    GRK 2802: Densities, Surface Tensions, and Viscosities of Molten High-Silicon Electrical Steels with Different Silicon Contents
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-10-24) Neubert, Lukas; Bellé, Matheus Roberto; Yamamoto, Taisei; Nishi, Tsuyoshi; Yamano, Hidemasa; Ahrenhold, Frank; Volkova, Olena
    Density, surface tension, and viscosity of various liquid electrical steels are measured at different temperatures, varying in their silicon content between 3 and 6mass%. Density and surface tension are determined using the maximum bubble pressure method, while viscosity is investigated comparatively using a vibrating finger viscometer and an oscillating crucible viscometer. The results are compared with models known from the literature. Based on this, the density of the steel [ρ] = kgm 3 and the surface tension [σ] =Nm 1 can be described as a function of temperature [θ] = °C and silicon content [Si] =mass% using the equations: ρðθ, SiÞ ¼ 1.28 θ 104.18 Si þ 9081.8, σðθ, SiÞ ¼ 10 4 ½ 0.00903 θ2 1.21494 Si2 þ 29.268 θ 1.987 Si 22334 . There is a lack of experimental data in the literature for high-temperature thermophysical properties for electrical steels. This underlines once again the novelty and significance of this study, as the determined thermophysical properties are essential for a wide range of applications. For instance, they are crucial in the production of metallic powders for additive manufacturing by atomization to adjust the properties of the powders precisely. The findings are also important for steelmaking itself, as the corrosion behavior of refractory material can be better determined.

    GRK 2802: Effect of Oxygen on Thermophysical Properties of Molten High-Silicon Electrical Steels and Its Impact on Bubble Formation Behavior
    (Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg, 2025-10-24) Neubert, Lukas; Bellé, Matheus Roberto; Seetharaman, Sridhar; Volkova, Olena
    The presence of oxygen in liquid steels has a considerable influence on their properties. Higher oxygen concentrations are typical for unkilled melts, after tapping from the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) or during secondary metallurgy. This influences thermophysical properties, for instance, surface tension, due to the surface activity of dissolved oxygen. Processes in secondary metallurgy or the interaction of the melt with the refractory material will be different. In this study, density and surface tension of molten high-silicon electrical steels are analyzed dependent of different oxygen contents, which are comparable to industrial melts during secondary metallurgy. The maximum bubble pressure method was used, and total oxygen contents between 77 and 300 ppm were taken into consideration. The silicon content of the steels is varied between 3 and 6 mass-pct. The effect of oxygen on the bubble formation behavior during decarburization in a liquid steel melt is also discussed. The results make it possible to calculate the size of bubbles that form in a melt. These findings are transferred to the processing of electrical steels, to vacuum treatments like the RH or VOD process. Reactions such as decarburization and the dissolution behavior of alloying agents are described more precisely based on these insights.
