[0038] Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all materials, reagents, and equipment used in this application are commercially available or are readily prepared by known methods.

[0039] In a first aspect, the application provides a preparation method of high-aluminum steel slab, please refer to Figure 1 , the method comprises:

[0040] S1, refining the molten steel by LF+RH method, and adding Ti into the molten steel; wherein, the content of N in the molten steel is controlled, and the weight ratio of the added amount of Ti to the content of N is controlled;

[0041] S2, continuously casting the refined molten steel; wherein, the continuous casting comprises: injecting the refined molten steel into a tundish, and adding an alkaline covering agent with a first set chemical composition into the molten steel in the tundish; injecting the molten steel in the tundish into a mold for first cooling, and adding a protective slag with a set physical parameter and a second set chemical composition into the molten steel in the mold, to obtain a casting blank with a liquid core; under the condition of a set casting speed, drawing the casting blank with the liquid core to a secondary cooling zone for second cooling, to obtain a high-aluminum steel slab.

[0042] In some embodiments, the set physical parameter comprises: a melting point and a viscosity; wherein, the melting point is <1150℃, and the viscosity is 0.09-0.12 pa·s.

[0043] The positive effects of controlling the melting point of the protective slag to be <1150℃ and the viscosity of the protective slag to be 0.09-0.12 pa·s are: the protective slag has good melting and flowing properties, the meniscus liquid slag in the mold has a fast updating rate, and the degeneration reaction is not easy to accumulate to cause deterioration of the lubrication effect. If the melting point of the protective slag is too high, it will slow down the melting rate to some extent. If the viscosity of the protective slag is too high, it will deteriorate the liquid slag flowability to some extent; if the viscosity of the protective slag is too low, it will cause the liquid slag to flow in too thick and unevenly to cause concave to some extent. Specifically, the melting point of the protective slag can be 1149℃, 1147℃, 1145℃, 1143℃, etc.; the viscosity of the protective slag can be 0.09 pa·s, 0.10 pa·s, 0.11 pa·s, 0.12 pa·s, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second set chemical composition comprises: CaO, SiO2, MgO, Al2O3, Li2O, C, and F; wherein, in terms of mass fraction,

[0045] CaO is 35-45%, SiO2 is 25-35%, MgO is 1-3%, Al2O3 is 1-3%, Li2O is 2-5%, C is 4-8%, F is 6-10%;

[0046] and simultaneously satisfying [CaO] / [SiO2]=1.1-1.3, [CaO] represents the weight of CaO, and [SiO2] represents the weight of SiO2.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the protective slag is a complex compound formed based on the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 ternary phase diagram, with the addition of certain fluxing agents (CaF, Li2O, NaO, etc.) and control of melting rate substances (mainly carbon black and graphite). The influence of each component on the physical property parameters such as melting rate, melting point, and viscosity is complex and multi-faceted, and the physical properties of the protective slag are comprehensively controlled to achieve the desired metallurgical effect.

[0048] The main component contents of CaO-SiO2 system protective slag CaO and SiO2 are about 20-40%, and the composition ratio is generally determined by the required basicity (basicity affects melting point, heat transfer, viscosity, etc.). MgO and Al2O3 should be controlled to be less, otherwise it will increase the melting point and viscosity (MgO increases the melting point, and Al2O3 increases the melting point and viscosity). Then a certain amount of CaF, Na2O, Li2O is added to control the melting point and viscosity. C is mainly used to control the melting rate. The protective slag used in the embodiments of the present application is located in the low melting point region after modification reaction, has good fluidity, fast consumption and renewal of protective slag, stable performance, is conducive to improving the quality of the casting blank and ensuring smooth pouring. The slag uses CaO / SiO2 slag system design to increase the proportion of CaO and SiO2 in the original slag. The new protective slag avoids the high melting point region of calcium aluminum yellow long stone after modification reaction, and the mineral phase type after modification of the protective slag is low melting point phase 3CaO·2SiO2·CaF2 and 12CaO·7Al2O3. Specifically, the content of CaO can be 35%, 37%, 39%, 41%, 43%, 45%, etc. The content of SiO2 can be 25%, 27%, 29%, 31%, 33%, 35%, etc. The content of MgO can be 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. The content of Al2O3 can be 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. The content of Li2O can be 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc. The content of C can be 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, etc.

[0049] [CaO] / [SiO2] represents the basicity of the protective slag, and the positive effect of controlling the basicity to be 1.1-1.3 is: the basicity mainly controls the heat transfer, achieves the effect of slow cooling on the primary shell of the mold, and promotes the uniform growth of the primary shell. Specifically, the basicity can be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, the molten steel in the tundish is injected into a crystallizer, and a protective slag with set physical parameters and a second set chemical composition is added to the molten steel of the crystallizer to obtain a casting billet with a liquid core, comprising:

[0051] The molten steel in the tundish is injected into a crystallizer, and a protective slag with set physical parameters and a second set chemical composition is added to the molten steel of the crystallizer, and the vibration process parameters of the crystallizer are controlled to obtain a casting billet with a liquid core; wherein,

[0052] The vibration process parameters include: vibration frequency ≥ 150 cpm, vibration amplitude ≥ 3 mm, and negative stripping time of 0.10-0.14 s.

[0053] The positive effect of controlling the above vibration process parameters: using a high-frequency small-amplitude vibration mode, controlling the negative stripping time t N , on the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the consumption of protective slag and improve the lubricating effect, and on the other hand, the short negative stripping time is beneficial to reduce the depth of the casting billet vibration marks and thus reduce the transverse crack sensitivity. Specifically, the vibration frequency can be 150 cpm, 155 cpm, 160 cpm, etc.; the vibration amplitude can be 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, etc.; and the negative stripping time can be 0.10 s, 0.11 s, 0.12 s, 0.13 s, 0.14 s, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments, the content of N in the molten steel is ≤0.004% by mass fraction.

[0055] The positive effect of controlling the content of N in the above molten steel to be ≤0.004%: it is beneficial to reduce the precipitation of AlN in high-aluminum steel and improve the high-temperature plasticity in the straightening area. If the content of N is too high, it will promote the precipitation of AlN in the straightening area to a certain extent, thereby deteriorating the high-temperature plasticity of the steel. Specifically, the content of N can be 0.004%, 0.0035%, 0.003%, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments, the weight ratio of the added amount of Ti to the content of N is 4-5.

[0057] The positive effect of controlling the weight ratio of the added amount of Ti to the content of N to be 4-5: since the precipitation temperature of TiN is higher than that of AlN, it plays a role in fixing nitrogen, and TiN particles can act as heterogeneous cores for AlN and other precipitates, making the precipitates more uniform and dispersed. If the weight ratio is too high, it will cause waste of cost to a certain extent, and too high Ti will affect the product performance; if the weight ratio is too low, it will not play the above nitrogen fixation effect to a certain extent. Specifically, the weight ratio can be 4, 4.5, 5.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first set chemical composition comprises CaO, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2; wherein, in mass fraction,

[0059] The content of CaO is 40-46%, the content of MgO is 6-12%, the content of Al2O3 is 32-37%, and the content of SiO2 is ≤6%.

[0060] By using the basic covering agent, the secondary oxidation of the molten steel by the covering agent can be reduced, the inclusion content in the steel can be reduced, and the castability can be improved. Specifically, the content of CaO can be 40%, 42%, 44%, 46%, etc. The content of MgO can be 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, etc. The content of Al2O3 can be 32%, 35%, 37%, etc. The content of SiO2 can be 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, etc.

[0061] In some embodiments, the refining of the molten steel is followed by injecting the molten steel into a tundish and adding a basic covering agent with a set chemical composition to the molten steel in the tundish, comprising:

[0062] The refining of the molten steel is followed by injecting the molten steel into a tundish, adding a basic covering agent with a set chemical composition to the molten steel in the tundish, and controlling the superheat of the molten steel in the tundish; wherein,

[0063] The superheat of the molten steel in the tundish is 15-30°C.

[0064] The positive effect of controlling the superheat of the molten steel in the tundish to be 15-30°C is to ensure the quality of the cast slab. Specifically, the superheat of the molten steel in the tundish can be 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the casting machine pulling speed is set to be 1.0-1.2 m / min.

[0066] The positive effect of setting the casting machine pulling speed to be 1.0-1.2 m / min is that the pulling speed and the protective slag lubrication are matched. If the pulling speed is too high, the liquid slag film between the shell and the copper plate will be thinned to some extent, and the lubrication performance will be poor. If the pulling speed is too low, the slag film will be too thick, and the liquid slag will flow unevenly. Specifically, the casting machine pulling speed can be 1.0 m / min, 1.1 m / min, 1.2 m / min, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, under the condition of setting the casting machine pulling speed, the cast slab with a liquid core is pulled to a secondary cooling zone for second cooling to obtain a high-aluminum steel slab, comprising:

[0068] Under the condition of setting the casting speed, the slab with liquid core is pulled to the secondary cooling zone for air-atomizing cooling, and the process parameters of the air-atomizing cooling are controlled to obtain the high-aluminum steel slab; wherein the process parameters of the air-atomizing cooling include:

[0069] The specific water amount is 0.65-0.8 L / kg, the water amount at the outlet of the crystallizer is 0.1-0.15 M, and the water amount in the straightening zone is 0.3-0.35 M, wherein M represents the total water amount.

[0070] The specific water amount refers to the water amount used for cooling per unit weight of molten steel, and the air-atomizing cooling is performed in the fan-shaped section. The positive effect of controlling the process parameters of the air-atomizing cooling is that the peritectic high-aluminum steel has strong crack sensitivity, and the secondary cooling water is suitable for taking relatively weak cooling, and the water amount distribution in the straightening zone is controlled to avoid the third brittle zone during straightening, so as to prevent cracks from being generated during straightening in the low plasticity zone. The specific water amount can be 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.8, etc.

[0071] The application will be further described in combination with specific examples. It should be understood that the examples are only used for illustrating the application and are not used for limiting the scope of the application.
