Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a smelting method for producing steel for cords from pure scrap steel in an electric furnace. Background Art

[0002] Cord steel is a fine product of high-quality hard wire steel and is the highest strength steel among commercial steels. Due to its working conditions and safety performance requirements, steel cord has extremely strict requirements on chemical composition, non-metallic inclusion content and its morphology, metallographic structure, etc. For steel wire with a wire diameter of 0.15-0.38mm, 1 ton of wire rod can pull 2000km of steel wire, and the number of wire breakages is not allowed to exceed 1. Therefore, there are very strict standards for cord steel. Cord steel requires uniform chemical composition, small fluctuations in C, Si, and Mn, and strict restrictions on P, S and other residual elements. It is also required that non-metallic inclusions have plasticity, and brittle inclusions such as Al2O3 and calcium aluminate are strictly restricted. In addition, the surface of the steel ingot for cord is not allowed to have pores, scars, inclusions, and cracks with a depth greater than 0.30mm, and shrinkage cavities above level 1.0 and cracks with a length of more than 10mm are not allowed inside.

[0003] Dating back to the 20th century, domestic steel for cord was basically dependent on imports. At that time, it was known as the "crown jewel" of the steel industry. However, with the rapid development of domestic smelting technology, by the beginning of this century, Baosteel, Qinggang and others had successfully developed and gradually realized localization, and the technology became increasingly mature. At present, the main domestic companies producing steel for cord are Baowu, Qinggang, Xingcheng Special Steel, Zhongtian and Shagang, and the smelting process they adopt is: blast furnace → converter (or electric furnace) → LF refining → continuous casting.

[0004] The biggest problem with the production of steel for cord from pure scrap steel in the short process of electric furnace is that the raw materials have complex origins and it is difficult to control residual elements such as Cr, Ni, Cu, As and Sn. Secondly, the process of blast furnace → converter (or electric furnace) → LF refining → continuous casting is adopted, and the nitrogen content in steel is usually 20-30ppm. However, when pure scrap steel is produced in electric furnace, the arc absorbs nitrogen, and the nitrogen content in steel is high, which will seriously affect the drawing and stranding performance, and even cause breakage. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and the invention title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the specification abstract and the invention title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
