Based on ultrasonic frequency pulse tungsten inert-gas (TIG) welding for 0Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel, the influence of pulse level parameters was investigated on the field of arc characteristic and arc force. The experimental results show that the pulse level parameters could have huge impact to arc characteristic and arc force. With the increased frequency of pulse level, arc plasma has a more obvious pinch effect, which causes the enhance of arc voltage. Similarly, the arc force can be improved obviously compared with that during conventional direct current (DC) TIG welding. By contrast, the sensitivity of welding characteristic to pulse current level frequency would reduce while the duty of pulse peak current increased.

Recently, the demand of the steel having superior chemical and physical properties has increased for which the content of carbon must be in ultra low range. There are many processes which can produce low carbon steel such as tank degasser and RH (Rheinstahl-Heraeus) processes. It has been claimed that using a new process, called REDA (Revolutionary Degassing Activator), one can achieve the carbon content below 10ppm in less time. REDA process, in terms of installment cost, is in between the tank degasser and RH processes. As such, REDA process has not been studied thoroughly. Fluid flow phenomena affect the decarburization rate the most besides the chemical reaction rate. Therefore, momentum balance equations along with k-? turbulent model have been solved for gas and liquid phases in two-dimension (2D) for REDA process. The fluid flow phenomena have been studied in details for this process by varying gas flow rate, depth of immersed snorkel in the steel, diameter of the snorkel and change in vacuum pressure. It is found that the design of the snorkel affects the melt circulation of the bath significantly.

ABSTRACTIn the Czochralski growth of single crystals from large melts, fluid flow phenomena have a major effect on interface shape, growth striations, defect density and the length of crystals which can be grown from a melt of given volume and thermal geometry. Because of the technical difficulties encountered in making direct measurements in molten oxides, simulation experiments have been extensively utilized to gain insight into melt behavior.Both temperature profile and flow geometry results from simulation experiments are discussed. This data is supported by direct melt observations and results from the characterization of grown crystals. When reviewed together, this information offers new insights into the complex behavior of Czochralski growth processes, including the role of thermal gradients, crystal rotation, and surface tension driven (Marangoni) convection.
