  2. 1. An Experimental Study to Improve the Casting Performance of Steel Grades Sensitive for Clogging

    Author : Jennie Svensson; Pär Jönsson; Voicu Brabie; Lauri Holappa; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Preheating; Decarburization; RBM; Clogging; SEN; Plasma sprayed coating; CaTiO3; YSZ; Continuous casting; Pilot plant trials; Industrial plant trials; Clean steel; Tundish; Non-metallic inclusions; MISS; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Steel Forming and Surface Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study, the goal is to optimize the process and to reduce the clogging tendency during the continuous casting process. The focus is on clogging when the refractory base material (RBM) in the SEN is in contact with the liquid steel. READ MORE

  4. 2. An Experimental Study of Submerged Entry Nozzles (SEN) Focusing on Decarburization and Clogging

    Author : Arashk Memarpour; Pär Jönsson; Torbjörn Carlberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Refractory; SEN; Clogging; REM; Coating; glaze; alkaline; Post- Mortem; industrial preheating; ZrSi2; Graphite; Alumina; Oxidation; Al2O3-C; ZrO2-C; MgO-C; decarburization; reaction mechanism; Yttria Stabilized Zirconia; plasma spray-PVD coating;

    Abstract : The submerged entry nozzle (SEN) is used to transport the molten steel from a tundish to a mould. The main purpose of its usage is to prevent oxygen and nitrogen pick-up by molten steel from the gas. Furthermore, to achieve the desired flow conditions in the mould. READ MORE

  5. 3. Combination of heating and preservative impregnation of wood for outdoor exposure

    Author : Ekaterina Sidorova; Magdalena Kutnik; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood Physics; Träfysik;

    Abstract : The research is presented as a composite thesis containing a theoretical explanatory review based on four scientific articles. The thesis covers the investigation of wood modification methods, which in the future could possibly be developed further to enhance the performance of wood products in an efficient and economical way.

  6. 4. Robotic Friction Stir Welding for Flexible Production

    Author : Jeroen De Backer; Gunnar Bolmsjö; Giorgos Nikoleris; Anders Robertsson; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction Stir Welding; Automation; Robotics; Aluminium; Lightweight design; Industriell arbetsvetenskap; Industrial engineering; Mechatronics; Mekatronik;

    Abstract : Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a modern welding process that joins materials by frictional heat, generated by a rotating tool. Unlike other welding processes, the material never melts, which is beneficial for the weld properties. READ MORE

  7. 5. Producer Gas Implementation in Steel Reheating Furnaces from Lab to Industrial Scale : A Computational Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics Approach

    Author : Mohsen Saffari Pour; Pär Göran Jönsson; Henrik Saxen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : The integrated steel-making plants in Sweden contributed with approximately 8 % of the total CO2 emissions in the country in 2011. A major contributor to these emissions is the combustion of fossil fuels in different process units. Therefore, it is essential to reduce emissions by limiting the fossil fuels consumption in the steel industry. READ MORE
