Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for improving the success rate of automated steelmaking, belonging to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgical methods. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of steelmaking technology, automated steelmaking is becoming one of the important indicators for measuring the development level of steel enterprises. Currently, the popular automated steelmaking model in China is a dynamic-static model. The static part calculates process parameters such as oxygen consumption and blowing time based on information such as the composition and temperature of molten iron, scrap steel, raw materials, and the final composition requirements for different steel grades, using the overall thermal-oxygen balance of the converter. After the first stage of static control is completed, the temperature and composition of the molten steel are actually measured using methods such as secondary lances or bombs. Then, a second calculation is performed based on the difference between the actual measurement and calculation, as well as the final requirements, which is the so-called dynamic control, ultimately achieving the target composition and temperature. However, in actual operation, the target accuracy rate of automated steelmaking is often low, especially the temperature accuracy rate. The reason for this is that external factors such as production organization and equipment failures causing converter waiting or interruption of blowing are a significant cause of the large deviation between the model calculation and the actual results.
[0003] Patent CN202110246617.1 provides a method and apparatus for dynamic control of the entire converter blowing process, and patent CN202110200880.7 provides an unmanned intelligent steelmaking system and method. Both patents focus on automated steelmaking, addressing dynamic data monitoring and intelligent systems respectively. However, neither addresses how to ensure the automated steelmaking process reaches its endpoint when converter stalls due to production anomalies. Therefore, both inventions provide process control under normal automated steelmaking conditions and offer no guidance on how to conduct automated steelmaking under abnormal circumstances. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for improving the success rate of automated steelmaking. By comprehensively considering various abnormal factors, calculating the temperature change of molten steel based on different waiting times, and timely collecting relevant information and incorporating it into the model calculation, the automated steelmaking process can be carried out completely, promoting a continuous improvement in the final success rate. This method can reduce the problem of large deviations between model calculations and actual results caused by abnormal factors during converter waiting. It can be applied on a large scale in the steelmaking process, is easy to operate, has stable effects, improves product quality and social and economic benefits, and effectively solves the aforementioned problems existing in the background technology.
[0005] The technical solution of this invention is: a method for improving the success rate of automated steelmaking, comprising the following steps:
[0006] (1) Collect abnormal factor parameters, including converter waiting time, bottom blowing intensity and whether the converter is shaken;
[0007] (2) Substitute the abnormal factor parameters into the formula to calculate the temperature loss. The formula is as follows:

[0010] (3) Analyze the calculation results. If the deviation between the predicted temperature and the actual measured temperature is within ±5°C, it is considered a hit; otherwise, it is considered a deviation from the target.
[0011] In step (2), the relevant parameter values are taken as follows:
[0012] =5 °C / min, =1 °C / min, tilt =6.5-7.5°C, Δ =0.1-0.2°C / min, w =2min.
[0013] The temperature loss during converter shaking tilt The reference values are as follows: for shaking time within 1 minute, take the lower limit; for shaking time between 1 minute and 2 minutes, take the middle limit; and for shaking time exceeding 2 minutes, take the upper limit.
[0014] The temperature loss Δ caused by bottom blowing The reference values are as follows: 0.2°C / min for waiting before blowing, and 0.1°C / min for waiting during the interruption of blowing.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by comprehensively considering various abnormal factors, calculating the temperature change of molten steel according to different waiting times, and timely collecting relevant information and incorporating it into the model calculation, the automated steelmaking process can be carried out completely, promoting the continuous improvement of the endpoint hit rate; it can reduce the problem of large deviations between model calculation and actual results caused by abnormal factors after converter waiting, and can be applied on a large scale in the steelmaking process. It is easy to operate, has stable effects, and improves product quality and social and economic benefits. Detailed Implementation
