Using new physics and technology to advance electrostimulated rolling of metals and alloys

Electrostimulated deformation of metals and alloys, using groove or smooth rolling, requires that several important conditions are satisfied. (1) The deformation site must geometrically overlap with the flow of electric current passing through a strip between the rolls; (2) The density of direct or alternating electric current supplied to deformation site must be sufficiently high (of an order of 104-106A/cm2 ); (3) An efficient heat removal from the deformation site must be achieved. In general, the temperature of a strip must be within the range of 100-300℃. (4) The electric resistance at the roll-strip interface must be minimized. Our recent studies also indicate that the electrostimulated rolling in the shortcut regime is a further condition for obtaining high quality rolling of metals. In this regime, the rolls are placed in physical contact even in the absence of a strip that ensures an uninterrupted passage of electric current between the rolls.Provided that the aforementioned conditions are met, the plastic rolling deformation of various metals and lloys, including the most refractory and deformation resistant ones such as tungsten, molybdenum,their allows with rhenium, becomes possible. A single pass through the rolls is usually sufficient to deform a strip by about 50%- 70% as is the case for tungsten. Significantly, the temperature in the deformation site does not exceed 150-200℃.In our opinion, excellent results for electrostimulated rolling obtained by us are related to new previously unknown behavior of metals and alloys, being subject to pressure treatment and rolling.

用氮气和戊基黄药浮选时黄铁矿的低电位疏水状态

为了解释和查明N2TEC浮选法的基本原理，本文报道了在用戊基钾黄药(PAX)作捕收剂时，黄铁矿的低电位疏水状态的研究成果。新制定的N2TEC浮选法的目的是提高难处理含金硫化矿金回收率。在典型的N2TEC浮选法中，用氮气代替空气作为浮选气体，戊基钾黄药作为评选含金黄铁矿颗粒的捕收剂。l997年3月，第一个N2TEC浮选工艺在内华达州Lone Tree矿山浮选厂投产，一直操作至今。根据电化学校制接触角测量结果，研究了黄铁矿的低电位、低pH疏水状态与浮选变量(pH、气相组成、捕收剂浓度和黄铁矿电位)之间的关系。
