Abstract
In electric arc furnace steelmaking units, the essential parameters are reducing price, increasing production and decreasing environmental pollution. Electric arc furnaces are the largest users of electric energy in industry. The most important techniques that can be used to reduce the electric energy consumption in electric arc furnaces are scrap preheating, stirring, use of burners and hot charge and foamy slag. Between these methods, the use of foamy slag is the most useful and economical factor. Foamy slag can reduce the amount of energy, electrodes, refractory consumption, and tap to tap time while it also increases productivity.
In this study, method of production and optimum conditions for foamy slag in a 200-ton electric arc furnace were investigated. The use of foamy slag in this research can reduce the electric energy consumption from 670 to 580 kwh/t and the melting time from 130 to 115 min. and that the electric power input can be increased. It also shows that with foamy slag, the optimum amount of FeO in slag is 20-24 percent and the optimum basicity is 2-2.2.

Abstract
In recent years many different ways have been investigated by steel producers to increase ductility, impact strength and formability of steels. More important ways are steels with very low amounts of inclusion, small size inclusions and modified inclusions. In this study, experiments have been performed on the API-X42 steel produced by the electric arc furnace in Mobarekeh Steel Co. After the preparation of the melt in the electric arc furnace, it is taped in a 200-ton ladle and ladle treatment was preformed in a ladle furnace (LF) in the steelmaking shop. In this study the effects of amount and the rate of CaSi wire addition on the shape and structure of inclusion were investigated. The optimum conditions for adding CaSi for inclusion shape control were also determined. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and chemical energy analysis dispersive system (EDS) showed that adding calcium to the melt affects the chemical composition of inclusions present in steel melt. The effects of CaSi wire injection treatment, injection amount and inclusion shape control on the impact property and formability of steel were shown using charpy impact test.
Keywords: Inclusion shape control, calcium treatment, ladle furnace and inclusion modification

Abstract
In this study, Mo-14Si-10B and Mo-57Si-10B (at%) elemental powders were separately milled using an attritor mill. Mechanically alloyed powders were agglomerated and annealed. Then, powders of Mo-Si-B as alloyed (with composites) and agglomerated (without composites) were plasma sprayed onto plain carbon steels. The samples, both coated and non-coated, were subjected to isothermal oxidation tests. Metallurgical characteristics of powders and coatings were evaluated by SEM and XRD. Plasma-sprayed Mo-Si-B coatings (with phases of MoSi2, Mo5Si3, MoB and Mo5SiB2) greatly improved the oxidation resistance of the plain steel substrates, but plasma-sprayed Mo-Si-B coatings (without any phases) did not significantly improve the oxidation rate of substrates. Also, the kinetics and composition of the oxide-scale have been found to depend on the alloy composition.

Abstract
Fabrication of biomaterials with ability to form a bond with bone tissue for bone skeletal system repair is one of the biomaterial science aims. Bioactive glasses containing CaO-SiO2-P2O5 are among the most important groups used in biomedicine and dentistry such as bone defect repair and maxillo-facial reconstruction. The aim of this work was preparation and characterization of nano particle bioactive glass with optimum bioactivity. Bioactive glasses with three different compositions (45S, 49S and 58S) were prepared via sol- gel technique. X- ray diffraction (XRD) technique and X- ray fluorescent (XRF) method were utilized for the phase analysis and also to investigate the chemical composition of the obtained bioactive glass nanopowders. Transmision electron microscopy (TEM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to study the structure, morphology and particle size of synthesized bioactive glass nanopowders. In order to investigate the bioactivity, the prepared bioactive glasses were immersed in the simulated body fluid (SBF) solution at 37◦C for 30 days. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were utilized to recognize and confirm the apatite layer on the prepared bioactive glass nanopowders. TEM images showed that the prepared bioactive glasses had the particle sizes less than 100 nanometers. SEM, FTIR and XRD confirmed the formation of bone-like apatite layer formed on the bioactive glass nanopowders surface, confirming the bioactivity of synthesized bioactive glass nanopowders. It was concluded that the amount of apatite on the 45S bioactive glasse was greater in comparison with 49S and 58S bioactive glasses. It is notable that by optimizing the chemical composition, bioactive glass nanopowder could be used in applications such as repair of bone defects and bone replacement.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to synthesize glass ionomer–forsterite nanocomposite and study the effect of
incorporating forsterite nanoparticles to the ceramic part of glass ionomer cement in order to improve mechanical properties and
bioactivity. So, Forsterite nanoparticles were made by the sol-gel process using different weight percentages added to the ceramic
part of commercial GIC (Fuji II GC). X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used in order to characterize and determine grain size of the
produced forsterite nanopowder. In order to study the mechanical properties of the produced glass ionomer cement-forsterite
nanocomposite, the compressive strength (CS), three-point flexural strength (FS) and diametral tensile strength (DTS) of
specimens were measured. Statistical analysis was done by one Way ANOVA and differences were considered significant if
P‹0.05. The morphology of fracture surface of specimens was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique.
Bioactivity of specimens was investigated by Fourier transitioned-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The results of XRD analysis confirmed the
nanocrystalline and pure forsterite synthesis. According to the mechanical properties measurements, the optimum weight
percentages of forsterite nanoparticles for enhancement of CS, FS, and DTS were obtained equal to 3, 1 and 1 wt.%, respectively.
Statistical analysis showed that the differences between all the groups were significant (P<0.05). SEM images and results of the
ICP-OES and FTIR tests confirmed the bioactivity of the nanocomposite. Glass ionomer-forsterite nanocomposite containing 1 to
3 wt.%-forsterite nanoparticles can be a suitable candidate for dentistry and orthopedic applications due to the improvement of
mechanical properties and bioactivity.

Abstract
Super duplex stainless steel is a kind of duplex stainless steel that has pitting resistant equivalent number over than 40. Unified Numbering System (UNS) S32750 is a common super duplex stainless stee, that is mostly applied in oil and gas refinery industries, because of its proper corrosion-resistant properties . Therefore, joining of these steels by welding is very important, but the greatest problem in this regard is the corrosion and decrease in mechanical properties after welding.. In this research, UNS S32750has been joined by friction stir welding method. The tool being used in this research was a WC with 16mm shoulder diameter, 5 mm pin diameter, and 1.9 mm height. X-ray diffraction showed that harmful phases, such as sigma or chi have not been formed. Microstructure study indicated that grain size in the stir zone has decreased. Vickers Hardness Test Method has been applied on welded samples. Moderate microhardness of base metal was 285 Vickers but, the microhardness increased in the stir zone to 360 Vickers, because of decreasing the grain size. The cyclic polarization determined that potential and corrosion current of joint metal by friction stir welding method was similar to base metal. Also, it was revealed that ferrite percentage in the stir zone doesn't decrease very much because the friction stir welding heat input is very low and the colding rate is very high.
