Design and Preparation of Thin Specification 550 MPa Corrosion-resistant High-strength Steel for Coal Mine EnvironmentAbstract:The complex corrosive environment in underground coal mines seriously threatens the safety and service life of equipment,and traditional high-strength steel is difficult to meet the demands.This paper aims at the characteristics of weak alkalinity and high mineralization degree of mine water in coal mines.Through systematic analysis of the corrosion mechanism,the design and preparation of 550 MPa corrosion-resistant high-strength steel with a thin specification of 10-25 mm are carried out.When designing the composition,mechanical,welding and corrosion resistance properties are taken into account,and the online quenching+medium-temperature tempering process is adopted.Experiments show that the produced Q550D corrosion-resistant high-strength steel has an average yield strength of≥570 MPa,an average tensile strength of ≥ 650 MPa,an average elongation after fracture of ≥18%,and an average longitudinal impact energy of≥150 J at-20℃.It has excellent mechanical properties.Its average corrosion rate is only two-thirds of that of traditional Q550D steel,and its corrosion resistance is 1.5 times higher.The research results provide high-quality steel for coal mine engineering and have an improving effect on ensuring safe production and reducing costs.
Modeling of Temperature Prediction in LF Refining ProcessAbstract:The current LF refining endpoint temperature prediction is mainly based on the heat balance of the LF refining process,which is achieved through existing empirical judgment,theoretical analysis,big data regression,and other methods.However,it does not fully consider factors such as the temperature drop of different ladle conditions and the waiting time after the ladle leaves the station.On the basis of fully considering the significant influencing factors in the LF refining station,this paper focuses on the actual situation and conducts regression analysis on different types of ladle conditions and production organization modes.Real time temperature prediction models and endpoint temperature prediction models for the LF refining process are constructed,and verified online in different steel mills at 4 × 120 t and 4 × 210 t,with the deviation between predicted temperature and measured temperature fully meeting normal actual production,providing accurate guidance for temperature control in the LF refining process.
Development and Application of a Sintering Ore Blending Optimization System Based on the Local Linear Iterative MethodAbstract:In the process of iron ore sintering and blending optimization in steel production,fluctuations in iron ore supply and prices result in a wide variety of raw materials and complex blending ratios.This complexity transforms the optimization problem from linear to nonlinear.Traditional linear programming methods struggle to effectively handle these nonlinear issues,leading to low computational efficiency and difficulty in obtaining global optimal solutions.To address these challenges,this study proposes a solution based on a locally linear iterative method.By introducing slack variables and numerical differentiation,nonlinear constraints are transformed into linear forms,and iterative approximations gradually converge to the optimal solution,significantly improving computational efficiency and stability.Focusing on minimizing sintering production costs,the system integrates technologies such as MATLAB and MySQL to construct a sintering ore blending optimization model.Practical applications demonstrate that the model can generate global optimal solutions within 10 seconds while satisfying complex constraints,reducing the production cost per ton of sintered ore by 5.8 Yuan.This approach delivers substantial economic benefits to enterprises.
