In this study, double-slag method is used to melt low-phosphorous steel by semi-steel. The results show that, the average phosphorous content of the aimed molten iron of BOF is 0.0052% and after the first slag pure-out, the dephosphorization rate is 56.2%, while the total dephosphorization rate of BOF melting is 92.46%, rang from 91% to 93.4%. Low phosphorous content alloy and slag-stopping tapping technology is adopted and rephosphorization of molten iron is controlled in 0.002%. Finally the average phosphorous of the finished product is 0.0064%, range form 0.0055% to 0.0071%, which means that Pangang Group can produce the steel with phosphorous content is less than 0.008%.

AbstractThe double-slag converter steelmaking process can smelt low- and ultra-low-phosphorus steel and reduce lime and dolomite consumption and the amount of final slag simultaneously. Industrial steelmaking tests on a 150-metric ton converter at the Tangsteel Company were carried out to study this principle and its effect on the dephosphorization ratio and material consumption. The results showed that low-temperature stage could be used with a reduced amount of slag in the double-slag steelmaking process to achieve rapid and efficient dephosphorization. A low-basicity slag (~1.5–2.0) in the dephosphorization stage is required in double-slag process. The dephosphorization ratio reached a maximum of 71 % when the slag basicity was 1.7. The end-point phosphorus content after the smelting process was reduced from an average of 0.018 mass% to an average of 0.011 mass% and the dephosphorization efficiency increased by more than 6 %. The dephosphorization slag could be poured out rapidly when the FeO content was controlled at ~16–20 mass% in the double-slag smelting process. Based on key factors such as an efficient dephosphorization and a rapid iron–slag separation, the production efficiency was improved and the smelting cycle increased by only four minutes over the conventional process.

Except for special grades of steel where it is used as an alloying element, phosphorus is regarded as an impurity that must be removed. Considering the conventional integrated iron and steelmaking, there are primarily two processes for phosphorus removal. The first is a hot metal dephosphorization (DeP) process that is applied to a blast furnace for hot metal before the steelmaking process. The second is the basic oxygen furnace steelmaking (BOS), a unique method primarily used for steelmaking, with the exception of stainless steels. Hot metal phosphorus content has a direct impact on BOS. An increase of phosphorus in hot metal is mainly related to the use of high P2O5 containing iron ores. In the current literature review, new trends of phosphorus removal in converter steelmaking are outlined. The double-slag practice was reported to be successful when hot metal P content was larger than 0.100%. It was indicated that the tapping temperature was critical for the production of low-phosphorus grades for which maximum allowable P content was 0.007% and that high tapping temperatures should be avoided. The tap-to-tap time for the double-slag process was slightly longer than the conventional converter steelmaking. It was further reported that the double-slag practice would be more economical than an establishment of a separate hot metal dephosphorization unit, if low-phosphorus grades did not have a significant share in the product mix of a steelmaking company. Endpoint phosphorus prediction was one of the important recent trends of converter steelmaking. A mixed injection of CO2-O2 to a basic oxygen furnace was applied to enhance dephosphorization, and promising results were reported. Unfortunately, a successful process for recycling of BOS dephosphorization slag has not been reported yet.

Mechanical behaviour of two low alloy steels (G11 and G12) was studied with respect to different phosphorus contents. Tensile strength and yield strength increased while percentage elongation at fracture decreased on increasing phosphorus content. The SEM and light optical photomicrograph of low phosphorus steel (G11) revealed ferrite and pearlite microstructure. On increasing phosphorus content from 0.25 wt.% to 0.42 wt.%, the morphology of grain changed from equiaxed shape to pan-cake shape and grain size also increased. The Charpy V notch (CVN) impact energy of G11 and G12 steel at room temperature was 32 J and 4 J respectively and their fractographs revealed brittle rupture with cleavage facets for both the steels. However, the fractograph of G11 steel after tensile test exhibited ductile mode of fracture with conical equiaxed dimple while that of G12 steel containing 0.42 wt. % P exhibited transgranular cleavage fracture. Based on this study, G11 steel containing 0.25 wt. % P could be explored as a candidate material for weathering application purpose where the 20?C toughness requirement is 27 J as per CSN EN10025-2:2004 specification.

Abstract High contact resistance can be caused by moisture absorption in low phosphorus content BPTEOS. Moisture diffused through the TiN glue layer is absorbed by the BPTEOS during subsequent thermal processes resulting in increased contact resistance. This failure mode was studied by combining different failure analysis methods and was confirmed by duplication on experimental wafers.

Experiments were conducted to study the genotypic variability for tolerance to combined stresses of low availability of phosphorus (P) and drought in 14 mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek] accessions. The accessions were evaluated under four conditions viz., control (sufficient P, irrigated), low P (without P, irrigated), drought (sufficient P, withholding irrigation) and combined stresses (low P, withholding irrigation). The relative stress tolerance was estimated for 22 agro-physiological traits. The principal component analysis (PCA) and relative stress indices (RSIs) of traits exhibited significant variation among the treatments and accessions. Based on RSIs, the PCA ranking analysis showed that the accessions IC 280489, PDM 139 and IC 76491 were highly ranked and tolerant to low P, drought and combined stresses. The relative increase in component traits such as photosynthetic parameters, relative water content, above-ground biomass, seed P content and number of pods plant–1 were higher while canopy temperature and water use efficiency were reduced in tolerant accessions. In contrast, IPM 2-3 was found to be relatively sensitive to all three treatments. Tolerant accessions may be either included in the breeding program or used directly as cultivar that can be grown under low P and drought.
