ELECTROSLAG TECHNOLOGY
Eryomin E.N. and Zherebtsov S.N. Centrifugal electroslag casting of tractor bushings of turning hinge 5
Technology and equipment of a bay for centrifugal casting of thin-wall bushings of the K-700 tractor turning hinge are described. Results of the cast metal tests and advantages of the metal are shown.
ELECTRON BEAM PROCESSES
Grechanyuk N.I., Osokin V.A., Grechanyuk I.N., Kucherenko P.P., Minakova R.V., Golovkova M.E. and Kopylova G.E. Composite materials on base of copper and molybdenum, condensed from vapor phase, for electric contacts. Structure, properties, technology. Part 2. Fundamentals of electron beam technology for producing materials for electric contacts 8
Design peculiarities of the installation for performing high-rate electron beam evaporation-condensation are presented. Peculiarities of copper-base phase composition and structure of solidified pool (melt) are studied. Assumption is made about interrelation between structural-phase condition of the melt and rate of evaporation-condensation. Peculiarities of surface structure and condensate volume in various sections (before and after etching) are investigated. Technological defects and their influence on strength and ductility of the condensate during tensile test are considered. Interrelation between temperature dependence of strain activation energy, peculiarities of condensate failure, and technological defects of its structure of different origin are studied.
PLASMA-ARC TECHNOLOGY
Zhadkevich M.L., Shapovalov V.A., Melnik G.A., Zhirov D.M., Zhdanovsky A.A., Tsykulenko K.A. and Prikhodko M.S. Plasma liquid-phase reduction of iron from its oxides using gaseous reducers 18
It was established that rate and completeness of the process of liquid-phase reduction of iron from its oxides using gaseous reducers are mostly influenced by temperature in the reaction space, flow and composition of the reducer, and slag basicity. Equipment and methodology for investigation of the process, in which plasma heating is used for ensuring necessary temperature and activation of the reducer, are described. Influence of the gaseous reducer flow and composition on efficiency of its use, rate, and completeness of the reduction reaction proceeding, effect of the slag basicity on completeness of iron reduction and content of sulfur and phosphorus in it in case of using plasma heat sources are determined.
GENERAL PROBLEMS OF METALLURGY
Borisova A.L., Borisov Yu.S., Adeeva L.I., Tunik A.Yu., Karpets M.V. and Doroshenko L.K. Effect of alloying on composition, structure and properties of powders of alloy AlCuFe, containing quasi-crystalline phase 22
Results of investigation of effect of scandium and chromium on structure, phase composition and technological properties of powders of alloy AlCuFe, designed for producing thermal coatings, containing quasi-crystalline phase, are presented. Behavior of powders in heating was studied using method of differential thermal analysis, which allows predicting phase transformation processes that proceed under conditions of thermal spraying of coatings.
Firstov S.A., Zamkov V.N. , Brodnikovsky N.P., Topolsky V.F., Kotko A.V., Samelyuk A.V. and Golovash A.V. Investigation of structure and mechanical properties of Ti_7.2Al2.9Mo_2.7W₃Nb_2.3Zr_0.4Si alloy 30
Structure and mechanical properties of alloy Ti_7.2Al2.9Mo_2.7W₃Nb_2.3Zr_0.4Si were studied after rolling and heat treatment. It is shown that complex alloying leads mainly to the solution hardening, though a small amount of silicides is precipitated. Oxidation in deforming in air affects ductile properties even at 550Д600 °C. Increase of diffusion mobility enables reduction of strain hardening at above 600 °C and causes drastic reduction of yield strength above 650°C. Reduction of fracture surface fragmentation by means of temperature increase from 550 to 650 °C up to achievement of 100 % relative reduction in area is explained by preservation of the amount of inhomogeneities of strain origin.

It is shown that plasma processing is an alternative to traditional processes of combustion and disposal of processed wastes, especially organic ones. Main advantages and shortcomings of the latter ones are presented. Method of steam-plasma (water steam is used as a plasma gas) gasification is proposed, which received the name PLAZER. Data on the main technological peculiarities of the process are presented. It is shown that proposed process of steam-plasma conversion of wastes will make it possible to guarantee higher efficiency and environmental safety of waste processing, and application of obtained as a result of the waste processing synthesis-gas for organization of electrical energy and liquid fuel production will enable development of alternative processes of energy production.
