The pig iron is then oxidized in a fining process, melted little by little until it consolidates into a bloom which is hammered to free it from slag and other impurities. Cast iron leaves little iron in the calcium/aluminum/magnesium rich slags Primary smithing: Hammering the bloom into a cake or bar Secondary smithing: Forging the metal-rich cake or bar into a final product Gangue: undesired components of a metal ore Smelting: extraction of gangue from ore to leave metal and slag byproduct Bloom: An iron mass with ore, slag, and furnace environment impurities that is the intermediate product between smelting an ore and a finished product. Dross: A metal oxide that is the result of recycling or melting scrap metal Wüstite: Human-made mineral from metallurgical production, FeO Spinel group (spinels): Minerals in oxide form that can result from smelting or melting activities, with magnetite being a common one in the form of Fe3O4 Olivine: Magnesium iron silicates often found in slag with the most common being fayalite, Fe2SiO4 Flux: When an ore is smelted, fluxes are often added to reduce the temperatures necessary to isolate the iron, including calcium and manganese, in addition to naturally occurring silicon in the ore which would induce self-fluxing Qualitative rule of thumb as established by Buchwald and Wivel 1998 Ferrous slags rich in iron oxide phases are qualitatively linked to the production of wrought iron (α-ferrite microstructure), and ferrous slags poor in iron oxide phases but rich in olivine and glassy phases are qualitatively linked to the production of steel (pearlite microstructure) Smelting and melting slags and dross It is notoriously difficult to tell the difference between copper smelting and melting slags as the phases can be very similar and even in a melting slag (dross) the molten metal can react with the ceramic crucible to create slag phases, but there are some clear signs such as a fairly pure metal-oxide matrix.

Nevertheless, (To be continued) New feature Metals in the Bible 3. Silver (Part 1) Peter Hemingray In 1996 and 1997 The Testimony published two two-part articles under the title, “Metals in the Bible”, in which we looked at iron and copper.1 We considered the ancient technology of iron, and how this knowledge helps illuminate the Biblical references to it. In particular, we saw how the introduction of iron during the period of the conquest affected the Israelites, who had to overcome superior technology through the power of God. For copper (or brass, as the AV terms it) the ancient metalworking methods were illuminated with illustrations from Timnah in Palestine, and we argued for the symbology of copper in the Bible being primarily that of strength, and only rarely that of the strength of sin. The intention was to complete these studies on metals of the Bible by considering silver, then gold. This we have now done in two further two-part articles to be published in this and the coming months, God willing.

  • DROSS in DUCTILE IRON by Hans Roedter, Sorelmetal Technical Services
    98 DROSS IN DUCTILE IRON by Hans Roedter, Sorelmetal Technical Services WHAT IS “DROSS ”? magnesium with other elements. Dross also Dross is a reaction product which is formed from occurs in the form of long stringers instead of Mg treatment and during subsequent reoxidation concentrated “slag like” areas. When it occurs in of Mg rejected from the molten metal before it this string like form it acts like cracks or flake solidifies. It is therefore just another word for a graphite in the structure and so fatigue strength specific type of slag (reaction product). and impact strength of the material are lowered considerably. The reaction binds magnesium with sulphur, oxygen and silicon and forms continuously. This “dross” is light weight and so it will generally be found in the upper surfaces and under cores, but it can be entrained throughout the metal as well, especially with colder pouring tempera - tures. It is very difficult to completely avoid the reaction of magnesium with these other elements, since we need magnesium to form nodules. We are always confronted with the problem of dross in the production of Ductile Iron. WHAT IS PROMOTING “DROSS ” AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP THE “DROSS ” OUT OF THE CASTING ? Since “dross” is always connected with magnesium, it is necessary to keep the magnesium level as low as possible. Good inoculation practice with some late inoculation in conjunction with sufficient magnesium will When looking at “dross” in the microscope you produce nice round small nodules. See will almost always find flake graphite in Suggestion Sheet 76.

Various types of lasers are utilized in the industry with different attendant gases such as nitrogen or argon. When the laser beam interacts with a metal surface, the area underneath is heated to the melting point. This liquid or vaporized metal is ejected from the kerf area to the surrounding atmosphere by attendant gas and becomes undesirable waste in the form of powder. In the presented work, the X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods were used to analyze AISI 304 stainless steel, which was cut by a semiconductor fiber laser, and the waste powder generated during the laser cutting process. The results suggest that this waste material may be reused for industrial applications such as additive manufacturing.

  • Operator's Ready Reference
    Operator’s Ready Reference We Bring Intelligence to the Table.TM VictorThermalDynamics.com What is plasma? Plasma is a gas heated to an extremely high temperature and ionized so that it becomes electrically conductive. Plasma arc cutting uses the plasma as an electrode to transfer a electrical arc to the work piece. The heat of the arc melts the work piece and the force of the plasma and shield gases blow away the molten metal to cut the work piece. Different metals react differently to plasma cutting. Carbon steel can be oxidized, and is usually cut with a plasma containing oxygen to take advantage of the exothermic process. Higher levels of oxygen in the plasma result in higher heat and higher rates of oxidation. The result is a faster and cleaner cut. Stainless steel and aluminum are not subject to rapid oxidation and depend entirely on the plasma’s heat for the cutting process. Because plasma produces much higher heat than the oxygen-fuel cutting process, plasma can cut stainless steel and aluminum quickly and cleanly. Choosing a plasma process Thermal Dynamics systems offer a variety of plasma cutting processes for precision and general purpose cutting. Ultra-Cut systems offer precision cutting as well as conventional cut options. Auto-Cut O2 systems offer high speed oxygen cutting, precision non-ferrous and conventional cut options. Auto-Cut systems offer conventional mild steel and precision non-ferrous options.

  • Ae Signals During Laser Cutting of Different Steel Sheet Thicknesses
    AE SIGNALS DURING LASER CUTTING OF DIFFERENT STEEL SHEET THICKNESSES TOMAŽ KEK and JANEZ GRUM University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Askerceva 6, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Abstract Laser cutting is an established industrial method for cutting of various steels in the produc- tion process. However, each laser cut poses a question of quality estimation during and immedi- ately after the laser cutting process. The capturing and evaluating of acoustic emission (AE) sig- nals reveals a great potential for the laser cut quality estimation. This paper presents the results of the AE bursts measurement after the laser cutting of steel sheets of various thicknesses using oxygen or nitrogen as cutting gas. The method of the laser cut quality estimation described here was applied to the austenitic stainless steel, mild steel, and structural steel. The laser cut quality, which is related to the size of the dross and the waviness of the cut surface can be successfully forecast based on the captured AE signals. Keywords: Burst acoustic emission, laser cutting, PZT sensor, dross, unalloyed steel, austenitic stainless steel Introduction The price of the equipment and operation costs are considerable when it comes to laser sys- tems, but the higher cost is well justified by exceedingly faster treatment processes as well as good dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Laser cutting quality depends mainly on the selec- tion of the process parameters that were established with trial and error method. Changes in the beam quality, gas flow and surface of materials can lead to reduced laser cut quality. In order to eliminate these weaknesses, the monitoring and adequate adjustments of the treatment need to be ensured.
