    The 800 MPa grade hydropower engineering steel with low welding crack sensibility is developed through smelting test steel with 100 kg vacuum induction furnace as well as thermal mechanical control processing (TMCP), quenching and tempering processes adopting the alloy system route of low carbon, carbon equivalent (Ceq) and welding crack sensibility index (Pcm) in laboratory. Such mechanical properties as the strength, impact and bending of test steel are tested as well as its microstructure and fracture morphology are analyzed with the optical microscope (OM) and field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that its microstructure at room temperature was tempered sorbite, all its mechanical properties were excellent, its yield strength, tensile strength and elongation after fracture were 788 MPa, 842 MPa and 18.1%, low temperature impact absorbing energy at -40 ℃ was 197 J, strength and toughness well matched as well as welding crack sensitivity index was low, which could meet the performance requirements in use.

    The coiler in production line of hot continuous rolled strip steel is the only equipment for coiling strip steel after rolling and its stability of working condition directly affects the stable production of production line, yield and appearance quality of coil of strip. The level of stiffness of wrapper roller for coiler is the core factor determining stability of coiler. In the paper, the concept of stiffness of wrapper roller for coiler in production line of hot continuous rolled strip steel as well as the significances and methods of static test are elaborated. The analysis sheet of stiffness of wrapper roller is obtained through tests as well as collecting, analyzing, summarizing and calculating related data. Guide the craft personnel to set and optimize parameters as well as equipment personnel to eliminate defects purposefully to ensure stable operation of coiler, reduce coiling accidents and improve yield as well as ensure coil shape and appearance quality of strip steel.

    The waste emulsion is the oily wastewater in high concentration discharged in steel rolling process and the key of treatment is demulsification. In this paper, the suitable demulsification methods are selected through experimental study as well as the experimental conditions of electrooxidation demulsification and chemical flocculation demulsification are selected. The results showed that the most suitable demulsification method was electrooxidation, its optimum current range was 2.0~3.8 A and optimum voltage range was 140~200 V; the optimum coagulant for chemical flocculation demulsification was polyaluminum chloride. When the quantity added to is 1.5 g/L and pH value is adjusted to 7~9, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in waste emulsion reduces to less than 8 000 mg/L, oil content reduces to less than 1 000 mg/L and suspended solids reduces to less than 1 500 mg/L.

    The manganese content of molten iron in the production line of steelmaking in Rare Earth Steel Plate Co. is higher so that the highly purified armco iron could not be smelted by converter process. In the paper, it is introduced the demanganization process with double slag in LF is developed through simulating the demanganization condition of converter with LF, starting with such three aspects as basicity of slag, demanganization temperature and oxidability of slag as well as taking full advantage of existing equipment conditions of production line. The slag with high oxidation after tapping of molten steel from converter is utilized in LF, the ingredient of LF clinker is reasonably adjusted to produce efficient slag of demanganization and promote the steel slag reaction through argon stirring so as to create good thermodynamic and dynamical conditions for demanganization. According to the requirements of manganese content of products, double slag and single slag processes are applied in operations to realize the stable batch production of armco iron with the manganese content less than 0.03% and 0.02%.
