    Hot metal desiliconization is carried out by adding iron oxide at the tilting runner in the blast furnace casthouse to improve BOF operation. Aiming at effective silicon removal by enhancing mixing of the desiliconizing agent and hot metal, a desiliconization experiment at an actual blast furnace casthouse was carried out with a tilting runner that was specially designed to generate a swirling flow of hot metal.
    1.The amount of removed silicon in hot metal throughout the desiliconization operation was larger under the swirling flow condition of hot metal than under the conventional non-swirling condition.
    2.Hot metal samples taken at the exit of the tilting runner showed that the change in the silicon content of the hot metal in the tilting runner was larger with the swirling condition.
    3.Hot metal samples were also taken from inside the torpedo car, and the desiliconization behavior in a tentative basin part of the torpedo car was evaluated. The calculated silicon content in the basin part was lower with the swirling condition.
    4.A reaction analysis was carried out assuming that the present system is a semi-batch reactor. The reaction rate constant of desiliconization through the swirling part of the tilting runner and the basin part of the torpedo car was 2.2 times higher with the swirling condition. This result qualitatively agrees with the results of previous 5-ton hot metal experiments and reflects the enhanced mixing of the desiliconizing agent and hot metal by the swirling flow in an industrial-scale operation.

    A theoretical framework to describe ductile fracture is reviewed from a multiscale perspective based on continuum solid mechanics. Ductile fracture has a hierarchical multiscale structure from a strain localization of a macroscopic structure to debonding of an atomic debinding. In this article, computational methods founded on continuum approximation are addressed, where discretization methods represented by finite element method are featured. These approaches are recognized as promising tools to understand and visualize the deformation and strengthening mechanisms. Here the concepts of description of fracture mechanics are classified into strong discontinuity models and distributed damage models. Also two types of scale-coupling approaches are illustrated to consider the effect of a microscopic heterogeneity on its coarse scale.

    Predictions of gigacycle fatigue strength in high-strength steel were discussed by using reported fatigue test results. The discussed prediction models were Tanaka-Akiniwa model, Murakami’s equation and a new model. The prediction based on the Tanaka-Akiniwa model overestimated the effects of inclusion sizes, resulting in much lower fatigue strength for a large inclusion than actual. The prediction based on the Murakami’s equation provided us good estimations for the effects of the inclusion sizes. However, estimated ODA sizes, which were necessary in the calculation, were imaginary since the estimated fatigue strength did not agree with the fatigue test results. The new model, proposed in this research, was a modification of the Tanaka-Akiniwa model. The new model used a new fatigue crack growth law instead of conventional Paris law. In this new model, coefficient of determination, R2 value, in the fitting of the fatigue test results was maximized to determine a new constant. The prediction based on the new model provided us much better estimations than that based on the Tanaka-Akiniwa model, and the new fatigue crack growth law showed good agreements with the measured crack growth rates for internal small cracks. Validity of the new model was thus confirmed in this research.

    New single crystalline bone plate that has extremely low Young’s modulus was fabricated using an ISO certified biomedical material alloy with a composition of Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al in mass %. Single crystals of the Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al alloy along [001] direction were succeeded to be grown by using the seed crystal in order to develop the long bone plate along the [001] direction with the lowest Young’s modulus. The ω phase with relatively high Young’s modulus was not confirmed to precipitate in the single crystals at room temperature. Using the oriented single crystals, bone plate with dimensions of 42 × 5 × 1.5 mm3 and 8 holes for screws could be shaped to be along [001], which exhibit the superior low Young’s modulus of ~40 GPa comparable to that along the longitudinal bone axis. The developed single crystalline bone plate has a high potential for a clinical use in the orthopedic field.

    Some electric arc furnace (EAF) steel slag ultimately ends up in final landfill sites. After developing a method to estimate the impacts of the eluate from the slag, particularly on phytoplankton, this study assessed novel slag applications to aquatic environments. First, metal components were eluted from EAF slags of normal steel or stainless steel with a leaching condition based on JIS K 0058-1. The slag metal components were analyzed using emission spectrochemical analyses. After incubation of Chlorella as phytoplankton with culture media including eluates from the respective slags, the effects of each eluate were investigated using microscopy and flow cytometry. Results demonstrated that concentrations of metal effluents from slags, even for EAF steel slag, which included more hazardous materials than normal slag, were almost all lower than environmental quality standards for effluent and drinking water. Analyses of algal cells treated with each eluate revealed that eluate induced neither lethality nor growth inhibition. Instead of cytotoxicity, the addition of each eluate enhanced algal growth. Infrared spectroscopy and potentiometry using a diaphragm-type electrode to measure aquatic CO2 revealed that metal components from both slags in media produced greater amounts of aquatic CO2 available for photosynthesis, thereby enhancing algal proliferation.
    Taken together, results show that using EAF slag in aquatic environments might be beneficial, not toxic, for photosynthetic organisms. Furthermore, bioassay using flow cytometry can estimate vigorous and aberrant algal growth simultaneously.
