Abstract
Phase composition and microstructure of the doping alloy obtained by regenerative smelting of technogenic wastes were studied. This is necessary to determine technological characteristics that increase the degree of extraction of doping elements during the processing of technogenic raw materials and subsequent use of the alloying material. It was determined that at a Si:C atomic ratio in the charge at a level of 0.05–0.19 (O:C atomic ratio is 1.25), a solid solution of carbon and doping elements in γ-Fe, Fe 3 Si, and Fe 5 Si 3 was found in the alloy. At Si:C atomic ratio at a level of 0.05 in the alloy, a solid solution of carbon and alloying elements in γ-Fe was dominating with a weak manifestation of Fe 3 Si. When the value of Si:C atomic ratio was increased to 0.09, Fe 5 Si 3 was found together with Fe 3 Si. A gradual increase in Si:C atomic ratio to 0.09, 0.12, and 0.19 led to a higher manifestation of Fe 3 Si and Fe 5 Si 3 . The microstructure of the alloy in the entire studied range of Si:C ratio values in the charge was characterized by the presence of several phases with different contents of doping elements. The content of elements in the studied areas (at. %) was 1.65–52.10 for Ni, 2.80–53.92 for Cr, 0.19–13.48 for Mo, 0.40–12.21 for W, 13.85–33.85 for Nb, 2.40–6.63 for Ti. An increase in Si:C atomic ratio in the charge from 0.05 to 0.19 caused an increase in silicon concentration in the studied areas of the microstructure (from 0.28 at. %) to 6.31 at. %. According to an analysis of the sample areas, carbon content was characterized by figures from 2.07 at. % to 14.23 at. %). Some of the investigated particles with a high content of W, Mo, Nb corresponded to complex carbide compounds with a high probability. Based on the study results, it can be pointed out that the most favorable Si C atomic ratio in the charge is 0.12 (with an O:C atomic ratio of 1.25). The resulting product had a relatively low content of silicon and carbon but was sufficient enough to provide the required reducing and deoxidizing strength of the alloy
Highlights
Large volumes of industrial waste and secondary raw materials doped with refractory elements are not used effectively enough in practice
In the agro-industrial complex, waste includes particles of Materials Science residues from knives of feed preparing machines
Similar results were obtained in [5, 6] in the recovery of waste steels doped with carbon and silicon. Both iron carbides and silicide, together with a solid solution of carbon and alloying elements in the γ-Fe lattice were detected in the reduction products
