AI Technical Summary
When smelting ultra-high nitrogen ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni-based high-temperature alloys, the nitrogen content is easily caused by lower than the standard or the carbon content exceeding the upper limit, and the smelting cost is high, making it difficult to meet the corresponding requirements of alloy composition.
The process route of "electric furnace + AOD furnace + LF furnace + electroslag" is adopted. By controlling the composition of raw materials and the conditions of each smelting stage, including blowing nitrogen throughout the process, using aluminum wire or aluminum powder deoxidizer, calcium wire and metal cerium, combined with the specific electroslag remelting process, we ensure that the nitrogen content and carbon content in the alloy meet the standards.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of alloy smelting, and in particular to a method for smelting an ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high temperature alloy. Background Art
[0002] Ultra-high nitrogen, ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni-based superalloys offer excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, making them suitable for harsh environments such as chemical engineering and marine environments. They can even be used at high temperatures in highly oxidizing, high-concentration inorganic acid media. 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy is an ultra-high nitrogen, ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni-based superalloy. Industry standards require C ≤ 0.015%, N 0.35% to 0.60%, and Fe, Cr, and Ni content to be above 30%. The specific composition is shown in Table 1.
[0003] Table 1015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy chemical composition and mass percentage (%)
[0004]
[0005] During the smelting process of superalloys, segregation is prone to occur due to the high concentration of alloying elements. To reduce this segregation, superalloys are generally smelted using a "vacuum induction furnace + electroslag" or "vacuum induction furnace + consumable" process. However, due to the specific compositional requirements of ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni-based superalloys, vacuum induction melting has the following disadvantages: The high nitrogen content of these steels makes it very easy to extract the nitrogen when smelted in a vacuum, resulting in a nitrogen content (by mass) below 0.35%. Furthermore, due to the low carbon content of these steels, vacuum induction melting is incapable of decarburization. Furthermore, to maintain the nitrogen content, a large amount of chromium nitride must be added in the later stages of smelting. Chromium nitride contains a certain amount of carbon, which can easily cause the carbon content to exceed the upper limit required by the standard during smelting. Furthermore, smelting costs are high. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a smelting method suitable for ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni-based superalloys that meets the corresponding chemical composition and quality requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides a smelting method for an ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high-temperature alloy. The present invention adopts the process of "electric furnace + AOD furnace + LF furnace + electroslag". By limiting the chemical composition of the raw materials and the conditions of each smelting stage, the nitrogen content and carbon content in the alloy are better controlled, and an ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high-temperature alloy whose chemical composition meets industry standards is obtained, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of the high-temperature alloy.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] A smelting method for an ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high temperature alloy comprises the following steps:
[0009] S1, melting the raw materials in an electric furnace to obtain the first molten steel;
[0010] The raw materials are prepared according to the following chemical compositions by mass percentage: Cr 31.75%-34.00%, Ni 30.70%-32.00%, Mo 0.60%-1.00%, Cu 0.60%-0.90%;
[0011] S2, injecting the first molten steel into an AOD furnace for first refining, blowing oxygen until C≤0.006wt% and Si≤0.01wt%, starting nitrogen blowing throughout the process, adding aluminum and ferrosilicon for reduction reaction, and controlling [Cr]+[Mn]-[Si]≥33% to obtain a second molten steel;
[0012] Wherein, [Cr] represents the mass content of Cr element, [Mn] represents the mass content of Mn element, and [Si] represents the mass content of Si element;
[0013] S3, under a nitrogen atmosphere, injecting the second molten steel into the LF furnace for second refining, continuously adding deoxidizer for deoxidation throughout the process; adding calcium wire and metallic cerium before tapping to obtain a third molten steel;
[0014] The deoxidizer is selected from at least one of aluminum wire and aluminum powder;
[0015] S4, casting the third molten steel to obtain an electrode blank;
[0016] S5, in a protective atmosphere, electroslag remelting the electrode blank to obtain an ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high temperature alloy.
[0017] Compared to existing technologies, the smelting method for an ultra-high-nitrogen, ultra-low-carbon Fe-Cr-Ni-based superalloy provided by the present invention utilizes an "electric furnace + AOD furnace + LF furnace + electroslag" process, resolving the issue of substandard carbon and nitrogen contents during vacuum induction smelting. This method offers high market competitiveness and promotional value. By limiting the contents of Cr, Ni, Mo, and Cu in the raw material batches, the present invention effectively prevents segregation of these elements during subsequent smelting processes or composition adjustments, thereby preventing increased smelting time and carbon content exceeding the upper limit. Furthermore, by limiting the combined content of Mn, Cr, and Si (i.e., [Cr] + [Mn] - [Si]) during the first refining process, the solubility of nitrogen in molten steel is increased, thereby ensuring that the nitrogen content in the alloy meets standard requirements.
[0018] The present invention creatively performs nitrogen blowing throughout the first refining process, ensuring that the nitrogen content in the alloy is within the specified range of industry standards, which not only increases the nitrogen content in the molten steel, but also ensures that the nitrogen content does not exceed 0.60%. The present invention uses nitrogen as a protective gas in the second refining process, which can further prevent the reduction of nitrogen elements; uses aluminum wire or aluminum powder as a deoxidizer, avoids the use of silicon calcium powder, and can further prevent carbon increase; before the second refining of steel, the addition of calcium wire and metallic cerium can effectively prevent the molten steel from increasing in oxygen during the subsequent casting process, thereby ensuring that the oxygen content is qualified. Subsequent electroslag remelting is combined to produce an ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high-temperature alloy whose chemical components meet industry standards, and improves the thermal processing performance and comprehensive performance of the high-temperature alloy, effectively improving the smelting success rate of the high-temperature alloy.
[0019] Preferably, the ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high temperature alloy is a 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy, comprising the following chemical components in percentage by mass: C≤0.012%, Si≤0.50%, Mn≤2.00%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.010%, Cr 31.00%~35.00%, Ni 30.00%~33.00%, Mo 0.50%~2.00%, Cu 0.30%~1.20%, N 0.40%~0.47%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0020] Preferably, in S1, the raw materials are formulated according to the following chemical compositions in percentage by mass: Mn 0.80%-1.60%, P≤0.018%, Cr 31.75%-34.00%, Ni 30.70%-32.00%, Mo 0.60%-1.00%, and Cu 0.60%-0.90%.
[0021] When preparing the ingredients, C and Si elements can be appropriately increased to prepare for the subsequent oxygen blowing to control the temperature of the molten steel; other chemical components can be conventionally configured according to the above chemical components, and the present invention does not require them.
[0022] Further preferably, in S1, the raw materials are formulated according to the following chemical compositions in percentage by mass: Cr 32.5%, Ni 30.8%, Mo 0.80%, and Cu 0.75%.
[0023] The preferred contents of Cr, Ni, Mo and Cu in the ingredients of the present invention can further prevent the segregation of the elements and the resulting substandard products during the subsequent smelting process or composition adjustment.
[0024] Preferably, in S2, after the aluminum and ferrosilicon are added, the mass content of Si in the molten steel is 0.25% to 0.45%, and the mass content of Al is 0.015% to 0.045%.
[0025] During the first refining of the first molten steel in the AOD furnace, oxygen is first blown to oxidize the C and Si elements (the Cr content will also decrease due to oxidation) to ensure the temperature of the first refining. When C ≤ 0.006wt% and Si ≤ 0.01wt% in the molten steel, aluminum and ferrosilicon are added for a reduction reaction to return the Cr content to the set range, and nitrogen blowing is started throughout the process. At the same time, the [Cr] + [Mn] - [Si] content is controlled, which can significantly increase the solubility of nitrogen in the molten steel, thereby ensuring that the nitrogen content in the alloy meets the standard requirements.
[0026] Preferably, in S3, the total amount of the deoxidizer added is 0.5 kg / t to 1.5 kg / t.
[0027] For example, in S3, calcium wire and metallic cerium are added 3 to 5 minutes before tapping.
[0028] Preferably, in S3, the amount of calcium wire added is 2.8m / t to 3.2m / t, and the amount of metallic cerium added is 0.2kg / t to 0.3kg / t.
[0029] The present invention can further effectively prevent oxygenation in subsequent processes by limiting the added amounts of the deoxidizer, calcium wire and metal cerium.
[0030] Preferably, in S4, the casting temperature is 1470°C to 1490°C.
[0031] Preferably, in S4, the diameter of the electrode blank is 340 mm to 430 mm.
[0032] Preferably, in S5, the protective atmosphere is a nitrogen atmosphere.
[0033] Preferably, in S5, the slag system used in the electroslag remelting is CaF2, Al2O3, CaO and MgO in a mass ratio of (68~72):(19~21):(4.5~5.5):(4.5~5.5).
[0034] Further preferably, in S5, the carbon content of the slag system is ≤0.03%.
[0035] Preferably, in S5, the melting rate of the electrode blank is 4.5 kg / min to 7 kg / min.
[0036] Preferably, in S5, the diameter of the ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high temperature alloy is 480 mm to 590 mm.
[0037] The present invention can further ensure that the chemical composition and gas content of the final electroslag ingot are within a reasonable range through a specific electroslag remelting slag system and a melting rate of the electrode blank, and ensure that the corresponding inclusions can be ≤1.0 level, thereby ensuring that the ultra-high nitrogen and ultra-low carbon Fe-Cr-Ni based high temperature alloy has excellent hot working performance and comprehensive performance.

[0077] Comparative Example 1
[0078] This comparative example provides a smelting method of 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy, which adopts a vacuum induction smelting method and includes the following steps:

[0081] Because the C element exceeded the upper limit and the N element was lower than the lower limit, the chemical composition was unqualified and production was stopped.
[0082] Comparative Example 2
[0083] This comparative example provides a smelting method for a 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy, similar to Example 1, except that in S2, Cr is 31.45%, Mn is 1.04%, and Si is 0.43%, with [Cr] + [Mn] - [Si] = 32.06. The remaining conditions are the same as in Example 1 and are not further described.
[0084] The chemical composition of the third molten steel was tested and it was found that the nitrogen content was only 0.34%. The chemical composition was unqualified and production was stopped.
[0085] Comparative Example 3
[0086] This comparative example provides a smelting method for 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy, similar to Example 1, except that in S3, the aluminum wire is replaced with calcium silicate powder of equal mass. The remaining conditions are the same as in Example 1 and are not further described.
[0087] The chemical composition of the third molten steel was tested, and it was found that the content of C element gradually increased to 0.017% before steelmaking. The chemical composition was unqualified, and production was stopped.
[0088] Comparative Example 4
[0089] This comparative example provides a 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy smelting method similar to Example 1, except that in S3, only calcium wire is added, and metallic cerium is omitted. The remaining conditions are the same as in Example 1 and are not further described.
[0090] 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy consists of the following chemical components in mass percentage: C 0.010%, Si 0.30%, Mn 1.35%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.010%, Cr 32.22%, Ni 30.98%, Mo 0.81%, Cu 0.69%, N 0.43%, Al 0.02%, O≤32ppm, H≤8ppm, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0091] During the later forging process, the 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy has many cracks on its surface, which leads to a low yield and increased cost.
[0092] Comparative Example 5
[0093] This comparative example provides a 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloy smelting method, which is similar to Example 1, except that nitrogen is blown only in the first half of S2. The remaining conditions are the same as those in Example 1 and are not repeated here.
[0094] The chemical composition of the third molten steel was tested. The nitrogen content of the AOD furnace sample was 0.4%, and the nitrogen content of the LF furnace sample gradually decreased to 0.32%. The chemical composition was unqualified and production was stopped.
[0095] Performance Testing
[0096] The 015Cr33Ni32MoCuN alloys prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 4 were subjected to inclusion level testing and mechanical property testing (testing standards refer to GB / T 228.1-2021). The test results are shown in Tables 2-3. As can be seen from Tables 2-3, compared to Examples 1-3, the electroslag remelting slag system of Example 4 contains more CaO, which contains a small amount of carbon. As a result, the carbon content at the bottom of the electroslag ingot is 0.016%, which does not meet the standard requirements. This leads to a low yield and increased costs.
