Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molten steel aluminum content detection, and specifically relates to a method for improving the detection accuracy of molten steel aluminum content. Background Art
[0002] The detection fluctuation of aluminum in slab steel is relatively large. For some steel grades, the amount of aluminum nitride precipitation needs to be controlled. It is required to further improve the detection accuracy of aluminum in molten steel and achieve precise control of aluminum in molten steel, thereby improving product performance.
[0003] At present, when using a pancake sampler to sample molten steel, the pancake sample undergoes secondary oxidation during the sampling process, resulting in a low aluminum content, which can easily lead to uneven samples, shrinkage cavities, and inaccurate cooling rate control. The samples are directly thrown into the water tank for cooling, and the cooling rate varies greatly, especially in winter. If the temperature is low, the samples are prone to cracks, resulting in a high total oxygen measurement. In addition, the pancake sample has a small sample size, and it is difficult to avoid the central porous shrinkage layer when cutting, which also leads to a large standard deviation of aluminum detection.
[0004] The detection accuracy of the traditional pancake sampler is relatively poor, with large fluctuations and a standard deviation of 0.0010% (the requirement for aluminum in molten steel is 0.032%), which is difficult to meet the quality requirements of the product. Therefore, a method for improving the detection accuracy of aluminum content in molten steel is proposed. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the detection accuracy of aluminum content in molten steel with a reasonable design in order to solve the above-mentioned problem.
[0006] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present invention provides a method for improving the detection accuracy of aluminum content in molten steel, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Deoxidation and refining of molten steel: first pre-deoxidize the silicon carbide out of the converter; then add ferrosilicon for alloying, and then add aluminum blocks for deoxidation and refining;
[0009] Molten steel sampling: Use a bucket sampler to sample the molten steel. The depth of the bucket sampler inserted into the molten steel should be controlled between 230-250mm.
[0010] After sampling, place the bucket sampler in a 20° cooling device to cool evenly to obtain sample A;
[0011] Cutting test: Send sample A to the cutting machine for cutting, and select the position 20mm away from the end of the sample to cut, and obtain sample B;
[0012] Then, the sample B is firstly subjected to milling by a milling machine. After the milling by the milling machine, the grinding depth of the sample B is controlled to be 1.2 mm;
[0013] Sample B was polished with 800-mesh silicon carbide sandpaper to a roughness of 0.8 μm, and then the aluminum content was measured after being cleaned with alcohol and cooled.
[0014] During deoxidation refining, the slag basicity is controlled between 0.5 and 0.6, and the white slag atmosphere is maintained for more than 10 minutes;
[0015] Add bauxite 0.5-1.5kg / t and magnesia 0.5-1.0kg / t at the refining station, control the basicity of ladle slag to 0.5-0.6, the alumina content in the slag to 20-30%, the MgO in the slag to 10-20%, and TFe+MnO in the slag ≤2%.
[0016] Among them, the diameter of the bucket sampler is 40mm and the height is 120mm.
[0017] When sampling, the bucket sampler stays in the molten steel for 6-10 seconds.
[0018] Among them, the cooling time is 3 minutes.
[0019] The roughness is measured by one of the following testing devices: an interference microscope, a stylus surface roughness meter, and a light-section microscope, and the grinding time with 800-grit silicon carbide sandpaper is 2 minutes.
[0020] Among them, the determination method of aluminum content is:
[0021] Six detection points are obtained on sample B, and the detection values SD are obtained for the six detection points respectively. The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the precision detection method adopted by the present invention realizes the precise control of the aluminum content in molten steel, ensuring that the product meets the high quality standard. The method is characterized by high detection accuracy, excellent detection effect and high uniformity of aluminum content in the sample, which significantly improves the comprehensive performance of the product. At the same time, by adopting a bucket sampler, not only the sufficient amount of samples is ensured, but also the subsequent processing of samples is greatly facilitated. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present application is described in further detail below. It is necessary to point out that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technicians in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0023] In order to verify the effect of the present invention, the following experiments were carried out on the embodiments and comparative examples:
[0024] Example 1
[0025] A method for improving the detection accuracy of aluminum content in molten steel comprises the following steps:
[0026] (1) Deoxidation and refining of molten steel: First, pre-deoxidize the silicon carbide produced from the converter; then add ferrosilicon for alloying, and then add aluminum blocks for deoxidation and refining;
[0027] During deoxidation refining, the slag basicity is controlled between 0.5-0.6, and the white slag atmosphere is maintained for more than 10 minutes. Bauxite 0.5-1.5kg / t and magnesia 0.5-1.0kg / t are added at the refining station. The ladle slag basicity is controlled at 0.5-0.6, the alumina content in the slag is 20-30%, the MgO in the slag is 10-20%, and the TFe+MnO in the slag is ≤2%.
[0028] Among them, the slag is acidic slag with high viscosity and thick slag, which can reduce the reaction of steel slag, thereby stabilizing the aluminum content in molten steel, increasing the content of alumina and MgO in the slag, and also increasing the viscosity of the slag.
[0029] Then the free oxygen content is measured and the aluminum addition operation is performed, specifically:
[0030] The free oxygen content in the molten steel in step (1) is measured using an oxygen meter, and aluminum wire is added to increase aluminum, the ratio of acid-soluble aluminum to total aluminum is controlled to be above 92%, and the aluminum content is controlled to be between 0.015% and 0.025%;
[0031] (2) Molten steel sampling: Select a bucket sampler with a specification of 40mm*120mm for molten steel sampling, and control the depth of the bucket sampler inserted into the molten steel to be 230mm.
[0032] When sampling, let the bucket sampler stay in the molten steel for 6-10 seconds. This can increase the sample saturation and reduce the occurrence of shrinkage holes and looseness in the sample.
[0033] After sampling, place the bucket sampler in a 20° cooling pool for uniform cooling for 3 minutes. This ensures that the sample does not have microcracks due to excessive cooling, which would result in high oxygen measurement.
[0034] After cooling, sample A was obtained;
[0035] (3) Cutting test: a. Send sample A from step (2) to a cutting machine for cutting, and select a position 20 mm away from the end of the sample for cutting.
[0036] After cutting off the sample A, the sample B is obtained; and then the sample B is milled by a milling machine, the grinding depth of the sample B is 1.2mm, and the sample B has no shrinkage holes visible to the naked eye;
[0037] b. After processing, sample B is polished with 800-mesh silicon carbide sandpaper for 2 minutes, and then the roughness of the sample processing surface is tested using one of the testing devices selected from an interference microscope, a stylus surface roughness measuring instrument, and a light sectioning microscope. This embodiment takes an interference microscope as an example.
[0038] After the cutting surface of sample B is processed, the roughness is 0.7um. Sample B is then cleaned and cooled with alcohol to reduce its heat generation and oxidation. Finally, the aluminum content is measured in 3 minutes after it evaporates.
[0039] Final data results: The aluminum content of 6 points on sample B was tested, and the SD of the test value at each point was 0.00021%.
[0040] It should be noted that during the sample preparation process, the sample cannot turn yellow. Because the sample is rough, the surface is easily oxidized, and the oxygen content is high, the aluminum content of the test sample is lower than the actual value of the molten steel, and the fluctuation is relatively large. In addition, it should be noted again that the aluminum content on the test sample B can be selected from: optical emission spectroscopy, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology, and data acquisition and analysis. This embodiment takes optical emission spectroscopy as an example, and the detection process is omitted.

This method is characterized by high detection accuracy, excellent detection effect and high uniformity of aluminum content in the sample, which significantly improves the comprehensive performance of the product.
