Problems solved by technology

However, when argon is filled in the vacuum induction furnace and nitrogen alloy is added, the yield of nitrogen in the steel is unstable, and the amount of nitrogen increase is not easy to control; in order to avoid a large number of concentrated bubbles, the nitride alloy can only be added in batches, which seriously slows down the process. Production rhythm; the smoke and dust brought up when adding nitrided alloys is not conducive to the observation of furnace conditions under vacuum; using nitrided alloys for alloying, the production cost is high

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for quickly smelting low-nitrogen stainless steel through a vacuum induction furnace, and belongs to the technical field of steel and iron metallurgy. The method comprises the steps of (1) adding steel and iron materials and an alloy material not liable to oxidize into a vacuum induction furnace crucible; (2) firstly, carrying out vacuum pumping, and then, performing energization for heating till the steel and iron materials are melted; (3) after melting, measuring the temperature, and carrying out refining with the vacuum degree and temperature maintained; (4) calculating the required nitrogen pressure, then, filling the furnace with nitrogen with the required pressure, and carrying out nitrogen increase alloying; and (5) carrying out alloying of other alloy materials under the nitrogen atmosphere, and carrying out pouring in the planned steel pouring time. According to the method, nitrogen alloying is carried out through utilizing nitrogen, the alloying of other elements is carried out under the nitrogen atmosphere protection, the reaction process is steady and controllable, the melting cycle is short, and the purpose that the low-nitrogen stainless steel is quickly and accurately smelted is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for rapidly smelting low-nitrogen stainless steel in a vacuum induction furnace, belonging to the field of iron and steel metallurgy. Background technique [0002] Nitrogen is a strong austenite forming element, 27 times stronger than nickel, and is often used to replace expensive nickel in stainless steel, and nitrogen can also produce dispersion hardening by precipitation of nitrides in complex austenitic steels , Improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of steel. Therefore, nitrogen can be added to increase hot strength without significantly affecting brittleness. [0003] At present, nitrogen-containing stainless steel is smelted in a vacuum induction furnace, and nitrogen-increasing alloying is mainly carried out by filling nitrogen alloys under an argon atmosphere. However, when argon is filled in the vacuum induction furnace and nitrogen alloy is added, the yield of nitrogen in the steel is u...
