Nemavhola, T.M.; Coetsee, T.; Garbers-Craig, Andrie Mariana
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2021-02)
Accretions often form in furnaces when slag and charge materials attach to the refractory wall and
build up over time. Accretion formation is usually unwanted because it reduces the working volume
of the reactor and ...

Schoeman, Liezl; Sole, Kathryn C.
(Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2017-07)
Extraction of nickel from either laterite or sulphide ores involves various
complex hydrometallurgical processes, the final step of which is often
electrowinning to produce pure nickel metal. Methods to investigate,
monitor, ...

Coetsee, Theresa; De Bruin, Frederik Johannes
(MDPI, 2022-05)
Nickel alloying of carbon steel is used to enhance steel strength and toughness. Nickel
alloying of the weld metal via solid weld wire presents several difficulties as highlighted previously,
such as work hardening of ...

Coetsee, Theresa; De Bruin, Frederik Johannes
(MDPI, 2022-02-24)
Al assisted alloying of carbon steel in Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) by Al-Cr-Ti-Cu
unconstrained metal powders is applied. A base case without metal powder additions is compared to
two metal powder addition schedules, ...

Coetsee, Theresa; De Bruin, Frederik Johannes
(MDPI, 2022-11-02)
Unconstrained metal powders of chromium and nickel, in combination with aluminium,
were used in the submerged arc welding (SAW) process to simplify weld metal alloying. Unconstrained
metal powders refer to non-alloyed ...

Coetsee, Theresa; De Bruin, Frederik Johannes
(MDPI, 2021-10-01)
The element transfer of Ti from molten flux to the weld metal is limited to less than 310 ppm
Ti in the submerged arc welding of carbon steel. This limitation is due to the high oxygen partial
pressure prevailing at the ...

Moller, Heinrich; Govender, Gonasagren; Stumpf, Waldo E.
(Elsevier, 2010-09)
The conventional casting alloy A356 is probably one of the most popular alloys used for semi-solid metal (SSM) forming. This is due to its high fluidity and good castability. This alloy can be heat treated alternatively ...

Coetsee, Theresa; De Bruin, Frederik Johannes
(MDPI, 2022-08-25)
The application of cobalt and aluminium powders in unconstrained format, not as metal
powder in tubular wire nor as pre-alloyed powder, is used in this work to simplify weld metal
alloying. The objective of this study ...
