2. 1. Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of Fe-Cr and TiC-ZrC alloys from Density Functional Theory

   Author : Vsevolod Razumovskiy; Pavel Korzhavyi; Andrei Ruban; Malin Selleby; Sergei Dudarev; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ab initio; first principles; point defects; vacancy clusters; alloys; steels; iron; carbides; diffusion; phase diagram; density functional theory; elastic constants; elastic properties; thermodynamic modelling;

   Abstract : The complete and accurate thermodynamic and kinetic description of any systemis crucialfor understanding and predicting its properties. A particular interest is in systemsthat are used for some practical applications and have to be constantly improved usingmodification of their composition and structure. READ MORE

5. 3. Investigations on the Oxidation of Iron-chromium and Iron-vanadium Molten Alloys

   Author : Haijuan Wang; Seshadri Seetharaman; Ashok Lahiri; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Oxidation; High-alloy steelmaking; Retention; CO2-O2; Fe-Cr melt; Fe-Cr-C melt; Fe-V melt; Vanadium containing slags; Kinetics; Thermodynamics properties.; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : With the progress of high alloy steelmaking processes, it is essential to minimize the loss of valuable metals, like chromium and vanadium during the decarburization process, from both economic as well as environmental view points. One unique technique to realize this aim, used in the present work, is the decarburization of high alloy steel grades using oxygen with CO2 in order to reduce the partial pressure of oxygen.

   Abstract : The use of renewable wood-based fuel has been increasing in the last few decades because it is said to be carbon neutral. However, wood-based fuel, and especially used wood (also known as recycled wood or waste wood), is more corrosive than virgin wood (forest fuel), because of higher amounts of chlorine and heavy metals.
