The results of calculating the parameters of the tips of oxygen lances, taking into account the preheating of scrap metal in the converter due to the combustion of solid fuels in the modern raw material conditions of a metallurgical enterprise of Ukraine, are presented. The substantiation of the design of blowing devices is provided. The results of calculating the geometric parameters and the coefficient of off-design for standard and experimental tips of oxygen lances are presented. Using numerical methods, the value of the diameters and length of the supercritical part of the nozzle was obtained. It is shown that with a decrease in the blast flow rate, it is advisable to decrease the length of the supercritical part of the nozzle, which is fully correlated with the literature data. The change in the coefficient of off-design was determined for the studied range of oxygen consumption (600—1100 m3 / min) for standard and experimental handpieces. It is shown that the value of the coefficient of off-design is in the range of 0.52—0.98 and 1.30—2.30, respectively, for 5– and 6–nozzle standard tips. For experimental tips, this figure is 1.00—1.70. Tuyeres with experimental tips, at the pressure available in the shop, reliably operate in the range of oxygen consumption 650—950 m3 / min and allow increasing the oxygen consumption at the beginning of the blowdown to 1000—1100 m3 / min and more, if necessary. The resulting saving effect from the introduction of the modernized tips is: a decrease in the oxidation of the final slag 1.22—1.70 %; reduction in the specific consumption of lime 0.29—1.81 kg / t; reduction of specific consumption of metal charge 0.26—0.38 kg/t.

The results of calculation of energy efficiency of the variant of technology of converter smelting with preliminary heating of scrap metal in the unit due to burning of solid fuels in modern raw material conditions of the metallurgical enterprise of Ukraine are presented. A critical analysis of the variant of converter smelting technology with the use of preheating of an increased amount of scrap metal in the charge containing briquettes of steel chips in the unit, before pouring processing iron. According to the results of the calculation of the efficiency of use of different types of fuel used for preheating of scrap metal in the unit, the rational type and technology of its use in converter smelting are determined. A direct connection between the chemical composition of briquettes, the level of their preheating and the share in the metal charge on the energy efficiency of the converter process and their chemical heat content has been established. The nature of the temperature distribution in the volume of briquettes from steel shavings, which are a part of the metal charge, is taken into account when they are preheated by oxidation of coal with oxygen supplied through the nozzles of the standard lance. A method for calculating the change in energy consumption of scrap metal during its preheating, taking into account the content of elements in the briquettes and the level of heating. The energy consumption of the converter process with preheating of the metal charge increases in proportion to the level of contamination of briquettes from steel chips with non-metallic inclusions. According to the calculations when heating briquettes by 100—800 degrees in the converter, the increase in energy consumption of the converter process is from 60 to 630 MJ / t and from 445 to 1000 MJ/t for contamination of briquettes with non-metallic inclusions of 2.47 and 7.87 % by weight in accordance. With the reduction of briquette contamination, the efficiency of preheating of the metal charge increases. The share of the impact of the level of briquette contamination on the overall energy efficiency of the converter process is on average 0.3 % of the total energy savings of 1.91—1.92 GJ / t, which is achieved by increasing the share of scrap metal in the charge.

A high rate of production of complex microparts is increasingly required by fields like electronics and micromechanics. Handling is one of the main problems, limiting those forming processes of small metal components consisting of multiple forming stages. A forming chain in which a metal strip acts both as raw material and support of the workpiece through the different stages of the process, is seen as a solution that radically simplifies the positioning of microparts. Each workpiece stays connected to the strip through all the forming steps, being separated just at the end of the process chain. In this work, a tooling system for the bulk forming from copper strips has been set up and employed in a full forward extrusion process of a micro-billet. The same die, with a diameter of 1 mm, has been used with three different strip thicknesses (1, 2 and 3 mm) and three different material conditions. The use of thinner and hard-as-rolled strips has resulted in achieving a higher ratio of the billet length to strip thickness.

The existing difference in the models used to describe the burning rate of solid fuel particles, and, accordingly, the difference in the constants appearing in them, determines the relevance of the formulation of the relation between the constants known from the literature and the parameters that must be set in programs for CFD modeling of heat and power processes. This, in particular, relates to modeling the combustion of solid fuels in the well-known program ANSYS FLUENT. The paper outlines a possible approach to solving this problem. Bibl. 5, Fig. 3.
