According to weight percentage, the components of the steel board are: C: 0.06-0.09%, Si: 0.20-0.35%, Mn: 1.48-1.63%, Nb: 0.020%-0.035%, Ti: 0.010%-0.020%, V: 0.020%-0.035%, Ni: 0.08%-0.17%, Als: 0.015%-0.040%, P: ≤0.013% and S: ≤0.005%. The preparation method for the steel board comprises: pre-refining, refining and casting to obtain a cast billet, and the slowly cooling down same. The slowly cooled billet is heated and then rolled out to obtain the steel board; and the steel board is cooled down and ready. The steel has an excellent comprehensive performance in terms of having high strength and low temperature resistance, being easy to weld and corrosion proof, and the steel has good low-temperature aging impact toughness.

Method to remove copper from a bath of molten metal material, by using a reactive additive to remove copper from a bath of molten metal material and applying a depression.

An oxygen lance assembly that is at least capable of moving towards or away from the object to be lanced, said assembly including a supply of gaseous oxygen and metallic tubing wherein the oxygen supply is continuously feed through the said tubing when the lance is in use, and the said lance assembly includes a reel, and the said metallic tubing is coiled upon and carried by the said reel, and when in use, the metallic tubing is continuously uncoiled from the said reel as the said metallic tubing is consumed during use.

A method of treating liquid iron in a pour furnace includes providing the pour furnace with a body, an inlet for receiving liquid iron, an outlet for dispensing liquid iron, and an access opening located in the body and remote from the outlet. The method also includes suspending a platform over the pour furnace and in alignment with the access opening, injecting a cored wire containing nickel magnesium through the access opening into an interior of the body of the furnace, and reacting the nickel magnesium with the liquid iron in the body of the furnace. The method further includes treating the liquid iron with the magnesium to increase its ductility and strength.

The invention concerns a method for feeding an optical cored wire into a molten metal bath and an immersion system and an immersion nozzle to carry out the method. The optical cored wire (6) is decoiled, a feeding and straightening device (4) with a plurality of rollers (20, 21) conducts feeding of the optical cored wire (6) in a feeding direction towards the metal bath (11) as well as a first straightening of the optical cored wire (6), and subsequently a separated further plurality of non-motor driven nozzle straighteners (13) arranged between the feeding and straightening device (4) and the metal bath (11) conducts a second straightening of the optical cored wire (6). Very high precision of temperature measurement can thereby be achieved.

A wire for out-of-furnace treatment of metallurgical melts comprises a metallic sheath which encloses a core comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ca, Ba, Sr, Mg, Si and Al, wherein at least one layer of a composite coating is applied to an inner and/or outer surface of said sheath, which coating consists of a lacquer paint material and contains high-melting ultrafine particles selected from compounds of metal carbides and/or nitrides and/or carbonitrides and/or silicides and/or borides. The composite coating comprises a protector material, for which ferroalloys and/or flux agents are used. The metals contained in the high-melting compounds are titanium and/or tungsten and/or silicon and/or magnesium and/or niobium and/or vanadium. Said coating is applied evenly onto the surface of the sheath.
