This application relates to a clean steel and its preparation method. The clean steel composition includes: C: ≤0.0030%; N ≤0.0020%. Such a pure composition meets the requirements of steel used in high-end fields. The method obtains clean steel through electric furnace
smelting of all
scrap steel or high
scrap ratio steel,
ladle refining process,
continuous casting, heating, and rolling. It effectively controls the
nitrogen and
oxygen content in the
molten steel, ensuring the high purity of the steel. In particular, at the end of the
decarburization treatment of the RH vacuum circulation degassing refining process, a certain amount of
methane is mixed into the bottom blowing gas. The
methane reacts with the
oxygen in the
molten steel to generate a large number of CO bubbles, which enhances the stirring of the
molten steel, promotes the flotation of inclusions, and improves the cleanliness of the molten steel. At the same time, the CO bubble effect improves the
denitrification efficiency of the molten steel. Furthermore, since the
methane gas consumes some of the
oxygen in the molten steel, the
oxygen content of the molten steel is reduced at the end of the
decarburization treatment, thereby reducing the amount of aluminum
alloy used for deoxidation and further improving the cleanliness of the molten steel.
