developed.

The operating mechanisms of the properties of steel wastes that influence the sintering

processes of iron ore materials were established.

- On the basis of analysis of zinc base formation, its recirculation in the blast furnace

(BF) and its related productive sectors, a monograph of zinc elimination from BF was

designed.

- A residual pollution – free stream process of recovery and re – use of steel mill wastes

with high turndown ratio and capable of processing widely varying waste compositions

is designed.

Unified and generalized concepts for total reclamation of iron bearing wastes for a

typical metallurgical plant were derived.

- It will be very useful in charting a course for the Ajaokuta Steel project where at

present, no reclamation routines have been provided for in the first and second phases

of implementation.

industry”. Journal of Environmental control and rational

utilization of natural resources. Donetsk, 1992 Vol.

- An integrated system comprising three waste - recycling technologies is developed:

the application of sludge after thickening to cool the sinter returns and to humidify the

dried components of the sinter burden in place of water; the mechanical treatment of

the sludge for use in the sintering process; the blending of the sludge with dried

wastes.

- Considering the fact that some wastes are hydrophobic materials and a great

numbers of fine materials are found in the sinter burden, the nodulization of waste

mix after the blender and charging of the produced micropellets of sizes 2 – 7 mm

into the burden mixer is proposed.

- Establishment of material balance for continuous iron oxide wastes recycling with

particular emphasis on the partition of volatile matters (finely grained sludge)

between various phases. Estimation shows that the ratio of influx of zinc in the blast

furnace sludge to the initial charge depends not only on its content in the burden, but

also on the quantity of generated wastes.

Aluminum Alloy 6063. Journal of Metallurgical and

Shear stress-shear strain relationship model for deep drawn metals have been developed

using the classical Bernouilli-Euler beam theory. The relationship is derived from the macro

mechanical properties of the metal and its tool geometry. The model was used to determine

the degree of disorder of the crystal structure (λ), the Taylor hardening factor (M) and

dislocation density (K). The developed empirical model can account for small strains in the

zone where Voce relation fails. This developed analytical model can be used at the quality

control department to determine the homogeneities recovery of rolled sheets after annealing

and the likely presence of residual stresses that could enhance stress corrosion cracking.

- The paper examines the variation of the plastic strain ratio (R), dislocation density

processing of sheet annealing after the rolling performed prior to cupping. This could

be a tool for quality control department thereby avoiding the tedious sample

preparation encountered during microstructural investigation of aluminum alloy when

This paper studies the quench sensitivity of AA 6063. Air, water, brine, spent automobile

samples after solution treatment (5600C, at 1 hour) is done at 1750C for 8 hours. The study

reveals that the volume and size of the intermetallic Mg2Si formed, which is dependent on

the severity of the quenchants affects the mechanical properties of AA 6063. Optimum

combination of hardness, tensile strength and ductility over the extruded properties can be

obtained with cooling in brine solution after solution treatment.

This paper examines the corrosion behaviour of aluminium (AA 1017) alloy in

different domestic food – cooking at a temperature other than ambient temperature. The

annealed aluminum alloy, which was heated and left standing in the air showed a higher

cumulative corrosion rate when placed in lycopersicum esculentum solution than in

capsicum annum or allium cepa solutions. The specimen heated and then super cooled in a

refrigerator showed remarkably low level of corrosion in the 288 – hour duration of the

experiment.

Effects of Quenching Variables on the Fracture

Toughness of 0.3 C Hypo – Eutectoid Plain Carbon Steel.

Proceedings 2nd International Conference on Engineering

Research and Developments: Innovations, ICERD08030:

15 – 17 April, 2008, University of Benin, Benin City, 2008

pp. 145 - 151

The paper studies the relative influence of austenizing temperature, quenching media,

soaking time, size and shape of materials, and surface condition on the fracture response of

plain carbon steel. The study reveals that the fracture toughness decreases with increasing

austenitizing temperature and soaking time; and rise when quenching is delayed or at

increased plate thickness. Fracture toughness is higher when quenched in oil than in brine

solution. The oil and greasy surface records higher value of fracture toughness than clean

surface. These results are attributed to the differential distribution of the phase of

martensite, ferrite (pearlite) and retained austenite.

- This paper identifies and evaluates the circumstances (raw material base, the energy

requirement and human resource) under which the development of steel industry in

Nigeria is desirable and economically justified.

- A critical appraisal of the blast furnace technology in the face of new technologies

such as the Corex and Fastmet has been attempted.

- It defines the opportunities for the steel development and derives recommendations

as to the governmental and non-governmental role and approach to support the

target sector.
