Abstract: Developed on the basis of the pilot and industrial work results, a process flow for the production of mono-block plates with 7600x7600x360 mm dimensions from a 290-ton ingot for subsequent 15H2NMFA steel bottom stamping, was carried out. A practical implementation of the developed procedure for the bottom production from mono-block large-sized plates was made. The basic technology for the mono-block plate production was applied in the conditions of Izhorskiye Zavody, OJSC and Atommash, OJSC, this technology provides for a minimum amount of reconstruction of the existing facilities of these enterprises.

Abstract: Questions about the oxidative roasting of iron ore raw materials (agglomerates and pellets) are studied. Features of the phase structure of the iron ore raw materials containing titan and vanadium are discussed. Reducibility, durability, and the softening and melting temperatures of metallurgical iron ore raw materials are studied in vitro. The objects of the research are titaniferous ores containing different amounts of titan dioxide. The behaviors of agglomerates and pellets in a blast furnace are studied, and the influence of their physical and chemical properties on heat and mass transfer processes are researched by means of a mathematical model. The main indices of blast furnace smelting—productivity, coke consumption, composition of top gas, cast iron, and slag—are shown. It is established that the increase in titanium dioxide content in pellets, as the amount of concentrate with increased TiO₂ content increases, does not cause deterioration in the quality of iron ore raw materials being prepared for blast furnace smelting. At the same time, as the hot strength of raw materials increases, the temperature at which softening begins increases and the temperature interval of softening of materials decreases.

Abstract: Review of literature on heat insulation materials shows that despite significant advancements in the developing new construction materials and methods for making them, the search for, and theoretical substantiation of, novel production methods and uses in construction in line with the today’s requirements and norms remains relevant. This paper dwells upon the general patterns in creating a porous structure in a material: foaming, aggregate grouting. It presents a study of how the formula and the technology affect the properties of foam glass concrete; experimental studies described herein are designed mathematically. Emphasis is made on the materials and products made of lightweight concrete based on porous aggregates; the paper also theorizes upon making durable high-quality products and structures from those materials: blocks, stones, partitions, panels, etc.

Abstract: One of the most important areas of energy and resource saving in construction is secondary material resources use. In modern construction, the requirements for concrete as one of the main building materials have grown so much that classical compounds are not able to provide the required qualities. Aware of this drawback, there is a tendency to improve and to change the structure and technology of modern concrete production with obtaining better physical and mechanical properties of a new building materials generation. Among the variety of technogenic wastes at the heart of the recycling problem is a significant part of cullet, which is an effective secondary resource in obtaining modern concrete compositions with ecological and economic effects. The physical-mechanical properties of a new high-efficiency thermal insulation material – foam glass concrete are presented. A method for the formation of the lightweight concrete cellular structure is proposed, and the scope of foam glass concrete products and structures is determined.

Abstract: The key and most energy-consuming process in obtaining inulin is the extraction process. The effectiveness of technology as a whole depends on this procedure. The present research is devoted to studying statics and kinetics of inulin water extraction from artichoke with the purpose of intensification, optimization and modeling of extraction process. Analysis of technical and patent literature has allowed to reveal the ways of aggregation of inulin extraction, in particular, by influence of ultrasonic oscillations on the object of processing. To study the statics of the extraction process, i.e. equilibrium states of the system of interacting substances with the purpose of determining equilibrium concentrations at different temperatures with the use of ultrasonic radiation, kinetic laws of the process and to select rational operating parameters and extraction process intensification, a series of experiments and experimental data processing were carried out. On the basis of the obtained data the process modeling is carried out and the model of mass transfer while inulin extraction is calculated. After have been analyzed the obtained results, in particular, fields of inulin concentration in Jerusalem artichoke and kinetic curves of extraction, it was concluded that in the process of extraction there are slight gradients of concentrations observed, which cause "soft" extraction modes. Furthermore, ultrasonic treatment application at the frequency of radiation 20-22 kHz reduces the duration of the extraction process and significantly increases specific output of inulin. The equations obtained are necessary not only to determine the duration of extraction and its rational mode parameters, but also to model the extraction process mathematical results. These research results can be used in the field of food science and industry, as well as in the development and design of food equipment.

Abstract: The paper describes a cause of the geometric accuracy degradation of slender metallic products during their operation, which consists in the relaxation of residual stresses accumulated while product manufacturing. The most promising technology among the existing technologies of residual stress relaxation is based on the use of vibromechanical vibrations. This technology has high performance and low energy consumption. The reason for the relaxation of residual stresses under the action of vibromechanical vibrations is the gradual accumulation of internal energy, which leads to plastic dislocation shifts upon reaching a critical level. The dislocation motion under the action of vibromechanical vibrations continues until the dislocations take a more compact layout that corresponds to the equilibrium energy state. For technological implementation of the process there was developed a method of ultrasonic stabilization of elastic plates, which serve as sensing elements in differential-pressure transducers. The experimental studies of ultrasonic stabilization are carried out. According to the results of the studies, there have been conducted tests of the microstructure of the control samples. It is established that the samples of steel 20CH13 subject to ultrasonic treatment have a more uniform structure than the samples after the factory technology of long "aging". This confirms the assumption about the structural-energy processes occurring during vibromechanical relaxation of residual stresses. The technology of ultrasonic stabilization can be recommended as a replacement to the "aging" technology on the basis of the obtained results.

Abstract: Textiles for military clothing face a complex set of challenges. They must provide protection, durability and comfort in a wide range of hostile environments. The general requirements of military textiles include damage resistance, comfort, sweat management, cold-weather conditions and the integration of high-tech materials into uniforms. This paper discusses the main concepts regarding the application of textiles in military uses, where the surrounding environments such as desert, jungle or extremely cold areas as well as the nature of the situations involved pose a threat to the soldier’s safety. Therefore, the improvement and development of fibrous materials, textile structures and finishing processes can bring new perspectives for saving lives.

Air cooling for coils to 450°C after coiling has been firstly used in the developed technology, which provides for decrease in air scale and improvement of surface quality for the customers. It is possible to manufacture rolled products up to 6×1500 mm (steel grade S355MC) in accordance with EN 10149-2 using the existing equipment without exceeding the existing process constraints during its operation and without upgrading. It is possible to further master the rolled products, which are manufactured according to the TMCP technology.
