The article presents the results of numerical simulations of liquid steel flow in the main steelmaking ladle. The paper analyses the mechanism of the outflow of non-metallic AlO and MnS inclusions with diameters in the range of 4-27 µm. The simulations were performed with ANSYS Fluent software. In order to determine the shape and size of non-metallic inclusions formed in the main ladle during steel refining, the collected samples of liquid metal were analysed using a scanning microscope with SEM/EDS and LM (light microscopy). Simulation tests and calculations were carried out for the case of steel refining under the conditions of the Cognor SA HSJ Department in Stalowa Wola (Poland). The presented method of using simulation tests to optimize the technology of steel refining in the ladle is an example. The analysis of the results shows that the gas flow in the metal volume has the greatest impact on the outflow of non-metallic inclusions in the steelmaking ladle.

Faculty of Metallurgical and Energy Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650031, China.
Fracture toughness is an important index related to the service safety of marine risers, and weld is an essential component of the steel catenary risers. In this paper, microscopic structure characterization methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), as well as mechanical experiments like crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and nanoindentation, were employed to conduct a detailed study on the influence of the microstructure characteristics of multi-wire submerged arc welded seams of steel catenary riser pipes on CTOD fracture toughness. The influence mechanisms of each microstructure characteristic on fracture toughness were clarified.

: Orthodontic archwires undergo chemical and structural changes in the complex intraoral environment. The present work aims to investigate the safe duration for intraoral use (related to the nickel release hypothesis) of different types of nickel-containing wires. By analyzing how the nickel content (NC) varies over time, we aim to provide practical recommendations for the optimal use of said archwires.

In this study, FeCoNiCrSi (x = 0, 4, and 8) powders were successfully prepared using the aerosol method and employed to produce high-entropy coatings on Q235 steel via laser cladding. The microstructure and phase composition of the coatings were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Corrosion resistance and potential were evaluated through electrochemical analysis and Kelvin probe force microscopy.

The changes in the inclusions in 316L stainless steel before and after Ce addition were studied by adding different contents of Ce. The effects of rare earth Ce treatment on the modification of MnS inclusions in steel and the pitting corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel are studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, the 6% FeCl corrosion weight loss test, and Tafel polarization curve test. The results show that the addition of Ce reduces the corrosion rate of stainless steel in 6% FeCl solution, and reduces the number and size of corrosion pits.
