Foam Ceramic Filters for Molten Metals: Reality and Prospects

General aspects are considered for using foam-ceramic filters in casting. Examples are given of these filters used under laboratory and industrial conditions for filtering aluminum, magnesium, and ferrous alloys. It is shown that the filter material affects the microstructure and properties of the filtered alloy. Future lines for such research are formulated.     

Characterization of Ceramic Foam Filters Used for Liquid Metal Filtration

In the current study, the morphology including tortuosity, and the permeability of 50-mm thick commercially available 30, 40, 50, and 80 pores per inch (PPI) alumina ceramic foam filters (CFFs) have been investigated. Measurements have been taken of cell (pore), window, and strut sizes, porosity, tortuosity, and liquid permeability. Water velocities from ~0.015 to 0.77 m/s have been used to derive both first-order (Darcy) and second-order (Non-Darcy) terms for being used with the Forchheimer equation. Measurements were made using 49-mm “straight through” and 101-mm diameter “expanding flow field” designs. Results from the two designs are compared with calculations made using COMSOL 4.2a^® 2D axial symmetric finite element modeling (FEM), as a function of velocity and filter PPI. Permeability results are correlated using directly measurable parameters and compared with the previously published results. Development of improved wall sealing (49 mm) and elimination of wall effects (101 mm) have led to a high level of agreement between experimental, analytic, and FEM methods (±0 to 7 pct on predicted pressure drop) for both types of experiments. Tortuosity has been determined by two inductive methods, one using cold-solidified samples at 60 kHz and the other using liquid metal at 50 Hz, giving comparable results.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation on Heat Propagation Through Composite Sinter Bed With Non-Uniform Voidage. Part I Mathematical Model and Its Experimental Verification

The mechanisms of heat transfer through the sinter beds of the MEBIOS process are discussed and their comprehensive mathematical model is proposed. The MEBIOS process, the concept of which has been proposed earlier by the authors, allows using both coarse and fine particles of iron ores in the same sinter bed. The study includes two parts. The first part describes the model content and the results of its experimental verification. The model accounts for coal combustion, limestone decomposition, moisture evaporation/condensation, and melting/solidifying of solid phases. The model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data. Typical numerical results of the sintering process and the key parameters influencing the process efficiency are discussed in the second part of the study.

Investigation of Flow Characteristics in a Six‐Strand CC Tundish Combining Plant Measurements,Physical and Mathematical Modeling

The tundish plays a major role in the continuous casting process. The flow in a tundish has a very substantial effect on the quality of the final product and on efficient casting conditions. Efforts are being made worldwide to obtain the most favourable shape of tundish interior by using dams, weirs and gas curtains. The aim of these flow control devices is to reduce the dead zone areas and improve the conditions for the separation of non‐metallic inclusions. Numerous model studies are being carried out to explain the effect of the tundish working space shape and steel flow conditions on the inclusions floating processes. The presented article shows the results of investigations performed to obtain the mass exchange characteristics in the investigated tundish. The measurements were done directly at the steel plant during normal working conditions. By controlling the changing content of manganese in steel, the residence time distribution (RTD) characteristics were acquired. The RTD characteristics are also obtained with a water model of the tundish with dimensional scale of 1:3. Parallel to the water model, numerical simulation based on mathematical modelling of fluid flow, relying on the system of differential equations, is employed in the research work. Numerical simulations were carried out with the finite‐volume commercial code FLUENT using the standard k‐ε turbulence model. The primary purpose of the investigations carried out is to present the characteristics describing the transitory zone in a six‐strand tundish. It is shown that the F‐curve, describing the transitory zone, can be obtained by using different measurement techniques. Tracer concentration characteristics for the model of tundish obtained from both modelling techniques ‐ physical as well as numerical ‐ are very similar.

Modeling and Analysis of High-Energy Ball Milling Through Attritors

The effects of major processing parameters of attritor mills on ball milling efficiency (i.e., minimum energy consumption with maximum milling progress) are investigated using discrete element modeling (DEM). The major processing parameters investigated include the size of balls, ball volume fraction inside the canister, ball milling velocity, and design of the impeller shaft of the attritor mill. Their effects are studied through examination of the output parameters including the average speed of balls, maximum speed of balls, and torque applied on the impeller shaft. The torque on the impeller shaft represents the energy consumption during ball milling, while the difference between the maximum and average speeds of balls scales with the compressive pressure during “mini-forging” of powder particles trapped between the colliding balls and thus scales with milling progress (particle deformation and size reduction). The simulation reveals that the ball milling velocity, ball volume fraction inside the canister, ball size, and impeller shaft design are all important parameters for energy-efficient ball milling. In particular, high ball milling velocities can lead to larger particle deformation and faster size reduction with minimum energy consumption. Further, ball sizes smaller than the gap that will not be hit by impellers directly are good for high-energy-efficient ball milling. Otherwise, energy consumption increases substantially.

     

Stiffness Evaluation and Damage Detection of Ceramic Candle Filters

This paper presents a nondestructive evaluation method to identify the structural stiffness of ceramic candle filters. A ceramic candle filter is a hollow cylindrical structure made of a porous ceramic material used in advanced, coal-fired power generation systems. The candle filters need to sustain an extreme thermal and chemical environment over a great period of time to protect the gas turbine components from exposure to particulate matter. A total of 92 new candle filters and 29 used candle filters have been tested nondestructively using a dynamic characterization technique. All filters were subjected to an excitation force, and the response was picked up by an accelerometer in a free-free boundary condition. The frequency response function and vibration mode shapes of each filter were evaluated. Beam vibration equations and finite-element models were built to calculate the filter's dynamic response. Results indicate that the vibration signatures can be used as an index to quantify the structural properties of ceramic candle filters. The results also show estimations of the overall bending stiffness values for four different types of candle filters. The used filters show a trend of stiffness degradation, which was related to the filter's exposure time. Damage detection procedures using modal strain energy and finite-element simulation were studied for detection of a localized damage in the candle filter. The location and the size of the damaged section can be identified using the measured model strain energy.

Effect of Foaming Temperature on Bubble Size Distribution of Liquid Aluminium Foam: Modeling and Experimental Studies

The present study examines the effect of foaming temperature on the final foam expansion and the bubble size distribution of liquid aluminium foam through mathematical modeling and validation experiments. The model calculates the rate of hydrogen release from the foaming agent (TiH₂) particles, super saturation of the melt, nucleation and growth of bubbles and finally, evaluates the evolving bubble size distribution using a population balance approach. The model does not consider bubble coalescence and breakage and uses only solute diffusion for bubble growth. The simulation is performed for two conditions; firstly, for pure temperature effects and secondly, for temperature and TiH₂ quantity combined effects. Upon comparison of simulation results with the experiments, following important observations are made; firstly, the predicted total number of bubbles is found to be one order of magnitude higher than the experiments while the predicted average size is one order of magnitude lower. Secondly, the spread of the predicted distributions is observed to be much narrower. These discrepancies are considered to be due to bubble coalescence and coarsening which are not modeled and shown to be strongly influenced by the foaming temperature.
