Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of converter steelmaking, and particularly relates to a processing method for excessive manganese content of screw steel molten steel, and belongs to the technical field of smelting. BACKGROUND
[0002] Screw steel is hot-rolled ribbed steel, and is a kind of steel material that must be used in medium-sized or larger building components, and is widely used in civil engineering construction such as houses, bridges and roads. From large public facilities such as highways, railways, bridges, culverts, tunnels, flood control and dams to small building foundations, beams, columns, walls and boards, screw steel is an indispensable structural material. With the deepening of urbanization in China, the vigorous development of infrastructure construction and real estate has a strong demand for screw steel. Screw steel has relatively strict requirements on its mechanical properties, and in order to ensure the qualified mechanical properties, the manganese content in the steel material usually needs to be controlled. If the manganese content in the steel material is too low, the mechanical properties will be unqualified, and if the manganese content is too high, the plasticity of the steel material will decrease, causing brittle fracture.
[0003] Chinese patent CN110453032A provides a method for smelting ultra-low manganese steel by using high-manganese molten iron, in which a double-slag method is used to remove most of the manganese elements in the molten iron in the converter process, and a converter low-temperature tapping and LF refining deep manganese removal process is used to further remove manganese, so as to stably control the molten steel manganese content below 0.02% under the condition that the molten iron manganese content is higher than 0.40%. In the patent, oxygen is blown in the converter to remove manganese, and in the refining process, the molten steel is further removed by free oxygen and Fe2O3 as the main component of the oxide scale ball. However, for the screw steel after adding alloy, the molten steel has no free oxygen, and the silicon content in the molten steel is high. If Fe2O3 is used as the oxide to remove manganese, the silicon will be preferentially removed due to the lower oxygen potential of silicon, and the manganese can be removed after the silicon is removed. For the alloyed screw steel without free oxygen, how to efficiently and accurately remove manganese is a technical problem to be solved by the present application. SUMMARY
[0004] The composition of screw steel mainly includes C 0.20-0.25%, Si 0.50-0.80%, Mn 1.35-1.45%, P 0-0.045%, S 0-0.045%, V 0.02-0.03%, and N 50-100ppm. In the production of screw steel, a straight-up fast smelting process is generally adopted, and the smelting process route is converter→argon station→continuous casting. In order to reduce the alloying in the argon station, the manganese content of the molten steel is generally adjusted during the tapping process of the converter, and the alloy content can be slightly adjusted during the treatment process in the argon station.
[0005] The inventors find that in actual production process, when encountering large pieces of manganese-containing alloy, the tapping process is not completely melted, the manganese content of the argon station sampling molten steel does not reach the target, and the excessive manganese-containing alloy is added, which will cause the manganese content of the molten steel to exceed the standard. In this case, the molten steel needs to be remelted, which increases the cost of steelmaking.
[0006] In view of the above situation, the purpose of the present application is to provide a treatment method for the case that the manganese content of the deformed steel exceeds the standard, which removes the manganese content of the molten steel without removing other alloying elements when the manganese content of the molten steel exceeds the standard.
[0007] The specific method steps and control method parameters are as follows:
[0008] A treatment method for the case that the manganese content of the deformed steel exceeds the standard, which is a remedial method for the case that the manganese content of the molten steel exceeds the standard during the deformed steel smelting. The method comprises the following steps: after finding that the manganese content of the ladle molten steel exceeds the standard, the ladle is transported to the LF station, a certain amount of manganese removal agent is added, and manganese removal is carried out through high-flow bottom argon blowing.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the main components of the manganese removal agent are: MgO 10-20%, CaO 5-10%, SiO2 60-80%, and other impurities.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the amount of manganese removal agent added is 2850×([%Mn] 初始 -[%Mn] 目标 ) / ([%SiO2]+1 / 4[%MgO]) kg / t; in the formula, %SiO2 and %MgO are the percentage contents of SiO2 and MgO in the manganese removal agent, [%Mn] 初始 and [%Mn] 目标 are the initial manganese content and the target manganese content of the molten steel, respectively.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the argon flow rate of bottom blowing is 10-20 L / min, and the stirring time is 5-10 min.
[0012] The advantages of the present application mainly lie in the following aspects:
[0013] 1. A manganese removal method is provided, which removes the manganese content of the molten steel without removing other alloying elements in the molten steel when the manganese content of the molten steel exceeds the standard. SiO2 is used as the main deoxidizer, which can directly remove manganese without causing desiliconization reaction.
[0014] 2. The application provides a manganese removal agent, which is mainly composed of 10-20% of MgO, 5-10% of CaO and 60-80% of SiO2, wherein the SiO2 serves as an oxidant to oxidize the manganese content in molten steel into MnO; in addition, the MgO in the manganese removal agent can protect the ladle lining and reduce the erosion of the ladle lining by SiO2; meanwhile, the MgO can form a solid solution with the MnO to promote the manganese removal reaction.
[0015] 3. The application provides a manganese removal agent adding method, which can accurately remove the manganese content in molten steel. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
