    The oxygen content at end point of ultra-low carbon steel is directly related to the subsequent fabrication processing and quality of final product. The bottom blowing in the process of converter smelting and the calculating parameters of sublance model system are optimized by company so that the intensity of bottom blowing gas supply is increased, stir of bottom blowing to molten pool is strengthened and bottom blowing gas supply mode is established for ultra-low carbon steel. The results showed that the oxygen content at end point could be reduced, hit ratio of carbon content as well as temperature and oxygen content for ultra-low carbon steel at end point could be improved with the above process, which could provide better molten steel for the subsequent processes.

    In the process of converter steelmaking, the carbon in hot metal and oxygen blown in form the gas mixture of CO and a small amount of CO2 under the condition of high temperature as well as it becomes the converter flue gas. The change trend of concentration curve for CO in flue gas provides the operator with dynamic state of slag. The slag could be effectively prevented to be thick and splashed by referring to the curve of concentration of CO in flue gas at end point of converter steelmaking and concentration of CO in flue gas in the process as well as adjusting the position of oxygen lance and opportunity of adding slag charge so that the end point control is accurate and smelting is stable and trouble-free.

    In this paper, the comparative experiment of non-oriented silicon steel samples with weights of 1 kg (28 pieces) and 0.5 kg (16 pieces) is mainly introduced. It was found that the accuracy of the two methods was consistent, the samples with weight of 0.5 kg were more effective in quality control, time and materials consumption were saved as well as labour intensity could be reduced through comparing the data.

    The hot rolled coil plate with thickness of 3~6 mm for high strength welded pipe is successfully developed with the composition design of low carbon and microalloying of niobium and titanium as well as controlled rolling and controlled cooling process with 2 250 mm hot rolling production line of Baotou Steel. Its yield strength is greater than 670 MPa, tensile strength is greater than 750 MPa and percentage elongation after fracture is greater than 19% so that the matching of strength and toughness is good as well as it is with good cold bending and welding performances, which could satisfy the manufacture of high strength welded pipe for customers. As a result, the batch production and supply of thin gauge hot rolled coil plate product for high strength welded pipe of Baotou Steel are realized.

    In the paper, the effects of different hardening and tempering technologies on mechanical properties of 27SiMn seamless steel tube for hydraulic support are studied. The results showed that the yield strength and tensile strength of 27SiMn test steel were gradually decreasing as well as its impact work and elongation were on the rise with temper temperature increased within the range of 580~680 ℃; the comprehensive mechanical properties could meet the requirements of user's technology agreement, batch production was realized and performances were stable when temper temperature was 610~630 ℃.

    In this paper, it is introduced the experimental study on high temperature plasticity of GCr15 steel, compared and analyzed its interior surface quality at different perforation temperatures. The experimental results showed that the plasticity of GCr15 steel was good at 850~1 200 ℃, the main reason for infolding of internal surface for steel tube was that perforation temperature of tube blank was beyond high temperature plastic range and it could be reduced if perforation temperature could be controlled within 1 200 ℃.
