Proposed method comprises steel smelting at the following ratio of components in wt %: carbon - 0.003-0.007, manganese - 0.10-0.25, silicon - not over 0.03, sulphur - not over 0.025, phosphorus - not over 0.020, nickel - not over 0.10, chromium - not over 0.05, copper - not over 0.10, aluminium - 0.02-0.07, niobium - 0.020-0.050, titanium - 0.015-0.035, vanadium - not over 0.05, iron making the rest. Slab is subjected to hot rolling at coiling temperature of 700-750°C followed by cold rolling. Then, recrystallisation stepwise annealing with specified curing is performed at temperatures depending upon hardness of hot-rolled semi-finished stock calculated by empirical formula. Finally, temper rolling is carried out with reduction ε=0.8÷1.6%.

Method and device to produce substitute gas

Method and device to produce substitute gas

Invention relates to ferrous metallurgy, namely, to the method to produce substitute gas during recovery of material containing ferric oxide and a device for its realisation. Spent gas produced in recovery is removed and exposed to treatment from CO2, in which the residual gas containing CO2 is removed. Residual gas for levelling of oscillations of quantity and calorific capacity is temporarily stored in a gas depot, mixed with oxygen-containing gas, in particular, with pure oxygen, in a burner system, and is burnt to produce substitute gas. Substitute gas after dehydration is used as substitute of inert gas, in particular, nitrogen.

Invention relates to the field of metallurgy, in particular, to a device for adjustment of gas temperature in a manifold pipeline for supply of hot gas into a blast furnace. The device comprises a mixing reservoir with the first and second mixing chambers, which are hydrodynamically connected to each other by means of narrowing of a Venturi pipe type. The first mixing chamber is equipped with the first inlet window for supply of hot gas into the first mixing chamber, the second inlet window for supply of cold gas into the first mixing chamber and the third inlet window for supply of cold gas into the second mixing chamber. The first mixing chamber is also equipped with the first outlet window for supply of the first flow of mixed gas from the first mixing chamber into the first gas distribution system. The second mixing chamber is equipped with the second outlet window for supply of the second flow of mixed gas from the second mixing chamber into the second gas distribution system. The first flow of the mixed gas has temperature differing from the temperature of the second flow of mixed gas.
