Abstract

The invention discloses a ladle furnace (LF) refining technology, and relates to the technical field of iron and steel smelting. The problem that recarburization cannot be effectively controlled easily while deep desulfurization is conducted is solved. According to the LF refining technology, the argon flow is dynamically controlled by stages in times of heating and adding of lime and calcium carbide, and thus sufficient argon blowing stirring power can be obtained to guaranteed the desulfuration effect; and meanwhile, the phenomena that fierce turning of steel and slag is caused due to excessively-large argon flow in the heating process, the steel and slag can make contact with a graphite electrode to be reacted, and direct or indirect recarburization can happen are avoided, deep desulfurization is completed and recarburization is effectively controlled. By adoption of the LF refining technology, molten steel deep desulfurization tasks are completed only with several kinds of conventional materials like the lime, the calcium carbide and iron and calcium wires, the input quantity of drugs is small, and cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel smelting, more specifically, it relates to a LF furnace refining process. Background technique [0002] With the increasing requirements of users for steel quality, ladle refining furnace (Ladle Furnace referred to as LF furnace) has developed rapidly as a means of improving the cleanliness of molten steel and improving steel quality, and has now become an indispensable process in the short process of modern steel production. In addition to adopting more mature secondary refining technologies such as submerged arc heating in reducing atmosphere, vacuum degassing, argon blowing and stirring with breathable bricks, LF refining furnace also introduces synthetic slag refining technology to achieve desulfurization and deoxidation through reasonable slagging process Even for the purpose of denitrification, so as to effectively absorb the inclusions in the steel and control the shape of the inclus...
