Description of the Drawings

[0040] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present specification or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present specification. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a method for determining smelting parameters of ultra-low sulfur steel provided by an embodiment of the present invention;

[0042] Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a device for determining smelting parameters of ultra-low sulfur steel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0043] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope protected by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] Taking a single converter matching a fully continuous casting and rolling production line as an example, due to inaccurate setting of smelting parameters, the smelting cycle of each converter furnace needs about 38 minutes, and the sulfur content of the molten steel is mostly greater than 0.012%, resulting in the inability of the fully continuous casting and rolling production line to efficiently produce ultra-low sulfur steel. Next, the embodiments of the present invention will specifically elaborate on how to improve the production efficiency of ultra-low sulfur steel.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart of a method for determining smelting parameters of ultra-low sulfur steel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, applied to determining the smelting parameters of ultra-low sulfur steel on a fully continuous casting and rolling production line. The method includes:

[0046] S11. Configure the smelting raw materials of ultra-low sulfur steel into a converter for smelting, and perform blowing and tapping operations on the converter to obtain smelting operation parameters.

[0047] Specifically, since the sulfur content of ultra-low sulfur steel needs to be less than 0.005%, the smelting raw materials are correspondingly configured accordingly, so that the sulfur content of the smelting raw materials is controlled within the target range. After the smelting raw materials are configured into the converter for smelting, the smelting raw materials are melted into molten iron, and then blowing and tapping operations are performed on the converter. It can be understood that the blowing and tapping operations are determined based on the specific steel grade being smelted, and the smelting operation parameters are parameters related to smelting efficiency and quality, such as molten iron sulfur content, converter slag basicity, amount of heat supplement agent added, etc.

[0048] In a specific implementation manner, configuring the smelting raw materials of ultra-low sulfur steel into a converter for smelting, and performing blowing and tapping operations on the converter to obtain smelting operation parameters includes:

[0049] Based on the sulfur content limit value of ultra-low sulfur steel, configure the smelting raw materials into the converter for heating and smelting to obtain the weight of scrap steel; perform blowing and tapping operations on the converter based on a preset parameter range to obtain molten iron sulfur content, converter slag basicity, weight of coke as heat supplement agent, and tapping temperature of molten steel; determine the weight of scrap steel, molten iron sulfur content, converter slag basicity, weight of coke as heat supplement agent, and tapping temperature of molten steel as smelting operation parameters.

[0050] Specifically, the sulfur content limit characterizes the target value for controlling the sulfur content in ultra-low sulfur steel. To ensure that the ultra-low sulfur steel meets the production requirements, it can be set to 0.001%. Based on the sulfur content limit, the scrap weight in the smelting raw materials can be determined; the preset parameter range can be determined based on the steel grade. The blowing operation and tapping operation are carried out within the parameter range, and then dynamically adjusted based on the real-time changes during the operation. After the adjustment is stopped, the hot metal sulfur content, converter slag basicity, weight of the heat supplement coke, and tapping temperature of the molten steel can be determined to determine the smelting operation parameters.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the smelting raw materials are configured based on the sulfur content limit of the ultra-low sulfur steel and heated and smelted in a converter to obtain the scrap weight, including:

[0052] Based on the sulfur content limit and the smelting capacity of the converter, the smelting raw materials without high-sulfur scrap and slag iron are configured, and the slag-steel amount of the smelting raw materials does not exceed the first set weight; the smelting raw materials are heated into hot metal and stirred for desulfurization so that the sulfur content of the hot metal is less than the target sulfur content, where the target sulfur content is the product of a preset coefficient and the sulfur content limit; based on the scrap ratio in the hot metal, the scrap weight is obtained.

[0053] Specifically, in the blowing operation, desulfurization takes a relatively long time. To ensure the smelting quality and efficiency, high-sulfur scrap and slag iron are not added to the smelting raw materials, and the slag-steel amount is controlled. The first set weight can be determined based on the experience of technicians or calibration experiments to ensure the smelting efficiency of ultra-low sulfur steel. Taking a 200t converter as an example, the slag-steel amount does not exceed 4t. The fully continuous casting and rolling production line can carry out desulfurization treatment on the molten steel based on the stirring method so that the sulfur content of the hot metal is less than the target sulfur content. The preset coefficient can be set to 0.5, and the scrap weight can be obtained through the weight of the scrap proportioned in the hot metal.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the parameter range includes the furnace slag basicity range, blowing carbon content, temperature range of the blown molten steel, and metering range of the low-sulfur carbonaceous heat supplement. Based on the preset parameter range, the blowing operation and tapping operation are carried out on the converter to obtain the hot metal sulfur content, converter slag basicity, weight of the heat supplement coke, and tapping temperature of the molten steel, including:

[0055] Based on the real-time weighing result of the converter, heat balance blowing is carried out, and after dynamically adjusting to hit the composition and temperature at the blowing end point, the tapping operation is performed. Among them, the dynamic adjustment includes controlling the furnace slag basicity range to be 3.0 - 4.0, the metering range of the low-sulfur carbonaceous heat supplement not exceeding the second set weight, adding heating ferrosilicon when the blowing heat is insufficient, the temperature range of the blown molten steel being 1590 - 1620 °C, and the blowing carbon content being 0.10 - 0.30%; based on the control result of the blowing operation, the hot metal sulfur content, converter slag basicity, and weight of the heat supplement coke are obtained; based on the measured temperature of the tapping operation, the tapping temperature of the molten steel is obtained.

[0056] Specifically, during the hot balance blowing process, the oxygen blowing amount and materials can be dynamically adjusted within the parameter range based on the real-time weighing (or TSC) results to ensure that the end-point composition and temperature are hit in one go. During the blowing operation, a temperature raising agent is added to control the temperature, and the tapping operation is performed after the blowing operation ends. Taking a 200t converter as an example, the second set weight can be set to 2.5t to avoid the sulfur content in the molten steel exceeding the standard due to the low-sulfur carbonaceous heat supplement agent.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, before performing the tapping operation on the converter, it further includes:

[0058] Controlling the gas flow rate of the blowing to be not less than 44000 Nm 3 / h, and the duration of keeping the blowing lance at the lowest lance position before stopping blowing is not less than 2 min, and the gas supply flow rate is not less than 800 Nm 3 / h to ensure the uniformity of the molten steel composition in the converter.

[0059] Specifically, to ensure the uniformity of the molten steel composition, the above control is performed at the end of the blowing operation to ensure the uniformity of the molten steel composition in the converter. The lowest lance position can be set to 1.7 m. It can be understood that the lowest lance position represents the shortest distance between the blowing lance and the molten steel surface. It has been proven by experiments that the above parameters have the best effect on the uniformity of the molten steel composition when performing the blowing operation of a 200t converter.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, performing the tapping operation on the converter includes:

[0061] Performing the tapping operation directly after removing the blowing lance, controlling the addition amount of slag washing small-grained white lime to be 700 - 1000 kg and fluorite to be 200 kg, adding 100 kg of aluminum particles to the slag surface after tapping, and adding alloys after the tapping amount reaches the preset weight to make the carbon content of the molten steel not greater than 0.04%.

[0062] Specifically, the traditional smelting process requires TSC measurement and TSO measurement before the tapping operation. In the present invention, after the TSO measurement is performed before the tapping operation, the tapping operation is directly performed to reduce the smelting time. During the tapping operation, the addition amounts of slag washing small-grained white lime, fluorite, aluminum particles, and alloys are controlled to make the carbon content of the molten steel not greater than 0.04%. The alloys added after the tapping amount reaches the preset weight include deoxidizing alloys and alloys such as silicomanganese. This way of tapping can make full use of the carbon-oxygen reaction during tapping to save deoxidizing alloys. By performing the blowing operation and the tapping operation on the converter, the smelting operation parameters can be obtained. After obtaining the smelting operation parameters, enter step S12.

[0063] S12. Input the smelting operation parameters into a preset regression model to obtain the converter smelting cycle.

[0064] Specifically, the smelting operation parameters characterize the parameters related to the converter smelting cycle; the regression model is a predictive model used to analyze the causal relationship between the converter smelting cycle and the changes in the smelting operation parameters, and the converter smelting cycle can be obtained through the prediction of the regression model.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the smelting operation parameters include the scrap weight, the sulfur content of hot metal, the basicity of converter slag, the coke weight of the heat supplement agent, and the tapping temperature of molten steel. Inputting the smelting operation parameters into a preset regression model to obtain the converter smelting cycle includes:

[0066] According to the formula F = -2.247 + 134.5C + 0.07502G1 - 0.08222P + 3.635G2 + 0.01623T, the converter smelting cycle F is obtained, where C is the sulfur content of hot metal, G1 is the scrap weight, P is the basicity of converter slag, G2 is the coke weight of the heat supplement agent, and T is the tapping temperature of molten steel.

[0067] Specifically, the scrap weight, the sulfur content of hot metal, the basicity of converter slag, the coke weight of the heat supplement agent, and the tapping temperature of molten steel are all closely related to the converter smelting cycle. Inputting the smelting operation parameters into the regression model can accurately calculate the converter smelting cycle according to the formula. This formula is obtained by fitting calculation based on the smelting characteristics of ultra-low sulfur steel on the fully continuous casting and rolling production line, so it can accurately predict the converter smelting cycle. After obtaining the converter smelting cycle, proceed to step S13.

[0068] S13. Determine whether the converter smelting cycle is not greater than the target cycle.

[0069] Specifically, by calculating the difference between the converter smelting cycle and the target cycle, it can be determined whether the converter smelting cycle is not greater than the target cycle. When the difference between the converter smelting cycle and the target cycle is positive, it indicates whether the converter smelting cycle is greater than the target cycle; when the difference between the converter smelting cycle and the target cycle is not positive, it indicates whether the converter smelting cycle is not greater than the target cycle. After the judgment, proceed to step S14 or S15.

[0070] S14. If so, determine the smelting operation parameters as the smelting parameters of the ultra-low sulfur steel.

[0071] Specifically, the converter smelting cycle not being greater than the target cycle indicates that the parameter control for smelting ultra-low sulfur steel on the fully continuous casting and rolling production line is relatively reasonable and continuous production can be carried out. Then, the smelting operation parameters are determined as the smelting parameters of the ultra-low sulfur steel.

[0072] S15. If not, update the smelting operation parameters to smelt the ultra-low sulfur steel, and determine the smelting operation parameters less than the target cycle as the smelting parameters of the ultra-low sulfur steel.

[0073] Specifically, if the converter smelting cycle is longer than the target cycle, it indicates that the parameter control for smelting ultra-low sulfur steel in the fully continuous casting and rolling production line is unreasonable, and the casting machine needs to wait for the molten steel smelted by the converter. Then, the smelting operation parameters are updated to smelt ultra-low sulfur steel again. When the converter smelting cycle is not longer than the target cycle, the smelting operation parameters not longer than the target cycle are determined as the smelting parameters for ultra-low sulfur steel. Since the smelting parameters have been verified through smelting on the fully continuous casting and rolling production line, they have high feasibility and practical significance, and can improve the production efficiency of ultra-low sulfur steel.

[0074] Next, the embodiments of the present invention will illustrate how to implement the smelting of ultra-low sulfur steel in a 200t converter on a fully continuous casting and rolling production line with specific furnace numbers and steel grades:
