Abstract Tons of waste is produced during iron steel’s industrial production, creating environmental pollution. This work aims to characterize the steel scale formed on billet surface last step production in SIDERPERU plant. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows stacked layers one above other billets scales surface. Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Fluorescence (XRF) reveal high content Fe O, with Ca, Si, Mn, Cr as minority elemental compounds. Diffraction (XRD) FeO, α-Fe 2 O 3 4...
Abstract A billet is a bar made from crude steel which surface contains scales are rich in iron oxides. This study presents the carbothermal reduction of formed billets. The process included reaction oxides contents with carbon (in ratio 5:1) and annealing tubular furnace under argon atmosphere. occurred reactions discussed using thermodynamic calculations thermal analysis indicate three-stage Fe 3 O 4 ➔ FeO C ➔α-Fe intermediate at interval temperature 960 1300 °C. X-ray diffraction confirms...
Granularity is one of the main features restricting maximum current which a superconductor can carry without losses, persisting as an important research topic when applications are concerned. To directly observe its effects on typical thin superconducting specimen, we have modeled simplest possible granular system by fabricating single artificial weak-link in center high-quality Nb film using focused ion beam technique. Then, microstructural, magnetic, and electric properties both normal...
Minor loops of solubilized and aged samples maraging-400 steel were measured mathematically analyzed. The descending ascending parts the hysteresis curves obtained for this soft ferromagnetic material fit with polynomials varying degree. fits successful polynomial coefficients revealed that a symmetry operation (S2) transforms part into (or vice versa). Based on particular mathematical relation between polynomials, an analytical expression minor loop area was as function specific maximum...
Cu1−xFexO nanoparticles were prepared using a freeze-drying process followed by heat treatment. The particles then characterized Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization techniques. results revealed complex magnetic behavior, which can be attributed to the presence of two different regions: particle core, has antiferromagnetic fluctuations, shell, where uncompensated spins are responsible for their superparamagnetic characteristics. At low temperatures, moments freeze, revealing...
Abstract The primary process in an electrical arc furnace (EAF) during industrial steelmaking results tons of black slags which cause pollution to the environment. In this work, iron oxides generated EAF from SIDERPERU plant, Peru was reduced via carbothermal reaction. reduction slag α-Fe is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, Mӧssbauer spectroscopy and magnetometry. However, phases with calcium silicon persist sample after process. thermodynamic calculations most probable reactions sequence...
Ni1−xFexO single phase nanoparticles, synthesized by lyophilization and heat treatment, were characterized microscopic spectroscopic techniques searching for evidence of a core-shell structure. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, more extensively Mössbauer spectroscopy applied in this study.

Abstract The steel industry produces large amounts of slag coming from different stages during the steelmaking process every year. Currently, there are numerous attempts to recycle it or use in some other sectors and preserve environment. characteristics depends on is crucial have before any attempt recycling. In this work, sample produced ladle furnace SIDERPERU plant were collected analyzed by using energy dispersion X-ray (EDX), diffraction (XRD), fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), SQUID...
