Abstract: A molten iron refining method having, an auxiliary material, and an oxidizing gas supplied through a top-blowing lance, to a cold iron source and molten pig iron that are contained/fed in a converter-type vessel, and molten iron is subjected to a refining process. A pre-charged cold iron source is charged into the converter-type vessel at an amount not larger than 0.15 times. A furnace-top-added cold iron source that's part or all of the cold iron source and added from a furnace top is fed during the refining process. A burner at a leading end of the top-blowing lance that spray holes through which a fuel and a combustion-supporting gas are ejected. During the refining process, a powdery auxiliary material processed into powder that's part of the auxiliary material is blown in, to pass through a flame formed by the burner.

Abstract: A converter steelmaking method has molten pig iron subjected to dephosphorization process for dephosphorized molten iron, dephosphorized molten iron is subjected to decarburization process for molten steel. For dephosphorization process, a first cold iron source in amount meeting Formula (1) is charged into first converter-type vessel, then undephosphorized molten pig iron is charged and subjected to dephosphorization process. Dephosphorized molten iron is discharged and held in molten metal receiving vessel. After second cold iron source is charged into first converter-type vessel in which dephosphorization process has been performed, the dephosphorized molten iron held in molten metal receiving vessel is charged and subjected to decarburization process. % Ws0?0.1186T?134 (% Ws0?0) . . . (1), where % Ws0: a ratio (%) of first cold iron source to sum of first cold iron source and charge amount of undephosphorized molten pig iron, and T: a temperature (° C.) of undephosphorized molten pig iron.

Abstract: A gear shift control device for an automatic transmission device includes a transmission including an output unit setting and outputting a target value of the hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic control device. The output unit, when the shift stage is changed from a shift stage to another, increases the target value for a first friction coupling portion in the decoupled state in the shift stage to a first value, reduces to a second value, increases to a third value after the value is reduced to the second value, sets to a fourth value after the value is increased to the third value, and sets to a fifth value after the target value is set to the fourth value, and the output unit sets the fourth value according to magnitude of input torque to the transmission.

Abstract: A transmission control device is used in an automatic transmission device including a transmission gear having friction coupling portions that are changed between a coupled state and an uncoupled state, and configuring transmission stages corresponding to a combination of the coupled state and the uncoupled state, and a hydraulic control device. The device includes: a determination unit determining a change in the transmission stage; and an output unit setting a target value of the hydraulic pressure, and outputting the target value to the hydraulic control device. In a case where one transmission stage is changed to another, the output unit increases the target value to a first value for a first friction coupling portion in the uncoupled state in the one transmission stage, thereafter, to a second value smaller than the first value and maintaining the uncoupled state, and thereafter, to a third value greater than the second value.
