottlenecks of conventional references such as thermal instability and lower hydrogen concentrations at room temperature; by varying a mixing amount of titanium hydride as a hydrogen source with its balancing iron bead, the synthesized reference has freely controlable hydrogen concentration and also showed a good thermal stability at room temperature. Hydrogen residue in the iron bead was controlled less than 0.13 wppm by an optimized procedure including wet cleaning and thermal soaking at 300°C for 3 minute. Hydrogen weight fraction in the titanium hydride was calculated by 0.04 based on the assumption of the stoichiometric composition (or TiH2). Hot extraction measurements and theoretical calculations of the hydrogen concentrations were done for the hydride-containing iron beads. Both data showed a good linear correlation each other and a validity of the proposed concept is confirmed emprically.
