Status quo and trend of technology and equipment optimization for sintering granulation in iron and steel enterprises
In order to clarify the current development progress of the sintering granulation process and future development trends, the sintering granulation process and equipment of steel enterprises have been fully summarized and analyzed. Sintering granulation performance directly affects the air permeability of the materials layer and the distribution of quasi-particle structure and it is an important link in the sintering process of iron and steel enterprises. For a long time, the thermal performance of the iron ore sintering process has received more attention, while the granulation performance has not been paid much attention. In recent years, with the development of theory and technology, sintering granulation has received more and more attention from iron and steel enterprises and then many optimization measures of technology and equipment have been adopted for granulation. First, the significance of sintering granulation optimization was explained and then the optimization technologies made by domestic and foreign steel enterprises in the four aspects of raw material pretreatment, mixer equipment, quicklime digestion, and mixture moisture monitoring in recent years were summarized. The understanding of sintering granulation and the knowledge of emerging artificial intelligence technologies help to look forward to the trend of sintering granulation optimization in steel enterprises in the foreseeable future at the end.

Nitrogen dissolution and control of molten steel in steelmaking process
As a typical coexistence element in steel, the content of nitrogen has an important influence on the properties of steel products. In the process of steelmaking, the nitrogen content in molten steel fluctuates obviously, which leads to unstable properties of finished steel, because the exposed molten steel easily leads to nitrogen increase, or the yield of nitrogen in nitrogen-containing alloy is unstable due to different compositions of molten steel and improper operation. Therefore, the precise control of nitrogen has become a key issue in the production of nitrogen-controlled steel or nitrogen-containing steel. The sources of nitrogen, the thermodynamics and kinetics of nitrogen dissolution in molten steel were analyzed, the changes of nitrogen in molten steel production process, the research status and technical measures of nitrogen control were summarized, and the development direction of precise control of nitrogen in steelmaking process puts forward.

Morphology and metallurgical behavior of coke at tuyere of blast furnace
To study the coke deterioration process in the tuyere area, two coke samples were obtained from the edge of the tuyere and the tuyere area. The morphology and products of the reaction interface between coke matrix and oxidizing gas, slag and iron were detected by microspectrophotometer and scanning electronic microscope. The metallurgical behavior of coke in the tuyere zone was analyzed. The results show that oxidizing gas erodes the coke structure by consuming carbon matrix. Slag disintegrates coke by reaction, eroding and extruding gas coke pore walls. The hot metal at the edge of the tuyere area erodes coke mainly through carburization. The residual ash covers the surfaces of the pore wall, which may hinder the chemical reaction with slag and liquid iron. The disintegrated coke was highly graphitized, showing a flake graphite structure. The change of microstructure leads to the reduction of coke strength and finally disintegrated and powdered. After the coke disintegrates, the internal ash and slag powder mixes with the slag and finally forms the final slag.

Existing forms of phosphorus in high phosphorus oolitic hematite and its dephosphorization mechanism
Based on difficulty in dephosphorization caused by the complex mineral structure of high phosphorus oolitic hematite, the morphology and micro dephosphorization process of phosphorus in the mineral reduction process were studied to achieve the purpose of deep dephosphorization. The high phosphorus oolitic hematite with the iron grade of 44.78% and the phosphorus mass percent of 0.92% was used in the experiment. From the surface scanning electron microscope and mineral phase structure diagram, it is known that the minerals were inlaid and formed oolitic structure layer by layer, with quartz, oolitic mud and hematite wrapping together, and phosphorus was concentrated and distributed in the fluorapatite inside the oolitic. The dephosphorization mechanism of high phosphorus oolitic hematite was studied based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis (EDS). The results show that the oolitic structure is destroyed during the reduction process when the content of YM-1 dephosphorization agent is 16%, resulting in the gradually precipitated and aggregated from the oolitic of iron, separating of gangue from iron particles, and phosphorus removed in different forms. After magnetic separation, the tailings and iron are completely separated, and almost all phosphorus elements were found in the tailings. After adding composite dephosphorization agent YM-1 for calcined magnetic separation, the iron grade of the iron concentrate is 90.16%, the iron recovery is 91.25%, the mass percent of phosphorus is 0.056%, and the dephosphorization rate is 93.91%. The indexes of iron concentrate powder meet the requirements of industrial smelting.

Prediction of composition distribution of non-metallic inclusions in a billet
In order to study the spatial distribution of non-metallic inclusions in continuous casting billet, the variation of the average composition of inclusions in a cord steel billet from the loose side to the fixed side was analyzed. With the increase of the distance from the surface layer of the billet, the SiO2 content ascended significantly from 53% to about 75% firstly, and then declined to 60%. While the change of MnO content in inclusions declined to 12.59% firstly, and then ascended to 27.87%. The contents of CaO and Al2O3 inclusions changed little. An integrated model coupled with heat transfer, solidification, thermodynamic transformation of inclusion composition, and diffusion of dissolved elements in steel was established to predict the composition distribution of inclusions in the continuous casting billet. The calculated variation trend of oxide inclusion composition was consistent with the experimental one, which verified the accuracy of the model. Meanwhile, the evolution of inclusions in continuous casting billets of different total aluminum, total calcium, and total oxygen content was studied by using the model. The content of total aluminum had the greatest influence on the composition distribution of inclusions. When mass pertent of total aluminum increased from 0.000 1% to 0.001 0%, mass percent of SiO2 decreased from 57%-64% to 34%-39%; mass percent of Al2O3 increased from 8%-10% to 37%-41%; the content of MnO changed little; and mass percent of CaO decreased from 13%-17% to 8%-10%.

Interaction between MgO and low-density molten steel and its effect on non-metallic inclusions
The interface reaction between Fe-20Mn-10Al-C (20%Mn, 10%Al) low-density molten steel and MgO refractory rod at 1 600 ℃ was investigated to understand the interaction between high Mn and high Al steel and refractory. The microstructure of MgO refractory and the characteristics of non-metallic inclusions in the steel were observed for the interface reaction with 30 and 60 min. The results show that the MgO refractory transforms into a three-layer structure after the interface reaction, including the dense MgO·Al2O3 spinel interface layer, the transition layer composed of MgO·Al2O3 spinel particles, the calcium aluminate phase and MgO particles, and the original layer filled with MgO particles. As the reaction time increases, the thickness of the spinel interface layer increases. Under the interaction between the high Mn high Al low-density steel and the MgO refractory, the main non-metallic inclusions in the steel are single MgO·Al2O3 inclusion, AlN inclusion, MgS inclusion and composite inclusions such as MgO·Al2O3-AlN and MgO·Al2O3-MgS.

Effect of B2O3-Na2O slag modifier on desulfurization slag performance of hot metal containing vanadium and titanium
In order to solve the problems of thick of slag, large of iron loss, and much of resulfurization in the slagging-off process after pre-desulfurization of hot metal containing vanadium and titanium, the effect of B2O3-Na2O slag modifier on resulfurization, melting point, and viscosity of the desulfurization slag was investigated by using FactSage thermodynamic software and combing with high-temperature experiments. The results showed that the melting point and viscosity of the desulfurization slag decreased significantly with the addition of B2O3 and Na2O. And the addition of CaO to the slag modifier helped to reduce resulfurization. The formula of slag modifier (45%-55% of CaO, 10%-12% of SiO2, 5%-8% of Al2O3, 15%-20% of B2O3, and 5%-10% of Na2O) to improve the performance of desulfurization slag was presented. It effectively reduced the melting point and viscosity of desulfurization slag and decreased the resulfurization, when the added amount of the slag modifier was 5%-10% of the desulfurization slag.

Internal stress of coreless thin silicon steel coil and collapsing mechanism of coreless heart-shaped coil
In a grain-oriented silicon steel rewinding line,due to adopting the constant tension winding method and the coreless winding scheme,about 5% coreless wound rollers collapse after stripping,causing heavy economy loss. In order to investigate the mechanism and influencing factors of the heart-shaped roll,and to reduce the probability of collapse,an inner stress model for winding and stripping was proposed based on the elastic superposition theory and the axisymmetric model. Base on the proposed model and the buried pressure tubes model,a critical criterion for heart-shape buckling of winding coils was obtained. Buckling parameters of 12 groups heart-shape roll with thickness of 0.23 and 0.283 mm were measured,which conform to that predicted by the proposed model,validating the accuracy of the model. Finally,the influences on parameters such as the thickness and roughness of the steel strip,and the equivalent radial stiffness of the rubber layer,were studied. It is found that as the thickness and roughness of the steel strip,and the equivalent radial stiffness of the rubber layer increasing,the probability of the heart-shape buckling and the buckling layers increase,which conforms to actual condition. By decreasing the thickness and increasing the elastic module of the rubber layer,the equivalent radial stiffness increase,leading to significant decrements of the coil pressure,the probability of buckling and the thickness of buckling layers.

Improved model for calculating rolling load of ultra-high strength steel in cold rolling process
In order to solve the problem of large error in calculation of roll flattening curve in rolling deformation zone of ultra-high strength steel during cold rolling,fully considering the rolling characteristics of ultra-high strength steel,a new function model of roll flattening curve was constructed by analyzing the variation of roll flattening curve under different flattening radius,and the solution method of characteristic parameters of contact arc length and roll flattening curve in the function was given. Based on this,according to the relationship between deformation and stress in elastic-plastic theory,the calculation process of unit rolling pressure distribution in entrance elastic deformation zone,plastic reduction deformation zone and exit elastic deformation zone was deduced,and the calculation model of total rolling force in cold rolling process of ultra-high strength steel was established. And,the model has been applied to 2030 tandem cold rolling mill of a steel plant to verify the calculation accuracy of the model. The results showed that the roll flattening curve in the cold rolling process of ultra-high strength steel is expressed by quadratic function,which can more accurately reflect the roll flattening state,and the calculated results are in good agreement with the actual values. Meanwhile,it provides a theoretical basis for the evaluation of ultimate rolling capacity and the formulation of rolling schedule of ultra-high strength steel products produced by tandem cold rolling mill.

High-cycle fatigue properties of microalloyed medium-carbon forging steel 45MnVS with modified sulfide
The elongated sulfide inclusion is primarily responsible for the mechanical properties anisotropy of hot-rolled and forged sulfur-containing structural steels. In order to explore the fatigue anisotropy of microalloyed ferritic-pearlitic forging steel with modified sulfide,high-cycle fatigue properties of a commercial microalloyed forging steel 45MnVS with as-forged and quenched and tempered (QT) microstructures was studied by using axial-force-controlled fatigue testing with a stress ratio of -1. The results show that the sulfides are primarily short rod-like or slightly elongated with an average length to width ratio of 3.4±1.7 and relatively uniformly distributed in the steel. Although there are still ductility and toughness anisotropy in the tested steel,this anisotropy is significantly lowered than that of other microalloyed medium-carbon forging steels which did not subjected to sulfide modification. The fatigue properties of the as-forged and QT samples in the transversal direction are slightly lower than those in the longitudinal direction,and the fatigue limit ratio of the QT samples (0.52-0.54) is notably higher than those of the as-forged samples (0.46). The transversal sample exhibits a slightly higher fatigue crack growth rate than the longitudinal sample only when the stress intensity factor range is higher than about 35 MPa·m1/2. Further fatigue fracture surface investigation revealed that the fatigue fractures are primarily initiated at short rod-like sulfides for both the as-forged and QT samples,and this influence is more notably for the QT sample. It is thus concluded that the fatigue anisotropy of the tested steel with modified sulfide is rather small and the anisotropy degree of the as-forged sample is slightly lower than of the QT sample,although the latter exhibits more superior fatigue properties than the former.

High-pressure heat treatment induced martensitic transformation of industrial pure iron
In order to study the microstructure and transformation mechanism of martensite under high pressure quenching,the effect of high-pressure quenching on martensite structures and mechanical properties of industrial pure iron was analyzed by means of SEM and EBSD. The high-pressure heat treatment of industrial pure iron was carried out by a CS-1 V hexahedron pressure facility under 3,4 and 5 GPa. The results show that the martensite can be obtained by quenching the industrial pure iron at 6 ℃/s after austenitizing under GPa-level pressure. At 3 GPa,the quenched martensite structure of industrial pure iron presents typical low carbon martensite morphology. Its formation process is similar to that of plate martensites at 4 GPa,the preformed lath bundles penetrate the whole austenite grain which is divided,and then the subsequent lath bundles formed are limited. At 5 GPa,the "cooperative matrix" of martensite which transforms from parent phase to new phase in a cooperative way is large in number,small in size and neat,and most of them grow in trapezoid shape. The mechanical properties of industrial pure iron quenched at 5 GPa are close to that of 0.2% C steel quenched at atmospheric pressure,with hardness of 415HV and yield strength of 700 MPa.

Microstructural evolution behavior and mechanical property of HSLA steel by wire arc additive manufacturing
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a novel and important method for forming high-performance HSLA steel components. In order to reveal the microstructural evolution behavior of HSLA steel during WAAM,the temperature field,thermal cycle,heat affected zone partition and its microstructure transformation of component during deposition were investigated. The results showed that in WAAM process,the deposited metal of HSLA steel consisted of solidification zone (SZ) and heat affected zone,and the latter could be divided into coarse austenitic-grain zone (CAZ),normalizing zone (NZ) and tempering zone (TZ). Under the action of thermal cycle,SZ successively turned into CAZ,NZ,and finally became TZ. Meanwhile,Residual ferrite nuclei,high-density dislocations near inclusions,ferrite sympathetic nucleation,grain boundaries pinning by second-phase particles,and continuous dynamic recrystallization all facilitated the microstructure refinement,making coarse columnar grains,grain boundary ferrites,ferrite slide plates,a small amount of acicular ferrites and pearlites evolved into fine equiaxed ferrites and pearlites,beneficial for improving strength,toughness and inhibiting mechanical anisotropy. The vertical,horizontal tensile strength of WAAMed component were 519.6,520.8 MPa respectively,and impact energy at -20 ℃ was 124.7,122.1 J respectively.

Influence of Nb and V on recrystallization of high-strength steel bars and design of rolling process
In order to study and design the quantitative control of the recrystallization behavior of the austenite region during the rolling process of high-strength steel bars after adding niobium and vanadium,the Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator was adopted to conduct uniaxial hot compression tests on niobium and vanadium microalloyed high-strength rebars. Based on the thermodynamic principle of the critical condition of recrystallization,the Avrami equation was used to obtain the recrystallization kinetic curve under different deformation conditions through the analysis of the stress-strain curve under different deformation conditions. And the niobium is quantitatively compared and analyzed according to the recrystallization kinetic curve. The effect of vanadium microalloying on the beginning,transformation,and end process of recrystallization of high-strength rebar was studied carefully. The results showed that the hot compression process of niobium and vanadium microalloyed rebars showed obvious characteristics of dynamic recrystallization. The addition of microalloying elements Nb/Nb+V hindered the dynamic recrystallization of 20MnSi steel and increased the deformation temperature. Or an increase in strain rate can promote recrystallization. Rolling Process design was carried out for the use of dynamic recrystallization and organization control in production. The calculations indicated cooling and recovery could be carried out before the finished stand in the finishing mill to ensure the recrystallization fraction(95%),where the temperature was around 830 ℃.

Carbon peak and low-carbon transition path of China's iron and steel industry
In 2020,China announced that it will increase its nationally determined contributions and strive to reach the peak of CO2 emissions by 2030. As a typical resource- and energy-intensive industry,the iron and steel industry is an important industry that takes the lead in achieving carbon peaks. Here, the influences of steel production,production structure,energy conservation and emission reduction technologies,and carbon tax on the carbon emissions of China's iron and steel industry were analyzed. That different steel production peak times will have different effects on the iron and steel industry's carbon peak,and technologies and production structure factors will have an important impact on China's iron and steel industry. The region is the main body responsible for implementing the national carbon peak task. The carbon emissions of four key areas(Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas,the Yangtze River Delta region,the Fenwei Plain and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions) with different steel production characteristics were analyzed,which is necessary to speed up the formulation of the regional peaking plan. To formulate a low-carbon transformation path for the iron and steel industry(in terms of adjusting the industrial structure,promoting low-carbon technologies,changing the energy structure,promoting inter-industry coupling,and strengthening carbon asset management) is of great significance to achieving the early peak of carbon emissions and carbon neutrality in China's iron and steel industry.
