Effect of slag inclusions on the density and the surface tension of liquid 32G2 and 32G1 steels

详细

The density and the surface tension of liquid 32G2 and 32G1 steels are experimentally studied. Samples are cut from oil-and-gas pipes having different degrees of imperfection. The experimental results are used to find the effect of the defects detected by magnetic-powder and ultrasonic inspection methods on the temperature dependences of the density and the surface tension of liquid 32G2 and 32G1 steels. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of the concepts of a microheterogeneous structure of metallic melts. Microheterogeneities are irreversibly destroyed when the liquid 32G2 steel is heated to 1700°C and the 32G1 steel, to 1750°C.
