The Influence of Sulfur Content on the Carbothermal Reduction of SiMn Slag
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This article examines the influence of sulfur content on the carbothermal reduction of MnO and SiO2 in SiMn slag by carbon black. The sulfur content in the synthetic slag is varied from 0 to 1.0 wt pct. Reduction experiments ... -
The Influence of Transient Change in Strain Rate on Subgrain Size During Deformation by Torsion of AA6063
(Master thesis, 2016)During hot extrusion a extrusion billet s cross section is reduced, altering the metals micro- structure. As the billet is passing through the extrusion die the strain rate and temperature increases, resulting in a with a ... -
The interaction between vacancies and twin walls, junctions, and kinks, and their mechanical properties in ferroelastic materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Vacancies strongly interact with twin boundaries and often change dramatically the properties of the ferroelastic material. However, the understanding of this behavior at an atomic-level is still deficient. Here we study ... -
The IrO2-Ta2O5 Coated Titanium Anode for Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Sulfate Solution
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:320, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Titanium substrates coated with a conductive layer of metal oxides are well known gas evolving electrodes in the metal electrowinning industry, so-called dimensionally stable anodes (DSAs). DSA electrodes display better ... -
The Kinetic Gas Theory of Mie Fluids
(Master thesis, 2022)Termisk diffusjon er et facinerende fenomen med mange mulige, fremtidige anvendelsesområder. Fenomenet observeres i blandinger som utsettes for en termisk gradient, hvor denne gradienten kan drive en massefluks. Det ble ... -
The Kinetics of Boron Transfer in Slag Refining of Silicon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Slag refining is one of the few metallurgical methods for efficient removal of boron from silicon. In industrial slag refining for production of silicon for photovoltaic applications, the relationship between the slag ... -
The leachability of a ternary CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 slag produced from smelting-reduction of low-grade bauxite for alumina recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)A combination of smelting-reduction of bauxite and leaching treatment of the produced slag for alumina recovery is known as the Pedersen process. The process is considered to be more sustainable for producing metallurgical-grade ... -
The Leachability of Calcium Aluminate Phases in Slags for the Extraction of Alumina
(Journal article, 2017)Alumina is used primarily as feedstock for aluminum production. It occurs naturally in bauxite and clay and other minerals, and can be concentrated in industrial by-products such as coal gangue, fly ash, blast furnace slag, ... -
The Mechanism Behind the Oxidation Protection of High Mg Al Alloys with Beryllium
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The addition of beryllium to Al-Mg alloys is known to cause a dramatic decrease in oxidation; however, the mechanism behind this protective effect is not yet fully understood. To aid in finding an alternative to the toxic ... -
The Metallurgical Foundation for Manufacturing of CeS-Based Grain Refiners for Steels
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2009:227, Doctoral thesis, 2009)This doctoral thesis is concerned with experimental studies of the conditions for CeS formations during manufacturing of Ce-S/Ce-S-Al/Ce-S-Al-Fe based grain refiners for steels. The thesis is divided into five parts. Part ... -
The micro- and macrostructure of alumina rafts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)As alumina particles are fed to aluminium reduction cells, a frozen layer of bath is typically formed on the particle surface, due to the relatively low bath superheat. For particles in close proximity, platelets with ... -
The multiple roles of an organic corrosion inhibitor on copper investigated by a combination of electrochemistry-coupled optical in situ spectroscopies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The interaction of the organic corrosion inhibitor 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) with copper in alkaline solution was investigated by in situ infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy, and in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry, ... -
The Optimization of Salt Additions during Processing of Aluminium-Magnesium Alloys
(Master thesis, 2013)Sodium is well known to be a cause for edge cracking during rolling of aluminium-magnesium alloys (AA5xxx). Due to this, requirements for the sodium contents in Al-Mg alloys are often less than 1,0 ppm. The electrolytic ... -
