Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a slag matching method for recycling spring steel 55SiCr refined slag. Background Art

[0002] 55SiCr belongs to Si-Cr spring steel and is used to manufacture automobile suspension springs. The suspension springs are subjected to reciprocating compression during the driving process of the car, playing the role of buffering and shock absorption. Therefore, when using it, 55SiCr spring steel is required to have high anti-elasticity, high mechanical properties and high fatigue life, and more stringent standards are put forward for the chemical composition, inclusions, organization and plasticity of the wire rod. The tensile strength of the spring steel wire after oil quenching is ≥1900MPa, and the manufacturing stress is ≥1100MPa. The fatigue life of the suspension spring made of 55SiCr spring steel reaches more than 300,000 times.

[0003] At present, the control of 55SiCr inclusions is mainly achieved through the study of the coupling reaction of alloy, refined slag, refractory materials with molten steel and inclusions to obtain plastic inclusion control. The suspension spring is refined with a suitable refined slag system and the refined slag ratio is optimized to achieve the purpose of effectively controlling the morphology of inclusions; the refining process optimizes the deoxidation process and alloy composition, and controls the mass fraction of Al2O3 in the inclusions to ≤20%, so that the endogenous inclusions have good plastic deformation ability and the lateral size is ≤10μm; combined with the high-efficiency inclusion purification technology of electromagnetic stirring in the tundish, the inclusions are controlled to fully collide, aggregate and float up for removal, and the use of high-quality refractory materials is studied to control the entry of foreign inclusions into the molten steel, so as to achieve the smelting of pure steel with a stable size of foreign inclusions ≤60μm.

[0004] In existing production applications, slag is mainly used as solid waste. Because it contains some iron components in molten steel, it will be crushed by hot stuffing method after recycling, and then the iron powder will be adsorbed by magnets. The iron powder will be re-sintered and iron-making. Only 8.0% to 12% of the iron powder can be recovered from 1 ton of slag, that is, 80 to 120 kg. The remaining waste is treated as solid waste, and the slag is wasted a lot.

[0005] In addition, due to the low basicity of the slag during the refining process, after the high-MgO ladle bricks on the inner wall of the ladle are corroded, the ladle brick refractory will react chemically with the slag. The MgO content in the slag after refining will increase from the original 0.85%~1.45% to 12%~19%. If the high-MgO slag is directly recycled and reused in 55SiCr, a large amount of Mg-Si inclusions with poor deformability will be formed, which will eventually affect the fatigue performance and life of the springs made of 55SiCr wire rods. Therefore, the recycling value of 55SiCr refined slag was not great before, and it was generally treated as solid waste. Summary of the invention
