Item Determining the Thermally-Stressed State of Motor-Driven Bowls for Transporting Liquid Slag(РС ТЕСHNOLOGY СЕNTЕR, Kharkiv, 2024) Povorotnii, Viktor V.; Shcherbyna, Iryna V.; Zdanevych, Serhiі V.; Diachenko, Nina K.; Kimstach, Tetiana V.; Solonenko, Lyudmila I.; Usenko, Ruslan V.ENG: Slag bowls were chosen as the object of research, as important components of blast furnace, steelmaking, and ferroalloy shops of metallurgical enterprises. The main problem of operation of any slag trucks is their limited durability and frequent destruction of slag bowls. The reason for these problems is changes in the shape of the bowls during operation, manifested in the formation of narrowing places in the area of the support ring – for rail-mounted bowls, destruction of supporting pins – for rail-mounted slag trucks, or cracks in the walls. Those defects appear as a result of cyclic thermal effects of liquid slag on the bowl. Based on the results of computer simulation, it was established that the main role in the destruction of the support pins of motor-driven slag bowls belongs to temperature changes. The temperature stresses arising in the bowl are localized in the area of the slag mirror (200–250 MPa for 25L steel, 280–350 MPa for 30HML steel). The results provide grounds for improving the presented slag bowl to reduce temperature stresses in its walls and structures of the supporting trunnions. The results reported here are explained by the fact that with uneven heating of elastic bodies, temperature stresses appear, which, under certain configurations of temperature loads, lead to the destruction of structures. The findings from these studies are recommended to be used at enterprises for the design and manufacture of slag bowls, as information on the localization of dangerous places of the structure. In addition, the data presented here could be useful for metallurgical enterprises for detailed technical diagnosis of bowls in their dangerous places.Item Influence of Ice Structure on Vitability of Frozen Sand-Water and Sand-Clay Mixtures(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2024) Solonenko, L. I.; Uzlov, Kostiantyn I.; Kimstach, Tetiana V.; Mianovska, Ya. V.; Yakymenko, D. Yu.ENG: Purpose. To establish influence regularity of sand, water and clay preparation conditions on vitability of frozen mixtures made from combinations of these components and to increase the castings quality in foundries, as well as to improve technologies for artificial freezing of soils for underground constructions. Methodology. In this research, sand, clay, and water are used. Ice quality is estimated visually after water freezing at -15 °C in glass tubes. Frozen mixtures’ vitability at -15 °C is studied on beam-type samples. As indicators of survivability, the time to 1 mm bending of samples on supports and the time to their destruction are accepted. The time is recorded with a stopwatch, the temperature with an alcohol thermometer, the mass with electronic scales and the deflection arrow with a clock-type indicator. Findings. The presence and amount of water-soluble impurities in rare water significantly influence the nature, size and distribution of gas bubbles in ice, as well as frozen sand-water mixtures vitability. Frozen mixtures’ survivability increases with water content in them increasing, and, for sand water mixtures, survivability is maximum if ice has a homogeneous structure. Among mixtures with clays, the mixture with non-swollen kaolin clay has the greatest vitability. Regarding survivability, recommendations for manufacturing products from frozen foundry mixtures have been developed. Originality. For the first time, deformation change kinetics (bending arrows) under the influence of beam-type samples’ self-mass from mixtures of quartz sand and water and quartz sand, clay and water frozen at -15 °C, which have been previously prepared in different ways, have been investigated. Insights into the influence of various factors and ice quality on the vitability of frozen mixtures have been further developed. Practical value. The obtained results can be useful for expanding ideas about natural frozen soils’ behavior during their cyclic temperature changes, soils artificially frozen during mine shafts elaboration, escalators’ and junctions’ tunnels, etc. when constructing subways. In foundries, the developed recommendations will reduce technological losses and will improve casting quality made using frozen casting molds and cores from sand-water or sand-clay-water mixtures, castings’ patterns and their pouring systems from sand-water mixtures.Item Water Resistance of Structured Sand-Sodium-Silicate Mixtures(Dnipro University of Technology, 2021) Solonenko, L. I.; Repiakh, Serhii I.; Uzlov, Kostiantyn I.; Mamuzich, I.; Bilyi, Oleksandr P.; Kimstach, Tetiana V.ENG: Purpose. To establish regularities of changes in sand-sodium-silicate mixtures (SSSM) relative water resistance, structured by steam-microwave solidification method (SMS), on their structuring parameters and sodium silicate solute (SSS) dissolution conditions. Methodology. Technical purity water, SSS with 2.8–3.0 silicate modulus, quartz sand with 0.23 mm average particle size were used in this work. Studies were carried out on quartz sand samples, which were preliminarily cladded with 0.5–2.5 % (by weight) SSS and structured by SMS method. The fracture time of structured mixtures was evaluated on cubic specimens with 20 mm rib length, which were immersed in water at different temperatures. Findings. Changes in SSSM water resistance in water regularities depending on their manufacturing, use and storage conditions were established. Recommendations for SSSM rods removal from castings in water were developed. Originality. For the first time, it has been established that relative water resistance of the SSSM structured by SMS method decreases along with increase in water temperature in which it is destroyed. Depending on SSS mass used for quartz sand cladding in range 0.5–2.5 %, water resistance dependence on treatment in steam-microwave environment with 2–7 minutes’ running time acquires an inversion character with inversion point ∼3.1 minutes into the processing. For the first time, it has been discovered that in boiling water the relative water resistance of SSSM, structured by SMS-process and having preheating, monotonically increases with preheating temperature rising from 100 to 600 °С, sharply increases when heated to 600–700 °С and practically becomes absolute after preliminarily preheating to higher temperatures. Practical value. Research results will be useful in concepts of processes accompanying destruction of structured sands with water-soluble binders expanding, as well as in technologies and equipment development designed for SSS rods and mold rests removing from castings.
