    Simulation of Through-Hardening of Sae 52100 Steel Bearings - Part Ii: Validation at Industrial Scale
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2016) Evcil, G. E.; Mustak, O.; Simsir, C.
    In this study, the material dataset presented in part I of this article is validated at industrial scale in batch through-hardening of bearing races. The material dataset acquired is implemented in a commercial heat treatment simulation software. Heat transfer coefficients for the oil and salt bath are determined by using a commercial standard quench probe. Zone temperatures and transfer times of the roller-belt furnace are measured directly from the system. Through-hardening of inner ring (IR) of 6813 bearing in oil and salt bath is simulated considering most of the industrial details. Finally, predicted dimensional changes are compared with the coordinate measurement results and a good agreement is achieved. It is concluded that determined material and process data, idealizations and simulation procedure can be considered "validated" for further improvement of the industrial process.

    NEW TRENDS IN BASIC OXYGEN FURNACE DEPHOSPHORIZATION
    (Technical Faculty, Bor-serbia, 2020) Keskinkilic, E.
    Except for special grades of steel where it is used as an alloying element, phosphorus is regarded as an impurity that must be removed. Considering the conventional integrated iron and steelmaking, there are primarily two processes for phosphorus removal. The first is a hot metal dephosphorization (DeP) process that is applied to a blast furnace for hot metal before the steelmaking process. The second is the basic oxygen furnace steelmaking (BOS), a unique method primarily used for steelmaking, with the exception of stainless steels. Hot metal phosphorus content has a direct impact on BOS. An increase of phosphorus in hot metal is mainly related to the use of high P2O5 containing iron ores. In the current literature review, new trends of phosphorus removal in converter steelmaking are outlined. The double-slag practice was reported to be successful when hot metal P content was larger than 0.100%. It was indicated that the tapping temperature was critical for the production of low-phosphorus grades for which maximum allowable P content was 0.007% and that high tapping temperatures should be avoided. The tap-to-tap time for the double-slag process was slightly longer than the conventional converter steelmaking. It was further reported that the double-slag practice would be more economical than an establishment of a separate hot metal dephosphorization unit, if low-phosphorus grades did not have a significant share in the product mix of a steelmaking company. Endpoint phosphorus prediction was one of the important recent trends of converter steelmaking. A mixed injection of CO2-O-2 to a basic oxygen furnace was applied to enhance dephosphorization, and promising results were reported. Unfortunately, a successful process for recycling of BOS dephosphorization slag has not been reported yet.

    Simulation of Through-Hardening of Sae 52100 Steel Bearings - Part I: Determination of Material Properties
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2016) Mustak, O.; Evcil, G. E.; Simsir, C.
    A complete material dataset for the simulation of through-hardening of SAE 52100 (DIN/EN 100Cr6, JIS SUJ2) steel was derived by a combination of experimental and theoretical/computational methods. In the experimental part, alpha/quenching and deformation dilatometry techniques are combined with density measurements, X-Ray diffraction, optical and scanning electron microscopy to determine temperature and phase dependent transformation kinetics parameters, thermal and transformation strains, flow curves and the transformation plasticity parameter. Thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat and enthalpy and elastic properties are acquired by thermodynamics based material property calculation method using a commercial software. For most of the material properties, the results were in good agreement with the literature, while the minor discrepancies are discussed considering the raw material, equipment used, testing and evaluation procedure. In Part II of this article, compiled material data is validated successfully in an industrial oil and salt-bath quenching of bearing races.
