    The effects of surface morphology for cold rolled automobile steel on the morphology, compactness and phase composition of phosphating film are very important, but there would be inevitably some scratches in such processes as packaging and transportation. The effects of artificial scratches on the surface roughness, morphology of phosphating film and phase composition of cold rolled automobile steel DC04 are analyzed with such test equipment as the surface roughometer, scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffractometer. The results showed that the average value of surface roughness R a was 1.124 μm for mother blank of DC04, average value of peak density R P c was 76.5 cm-1, R a basically unchanged and R P c decreased slightly after artificial grinding; R a of all samples for DC04 changed a little, but R P c increased slightly compared with those before phosphating; local structure of phosphating film on the surface of sample with artificial scratch was discontinuous, content of incompact zinc phosphate tetrahydrate, Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O in the phosphating phase was 100%, content of compact zinc ferrous phosphate tetrahydrate, Zn2Fe(PO4)2·4H2O and value of “P ratio” were zero, so the phosphating effect was poor.

    In the paper, the production technology and technological improvement for 500 MPa cold stamping automobile axle housing steel plate are elaborated, the chemical components of Nb, Ti, Cr and Mo as main strengthening elements are designed as well as a series of whole production technology including smelting, continuous casting, heating, rolling and cooling is formulated. The steel plate is with such comprehensive properties as high strength and ductility and toughness, complex cold stamping without cracking as well as small thickness fluctuation on one plate and anisotropy. Its production technology is mature and stable so that the probability of cracking in cold stamping process is greatly reduced, which could meet the technical requirements of automobile axle housing steel and the processing cost is reduced.

    With the axle load and transport volume of train increase year by year, it’s necessary to use new type high strength rail to satisfy the operating requirements, prolong the service life of rail and reduce the maintenance of railway. The third generation of rare earth heat-treated rail is successfully developed by Baotou Steel through researching the composition optimization and heat treatment process of rare earth rail. Its tensile strength Rm≥1 300 MPa, percentage elongation after fracture A≥10%, tread hardness HB is 380~430. The experimental study showed that the rare earth was easy to attach to the inclusions in high carbon steel rail so that such inclusions as MnS and Al2O3 were modified; simultaneously, the lamellar spacing of pearlite was reduced and austenite grain size was refined by rare earth so as to improve the toughness of high carbon heavy rail steel. The wear resistance and contact fatigue resistance of rail could be significantly improved with new type heat-treated rare earth rail, which is suitable for heavy haul railway and section with small curve.

    The smelting and rolling of hot rolled U75V rails with different contents of rare earth Ce are carried out in laboratory. The low temperature impacting property and fracture toughness of the rolled rail are compared and analyzed. The test results showed that the impact toughness of rail at room temperature could increase by about 30%, low temperature impacting property at -60 ℃ could increase by about 60% after add 0.005 6% rare earth Ce into hot rolled U75V rail; the average value of -20 ℃ KIC of rail increased by about 14% and the average value of -60 ℃ KIC of rail increased by about 15% so that the addition of rare earth Ce could further improve the low temperature toughness of hot rolled U75V rail.

    With the information construction of iron and steel enterprises, more and more data are generated in each link of logistics for crude fuel in iron and steel enterprises. The process of logistics for crude fuel relates to the safety of inventory for crude fuel and utilization ratio of storage space. In order to further improve the utilization of data, the real-time collection and monitoring of logistics data are particularly important. Therefore, the visual management of logistics process could intuitively show the connection and trend among information. In the paper, the applications of visual data management in logistics management of crude fuel in iron and steel enterprises are discussed by taking the construction of visualization system of logistics for crude fuel of Inner Mongolia Baotou Steel Union Co., Ltd. as an example.
