Abstract:
Martensitic sheet steel is increasingly being used in advanced car body construction, especially in areas where high crash loads are expected. Using such steels appropriately the weight of individual components can be reduced by up to 20 percent. Martensitic steel sheet is commercially available in the strength range of 1200 to 1900 MPa, either as cold forming or hot stamping grade. Whereas the strength of such martensitic steels is practically only a function of the carbon content, other properties such as ductility, toughness, bendability and delayed cracking resistance are severely influenced by other alloying elements and the particular thermal processing route. The paper discusses the influence of various key-alloying elements such as Nb, Mo and B on these properties and suggests routes to optimize the steel’s behavior with respect to the manufacturing and application related aspects.Keywords Martensite, prior austenite grain size, delayed cracking, grain boundary segregation, hydrogen trapping, niobium, molybdenum

Abstract:
Despite a lot of studies of iron ore raw materials was carried out both in sinter and BF production areas, the matter of agglomeration burdens optimization is still actual. Laboratory studies on sintering of agglomeration burdens of different component content were carried out for optimization of iron ore burden content optimization, following by determination of technology characteristics and metallurgical properties complex.As a result of the studies an optimal component and size content of the agglomeration burden determined to provide improving of metallurgical properties complex of agglomeration burden. The studies carried out showed, that lime introducing into the concentrate flow before the burden department can lead to sintering machines productivity increasing.The burden wetness range determined, enabling for complete lime hydrating. It was shown, that a partial replacement of agglomeration ores in the burden by BOF nickel slag contributes to agglomeration process specific productivity increasing as well as sinter strength increasing.

Abstract:
Abstract A rougher flotation study has been done to analyze the effects of copper feed mineralogy, air flow rate and impeller radial velocity on metallurgical performance. During the performance testing the trials were exposed to metallurgical examining and computerised mineral analysis to establish a size-by-size mineralogy. The mineralogical and metallurgical information was compared to the material balance for rougher flotation results. These samples showed that copper recovery optimization should focus on the losses of liberated Cu-minerals and how they are associated with fine particles. The result of variable impeller radial velocity for each flotation cell cascade on metallurgical performance has been explored on a known-sized and an unknown-sized base, to gauge the input from the fine particles. An industrial application is discussed in this paper, and it validates that divergence of the impeller radial velocity and air flow has positive influence on the recovery.

Abstract:
The Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy created the Knowledge Base “Metallurgy” (BDMet). It can be used to model the physicochemical properties of metallurgical systems and processes based on modern computer information technology. The aim of the work is to develop the fundamental foundations and identify the main directions of development of PMD, expand the presentation of fundamental, technological and regulatory reference information for analysis and multi-criteria optimization of technological processes. A component of BDMet is also the Base of models of metallurgical systems and technological processes, applied and theoretical research software. The database contains experimental data on the physicochemical properties of metal and slag melts formed from the corresponding charge materials in reducing and oxidizing conditions. The results of relevant scientific and applied developments of the department of physicochemical problems of metallurgical processes are shown. It is noted that the presence in the BDMet of the stock of models according to redistribution and a unified methodology for their creation on a modular basis allows the generation of models into a single end-to-end model. It also allows you to identify the optimal scheme of metallurgical processes and ensure the production of metal of a given quality in the framework of end-to-end technology. It is shown that the use allows us to solve the problems of optimization of technological processes for the production of iron and steel. The prospects for the development of further studies for systemic accumulation in the databases of documentary factual data and experimental information on the properties of metal and slag melts, as well as their further use in reduction and oxidation processes of metallurgical production, are determined.

Abstract:
The pyrometallurgical processing of copper concentrates produces SO₂-bearing offgas. SO₂ in the offgas is catalytically oxidized to SO₃ and absorbed into a ∼98.5% H₂SO₄-H₂O mixture in a sulfuric acid plant. This research provides an analysis of a copper smelter sulfuric acid plant and discusses the control and optimization necessary to attain the following goals: (a) minimize smelter SO₂ emissions; (b) maximize acid plant capacity and availability. The objectives of this work are to: (a) prepare mathematical descriptions of sulfuric acid plant operations; compare the mathematical predictions with plant data; (c) use the mathematical descriptions to: (i) predict acid plant behavior with varying feed SO₂ strengths and gas flow rates; (ii) determine control strategies to minimize smelter SO₂ emissions; (iii) evaluate requirements for an existing acid plant to accommodate future increased feed gas flows and SO₂ strengths.

Pour améliorer la performance de l'usine et maximiser les profits, des données et des informations de qualité doivent être appliquées à l'ensemble du contrôle de l'usine, ainsi qu'aux stratégies de gestion et d'affaires. Comme solution, la réconciliation de données est une technique de filtrage qui réduit l'impact des erreurs aléatoires, produit des estimations cohérentes avec un modèle de procédé, et donne également la possibilité d'estimer les variables non mesurées. Le but de ce projet de recherche est de traiter des questions liées au développement, la mise en œuvre et l'application des observateurs de réconciliation de données pour les industries minéralurgiques et métallurgiques.

Abstract:
The research activities described in the present thesis have been oriented to the design and development of components and technological processes aimed at optimizing the performance of plasma sources in advanced in material treatments. Consumables components for high definition plasma arc cutting (PAC) torches were studied and developed. Experimental activities have in particular focussed on the modifications of the emissive insert with respect to the standard electrode configuration, which comprises a press fit hafnium insert in a copper body holder, to improve its durability. Based on a deep analysis of both the scientific and patent literature, different solutions were proposed and tested. First, the behaviour of Hf cathodes when operating at high current levels (250A) in oxidizing atmosphere has been experimentally investigated optimizing, with respect to expected service life, the initial shape of the electrode emissive surface. Moreover, the microstructural modifications of the Hf insert in PAC electrodes were experimentally investigated during first cycles, in order to understand those phenomena occurring on and under the Hf emissive surface and involved in the electrode erosion process. Thereafter, the research activity focussed on producing, characterizing and testing prototypes of composite inserts, combining powders of a high thermal conductibility (Cu, Ag) and high thermionic emissivity (Hf, Zr) materials The complexity of the thermal plasma torch environment required and integrated approach also involving physical modelling. Accordingly, a detailed line-by-line method was developed to compute the net emission coefficient of Ar plasmas at temperatures ranging from 3000 K to 25000 K and pressure ranging from 50 kPa to 200 kPa, for optically thin and partially autoabsorbed plasmas. Finally, prototypal electrodes were studied and realized for a newly developed plasma source, based on the plasma needle concept and devoted to the generation of atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasmas for biomedical applications.<br>L’attività di ricerca svoltasi durante il Dottorato è stata orientata alla progettazione e allo sviluppo di componenti e processi tecnologici innovativi atti ad ottimizzare le prestazioni di sorgenti plasma nel trattamento avanzato di materiali. Sono stati in particolare studiati e sviluppati consumabili di torce al plasma termico per il taglio di materiali metallici (PAC, plasma arc cutting), nell’ambito della cosiddetta alta definizione. L’attività di tipo sperimentale in ambito PAC si è concentrata sulla valutazione e realizzazione di modifiche dell’inserto emettitore, rispetto alla configurazione attuale di elettrodi standard, che prevede un inserto piatto in afnio (Hf) inserito per interferenza in un corpo elettrodo in rame (Cu). Le soluzioni proposte per l’attività di ricerca sono state basate su un’approfondita analisi bibliografica e brevettuale. Il comportamento di inserti in Hf operanti ad alte correnti (250A) in torce PAC è stato sperimentalmente analizzato, ottimizzando la forma iniziale della superficie emittente per incrementarne la vita utile. Sono inoltre state studiate le modificazioni microstrutturali dell’inserto emettitore al fine di comprendere i fenomeni coinvolti nel processo di erosione. Infine, l’attività di ricerca su elettrodi PAC si è concentrata sulla produzione, caratterizzazione e test di inserti compositi prototipali, realizzati unendo polveri ad alta conduttività termica (Cu, Ag) e polvere ad alta emissività termoionica (Hf, Zr). La complessità del sistema torcia ha inoltre richiesto un approccio integrato, che affiancasse attività di simulazione modellistico-computazionale con le valutazioni sperimentali, di natura chimico-fisica e microstrutturale. È stato in questo senso implementato un modello per il calcolo del coefficiente di emissione netto (NEC) del plasma di Argon in funzione di temperatura (1000-25000 K) e pressione (50-200 kPa), per plasmi otticamente sottili o parzialmente auto-assorbiti. Sono infine stati inoltre studiati e realizzati elettrodi prototipali per sorgenti di plasma non termico, finalizzate in particolare ad applicazioni biomedicali, nella configurazione detta plasma needle.

Abstract:
Dans un contexte normatif toujours plus sévère concernant les rejets automobiles polluants, la substitution des aciers par des alliages d’aluminium dans les structures des véhicules est en plein essor. Ce projet de thèse, qui s’inscrit dans un programme de développement de la société Constellium, cible plus précisément les alliages d’aluminium de la série 7xxx (Al-Zn-Mg) qui, malgré leurs propriétés mécaniques élevées, peuvent présenter une sensibilité à la corrosion sous contrainte (CSC) liée au phénomène de fragilisation par l’hydrogène (FPH). La compréhension des mécanismes mis en jeu dans ce type d’endommagement constitue donc une première étape vers une optimisation métallurgique en vue d’une industrialisation future de ces alliages dans le secteur automobile. La première partie de ces travaux est consacrée à l’étude de l’influence de l’état métallurgique de l’alliage 7046 sur son comportement en CSC et à l’identification des mécanismes de dégradation. Un lien direct a pu être mis en évidence entre l’abattement des propriétés mécaniques et les modes de rupture actifs et la quantité d’hydrogène dans l’alliage. Les deux modes d’endommagement observés, intergranulaire-fragile et transgranulaire-fragile, ont respectivement été attribués à un enrichissement en hydrogène aux joints de grains et au piégeage de l’hydrogène au niveau des précipités intragranulaires. Les interactions entre l’hydrogène et les précipités fins d’une part et les dislocations d’autre part, identifiés comme deux hétérogénéités microstructurales critiques vis-à-vis de la FPH, ont été étudiées à une échelle plus locale dans la seconde partie du travail de thèse. Les essais ont été réalisés sur des échantillons modèles, chargés en hydrogène en milieu H2SO4 sous polarisation cathodique et la profondeur de pénétration de l’hydrogène a été évaluée par SKPFM (Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy). L’ensemble des résultats obtenus met en évidence : 1/ un effet « barrière » des précipités fins et des dislocations sur la diffusion de l’hydrogène en relation avec un abattement des propriétés mécaniques moins important, 2/ un transport possible de l’hydrogène par les dislocations et 3/ l’efficacité du SKPFM pour déterminer précisément des coefficients de diffusion apparents de l’hydrogène. Ces résultats ouvrent ainsi de nouvelles pistes vers la compréhension des mécanismes de CSC dans les alliages Al-Zn-Mg.

Abstract:
Im Bereich der industriellen Metallurgie und Kristallzüchtung treten bei zahlreichen Anwendungen, wo magnetische Wechselfelder zur induktiven Beeinflussung von leitfähigen Werkstoffen eingesetzt werden, auch Strömungen mit freier Oberfläche auf. Das Anwendungsspektrum reicht dabei vom einfachen Aufschmelzen eines Metalls in einem offenen Tiegel bis hin zur vollständigen Levitation. Auch der sogenannte RGS-Prozess, ein substratbasiertes Kristallisationsverfahren zur Herstellung siliziumbasierter Dünnschichtmaterialien, ist dafür ein Beispiel. Um bei solchen Prozessen die Interaktion von Magnetfeld und Strömung zu untersuchen, ist die numerische Simulationen ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel. Für beliebige dreidimensionale Probleme werden entsprechende Berechnungen bisher durch eine externe Kopplung kommerzieller Programme realisiert, die für Magnetfeld und Strömung jeweils unterschiedliche numerische Techniken nutzen. Diese Vorgehensweise ist jedoch im Allgemeinen mit unnötigem Rechenaufwand verbunden. In dieser Arbeit wird ein neu entwickelter Methodenapparat auf Basis der FVM vorgestellt, mit welchem sich diese Art von Berechnungen effizient durchführen lassen. Mit der Implementierung dieser Methoden in foam-extend, einer erweiterten Version der quelloffenen Software OpenFOAM, ist daraus ein leistungsfähiges Werkzeug in Form einer freien Simulationsplattform entstanden, welches sich durch einen modularen Aufbau leicht erweitern lässt. Mit dieser Plattform wurden in foam-extend auch erstmalig dreidimensionale Induktionsprozesse im Frequenzraum gelöst.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia<br>Esta dissertação teve como base o estágio curricular realizado na Fucoli-Somepal, S.A., empresa que está inserida no setor metalúrgico de Portugal. O trabalho realizado tem como principal objetivo a análise do fluxo de processo da zona das máquinas CNC (Computer Numerical Control) e a implementação de propostas de melhorias, com a finalidade de reduzir os desperdícios e aumentar a eficácia e eficiência dos postos de trabalho.Foram utilizadas ferramentas das metodologias Lean e Kaizen para realizar a análise do processo e propor as melhorias a serem implementadas. A metodologia Lean tem como principal objetivo a identificação e eliminação dos desperdícios, além da melhoria do fluxo do processo para que, cada etapa, acrescente valor ao produto final. Os desperdícios identificados pela metodologia Lean são: sobreprodução, espera, transporte processamento, stock, movimentação e defeitos. A metodologia Kaizen é baseada na maximização da produtividade por meio da redução dos custos. Entre as melhorias efetivadas podem ser citadas: mudança do layout industrial da zona das máquinas CNC, construção do supermercado com as ferramentas para todos os processos, implementação do operador logístico e redução dos tempos nas trocas de ferramentas nas máquinas.As implementações de melhorias possibilitaram: (I) redução de 76% na movimentação do operador e 77% do tempo gasto para maquinar na CNC DMG; (II) redução de 70% na movimentação do operador e 72% do tempo gasto para maquinar na CNC Takumi.

Abstract:
Im Bereich der industriellen Metallurgie und Kristallzüchtung treten bei zahlreichen Anwendungen, wo magnetische Wechselfelder zur induktiven Beeinflussung von leitfähigen Werkstoffen eingesetzt werden, auch Strömungen mit freier Oberfläche auf. Das Anwendungsspektrum reicht dabei vom einfachen Aufschmelzen eines Metalls in einem offenen Tiegel bis hin zur vollständigen Levitation. Auch der sogenannte RGS-Prozess, ein substratbasiertes Kristallisationsverfahren zur Herstellung siliziumbasierter Dünnschichtmaterialien, ist dafür ein Beispiel. Um bei solchen Prozessen die Interaktion von Magnetfeld und Strömung zu untersuchen, ist die numerische Simulationen ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel. Für beliebige dreidimensionale Probleme werden entsprechende Berechnungen bisher durch eine externe Kopplung kommerzieller Programme realisiert, die für Magnetfeld und Strömung jeweils unterschiedliche numerische Techniken nutzen. Diese Vorgehensweise ist jedoch im Allgemeinen mit unnötigem Rechenaufwand verbunden. In dieser Arbeit wird ein neu entwickelter Methodenapparat auf Basis der FVM vorgestellt, mit welchem sich diese Art von Berechnungen effizient durchführen lassen. Mit der Implementierung dieser Methoden in foam-extend, einer erweiterten Version der quelloffenen Software OpenFOAM, ist daraus ein leistungsfähiges Werkzeug in Form einer freien Simulationsplattform entstanden, welches sich durch einen modularen Aufbau leicht erweitern lässt. Mit dieser Plattform wurden in foam-extend auch erstmalig dreidimensionale Induktionsprozesse im Frequenzraum gelöst.

Abstract:
Abstract Among the different commercially used Al alloys, the 7000 series offers some of the highest mechanical properties making them the material of choice for several critical engineering applications. These Al alloys often required to undergo a heat treatment process to enhance its mechanical properties to the desired levels. This process, known as Heat Treatment (HT) is a multi-step procedure which involves heating of the alloy to a set temperature followed by rapid quenching in a solution consisting of either water or glycol. Finally, the quenched alloys are subject to aging at near room or elevated temperatures which results in achieving the desired temper that has the mechanical and metallurgical properties that are needed for the application. Achieving the desired results in the HT process is extremely challenging and time-consuming. The most common industry practice is to rely on both metallurgical and manufacturing experts and resort to the costly trial-and-error approach which results in lower productivity, poor quality, and a massive waste of time, money, and energy. While there exist standard industrial specifications on the range of values to be used for heat temperatures, age soak times, and quench rates, the range is often too broad to be of any practical significance. The operators have to resort to a stop/restart approach while intermittently evaluating and testing the mechanical properties until the desired level is reached. Currently, there is a growing need to know the optimal operating parameters for the HT process. This study uses commercially available software to optimize the results for the heat treatment aging parameters using mechanical testing data such as hardness, yield strength, and electrical conductivity. Aging is the final step, and most of the time the longest step, in the HT process and therefore it is vital that the values such as age soak time are dialed in as much as possible to achieve the desired properties as soon as possible without wasting time, effort and energy.

Abstract:
Abstract Powder metallurgy (PM) is the fabrication process of compacting metal powders to shape and sintering these compacts to yield the final material’s properties. The PM compaction process allows for complex geometries to be formed that would normally lead to long and expensive machining processes from wrought steels. Special alloy selection can allow for hardening of the microstructure during the sintering procedure. The sinter hardened (SH) alloys exhibit good mechanical properties along with good hardenability and dimensional stability and may be a suitable replacement for wrought steels where low distortion from heat treatment or microstructural control is required. In this study, it was found for a complex geometry coupler application, a SH alloy could successfully replace an austenitizing heat treatment process with a low carbon steel. The low carbon steel was found to have micro heterogeneities from heat treatment that lead to premature failure in the application. Dimensional distortion and production variance were also of concern with the low carbon steel. The SH material demonstrated acceptable physical properties, hardness and microstructural uniformity to solve the concerns associated with processing of the low carbon steel coupler. Post processing optimization also added to the life performance of the coupler by tailoring the final microstructure to mating components.
