2. 1. Formation of non-metallic inclusions and the possibility of their removal during ingot casting

   Author : Lars Ragnarsson; Sichen Du; Carlo Mapelli; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ingot casting; tool steel; inclusion; runner; refractory; erosion; casting powder; cold model; argon shroud; reoxidation; oxygen measurement; CFD; PIV; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

   Abstract : The present study was carried out to investigate the formation and evolution of non-metallic inclusions during ingot casting. Emphasize have been on understanding the types of inclusions formed and developed through the casting process and on the development of already existing inclusions carried over from the ladle during casting.

4. 2. A Study of Slag/Metal Equilibrium and Inclusion Characteristics during Ladle Treatment and after Ingot Casting

   Author : Hamid Doostmohammadi; Pär Jönsson; Lauri Holappa; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; inclusions; thermodynamics; ladle treatment; vacuum; tool steel; bearing steel; slag; equilibrium; slag carryover; oxides; sulfides.; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

   Abstract : Today, there is a high demand on clean steel for high performance materialproperties. Thus, steel producers try to deliver a steel product with the highestquality and cleanliness to the market. The number of parameters that affect thesteel cleanliness may vary depending on the required material properties of thefinal product. READ MORE

5. 3. Influence of microstructure on fatigue and ductility properties of tool steels

   Author : Mats Randelius; Rolf Sandström; Jens Bergström; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tool steels; fatigue; ductility; carbides; carbide cluster; inclusion; size distribution; modelling; FEM; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

   Abstract : Fatigue and ductility properties in various tool steels, produced by powder metallurgy, spray forming or conventionally ingot casting, have been analysed experimentally and successfully compared to developed models. The models are able to predict the fatigue limit and cause for fatigue fracture, and strain- and stress-development until fracture during the ductile fracture process respectively. READ MORE

6. 4. Heat transfer,inclusion characteristics and fluid flow phenomena during up-hill teeming

   Author : Robert Eriksson; KTH; []
   Keywords : Laser flash method; thermal diffusivity; slags; inclusions; water model; ingot casting; up-hill teeming;

   Abstract : Clean steel production requires good control of the sizedistribution and the composition of the inclusions at allstages of the steel making process. So far, there exists verylittle information on the behavior of the inclusion populationduring ingot casting of steel. READ MORE

7. 5. Slag inclusion formation during solidification of steel alloys and in cast iron

   Author : Sofia Adolfi; Hasse Fredriksson; Karin Hansson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solidification; segregation; precipitation; inclusions; inoculation; EMPA; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the formation of segregation and inclusions during solidification of steel and cast iron. A better understanding of the formation mechanism should result in decreasing fraction of defects during solidification of ingot and strand material. READ MORE
