Sequential Reduction of Chromite Pellets Using Hydrogen and Silicon Carbide for Carbon Emission Abatement During Ferrochrome Production

steel research international, EarlyView.
H2 prereduction selectively metallizes Fe in UG2 chromite pellets at 1100°C, while silicon carbide becomes active at 1300°C to convert remaining Cr2O3 to carbides and promote Cr metallization. By separating the roles of H2 and SiC, the sequential route reaches up to 65.7% Cr metallization and suppresses in‐furnace CO generation by ≈75% versus ...

Influence of Oxygen Contamination on the Genesis of Nonmetallic Inclusions in a Microalloyed Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Oxygen contamination during melting of steels strongly affects the evolution of nonmetallic inclusions. Controlled remelting experiments, combined with SEM/EDS analysis and thermodynamic simulations, reveal how reoxidation promotes the transformation of alumina‐based inclusions into complex FeO–MnO oxides and other interactions.

Barriers to Steel Decarbonization

steel research international, EarlyView.
Main identified barriers to steel decarbonization Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a leading contributor to global climate change, necessitating urgent mitigation strategies. While various metrics—such as total national emissions, per‐capita output, and historical contributions—define responsibility, determining accountability remains complex ...

Experimental and Computational Investigation of Slag–Refractory Interactions Under Conditions Relevant to Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study investigates how slag interacts with magnesia–carbon (MgO–C) refractories under conditions relevant to hydrogen plasma smelting reduction. High‐temperature refractory wear tests are combined with thermodynamic modeling to examine refractory dissolution into slag and slag infiltration into the refractory.

Characterization of Nonmetallic Inclusions in Ce‐Containing Steels at the Submicroscopic Level

steel research international, EarlyView.
Accurate detection of nonmetallic inclusions (NMIs) is crucial for ensuring high standards in steel cleanness and properties. Optimized automated SEM/EDS measurements are required for evaluating Ce‐containing NMIs. This study enhances the characterization of submicroscopic NMI in Ce‐alloyed ultralow‐carbon, high‐manganese, and electrical steels ...

Isothermal Reduction Behavior and Microstructural Evolution of Iron Ore Sinter Under Simulated Radial Blast Furnace Gas Atmospheres With Hydrogen Injection

steel research international, EarlyView.
Commercial iron ore sinter is reduced isothermally under operation‐derived radial blast furnace gas atmospheres with and without 20 kg H2/tHM injection. Hydrogen improves reduction at 900–1100 °C, whereas at 700 °C the high H2O content limits the wüstite‐to‐iron driving force.

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.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Biocarbon Injection Behavior for Electric Arc Furnace Slag Foaming

steel research international, EarlyView.
Biocarbon injection is investigated as a promising pathway for sustainable electric arc furnace steelmaking using a combined experimental–numerical approach. Results demonstrate that biocarbon can effectively penetrate slag and generate intense foaming within a defined operating window.

Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.

Enhancing durability of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts using SCMs: A comparative study with delithiated beta spodumene

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steam curing is commonly used to manufacture precast culverts to accelerate early strength development. This study investigates the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the permeability properties of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts.
