    In the paper, the chemical compositions of BT110V steel for high-strength and high-ductility casing are designed based on the problem that special casing for deep well of oil and gas exploitation is with high strength and low ductility by giving full play to the effects of alloying elements in steel. Moreover, the production process of BT110V high-strength and high-ductility casing is formulated with the existing production equipment of seamless steel pipe. The mechanical properties, hardenability and microstructure of trial-produced BT110V high-strength and high-ductility casing could all meet the technical requirements. For the BT110V high-strength and high-ductility casing with the specification of Φ193.68 mm×10.92 mm, failure strength caused by internal pressure is 58.6% higher than that of the technical requirement, failure strength caused by external pressure is 38.3% higher than that of the technical requirement and joint strength is 26.6% higher than that of the technical requirement. During the process of industrialized promotion and application, all indexes show good stability and the modifying effect of rare earth microalloying on inclusions is obvious.

    The edge drop of cold-rolled strip directly affects width accuracy and edge quality of product, it is especially prominent under the conditions of non-oriented silicon steel with wide specification and limited rolling reduction. In the paper, the integrated three-dimensional finite element model coupling with roller-strip steel is established based on the 1 780 mm 6-high CVC (continuously variable crown) rolling mill. Such aspects as geometric modeling, mesh refinement at the edge and contact zone between rollers, boundary constraint, friction contact setting and multi-step load incremental control of this model are optimized. Compared with the measured sectional contour of the unit, the RMSE (root mean square error) of simulation result is 6.85 μm and MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) is 1.26%, which indicate that the model is with higher prediction accuracy. The influences of thickness, width and reduction ratio of strip steel as well as deformation resistance of materials on the formation laws of edge drop are systematically analyzed. The transverse metal flow at the edge could be significantly amplified with the increase of thickness or reduction ratio so as to aggravate edge drop; transverse flow at unit width could be reduced by increasing width of strip steel so as to weaken edge drop to some extent; it is beneficial to inhibiting metal flow at the edge to increase deformation resistance so that edge drop and its sensitivity to reduction ratio are reduced. The simulation system of limited conditions is established based on this to investigate the comprehensive abilities of regulation and control of roll bending forces of working roll and intermediate roll as well as amount of roll shifting for intermediate roll to edge drop. The results showed that the effects of working roll bending on edge drop control were the most significant, the average control effect was approximately 3.5 times of that of intermediate roll bending and about 30 μm of linear regulation amplitude could be achieved for intermediate roll shifting at its positive and negative limiting positions. The efficiency and sensibility of different control methods are with quantitative evaluation by introducing the efficacy coefficients of edge drop control, which could provide the theoretical basis and engineering references for optimization design of roll shape for 6-high CVC rolling mills and formulating the process of edge drop control for silicon steel with wide specification.

    For the production line of comprehensive utilization of oxidized ore resources in Bayan Obo, iron and rare earth separations are carried out after two-stage closed-circuit grinding of raw ore as well as fluorite separation is carried out when rare earth tailings are ground to the proportion of particle size<30 μm is over 70%. The multistage grinding causes significant increase of mechanical secondary slime as well as electrostatic repulsion between fine slime particles is strengthened so as to inhibit sedimentation when circulating wastewater is with alkalescence by adding a large amount of sodium silicate and foaming agent during beneficiation process, the silica sol generated by sodium silicate is absorbed on the surface of fine slime particles so as to form coating layer. As a result, the hydrophobic property of particle surface is reduced and affinity of it and water is enhanced so that fine slime particles are more dispersed and stable as well as the content of suspended solids (SS) in water reaches over 5 000 mg/L. The beneficiation wastewater is treated with the process of magnetic coagulating sedimentation-stirring-flocculation-stirring as well as the content of SS in wastewater is reduced to 69 mg/L and pH value is basically unchanged. The flotation test is carried out for circulating wastewater after treatment, it is better for circulating wastewater after treatment to improve the grade and metal recovery rate of iron, rare earth and fluorite than those for circulating wastewater without treatment as well as the dosage of reagents in every link is significantly reduced.

    In this paper, the causes of surface blistering of electrophoretic coating plate for DC04 cold rolled automobile steel after 60-cycle cyclic corrosion resistance test are analyzed with scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer. The test results showed that the size of phosphating phase in blistering area was approximately 10~25 μm, while that in non-blistering area was about 2~3 μm; such characteristic elements of phosphating phase as Zn and P were not detected in blistering area, while the phosphating film was bound tightly with matrix and electrophoretic coating film in non-blistering area as well as there were such characteristic elements of phosphating phase as Zn and P in phosphating film. The binding force of matrix, phosphating film and electrophoretic coating film is reduced by coarse phosphating phase as well as the channel for extension of corrosive liquid is provided so that there is surface blistering of electrophoretic coating plate for DC04 cold rolled automobile steel after 60-cycle cyclic corrosion resistance test finally. The incomplete degreasing during pretreatment of automobile steel and there is residual oil on the surface may be the causes for the abnormal growth of phosphating phase.

    In this paper, the effects of different chloride ion (Cl-) concentrations on corrosion behavior of T91 steel treated by indentation method in the neutral salt spray environment are studied. The corrosion test of 48~288 h for indentation specimens is carried out with NaCl solutions of concentrations of 10% and 15% under the standard neutral salt spray test conditions. It is found that the corrosion weight loss in the environment of 15% NaCl is higher than that in the environment of 10% NaCl through analyzing the corrosion weight loss, corrosion morphology and corrosion products as well as the difference between them is increased with the extension of corrosion time, which reaches the maximum value (0.008 5 g) at 288 h. This proves that the corrosion effects of environment with high Cl- concentration on T91 steel are stronger and they are obvious with time accumulation. The observation results of scanning electron microscope showed that the indentation was more easy-corrosive and the more the Cl- concentration, the more serious the corrosion was, which indicates that the corrosion resistance in this area is significantly reduced by stress concentrations (dislocations, microcracks etc.) introduced by indentation so that it becomes the sensitive area where corrosion occurs preferentially.
