Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy, and specifically is a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology. Background Art

[0002] Blowing oxygen in the converter is the main means of removing impurity elements. At the end of smelting, the content of impurity elements in the molten steel is reduced to trace amounts, but there is a large amount of free oxygen in the molten steel. Oxygen is extremely harmful to the quality of steel and needs to be deoxidized. Commonly used deoxidizers include Al, Si, Mn, etc., but their deoxidation products cannot be completely removed and remain in the molten steel, which will have an adverse effect on product quality.

[0003] As a clean deoxidizer, carbon can react with free oxygen in steel at high temperatures to generate CO, which will be separated from the molten steel system without affecting the cleanliness of the molten steel. However, limited by reaction kinetics and thermodynamic factors, the deoxidation rate and deoxidation limit of carbon are lower than those of Al, Si, Mn, etc. Many studies have shown that vacuum conditions help improve the deoxidation ability of carbon. When the vacuum degree is low enough, the deoxidation ability of carbon is even stronger than that of Al, Si, Mn, etc. However, vacuum treatment requires specific reactors, such as VD furnaces, RH furnaces, etc., and its operating costs are also relatively high.

[0059] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] This embodiment is an application of a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology in the production of 45 steel, using a 100t top and bottom combined blowing converter for smelting, with a steel output of 85.7t, including the following steps:

[0062] S1. After the converter smelting, oxygen was determined by an oxygen meter, and the free oxygen content of the molten steel was 582ppm;

[0063] S2. After the converter tapping, the amount of carbon powder added is calculated to be 285kg. After the converter tapping begins, 285kg of carbon powder is added evenly in three batches in three stages, with the amount added in each stage being 60kg, 85kg, and 140kg respectively. No obvious splashing is observed on the molten steel surface. When the tapping volume reaches 3 / 4, 290kg of lime and 350kg of refined synthetic slag are added through the silo. After the tapping is completed, the ladle car leaves the tapping position and enters the LF station.

[0064] S3. Bottom blowing argon deoxidation. After the ladle enters the LF station, argon is blown from the bottom for further deoxidation. The bottom blowing flow rate is gradually increased. After 10 minutes of bottom blowing, the bottom blowing flow rate is adjusted to the hard blowing level (800L / min). During the bottom blowing process, temperature measurement and electrode heating are used to ensure that the molten steel temperature meets the requirements.

[0065] S4. The refined slag is modified and diffused for deoxidation. After bottom blowing for 50 minutes, 90kg of calcium carbide, 70kg of silicon carbide and 20kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface to produce reducing white slag.

[0066] S5. After making white slag, add 574kg of silicon manganese into the molten steel through the alloy silo. After the molten steel composition meets the requirements, in order to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel, feed 60m of calcium wire.

[0067] S6. Soft blowing: After feeding the wire, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing (100L / min) for 10 minutes. After the soft blowing, on-site sampling and automatic scanning of inclusions are performed.

[0068] This process reduces the amount of Al used by about 75% compared with the traditional process while ensuring that the steel composition is qualified, and the number of inclusions in the molten steel before LF ladle hanging is reduced by 43.5%.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] This embodiment is an application of a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology in the production of 45 steel, using a 100t top and bottom combined blowing converter for smelting, with a steel output of 86.5t, including the following steps:

[0071] S1. Oxygen determination after converter smelting, free oxygen content of molten steel is 386ppm;

[0072] S2. After the converter tapping, the amount of carbon powder added is calculated to be 220kg. After the converter tapping begins, 220kg of carbon powder is added evenly in three batches in three stages, with the amount added in each stage being 70kg, 70kg, and 80kg respectively. When the tapping volume reaches 3 / 4, 300kg of lime and 350kg of refined synthetic slag are added through the silo. After the tapping is completed, the ladle car leaves the tapping position and enters the LF station.

[0073] S3. Bottom blowing argon deoxidation. After the ladle enters the LF station, argon is blown from the bottom for further deoxidation. The bottom blowing flow rate is gradually increased. After 5 minutes of bottom blowing, the bottom blowing flow rate is adjusted to the hard blowing level (800L / min). During the bottom blowing process, temperature measurement and electrode heating are used to ensure that the temperature of the molten steel meets the requirements.

[0074] S4. After the refined slag is modified and diffused for deoxidation, 100kg of calcium carbide, 70kg of silicon carbide and 20kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface after bottom blowing for 55 minutes.

[0075] S5. Alloying, after completing the reform of the refined slag, add 584kg of silicon and manganese to the molten steel through the alloy silo to adjust the composition of the molten steel to the target range of the process card. In order to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel, feed 55m of calcium wire.

[0076] S6. After wire feeding, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing for 12 minutes. After the soft blowing is completed, on-site sampling and automatic scanning of inclusions are performed.

[0077] This process reduces the amount of Al used by about 82% compared with the traditional process while ensuring that the steel composition is qualified, and the number of inclusions in the molten steel before LF ladle hanging is reduced by 48.3%.

[0078] Example 3

[0079] This embodiment is an application of a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology in the production of 55 steel, using a 100t top and bottom combined blowing converter for smelting, with a steel output of 87.5t, including the following steps:

[0080] S1. Oxygen determination after converter smelting, free oxygen content of molten steel is 471ppm;

[0081] S2. After the converter tapping, the amount of carbon powder added is calculated to be 260kg. 260kg of carbon powder is added evenly in three batches in three stages, with the amount added in each stage being 80kg, 80kg, and 100kg respectively. When the tapping volume reaches 3 / 4, 300kg of lime and 360kg of refined synthetic slag are added through the silo. After the tapping is completed, the ladle car leaves the tapping position and enters the LF station.

[0082] S3. Bottom blowing argon deoxidation. After the ladle enters the LF station, argon is blown from the bottom for further deoxidation. The bottom blowing flow rate is gradually increased. After 8 minutes of bottom blowing, the bottom blowing flow rate is adjusted to the hard blowing level (800L / min). During the bottom blowing process, temperature measurement and electrode heating are used to ensure that the temperature of the molten steel meets the requirements.

[0083] S4. After the refined slag is modified and diffused for deoxidation, 100kg of calcium carbide, 75kg of silicon carbide and 20kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface after bottom blowing for 55 minutes.

[0084] S5. Alloying, after completing the reform of the refined slag, add 568kg of silicon manganese to the molten steel through the alloy silo. In order to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel, feed 60m of calcium wire.

[0085] S6. After wire feeding, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing for 12 minutes. After the soft blowing is completed, on-site sampling and automatic scanning of inclusions are performed.

[0086] This process reduces the amount of Al used by about 82% compared with the traditional process while ensuring that the steel composition is qualified, and reduces the number of inclusions in the molten steel before LF ladle hanging by 42%.

[0087] Comparative Example 1

[0088] This comparative example is an application of a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology in the production of 55 steel, using a 100t top and bottom combined blowing converter for smelting, with a steel output of 85.5t, and includes the following steps:

[0089] S1. Oxygen determination after converter smelting, free oxygen content of molten steel is 456ppm;

[0090] S2. After the converter tapping, the amount of carbon powder added is calculated to be 255kg. 255kg of carbon powder is added evenly in three batches in three stages, with the amount added in each stage being 75kg, 75kg, and 105kg respectively. When the tapping volume reaches 3 / 4, 290kg of lime and 360kg of refined synthetic slag are added through the silo. After the tapping is completed, the ladle car leaves the tapping position and enters the LF station.

[0091] S3. Bottom blowing argon deoxidation. After the ladle enters the LF station, argon is blown at the bottom for further deoxidation. The bottom blowing flow rate is gradually increased. After 10 minutes of bottom blowing, the bottom blowing flow rate is adjusted to 400L / min. During the bottom blowing process, temperature measurement and electrode heating are used to ensure that the molten steel temperature meets the requirements.

[0092] S4. After the refined slag is modified and diffused for deoxidation, 100kg of calcium carbide, 75kg of silicon carbide and 40kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface after bottom blowing for 75 minutes.

[0093] S5. Alloying, after completing the reform of the refined slag, add 567kg of silicon manganese to the molten steel through the alloy silo. In order to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel, feed 55m of calcium wire.

[0094] S6. After feeding the wire, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing, and the soft blowing time is 15 minutes. After the soft blowing is completed, sampling is performed on site and automatic scanning of inclusions is performed.

[0095] In this comparative example, the deoxidation process took too long to reach 75 minutes due to insufficient bottom blowing flow rate during the bottom blowing argon deoxidation stage, which slowed down the smelting rhythm. In addition, the reduction effect of Al consumption and the number of inclusions was not as good as that of the above embodiment. The amount of Al used was reduced by about 50% compared with the traditional process, and the number of inclusions in the molten steel before the LF ladle was reduced by 19%.

[0096] Comparative Example 2

[0097] This comparative example is an application of a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology in the production of 45 steel, using a 100t top and bottom combined blowing converter for smelting, with a steel output of 86.7t, including the following steps:

[0098] S1. After the converter smelting, oxygen was determined by an oxygen meter, and the free oxygen content of the molten steel was 462ppm;

[0099] S2. After the converter tapping is completed and the oxygen setting is completed, the amount of carbon powder added is calculated to be 257kg. After the converter tapping begins, carbon powder is added to the ladle at a uniform speed. When the tapping volume reaches 3 / 4, 300kg of lime and 350kg of refined synthetic slag are added through the silo. After the tapping is completed, the ladle car leaves the tapping position and enters the LF position.

[0100] S3. Bottom blowing argon deoxidation, the bottom blowing flow rate is always maintained at the hard blowing level (700L / min) from the beginning of steel tapping from the converter.

[0101] S4. The refined slag is modified and diffused for deoxidation. After bottom blowing for 55 minutes, 100kg of calcium carbide, 75kg of silicon carbide and 30kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface to produce reducing white slag.

[0102] S5. After making white slag, add 568kg of silicon manganese into the molten steel through the alloy silo. After the molten steel composition meets the requirements, in order to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel, feed 60m of calcium wire.

[0103] S6. Soft blowing. After wire feeding, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing (100L / min). The soft blowing time is 10min.

[0104] After the oxygen setting was completed, the strategy of adding carbon powder in this comparative example was not adjusted according to the oxygen setting value, resulting in an excessive amount of carbon powder added in the early stage under high-oxygen molten steel conditions. In addition, the bottom blowing was still in a hard blowing state, the molten steel in the ladle was obviously boiling, and the molten steel droplets splashed severely, which was not conducive to safe production.

[0105] The present invention does not use aluminum deoxidation during the steel-making process. The primary deoxidation is completed by carbon after the converter, and the final deoxidation is carried out by bottom blowing argon and making reducing slag after the ladle enters the LF refining furnace. This process can effectively reduce or eliminate the consumption of deoxidation alloy, improve the cleanliness of molten steel, and has good metallurgical effects.

[0106] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
