Prospects of Eliminating Fluorspar Consumption in a Sustainable Argon‐Oxygen‐Decarburization Process

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study aims at identifying pathways for eliminating fluorspar consumption in the argon‐oxygen‐decarburization (AOD) process. Thermodynamic calculations suggest the feasibility of completely replacing fluorspar with alternative fluxes such as Al2O3, Na2O, K2O, and Li2O of suitable amounts.

The experience of using calcium carbide for the deoxidation of steel to replace aluminum in the conditions of OJSC «BSW – Management company of the holding «BMC»

Литьë и металлургия, 2020
The article deals with issues related to the use of calcium carbide in steelmaking, instead of secondary aluminum and other deoxidizing materials, in order to reduce the cost of deoxidizing steel and slag.It was assumed that reducing the content of ...

Facile and Efficient Synthesis of Dual‐Defect NiFe Layered Double Hydroxides for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In electrocatalysis, traditional single‐atom catalysts (SACs) face challenges in achieving coordinated control of reaction pathways due to limitations such as single local energy levels and carrier recombination. By introducing an additional defect structure, it is possible to break the electronic structure symmetry, thereby activating SACs ...

A Thermodynamic‐Kinetic Model for Basic Oxygen Furnace Tapping: Improved Prediction of Phosphorus and Steel‐Slag Evolution

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 7, Page 3474-3484, July 2026.
This study develops a thermodynamic–kinetic model for basic oxygen furnace tapping and validates its accuracy under near‐equilibrium and far‐from‐equilibrium initial conditions. Comparison with a reference model demonstrates its broader applicability. The model further reveals the evolution of key steel and slag components, providing new transparency ...

Preparation of Titanium Metal by Deoxygenation Under KCl-NaCl-YCl₃ System Using Soluble Anode

Metals
Titanium metal is primarily produced via the Kroll process, which is characterized by a semi-continuous production flow and a lengthy process cycle, resulting in high production costs. Researchers have explored alternative methods for titanium production,

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Reduction of Oxide Inclusions During the High‐Frequency Welding of Steel via a Nonthermal Ar/H2 Plasma Jet

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...

Handbook of Establishing and Maintaining Oxygen‐Free Atmospheres

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
This study presents a practical framework for creating oxygen‐free atmospheres at ambient pressure using silane‐doped inert gases. The results show that ultra‐low oxygen levels and strongly reduced water content can be achieved through controlled silane dosing, drying systems, and sensor monitoring.

Oxide‐Free Titanium Coatings by Wire Arc Spraying in a Silane‐Doped Inert Atmosphere

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
A silane‐doped argon atmosphere enables the production of oxide‐free titanium coatings via twin‐wire arc spraying at ambient pressure. This innovative approach eliminates residual oxygen, creating process conditions that prevent oxidation and nitride formation.
