    The pelletizing process is the key link in pellet production. The quality of green pellets will directly affect quality of finished ball. The pelletization rate is increased from 75% to 81% and average drop strength of green pellets is increased by 0.3 times by taking such measures as improving drying effect of iron charge, intensifying high-pressure roller grinding process and optimizing parameters of pelletizer so that quality of green pellets is improved obviously.

    In this paper, it is introduced the design scheme of nickel metal hydride battery pack in railway passenger cars as well as elaborated the necessities of replacing lead acid battery and nickel-cadmium battery with it from such aspects as safety, environmental protection and maintenance free. With the sealed nickel metal hydride battery system as redundant electrical power, there is no need to replenish it so that the workload of artificial maintenance for it is greatly reduced. It is with the management system of charging and discharging, which can monitor its such important parameters as the voltage, current, temperature and SOC in real time as well as monitor its usage status so that the safety of vehicle operation is improved.

    The inclined Y-groove welding crack test, maximum hardness test in heat affected zone and rigid butt-joint cracking test for bridge steel Q345qDNH produced by Baotou Steel are carried out. The test results showed that the cold crack sensitivity of bridge steel Q345qDNH with thickness of 20 mm was not great and its cold cracks could be avoided without preheating or using the preheating temperature system of 50 ℃ in actual welding process.

    The surface defects of DC04 steel are tested and analyzed by such testing methods as chemical composition analysis, metalloscope, tensile testing machine, scanning electron microscope and energy disperse spectroscopy. The results showed that there was a strip of 200 μm inclusion (type B) at defect and the inclusion of matrix exceeded the standard. The nonmetallic inclusions cause stress concentration, microcracks are generated during rolling so that surface defects are formed in punching process.

    In this paper, such performances as drawing, impact, ductile-brittle transition temperature, torsional strength at room temperature and rotating bending fatigue of seamless steel pipe for V150 grade drill pipe body developed and produced by Baotou Steel are tested and studied. The results showed that such technical indexes as the conventional mechanical properties and grain size of as-heat-treated steel pipe could meet the requirements of DS-1TM Standard Vol.1 Specification of Tubular Products for Drilling. At the same time, it is also with such excellent material characteristics as good transverse impact toughness, high low temperature impact toughness, low ductile-brittle transition temperature, high torsional strength at room temperature and good anti-rotating bending fatigue, which could meet the requirements of steel for V150 grade drill pipe body with super high strength.
