Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molten steel refining in iron and steel metallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for calculating the calcium wire feeding amount of molten steel based on a minimum Gibbs free energy method. Background Art

[0002] During the smelting process of molten steel, aluminum, as a strong deoxidizer, can effectively reduce the oxygen in the molten steel to a lower level. However, the addition of aluminum will generate a large amount of aluminum oxide inclusions, leading to nozzle nodules, affecting the smoothness of the continuous casting process and causing a decrease in product quality. Therefore, in most steel grades that use aluminum deoxidation, metallic calcium, which is more active than aluminum, is added to the molten steel to modify the aluminum oxide inclusions in the molten steel into liquid calcium aluminates, reducing nozzle nodules and blockage problems, ensuring smooth continuous casting, and improving product quality. At the same time, the presence of calcium in steel can also control the morphology and quantity of MnS inclusions during steel solidification, cooling and heating. However, there is a reasonable range for the amount of calcium required in steel, which cannot be too high or too low.

[0003] The reasonable calcium requirement in molten steel is related to the conditions such as molten steel temperature, molten steel composition and steel type. The calcium requirement of molten steel in different production furnaces is different. At present, almost all enterprises carry out calcium treatment operations based on experience, lacking a scientific and reasonable guidance, so the control of calcium content in steel is unstable. Therefore, based on the minimum Gibbs free energy principle, the inclusion composition and appropriate calcium content in the current molten steel are calculated, and finally the appropriate calcium feeding line length is obtained to achieve precise control of calcium treatment operations, which has important research value and significance for reducing the production and operation costs of enterprises, improving product quality and alloy utilization efficiency.
