A micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating was deposited with phytic acid (PA) and tannic acid (TA) on the AZ31 Mg alloy. The surface morphologies and chemical compositions were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffractometry. Plate counting method was employed to confirm the antibacterial effect of the TA. The corrosion resistance of the coating was measured using electrochemical and hydrogen evolution tests. The results indicated that the thicker TA-MAO coating had smaller pores, no micro-cracks compared to the MAO coating, which possessed a good corrosion resistance and antibacterial activity in Hank's solution. The molecular recognition effect of TA was discussed. TA also could be used as a stabilizing agent of the hydroxyapatite (HA) precipitate during the immersion. Additionally, the corrosion mechanism for the TA-MAO coating was proposed.
Oxygen lance is the key to realize the emulsification of gas–slag–metal in the converter steelmaking process, which determines successful completion of metallurgical tasks. Herein, a 3D full‐size gas–slag–metal coupling model of the nozzle‐twisted lance in a 120t converter is established. The behavioral characteristics of gas–slag–metal of nozzle‐twisted lances (swirl angle 0°/5°/10°/15°) are studied. With the increase in the swirl angle, the axial velocity is reduced; the radial and tangential velocities are increased, and the coverage area of the slag layer, the splashing amount, and its height are reduced. In the longitudinal section, when the swirl angle increases from 0° to 15°, the areas of high‐velocity and dead zones are reduced by 15% and 36%, respectively, and the area of low‐velocity zone is increased by 17%. At different depths of molten bath, with the increase in the swirl angle, the area of high‐velocity zone first increases and then decreases; the area of low‐velocity zone increases, and the area of dead zone decreases. Finally, the industrial experiment with the nozzle‐twisted lance is carried out in a 120t converter. The phosphorus content, the carbon–oxygen product, and the total iron content in slag are all reduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
