The article discusses the results of manufacturing multicomponent consumable cathodes of vacuum electric arc evaporation plants. To obtain ingots of complex silicide as a raw material for the manufacture of target cathodes, it is proposed to use induction melting of pure metal charge materials in an argon atmosphere.The method made it possible to obtain ingots of complex silicide with a composition close to the calculated one and a density of at least 93 %. Further forming of the cathode takes place when controlling the powder fractions by their percentage ratio with a pressing force of at least 50 tons. The results obtained are compared with the SHS method of manufacturing cathodes of identical composition.

Due to their unique properties, metal-matrix composite materials, when used as a surfacing material for electric arc surfacing, provide high properties of the deposited layers. SHS-extrusion is a promising method for a wide range of surfacing metal-matrix electrodes. The gas environment of surfacing affects the quality of coatings formed by SHS electrodes, their microstructure and properties. In this paper, cermet SHS electrodes of the TiB2–Co2B composition obtained by SHS-extrusion were used to form protective coatings on a steel substrate by electric arc surfacing in an argon atmosphere and in a nitrogen atmosphere. The elemental and phase composition, as well as the microstructure of the deposited layers, were investigated. Based on the conducted studies, the influence of the gas atmosphere on the formation of the structure of cermet coatings was established. It is shown that, despite the similar phase composition, there are fundamental differences in the microstructures of the deposited coatings, which are caused by the partial fusion of the tungsten electrode and the transfer of the electrode material in the coating during surfacing in an argon atmosphere. The maximum values of the microhardness of coatings deposited in a nitrogen atmosphere exceed the maximum microhardness of coatings obtained by surfacing in an argon atmosphere by 200–450 HV.

SHS extruded TiB / 30 wt.% Ti-layered long rods with a length of more than 100 mm and a diameter of 3 mm were made by electric arc surfacing on a titanium substrate in an argon atmosphere. Technological modes of coating deposition (electric arc current, arc speed, argon flow intensity, etc.) have been worked out by the method of electric arc surfacing. The structure and phase composition of the initial surfacing electrode and coating are investigated. It is shown that the deposited coating has a layered structure, its microstructure is represented by titanium diboride and monoboride in a matrix consisting of a solid boron in titanium solution. It was found that the structure and phase composition of the coating are predominantly identical to the structure and phase composition of the used SHS electrodes. The microhardness of the deposited electrode and coating was 1024 and 1420 HV, respectively.

Machining operations of cast parts usually generate considerable amounts of waste in the form of chips (usually 3–5% of the casting weight). Traditionally, swarf is sold to scrapers and remelters, but this option is quite expensive because the selling price is roughly 30% of the acquisition price of the commercial 2nd melt raw material. For most aluminium foundries that incorporate machining operations in their products, reusing aluminium chips as raw material for the melting stocks is perhaps the best option as waste management policy in what concerns to economical and technical aspects. Nevertheless, aluminium swarf is a low density product (0.25 kg/dm3) and is usually covered by a thin film of aluminium oxide and machining fluid. Melting such a product without suitable previous preparation leads to very low metal recovery rates, high energy consumption, gases and smoke generation and very low quality of the final product. During the last years, the authors have developed a high efficient and environmentally friend aluminium swarf recycling technique, using direct incorporation in aluminium melts. The influence of processing parameters, namely melt temperature and holding time, melting atmosphere, swarf briquetting pressure and melting charge composition in the metal recovery yield and dross generation was studied and characterized, and the optimal processing parameters were established. The microstructure of the final product obtained in those conditions was evaluated and is also presented. It is shown that the recycling efficiency depends on the swarf conditioning, the melting technique and the melt treatment methodology. Swarf moisture reduction, induction melting under protective atmosphere and a specially developed degassing technique were found the most important factors influencing the recycling process. By using the developed technique, cast ingots with microstructure and sanity similar to commercially available AlSi12Cu1 2nd melt raw material were successfully obtained with minimal dross formation and metal recovery rates around 90%, without using traditional salts and fluxes.

SiC-AlN solid solution powders were prepared from the mixtures of aluminum, silicon and carbon black in a nitrogen atmosphere with preheating self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The powders synthesized with different ratios of Al/Si were mixed with paraffin wax and the microwave permittivity of the mixtures was measured at the frequency of 8.2~12.4GHz. The results were contrasted with that of SiC powders synthesized by preheating SHS in argon and nitrogen atmosphere respectively. The ε′, ε″, and the tgδ (ε″/ε′) of the mixture of SiC prepared in a nitrogen atmosphere are highest, followed with those of the SiC-AlN solid solution powders and the SiC powders prepared in an argon atmosphere. Along with the increase of atomic ratio of Al/Si, the ε′, ε″, and tgδ of SiC-AlN solid solution decrease. We believe that, with the increase of AlN dissolved, the concentration of carriers and the effect of dielectric relaxation will decrease because of the two contrary dopants.

Steel slag is one of the most common waste products from the steelmaking industry. Conventional methods of slag disposal can cause negative impacts on humans and the environment. In this paper, the process of steel and steel slag production, physical and chemical properties, and potential options of slag recycling were reviewed. Since steel is mainly produced through an electric arc furnace (EAF) in Malaysia, most of the recycling options reviewed in this paper focused on EAF slag and the strengths and weaknesses of each recycle option were outlined. Based on the reports from previous studies, it was found that only a portion of EAF slag is recycled into more straightforward, but lower added value applications such as aggregates for the construction industry and filter/absorber for wastewater treatments. On the other hand, higher added value recycling options for EAF slag that are more complicated such as incorporated as raw material for Portland cement and ceramic building materials remain at the laboratory testing stage. The main hurdle preventing EAF slag from being incorporated as a raw material for higher added value industrial applications is its inconsistent chemical composition. The chemical composition of EAF slag can vary based on the scrap metal used for steel production. For this, mineral separation techniques can be introduced to classify the EAF slag base on its physical and chemical compositions. We concluded that future research on recycling EAF slag should focus on separation techniques that diversify the recycling options for EAF slag, thereby increasing the waste product’s recycling rate.

AbstractIn this work, nanoparticles of ZnO and zero-valent Fe were sonochemically synthesised using a solution produced from electric arc furnace dust leaching as raw material. The leaching was previously carried out using ultrasound with various concentrations of sulphuric acid. The resulting solutions contained, in addition to varying amounts of Zn and Fe, elements such as Cr, Mn, Mg, Ca, and Si. Two methods were developed, one for Fe and one for ZnO, to obtain the nanoparticles and to avoid the precipitation of the additional elements during the nanoparticle production. The synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles was performed through the formation of a precursor by sonochemical reaction with NaOH, and the thermal decomposition of this precursor by heating in furnace. The production of Fe nanoparticles involved the precipitation of FeOOH, the dissolution of FeOOH in HCl solution, and the ultrasound-assisted reduction of the iron ions with NaBH
