The precipitation of sigma (σ) phase in austenitic stainless steels is a significant subject of many investigations. Exposure of these steels to elevated temperatures (from 600 °C to 900 °C) results in precipitation of σ phase (transformation product from delta (δ) ferrite) which is one of the main reasons for the deterior...

Steel 67SiCr5 is a alloyed carbon steel usually used for production of springs. It is used for load bearing springs, ring-shape springs, spiral springs, anti vibration springs etc. Springs steels are usually distribute in annealed or hardened and tempered state. Heat treating could be performed before or after springs forming. In this article, the ...

The ore consolidation process is a thermal process and it happens at the temperatures of the ore melting beginning, allowing the ore grains, additives and fluxes to be connected into a solid piece of sinter. The amount of carbon in the sinter mixture and the FeO content of the produced sinter affect the mechanical resistance of the sinter. Indicato...

Metallurgical coke as a fuel, reducing agent and permeable material in high-pressure processes must have pronounced strength and granulation properties due to expected changes in high temperature conditions. The best quality of metallurgical coke is achieved when coal mixtures satisfy a certain range of rheological parameters. The characterization ...
