Common Smelting Methods
Smelting is the process of extracting metallic elements from ore. As metals are naturally found in the form of ores, smelting is required to extract these metals from their ore. Smelting is an important industrial process, which involves not only the extraction of metals b......
Introduction
Hot Metal Desulfurization (HMD) is an important step in ironmaking and steelmaking. To ensure the quality of molten iron, the sulfur content must be controlled in a proper range. HMD is carried out to reduce the sulfur content of the hot metal, so as to meet the requirements of smelt......
Tracking the Migration of Sulfur in Steel
Sulfur is an important element for metallurgical engineering. It is often found in steel and has a major role in the overall properties of the steel. Its presence and migration can be very beneficial in certain cases but detrimental in others, depending o......
Vacuum metallurgy refers to a set of techniques used to process metals that have been exposed to a vacuum environment at high temperatures. These techniques are used to melt, cast and solidify metals in a more controlled and less complex environment, as opposed to traditional processes used in the......
Production Process of Heat Resistant Steel
Heat-resistant steel, which is also known as heat-resistant steel, is a type of alloy steel used in the application of high temperature and corrosive environment. It has both high strength and good high temperature oxidation resistance. In addition to it......
BS 970/4-1970(1987) Chemical Composition of Deformation Steels, Stainless Steels, Heat Resistant Steels, and Valve Steels
BS 970 Part 4-1970(1987) is a British standard covering the chemical composition requirements of deformation steels, stainless steels, heat resistant steels, and valve steels.......
The Importance of Oxygen in the Human Body
Oxygen is one of the most essential elements of life for all living organisms, providing the energy needed for physical and mental functioning. The human body needs oxygen in order to survive and optimal functioning, and a deficiency in oxygen can be det......
Spark Testing of Steel
Spark testing is a widely used quality control technique to quickly identify the presence of any foreign material in steel. This test is also used to distinguish between different grades of steel and to detect the presence of any alloying elements. The test involves creatin......
Overview
Alkaline furnace steel is steel developed to increase the wear-resistance of furnace linings and other components used in abrasive and corrosive applications. Alkaline furnace steel is made specifically through a process that involves adding alkaline compounds to steel during the manufac......
Sulfur fusion is a process used to smelt low or high sulfur from sulfur ore. This is done by burning sulfur in a specific container, usually an iron pot. It has been used for centuries and is still used today in places where the high costs of processing more complex ores like copper and zinc make ......
