At present, the deoxidation methods used in the domestic industrial steelmaking production process mainly include: aluminum deoxidation method, adding metal aluminum to the molten steel in the ladle when tapping the steel. This deoxidation method is relatively simple, but the deoxidation effect is unstable, and Al is easy to form 2 o 3 Such non-metallic inclusions, small particles of such inclusions are not easy to float up into slag, resulting in an increase of non-metallic inclusions in steel, and the price of aluminum exceeds 10,000 yuan/ton, and the cost of steel per ton is high; carbon deoxidation method is added to the ladle before tapping For carbon-containing materials, this deoxidation method is relatively simple, and the deoxidation effect is also unstable, which is prone to safety hazards caused by molten steel "turning over" and will increase the carbon content of molten steel; there are also methods such as silicon-calcium alloy deoxidation method, core wire deoxidation method, etc. , although ...

Part of the carbon powder is blown into the bottom of the ladle with argon gas as the medium, mainly to increase the contact time and contact surface area between the carbon powder and the molten steel, which is conducive to the reaction of carbon and oxygen, and improves the utilization rate of molten steel deoxidation; at the same time, the density of carbon powder is small, After adding, it floats on the surface of molten steel. The later it is added, the more unfavorable it is to react with oxygen in the steel. However, if it is added too early, the carbon powder will gather at the bottom of the ladle. The phenomenon of overturning the bag will cause safety accidents. Using argon gas to blow into the bottom can effectively avoid the accumulation of carbon powder, and the generated gas will be discharged in time with the bottom blowing argon gas, which can effectively avoid the phenomenon of "overturning the bag". Specifically, in this embodiment, the simple carbon powder is added in 35S after tapping, and all the composite deoxidizers are added in 90S.
(2) shaking furnace puts steel and starts timing, begins to add elemental carbon powder 0.58kg/t (ton of steel add-on is 0.58kg) after tapping 20S, elemental carbon powder adds in the 40S time range after tapping. In order to better realize carbon powder deoxidation, the bottom blowing flow rate is reduced to 200m3/h after carbon powder is added. At this time, carbon powder deoxidation produces CO gas to participate in molten steel stirring. In addition, in order to prevent the molten steel from being "turned over" by adding carbon powder too early and causing safety accidents, the general tapping time is about 7 minutes. Therefore, the appropriate time to add simple carbon powder is within 20-60 seconds after tapping to ensure that the carbon The carbon powder is in full contact with oxygen to improve the deoxidation rate of the carbon powder;
As can be seen from the above table, the total oxygen content in the steel of each embodiment group is obviously lower than the control group, but does not affect the carbon content in molten ...

Example Embodiment

[0023] Example 1
[0024] For killed steel (steel grade A36Cr) process steps:
[0025] (1) Open the ladle to the tapping position of the converter, open the bottom blowing system, and the bottom blowing flow rate is 300m 3 /h;
[0026] (2) Shaking furnace releases the steel and starts timing. After 20s tapping, 0.58kg/t of elemental carbon powder is added (0.58kg per ton of steel), and the elemental carbon powder is added within 40S after tapping. In order to better achieve carbon powder deoxidation, the bottom blowing flow rate is reduced to 200m after adding carbon 3 /h, at this time, carbon powder is deoxidized to produce CO gas to participate in the stirring of molten steel. In addition, in order to prevent premature addition of carbon powder causing molten steel to "turn over" and cause safety accidents, the general tapping time is about 7 minutes, so the appropriate time for adding elemental carbon powder is within the time range of 20-60S after tapping to ensure carbon The powder is in full contact with oxygen to improve the deoxidation rate of carbon powder;
[0027] (3) After the carbon powder is added at an interval of 30S, add 1.2kg/t of composite deoxidizer, and all composite deoxidizers will be added within the time range of 80S-140S after tapping. The composition (mass fraction) of the composite deoxidizer is 49.3% silicon, 18.5% calcium, 31.2% barium and 1% aluminum. The time interval between the carbon powder and the composite deoxidizer is an essential element, and its purpose is to react with the oxygen in the steel to prevent the carbon from increasing in the steel.
[0028] After the deoxidizer is added, other alloys can be added according to the requirements of the final product. After the steel is placed, the bottom blowing argon gas is turned off; the ladle is opened to the argon station, and the bottom blowing argon stirring is turned on to make the composition and temperature uniform, and the bottom blowing flow rate 150m 3 /h; After 180s of argon blowing at the argon station, oxygen determination, temperature measurement, and composition sampling, the ladle is moved to the LF refining furnace for refining.
[0029] The timing of the addition of the double deoxidizer in this process is closely related to whether the deoxidation can achieve the effect: the deoxidation method is based on the ratio of 0.17~0.58kg/t within the time period of 20~60S after tapping, first add carbon powder, and stop after the addition of carbon 20~30s, the [C][O] in the ladle will react to generate CO gas to be discharged, which is beneficial to control the carbon increase in the steel <100ppm, avoid adding carbon powder to the reaction and incomplete carbon increase at the same time, the deoxidation amount is the largest, reaching the carbon powder deoxidation The best effect, and the utilization rate of carbon powder deoxidation>50%. In addition, the carbon powder deoxidation product is CO gas, which can be discharged from the molten steel in time without forming new inclusions.
[0030] In this process, the composite deoxidizer (40.5% to 49.5% silicon, 18.5% to 26.0% calcium, 27.0% to 31.5% barium, and 0% to 2% aluminum) is added within 180S in the early stage of tapping. In this process, elementary carbon was used for basic deoxidation before, so the composition and usage of the composite deoxidizer are quite different from the prior art. First of all, the composite deoxidizer in this process design has no iron content and the proportion of aluminum is greatly reduced, even without aluminum. However, the deoxidation of aluminum and iron in the prior art will produce a large amount of aluminum oxide that is difficult to remove. The formation of deoxidation products and MnS, the inclusions are difficult to float up and removed in time and remain in the molten steel, which affects the purity of the molten steel. The use of this process deoxidation method greatly reduces the amount of aluminum iron deoxidizer used, improves the quality of molten steel, and reduces the probability of casting machine flocculation At the same time, reduce the cost of deoxidation and increase profit margins for enterprises. Secondly, the ratio of Si, Ca, and Ba components is more reasonable: alkaline earth metals Ca and Ba have low boiling points and are easy to volatilize loss, while Si can reduce the volatilization loss of Ca and Ba and improve element utilization. CaO-SiO, a deoxidation product of Ca and Si 2. The presence of Ca increases the solubility of Si, and at the same time, Ca can denature and easily remove non-metallic inclusions, and improve the deoxidation utilization rate of Ca and Si. The presence of Ba can improve the deoxidation effect and desulfurization capacity of Ca and Si, and refine the grains. . In addition, the existing composite deoxidizers containing Si, Ca, and Ba are mostly added in an amount of 10-20 kg/t. The reason is that the contact area between the deoxidizer and molten steel is small, and the deoxidized products cannot be dissipated in time, thus affecting deoxidation Therefore, in order to achieve a good deoxidizing effect, the amount of deoxidizer used must be increased, which means that the cost is increased and the purity of the product is decreased. In this process, the carbon powder is used to deoxidize in advance, and useful gas and finely dispersed particles are quickly produced. CO gas enhances the disturbance of molten steel. Under such disturbances, silicon, calcium, and barium can be fully mixed with molten steel, and the deoxidation products continue The rapid rise and absorption of steel, the superposition of chemical and physical effects, give full play to the desulfurization and inclusion denaturation capabilities of calcium and barium, which can effectively reduce the generation of deoxidation impurities and MnS, improve the purity of molten steel, and improve the castability of molten steel. Reduce caster flocculation and improve the quality of cast slabs. In addition, this process has changed the way that traditional deoxidizers are added in the middle and late stages of tapping. Two deoxidizers are added within 20S~180S after tapping to achieve gradient deoxidation and the coordination of chemical reactions and physical disturbances to ensure deoxidation. In terms of the effect, the cost is greatly saved. The specific addition amount of the elemental carbon powder and composite deoxidizer depends on the amount of tapping, so the length of time for addition varies. The pilot test results show that as long as the elemental carbon powder is added within 60S after tapping, all the composite The deoxidizer is added within the 180S time range after tapping, and a complete deoxidizing effect can be achieved. In this embodiment, the elemental carbon powder is added at 40S after tapping, and all the composite deoxidizers are added at 140S.
