This article is focused on the description of the main features of an online system for the real time monitoring and prediction of the liquid steel temperature in the ladle and tundish. Monitoring and prediction are based on a combination of analytical and statistical methods. Thus e.g., the temperature profiles of the walls are calculated using multi-layer implicit difference scheme taking int...

Original scientific paper In this paper, influence of flame spraying and fusing on microstructure of substrates made from heat treated carbon steel C45, a heat treated low alloyed 42CrMo4 steel and stainless austenitic steel X6CrNiMo18-10-2, has been investigated. Flame spraying and fusing is a deposition technique commonly applied to nickel-base self-fluxing alloys (NiCrBSi alloys). Because of...

in this paper, welding feasibility between aa1100, aa5050 and aa6082 aluminum alloys and a441 aisi steel by friction stir welding has been studied. mathematical analysis of the heat generation during process showed that the maximum temperature produced in aa6082 aluminum alloy and a441 aisi joint but heat distribution in aa1100 aluminum alloy was higher than the other alloys. the investigation ...

The mechanical properties and microstructural developments of 321 stainless steel during thermomechanical process were investigated. The repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing were conducted to achieve nanocrystalline structure in an AISI 321 stainless steel. Heavily cold rolling at −20°C was conducted to form martensite in metastable austenitic steel. The process was followed by anne...

Limited studies are available on post-heat treatment (tempering/annealing) of electro­chemically carburized low-carbon steel, which can relieve internal stresses induced by the quenching process. In this study, electrochemical carburization was carried out using electrolyte mixture sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and chloride (NaCl) under a CO2 gas environment 800 °C. The samples were then quenched i...

In this study nanosized TiO2coatings on the 316L stainless steel substrate were prepared by means of dip-coating technique in which thickness of the coating layer increased byrepeating the coating cycles in two different routes: (I) dipping and drying,respectively, were repeated one, three and five times and finally the dried coated sample was heat treated (single); (II) multiple heat treatment...
