    Abstract:Driven by the fourth wave of industrial revolution, iron and steel science and technology are undergoing digital and intelligent transformation. The whole process of iron and steel industry is "black box", multi field, multiphase, variable giant system, complex correlation and genetic effect, etc. These huge uncertainties bring great challenges. Challenges and opportunities coexist. These uncertainties provide the application scenario resources of intelligent and digital technology; the extremely rich big data of iron and steel industry provide the data resources of mining the objective laws contained in the data; modern data science and intelligent technology provide a strong means to solve the uncertainty problems. Taking data as the center, industrial Internet as the carrier, as well as experimental tools, data and calculation tools as the support platform, building the material innovation infrastructure of iron and steel enterprises will significantly improve R & D efficiency, reduce R & D cost, and strongly support the transformation and development of iron and steel science and technology. In addition to the traditional laboratory equipment and pilot equipment, the actual production line is regarded as a main experimental tool of the experimental tool platform. These experimental tools provide rich, accurate and realistic historical data and real production data, especially the production line equipment provides the actual production big data, which contains all the rules in the production process, and is a very valuable data resource. Modern data mining technologies, such as machine learning and deep learning, are used as computing tools to process, analyze and calculate these data, and transform the data into high fidelity models, so that digital twins with "in situ analysis ability" can be obtained. Under the overall framework of industrial Internet, digital twin as the core combined with physical system constitutes an Cyber Physical System, which constructs a closedloop enabling system based on automatic data flow, such as data perception, realtime analysis, scientific decisionmaking and accurate execution, solves the complexity and uncertainty problems in the process of manufacturing and application services, improves the efficiency of resource allocation, realizes resource optimization and improves the quality of materials to provide key technical support for the transformation and development of the industry. The Cyber Physical System with virtualreal mapping, realtime interaction and precise control is integrated with the material innovation infrastructure. Based on the material innovation infrastructure, a digital twin with "insitu analysis ability" is formed. The construction of the integrated Cyber Physical System along the whole steel production chains will promote the vigorous development of smart manufacturing and digital and intelligent transformation of the steel industry.

    Abstract: Solidification homogenizing technology of Pulse Magneto Oscillation (PMO) was originally developed by the team of center for advanced solidification technology, which is based on the theory of metal solidification under the physical fields and has been successfully applied in industry after 15 years of research and development. The principle of PMO technology and its application in the industrial production of special steels was introduced, such as GCr15 bearing steel, 20CrMnTi gear steel and anchor chain steel. The industrial application shows that PMO technology can not only increase the proportion of equiaxed grains and modify the segregation, but also increase the casting speed and relax the control requirements of liquid steel superheat.

    Abstract: Firstly, three commonly used research methods of the influence of nonmetallic inclusions on the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel were summarized, including insitu corrosion observation, microarea electrochemistry method, and atomic force microscopy. Secondly, the influence of sulfide, oxide, and rare earth inclusions on corrosion resistance of stainless steel were introduced. The larger number of sulfides in stainless steels decreased the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel. For oxide inclusions, the previous studies mainly focused on the influence of oxide composition on the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel, whose influence mechanism was still unclear. The influence of rare earth inclusions on the pitting corrosion of stainless steel was mainly related to the modification of inclusions in stainless steel by rare earths. Then, the proposed influence mechanisms of inclusions on the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel were summarized, including the mechanism of the poor Cr zone, the mechanism of microcrevices, and the mechanism of inclusion activity. The Crpoor zone mechanism was mainly used to explain the pitting corrosion induced by sulfides, and the other two were mainly used to explain the pitting corrosion induced by oxides. Finally, the prospect of improving the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel based on control of inclusions was proposed.

    Abstract: Ultrahigh strength steel with excellent properties has attracted much attention in various industrial fields. However, the service condition of ultrahigh strength steel is becoming increasingly complicated. Further simultaneous improvement of strength and toughness has thereupon become one of the research hotspots, which can be implemented by tailoring the microstructure with different carbides. The research status of ultrahigh strength steel was briefly reviewed. The effects of different heat treatment on the microstructure, carbides precipitation and evolution are emphatically analyzed, and recent progress in the field of ultrahigh strength steel made by our research group is briefly summarized. In the research process of ultrahigh strength steel, it is also necessary to thoroughly explore the phase relationship between carbides and the matrix, and clarify the inherent mechanism of different heat treatment processes that change the order of carbide precipitation, which will provide fundamental knowledge and theoretical guidance for the microstructural control and performance optimization of ultrahigh strength steels.

    of Technology, Ma′anshan 243032, Anhui, China Abstract: Iron coke is a new type of carboniron composite burden for low carbon blast furnace (BF) ironmaking, and its high temperature metallurgical properties are very important. The high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke are directly related to the practical application of iron coke in BF and the smelting efficiency of BF. Relevant scholars at home and abroad have done experimental research on the high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke, and have put forward various new methods to evaluate the high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke. However, up to now, there is no unified and reasonable method for evaluating the high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke. The research status and progress of evaluation methods for the high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke were summarized. Meanwhile, various methods were used to evaluate the high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke, and the results were compared with the high temperature metallurgical properties of coke under the same conditions. Based on the analysis and comparison of various evaluation methods and the actual situation of BF smelting, a relatively scientific new method for evaluating the high temperature metallurgical properties of iron coke was proposed. The new evaluation method will provide theoretical reference for the preparation of iron coke and the application of iron coke in BF.

    Abstract:Steel slag is an inorganic solid waste produced in the steelmaking process with large output and low utilization rate. It is mainly utilized in construction materials such as cement and concrete, but these materials have some problems, such as poor stability and relatively limited product value. In the preparation process of rubber and coating, various fillers are usually added to reduce production costs and improve product performance. However, the production process of common fillers such as carbon black and barium sulfate is complex and has a relatively large consumption of resource. The SiO2, CaO, MgO, FexOy, and other components in steel slag and its porous structure have the potential value in preparing chemical fillers. The studies show that combined with normal temperature poremaking and surface modification technology, using phosphoric acid solution to remove fCaO from steel slag and synergistically modify the surface of steel slag with silane coupling agent to prepare steel slagbased rubber fillers, which can make the precent of preplacement reinforcing filler carbon black in rubber conveyor belt cover filler carbon black reaches 30%. Based on the control technology of particle size and pore structure, combined with vacuum negative pressure technology, steel slag with diameter of 15-23μm based composite pigments and fillers were developed. The antirust property of the coating can be largely improved when the addition of steel slag comes up to 10%-25% of the total paint. The preparation of chemical fillers with high performance by application of steel slag has realized "increasing efficiency with waste" in iron and steel enterprises and "reducing cost with waste" in crossindustrial enterprises, which has broad development prospects.

    Abstract: Sinter feeds should be granulated to achieve highefficiency and lowconsumption sintering production. That is, with the addition of water or other binders, the sinter feed particles form agglomerated granules with larger size and narrower size distribution during movement and collision. The granulation effectiveness is affected by equipment parameters and physical and chemical properties of the iron ore fines. Hence, the appropriate granulation process and optimized configuration of iron ore have a significant effect on improving the sintering technical and economic indicators. The basic theory of the granulation phenomenon was described, and the forces of particle agglomeration and mechanism of particle growth were summarized, as well as the effects of granulation parameters (water content, stirring kinetic energy, granulation time, etc.) and iron ore properties (particle size distribution, surface properties and particle morphology, etc.) on the granulation effectiveness. The results provide a theoretical basis for better understanding of the iron ore granulation and efficient production of highquality granules.

    Abstract: With the rapid development of iron and steel industry in China, and the reduction of highgrade iron ore, the Al2O3 mass ratio of domestic iron ore and imported iron ore will increase year by year, which will bring a series of adverse effects to sinter, pellet production and blast furnace smelting. The formation and morphology of Al2O3 in different occurrence states was introduced, and the influence rules and mechanisms of Al2O3 occurrence state changing and mass ratio increasing on sintering, pelletizing and blast furnace smelting were summarized. The change of Al2O3 occurrence state and its mass ratio could affect the quality, mineral compositions and metallurgical properties of sinter and pellet, and increasing Al2O3 content will adversely affect the melting property, viscosity and desulfurization of blast furnace slag. Based on the above contents, it is considered that the influence of Al2O3 on sinter, pellet and blast furnace smelting can be decreased by improving the beneficiation process, sintering and pelletizing process, blast furnace smelting process.
