Problems solved by technology

The two bottom argon blowing methods are blowing at a constant speed, the argon flow channel can be formed above the argon blowing hole, and the kinetic energy of the argon gas cannot be fully used to stir the molten steel
The two argon blowing methods both improve the uniformity and cleanliness of molten steel to a certain extent, but the blowing time is still long during the treatment process, the gas consumption is still high, and the cleanliness of molten steel still needs to be improved. The production of high-quality steel has certain constraints

Abstract

The invention relates to a four-hole circulating bottom argon blowing method for rapidly mixing molten steel. Four argon blowing holes are uniformly distributed in the inner diameter 0.5-0.7R positionof the bottom of a steel ladle, when steel ladle bottom blowing begins, the four argon blowing holes blow argon in sequence and in a circulating mode, the blowing flow of the argon blowing holes is changed based on the sine rule, the blowing flow range of a sine wave peak is from 8 pi to 20 pi m<3> / h, the total blowing flow of the four argon blowing holes is 16-40 m<3> / h, and the cycle time of circulating argon blowing is 1-4 t, wherein the t is the time needed by the argon from the argon blowing holes to reach the molten steel level. According to the method, an argon flow channel can be effectively prevented from being formed in the molten steel, and the kinetic energy of the argon is fully utilized to stir the molten steel; and a higher blowing rate can be generated, stirring strength is increased, the volume of dead zone in the steel ladle is further reduced, and components and temperature of the molten steel are rapidly and uniformly distributed. The method can fully use the stirring effect of the argon on the molten steel, shorten molten steel mixing time, reduce smelting cost and improve refining efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of refining outside the metallurgical furnace, and is particularly suitable for a four-hole circulation bottom argon blowing method for quickly mixing the molten steel in a ladle and speeding up the refining process. Background technique [0002] With the social progress, the demand for high-quality clean steel is increasing year by year, and higher and stricter requirements are put forward for the production of high-quality clean steel. Refining methods for molten steel outside the furnace include slag washing, vacuum, stirring, blowing and heating. In modern metallurgical processes, these methods are usually combined. Argon blowing at the bottom of the ladle is one of the stirring methods, which has uniform molten steel temperature and composition. It can promote the floating of inclusions and improve the cleanliness of molten steel. It has the advantages of simple equipment, flexible and convenient operat...
