To investigate the effect of the filter device on the cleanliness of molten steel and the flow field distribution within the tundish. The tundish filters were designed into five groups of pores with 20°, 25°, 30°, 35° and 40° elevation angles, and the flow field distribution and impurity removal rate of molten steel were calculated by Discrete Phase Model (DPM). The results showed that the removal rate of impurity in the molten steel could be significantly improved by using the tundish filter with elevation angle. When the elevation angle of the filter was 40°, the impurity removal rate reached 74.05%, and the flow field distribution would be more stable. The presence of the tundish filter caused the higher flow density of the molten steel before the filter inlet to decrease and become steadier after the filter, thereby enhancing the contact rate between impurities in the molten steel and the covering agent, ultimately achieving the highest impurity removal rate.

Dissimilar laser welding of martensitic AISI 1060 carbon steel and Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 was performed based on an experimental and numerical study. The experiments were then conducted based on central composite design experiments (CCD) and analyzed via the response surface methodology (RSM) by considering the effect of laser welding process parameters (incident laser power, speed of welding, nozzle distance and deviation of laser beam) on the weld joint characterization. The experimental results showed that the laser power had a remarkable effect on the melt pool depth.

The research conducted in this study aimed to determine whether the production of a layered casting in the material system of X46Cr13 steel (working part) and gray cast iron (base part) can be integrated with the hardening process of this steel within the conditions of the casting mold. Accordingly, a series of layered castings was produced by preparing the mold cavity, where a monolithic steel insert was poured with molten gray cast iron with flake graphite. The variable factors in the casting production process included the pouring temperature T and the thickness of the support part g.

Galvanising pot roll bearings are subjected to severe deterioration due to the corrosion of the bearing materials in liquid Zn, resulting in maintenance stops that can cost thousands of pounds per hour in downtime. Dynamic wear testing in molten Zn-Al and Zn-Al-Mg was conducted to assess the corrosion and wear resistance of three material pairs using a bespoke testing rig. The materials investigated in this study were Wallex6 coated with WC-Co, stainless steel 316L coated with AlO, and as-received Wallex6 and Wallex4 alloys.

The study and improvement of the corrosion resistance of materials used in concentrated solar power plants is a permanent field of research. This involves determining their chemical stability when in contact with heat transfer fluids, such as molten nitrate salts. Various studies indicate an improvement in the corrosion resistance of iron-based alloys with the incorporation of elements that show high reactivity and solubility in molten nitrate salts, such as Cr and Mo.
