- Highly dense sintered YBa2Cu4O8 has been produced by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The electrical resistivity varrho of this material has been measured as a function of temperature T and pressure varrho in the range 40–650 K and 0–0.7 GPa. Both the temperature dependence and the pressure dependence of varrho are found to be well described by a model based on the standard Bloch-Grüneisen theory. It is pointed out that varrho is liner in T only under isobaric conditions, while varrho is strongly nonlinear in all high-Tc superconductors under isochoric (constant volume) conditions. The critical current density of the material is 900 A/cm2 at 4 K, while the resistivity is 630 μΩ cm at 294 K.

- The electrical resistance of dense YBa2Cu3Ox and YBa2Cu4Oy produced by hot isostatic pressing has been measured vs. T and p. At 295 K we find d (ln R)/dp ≃ -0.12 and -0.09 GPa-1, respectively, with no systematic dependence on initial density. For 1-2-4, dTC/dp ≃ 5.1 K/GPa, which is ten times that of 1-2-3.

- We have measured the thermal conductivity κ and the thermal diffusivity a of a dense bulk ceramic polycrystalline sample of YBa2Cu4O8 (1:2:4) in the temperature range 30–300 K. We find κ≊10 W m-1 K-1 at 100 K, significantly higher than in ceramic YBa2Cu3O7-δ (1:2:3) and approaching the in-plane value for single-crystal 1:2:3, and decreasing to 7.6 W m-1 K-1 at 300 K. The data for this sample can be described by standard theories for phonon thermal conductivity of crystalline materials with boundary, phonon, and electron scattering. The higher κ in 1:2:4 as compared to 1:2:3 is, in this model, due to the smaller point defect scattering in the former. The fitted parameters for the three scattering mechanisms all agree with independent estimates based on simple models; inserting data for electric resistivity, grain size, carrier density, and lattice properties we can predict κ and its T dependence to within about 20%. We also discuss models for the phonon and electron thermal conductivities in some detail, including some second-order effects such as inelastic electron scattering and a T-dependent carrier density.

- The usage of steelmaking process gases in thermoprocessing plants is the most efficient way to reduce the natural gas dependence and therefore both fuel costs and carbon footprint in steelworks. Furthermore NOx emissions can be cut by firing lean gases considering their low adiabatic flame temperatures. A European funded project aiming to enhance the usage of blast furnace gas (BFG) in steel reheating furnaces has been successfully accomplished by a multidisciplinary international consortium of research centers (ArcelorMittal Global R&D Asturias and Maizières, Centro Sviluppo Materiali, Swerea MEFOS, VDEh-Betriebsforschungsinstitut), burner suppliers (Tenova, AGA Linde) and end-users (ArcelorMittal). Three innovative preheated fuel gas burner technologies, namely double regenerative air-fuel, oxy-fuel and flat-flame burners, have been designed and manufactured for 100% BFG firing, so that the inherent constraints of burning very lean gases have been overcome. On the one hand, flameless oxy-fuel combustion with central preheated BFG, so that capital expenditures are limited, allowing easily furnaces retrofitting and potentially carbon capture. On the other hand, for air burners a dual honeycomb regenerator that preheats both air and BFG streams at the burner level, so that operating costs are reduced. Finally, an oxy-regenerative flat-flame burner that transfers homogeneously radiant heat to the load, combining the two beforehand mentioned technologies that are used mainly for high capacity burners (higher than 0.5-1 MW). These systems have been tested (long-term) at both pilot plant and industrial scale in order to define the guidelines for a safe application in the industrial environment, to address technical and economic issues and to put forward guidelines for retrofitting existing furnaces. Moreover, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling has been carried out and validated with the pilot testing results, so that a numerical set-up has been defined for BFG firing. For this purpose a new radiation model for the radiative properties of the products of combustion of BFG has been developed, considering the low water vapor-carbon dioxide ratio. By means of preheating BFG with the waste heat content in flue gases stream, the typical operating temperatures of reheating furnaces (1350°C) have been achieved without natural gas enrichment, keeping the NOx emissions level below the European regulation threshold. © 2017 The Authors.

- Utilizing AC susceptibility measurements the authors have investigated the inter and intragranular properties of selected bulk materials under hydrostatic pressures to 3.5 GPa. A single phase Tl2CaBa2Cu2O8 sample with superconducting transition temperature Tc approximately=107 K shows a clear maximum in Tc(P) at approximately 2.2 GPa coupled with a nearly twofold increase to 3 GPa of the intergranular critical current density JcJ near Tc. The second sample, a YBa2Cu4O8 sinter, shows a large linear increase in Tc with pressure (+5.5 K/GPa) as well as a fivefold increase JcJ to 3 GPa. Applying a critical state model, the authors find that Tc(P) varies as lambda g-2(P), where lambda g is the intragranular (London) penetration depth.

- The effects of hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) on densification and the superconducting properties of the Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-O system were investigated. A relative density up to 95% and a critical current density greater than 1100 A/cm2 at 77 K were achieved through HIPing at 650°C for 2 h under 200 MPa argon. Under these conditions, the product gave a value of Jc four times that without HIPing. To was unaffected by HIPing for samples encapsulated with a combination of glass and silver tubes. However, To was suppressed from 103 K to 86 K for samples encapsulated with stainless steel and silver tubes while Jc increased from 260 A/ cm2 to 1086 A/cm2 during HIPing, indicating that the weak links were significantly improved. A new minor phase, having a composition of Bi/Pb/Sr/Ca/Cu=0.58/2.8/3.0/2.1/1.1, was observed in HIPed samples but its effect on Jc is not clear

- There has been considerable progress in producing and characterizing high Tc superconductors, but a number of materials science-related problems still exist, before their mechanical and electrical properties meet the requirements of many of the proposed applications. These materials are brittle, ceramic compounds with long unit cells that can be thought of as formed from layers of various oxides are an important common feature. The long unit cell structure leads to anisotropy in their electrical and mechanical properties, including the current carrying capacity or current density Jc. The crystallography and microstructure of the three major families of high Tc superconductors are reviewed and possible solutions to some of the materials problems are presented

Straightened voltage effect in high-Tc superconductors

- A new effect called ``ac-current straightening'' has been observed in ceramic (Bi,Pb)-2223 slabs carrying ac current Idc+Iac cos(ωt). The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the ceramic were measured at 77 K at frequencies ranging from 50 to 20 000 Hz. A spectrum analyzer showed a series of high harmonics in the voltage signal as well as a constant voltage drop. The full set of experimental data has been explained theoretically using the Bean-Kim critical state model with a magnetic field dependent critical current jc(H)=jc(0)/(1+H/H0). A low transport ac current gives a voltage linearly proportional to the frequency and quadratically proportional to the ac-current amplitude Iac. It consists of odd harmonics only. If a bias dc current is switched on, then even harmonics and a dc-voltage drop appear. Their amplitudes are proportional to the small parameter Iac/cH0 and depend on the Idc/Iac ratio.

- Relatively robust predictive models for the steel reheating processes are crucial for efficient control and optimisation of reheat furnace operation while ensuring good quality of the heated products. This paper describes the development of a two-dimensional (2D) mathematical model, based on the zone method of radiation analysis, which is capable of simulating the thermal performance of a walking-beam reheating furnace, such as the temperature distribution inside the furnace and the heated stock. The models were initially validated using experimental data supplied by Swerea MEFOS, Sweden. The validated models were further used to investigate changes in the furnace operating conditions, such as production rates and production delay. The results show that the model predictions are in agreement with the measured data and that the model can reasonably respond to the changes in different operating conditions. The developed model has the potential to predict durations of furnace operation of a thousand times faster than the actual run time, and it also demonstrates the feasibility and practicality for incorporation into a model based furnace control system.
