The invention provides a method for improving the
niobium yield of
niobium-containing
austenitic stainless steel, belongs to the technical field of stainless steel
smelting, and solves the problem of low yield of a traditional
niobium-containing
austenitic stainless steel niobium collecting method.The method comprises the following steps that after the niobium-containing
austenitic stainless steel smelted in an AOD converter enters a reduction stage, the binary
alkalinity of reduction furnace
slag is controlled; after reduction, AOD converter
smelting desulfurization is carried out, and the binary
alkalinity of AOD converter desulfurized
slag is controlled; after desulfurization,
ferroniobium is added to the bottom of a steel
ladle according to the AOD converter tapping amount and the target niobium component, and tapping operation is carried out; lF
ladle refining is carried out after tapping, materials are added for
slag adjustment according to the
viscosity of slag during LF furnace treatment, and then fine adjustment is carried out on the
molten steel niobium component according to the in-
station niobium content, so that the
molten steel component meets the
casting requirement. According to the method, the problem that the niobium yield of the niobium-containing
austenite is low is effectively solved, the niobium yield is effectively increased to 95% or above, stable and efficient production is achieved, and meanwhile the
smelting cost of the niobium-containing
austenite is effectively reduced.
