Abstract.Now the largeness of circumferential belt and 2 poles in ball billet after cold upsetting process and the consequently low material utilization ratio increase the following process time and cause a great waste. In order to obtain low allowance of ball billet, high material utilization ratio and productivity, through the research of the cold upsetting process, evaluating indicator including plumpness, roundness, cold upsetting force and volume was established, orthogonal test was designed. By the Deform simulation analysis the optimum process parameters was obtained. The results show that the optimized cold upsetting force is reduced by 35%. So the optimized process parameters has a great application value.

Natural-fibre reinforced composite material is an emerging material that has great potential to be used in various industrial aspects and applications. The cotton-viscose-reinforced composite is prepared using a compression moulding process. In addition to it, analysis of its mechanical properties was also carried out, such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and hardness. An attempt was made to process the prepared composite material using abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) under different process parameters (water pressure, nozzle transfer speed and abrasive flow rate) levels to determine the better suitable process conditions to achieve the better surface finish and optimize the machining process. The significance of the optimization process was ensured using the results of the analysis of variance. Morphological analyses of the machined surface were performed using a scanning electron microscope. The surface roughness of 8.28 µm was found to be the optimized process parameter. Optimum process parameters in AWJM are used to improve the surface quality.

Recently, the proportion of electric furnace steelmaking has increased rapidly, and the content of electric arc furnace dust has increased. Through comprehensive recovery of electric arc furnace dust, the harm of metallurgical solid waste can be reduced and economic value can be created. In this paper, it gives a common outline about the known recycling techniques from electric arc furnace dusts and presents the carbothermal reduction under vacuum. The evolution in reduction products in the process of vacuum carbothermal reduction of zinc-containing electric arc furnace dust is studied using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase and micro-morphology analysis. The thermodynamic conditions for reduction are computed using Factsage 7.1 program. Through thermodynamic study, it is found that the initial temperature of reducing zinc oxide decreases as the pressure of the system drops. In the process of the vacuum carbothermal reduction experiment, the type of reducing agent, reduction temperature, carbon content, and reaction time are studied. According to the test results, the optimum process parameters are determined as follows: reduction time 30 min, reduction temperature 1273 K. The dezincification effect of electric arc furnace dust can reach over 99%.

Removal of Cu contaminants from Si wafer was carried out using remote hydrogen plasma (RHP) and UV/O 3 cleaning techniques. The concentration of Cu impurities on the wafer surface was monitored by TXRF (total reflection X-ray fluorescence) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). Our results show that Cu impurities can be effectively removed by hydrogen plasma and UV/O 3 cleaning techniques, if it is performed under optimum process conditions. The optimum process parameters for the remote hydrogen plasma cleaning are the rf power of 20 W and the exposure time of 5 min. The optimum exposure time of the UV/O 3 cleaning for Cu impurity removal is 1 min. A two-step cleaning process composed of remote hydrogen plasma cleaning first and UV/O 3 cleaning next has been found to be more effective than a single UV/O 3 cleaning process, a single remote hydrogen plasma cleaning process, or a two-step cleaning process composed of UV/O 3 cleaning first and remote hydrogen plasma cleaning next. Cleaning efficiency is maximized at optimum process conditions where Cu contaminant removal effect and recontamination effect are traded off. Increasing the process parameters higher than the optimum values would decrease the cleaning efficiency.

Monel K-500 is a Nickel based super alloy which have superlative properties such as high strength, resistance to corrosion, retention of mechanical properties at service temperature and structural stability. It finds wide application in aerospace application, nuclear reactor, gas turbines, submarines, combustion engine exhaust valve, petro chemical components, heat exchanger, etc. However, during machining of super alloys, difficulties are there due to its low thermal conductivity and work hardening effect. Challenges in conventional machining can be minimized by using suitable machining as well as process parameters. Among the different machining processes, not much work has been initiated on drilling of above super alloys. Normally, drilled holes are used in screws, bolts, shafts, steam pipes, fitting of furniture and other equipments. By considering the applications and difficulties in machining of super alloys, drilling experiment is selected on Monel K-500. Experiments were conducted as per Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array using process parameters such as different drill tool material, drilling speed, feed and cutting fluids and Surface roughness and MRR values were measured as output responses. Effect of selected process parameters on the above machinability responses were analyzed. Optimum process parameters were identified to improve the machinability of Monel K-500.

In order to fabricate three-dimensional metal microstructures, a combined machining process based on 3D printing technology and electroforming technology is proposed. Firstly, a substrate with microstructures is fabricated by 3D printing technology, and then the microstructures were fabricated by electroforming technology. The influence of process parameters such as current density, distance between electrodes and pulse current duty cycle on the electroformed layer were studied and analyzed. It was determined that the peak current density 6A/dm2, the void ratio 20%, and the distance between electrodes 40 mm were the optimum process conditions of electroforming experiment. The electroforming experiments of different microstructures were carried out with the optimum process parameters.

Steelmaking based on direct reduced iron (DRI, and its compacted derivative hot briquetted iron, HBI) is an anticipated important global alternative to current steel production based on FeOx reduction in blast furnaces due to its lower specific CO2 emission. The majority of DRI is melted and refined in the electric arc furnace with different process conditions compared to the melting of steel scrap due to its raw material composition being rather different. We provide data and analysis of slag composition of DRI charges vs. steel scrap charges for 16 industrial electric arc furnaces (EAFs). Suggestions for optimized slag operation and resulting process improvements of DRI melting in the EAF are given. A dynamic mass and energy model of the DRI melting in the EAF is introduced to illustrate the implications of the adapted slag operation on the EAF process with DRI charges.
