AbstractThe study on the behaviour of decarburization, temperature increase, change of phosphorus and oxygen content of liquid steel during reblow process was presented in this paper. On the basis of traditional three-stage decarburization theory and thermal equilibrium theory, models for the variation of carbon content and temperature were established. Moreover, with application of data mining method, models for change of phosphorus and oxygen content were built based on large amount of production data and thermodynamic theory. By considering the variation of composition and temperature of molten steel, the reblow model was obtained and the software for reblow operation was developed with the combination of production technology. The test results indicated that the reblow rate (reblow more than once) dropped from 3.99 % to 0, and the average tap to tap time was reduced from 37.43 min to 36.35 min. It could provide an effective solution for medium-high carbon steel melting.

The effect of cooling rate of cane molasses as quenching medium for 0.61% C high carbon steels was investigated. Samples of high carbon steel were spheroidized annealed and then machined prior to the hardening process. Molasses solution of viscosity equals to that of engine oil was prepared by adding water. The samples were normalized and then austenitised at 800oC and soaked for 40 minutes and then quenched in water, engine oil, raw molasses and the prepared molasses solution. Cooling rate curves of all the quenching media used were developed. The highest cooling rate of 60oC/s was attained by the prepared molasses solution. Hardness of the test samples was evaluated. The test results obtained show that the highest hardness value (525 HVN) was obtained from the sample quenched in the prepared molasses solution. Microstructures of the various samples were analyzed using OM and SEM. In all the tests samples martensite structure was observed. It was observed that the prepared molasses solution has higher severity of quenching than that of engine oil but lower than that of water. The research showed that cane molasses can harden high carbon steel without cracking the component in the same way as engine oil, hence, molasses could be a very good alternative to engine oil for use as quenching medium.

Effect of ultrasonic treatment time on inclusions in high carbon steel with the addition of pure rare earth Ce was investigated. The results showed that ultrasonic treatment could disperse, refine and remove inclusions in molten high carbon steel with rare earth. With the increase of ultrasonic treatment time, total oxygen content of high carbon steel and average diameter of inclusions decreased evidently, inclusions in high carbon steel could be removed in a certain degree, but the number of the inclusions increased significantly. Total oxygen content (mass fraction) of high carbon steel, equivalent number I and average diameter d of inclusions in ingot was respectively 59×106, 134 entries•mm-2 and 2.91 μm when the ultrasonic treatment time was 60 s, at the same time, the percentage of inclusions with diameter D<2.31 μm is up to more than 43 % of the total.
