The invention discloses consumable
electrode smelting equipment for preparing ODS steel and a preparation method of the consumable
electrode smelting equipment, and belongs to the technical field of OSD steel preparation. The equipment comprises a furnace shell, an
electrode smelting unit arranged at the lower part of the furnace shell and an
atmosphere adjusting device arranged at the upper part of the furnace shell. The
atmosphere adjusting device comprises two vent valves, one ends of the two vent valves are connected with an
oxygen source and a protective gas source respectively, the other ends of the two vent valves are connected with the
gas mixing cavity, and the
gas mixing cavity is connected with the
mixed gas pressurizing cavity through a gas pressurizing valve. An electrode is placed in the electrode smelting unit, a vent hole penetrating through the upper end face and the lower end face of the electrode is formed in the middle of the electrode, the
gas mixing pressurization cavity is connected with the vent hole through a vent
pipe, and a gas mixing one-way valve is installed on the vent
pipe. According to the method, the equipment is adopted for ODS steel preparation, the
atmosphere pressure and the gas content in the cavity can be dynamically adjusted according to the solidification rate of the melt in the
smelting process, it is guaranteed that the content of dissolved
oxygen elements is stable after the melt is solidified, and the ODS steel uniform in structure and small in segregation is prepared.
