Afanasiev V.К., Dolgovа S.V., Chernysh A.P., Sankina O.V., Sagalakova M.M., Sankin A.S. On the formation of blast-furnace iron structure
It is suggested considering that hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are components of a united community HCNO – an organism that under action on ferrous charge materials forms what in the worldwide practice by convention is called iron. Investigation into blast-furnace iron revealed that the slowest cooling of iron results in the formation of ledeburite structure. Remelting of blast-furnace iron in arc and induction furnaces distorts the natural dark mass/solid solution ratio with accompanying change in structure and “flake graphite” formation. The proposed theses are necessary for creating new technologies of production and machining of multipurpose high-carbon ferrous materials.
Key words: Common HCNO, pig iron, microstructure, of flake graphite.
