Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy manufacturing, and in particular to a low-cost smelting method for aluminum-killed steel. Background Art
[0002] When smelting aluminum-killed steel, aluminum-containing alloys are added to the molten steel during the converter tapping process to deoxidize and alloy it. However, due to aluminum's low melting point, low density, and susceptibility to oxidation at high temperatures, aluminum burns off significantly during the converter tapping process and subsequent refining, resulting in low aluminum yields and high steelmaking costs. Furthermore, increased aluminum burn-off leads to an increase in Al2O3 inclusions, which can cause nodules on the submerged nozzle during the pouring process, further compromising ingot quality.
[0003] Patent CN106811575A discloses a device and method for improving the aluminum yield after the converter furnace. Using dedicated aluminum cake feeding equipment after the converter furnace, aluminum blocks or cakes are directly sunk into the molten steel according to a specific method. This prevents the aluminum blocks from floating up and coming into contact with slag or the atmosphere, which could cause them to burn. This improves the aluminum yield after the converter furnace and reduces production costs. However, this method requires additional equipment and relies on manual hanging of aluminum cakes, which limits its application scenarios, is complex to operate, and has low production efficiency.
[0004] Patent CN113584258A discloses a method for reducing aluminum loss during LF refining. By periodically adding the first and second batches of refining slag, the slag-making process is optimized to control the (CaO%) / (Al2O3%) ratio in the slag, reduce the mass transfer capacity of the oxidizing components in the slag, and weaken the redox reaction at the slag-steel interface, thereby reducing aluminum loss. However, the high-viscosity, high-solids slag produced by this method has poor desulfurization performance and weak inclusion absorption capacity, which weakens the slag's effectiveness. Given the current high cleanliness requirements for steel materials, this method is difficult to meet.
[0005] The existing technology mainly has the following problems: 1. The aluminum alloy addition process is unreasonable, and the recovery rate of metallic aluminum in the converter steelmaking process is low; 2. Slag formation and desulfurization reactions in the LF refining process lead to violent slag-metal reactions and large aluminum losses; 3. In the LF refining process, the ladle bottom blowing intensity is high, resulting in large aluminum losses; 4. The aluminum loss in the entire smelting process is large, resulting in a large number of inclusions and nodules in the continuous casting nozzle.
[0006] In view of this, this patent is applied for. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a low-cost smelting method for aluminum-killed steel. By adjusting the aluminum alloy addition process and LF refining process, the problem of low metal aluminum yield in the entire process of aluminum-killed steel is solved.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the technical invention of the present invention is as follows: a low-cost smelting method of aluminum-killed steel, comprising the following steps:
[0009] S1. Hot metal pretreatment: KR stirring desulfurization, the end point sulfur content is ≤0.0030% after the treatment, and there is no slag on the surface of the hot metal;
[0010] S2. Converter smelting: The ratio of scrap steel to molten iron in the converter is 1:4-5, and the converter bottom blowing flow rate is 500-800m 3 / h, and ensure that no less than 4 bottom blowing holes are working at the same time, and the bottom blowing flow rate of a single hole is ≥125m 3 / h, aluminum alloy and other alloys are added to the ladle in sequence during the converter tapping process, the converter end point carbon content is 0.03%-0.04%, the converter end point free oxygen content is 0.05%-0.07%, and the converter end point sulfur content is ≤0.0050%;
[0011] S3, LF refining: After the ladle is placed, start the ladle bottom blowing with a flow rate of 200-300NL / min. After stirring for 5 minutes, take steel samples and slag samples for testing and temperature measurement. According to the alloy composition of the molten steel, adjust the composition to the target value;
[0012] S4. Continuous casting: The molten steel passes through the tundish, crystallizer and other processes to obtain qualified continuous casting billets.
[0013] The principles of the present invention are as follows: by slag-making in the converter steel-making process, the slag-making task of the LF process is advanced, and by desulfurization in the KR process, the desulfurization task is advanced. On the one hand, the better kinetic conditions of the converter steel-making process are utilized to rapidly slag-make, thereby reducing the loss of metallic aluminum during slag-making in the LF refining process. On the other hand, the loss of metallic aluminum due to the vigorous reaction of slag and gold during the LF refining and desulfurization process is reduced. The sulfur content at the converter end point is controlled to shorten the LF desulfurization time, thereby reducing the loss of aluminum due to the slag-gold reaction in the LF process. The timing of adding aluminum alloy and the ladle bottom blowing flow rate system are controlled to ensure that the aluminum alloy is in full contact with the molten steel and avoid exposure to air. At the same time, the ladle bottom blowing is used to remove oxidizing air in the ladle before the converter steel-making process. At the same time, during the steel-making process, appropriate kinetic conditions are controlled to promote the dissolution of aluminum in the aluminum alloy, thereby improving the yield of metallic aluminum during the converter steel-making process. By synergizing the bottom blowing flow rate control, alloy mixing, and power-on temperature increase during the LF refining process, the exposure time of the molten steel is reduced, the power supply efficiency is improved, the loss of metallic aluminum during the LF refining process is reduced, the number of inclusions is reduced, and the pouring performance of the molten steel is improved.
[0014] Preferably, in S2, after 1 / 18 of the steel has been tapped from the converter, the aluminum-containing alloy begins to be added to the ladle, and when 5 / 6 of the steel has been tapped, the addition of the aluminum-containing alloy is completed.
[0015] More preferably, in S2, the amount of aluminum alloy added per ton of steel is calculated according to the following formula: (free oxygen % at the converter end point*15+0.4) / aluminum content in the aluminum alloy.
[0016] Preferably, in S2, other alloys are added according to the lower limit of the target composition range after the aluminum alloy is initially added.
[0017] Preferably, in S2, lime is added in an amount of 1.5-3.5 kg / t after 1 / 9 of the steel has been tapped from the converter; and after tapping is completed, a slag surface deoxidizer is added in an amount of 1-2 kg / t. The slag surface deoxidizer comprises 30% Al, 15% Al2O3, 20% CaO, 20% CaF2, and the remainder is Fe.
[0018] Preferably, in S2, the ladle bottom blowing flow rate system during the converter tapping process is: 3 minutes before tapping: 500-600NL / min; during tapping: 300-400NL / min; after tapping: 100-200NL / min.
[0019] Preferably, in S3, after 5 minutes of refining treatment, the sulfur content in the molten steel is ≤0.003%, and the aluminum content is 0.05-0.08%.
[0020] More preferably, in S3, 5 minutes after the refining process starts, the steel slag composition is: T.Fe<1%, MnO<1%, Al2O325-35%, CaO 43-53%, SiO2 8-12%, MgO 6-10%.
[0021] Preferably, in S3, according to the temperature of the molten steel, the power is turned on to raise the temperature to the target temperature, and the bottom blowing flow rate is adjusted to 300-400NL / min during the power-on period.
[0022] More preferably, in S3, 0.2-0.3 kg / t of calcium carbide is added every 10 minutes of power supply.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. The present invention advances the slagging and desulfurization tasks of the LF process, controls the sulfur content at the converter end point, shortens the time for LF refining slagging and desulfurization, and thus reduces aluminum loss during the LF process.
[0025] 2. The present invention improves the yield of metallic aluminum in the LF refining process by controlling the timing of aluminum addition and the ladle bottom blowing flow rate.
[0026] 3.
