Melting of high-carbon ferrochrome using coal of the saryadyr deposit

The article presents the results of large-scale laboratory tests on the smelting of high-carbon ferrochrome with the replacement of parts metallurgical coke with high-ash coal from the Saryadyr deposits. According to the test results, it can be stated that the optimal percentage of replacing metallurgical coke with high-ash Saradyr coal is 30 – 40 %. During a large-scale laboratory test, it was also established that the cost of the alloy was reduced due to the partial replacement of expensive coke and removes the fluxing component of quartzite from the charge composition, and improves the TPE of the high-carbon ferrochrome smelting process

Development of Smelting Technology of Complex Ferroalloy with the Use of High-ash Coals

The article presents the results of studies that contribute to solving the problem of extraction of aluminum from the ash part of high-ash coals and its further application in ferrous metallurgy. Technologies of obtaining multicomponent complex alloys, including ferrosilicon aluminum, aluminosilicate manganese, and aluminum-silicon-chrome were described in detail. These complex alloys are designed for deoxidation and partial alloying of steel, as well as for the metal-thermal production of various ferroalloys. The main charge material for their production is high-ash coals, which are not used in the national economy and belong to man-made waste. The content of solid carbon in high-ash coals is sufficient for the passage of all reduction reactions, which eliminates the use of expensive coke from the process chain. The use of cheap materials and the refusal to use metallurgical coke allows smelting complex alloys at a relatively low cost. The article also presents the results of a series of large-scale laboratory and pilot tests on the smelting of the above complex alloys using high-ash coals from various coal basins of Kazakhstan. A detailed analysis was made to identify the advantages and disadvantages of the developed technologies in comparison with their analogues.

Thermodynamic modeling of phase composition for Fe-Ca-Si-Al system

In this paper, theoretical studies on the construction of phase structure diagrams of the Fe-Ca-Si-Al system as modeling composition of alloy by Thermodynamic-diagram analysis (TDA) were carried out. TDA analysis allows predicting the optimal composition of alloys using phase structure diagrams of the multicomponent systems. TDA excludes complex mathematical apparatus. Also, TDA allows to obtaine data for the Fe-Ca-Si-Al system, a diagram of phase relationships, each elementary subsystem of which is independent. By analyzing the binary systems, the state diagram of Fe-Ca-Si-Al metal system was constructed, which simulates the final phase composition of the ferroalloy. The reliability of the effectiveness of these methods is confirmed by large-scale laboratory melting tests

Recovery of low-carbon ferrochrome with multi-component aluminum-silicon-chrome (Al - Si - Cr) alloy

The paper describes pilot smelting of low-carbon ferrochrome (LCFC) with new type of reductant – multi-component aluminum-silicon-chrome alloy (FASCh). Provisional calculations confirmed by results of pilot smelting show that use of FASCh alloy helps to stabilize LCFC slag and prevent its decomposition. Due to high Al content in FASCh the phase area of slag shifts from dicalcium silicate (larnite- Са2SiO4) area into the helenite area (2 CaO ∙ Al2O3 ∙ SiO2)

Experimental studies on obtaining a complex aluminum-silicon-chrome alloy (FASCh) from Karaganda high-ash coals and high-carbon ferrochromefines were carried out. A method for smelting low-carbon ferrochrome using aluminum-silicon-chrome alloy as a reductant is suggested

5-YEAR SURVIVAL OF PATIENTS WITH STAGE II UTERINE CANCER DEPENDING ON MORPHOLOGIC FEATURES OF TUMOR

Retrospective data of treatment results of 109 patients with rarely observed stage II uterine cancer, admitted to N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center from 1980 to 2000 is analyzed. Correlation of overall 5-year survival rates of stage IIA and IIB uterine can- cer patients with a number of tumor morphologic features is studied. The influence of some non-elucidated morphologic features of stage IIA and IIB uterine cancer such as the degree of cellular anaplasia, the depth of tumor invasion into the uterine neck, lymho- vascular invasion into the myometrium and uterine neck, microscopic vessels density in the area of the most extensive invasion, the presence of necrotic areas in the tumor tissue on long-term treatment results are analyzed

An embedding technique to determine ττ backgrounds in proton-proton collision data

An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model tau tau backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed mu mu events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique described in this paper was developed for CMS. Its validation and the inherent uncertainties are also discussed. The demonstration of the performance of the technique is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS in 2017 at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb(-1).Peer reviewe
