Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Converter blowing oxygen is a main means for removing impurity elements, and at the end of smelting, the content of impurity elements in the molten steel is reduced to trace amount, but a large amount of free oxygen exists in the molten steel. Oxygen has great harm to the quality of steel, and needs to be treated by deoxidization, and common deoxidizers include Al, Si, Mn and the like, but the deoxidization products cannot be completely removed and are left in the molten steel, which will have adverse effects on the product quality.
[0003] Carbon, as a clean deoxidizer, can react with free oxygen in the steel to generate CO at high temperature, and is separated from the molten steel system, and will not cause impact on the cleanliness of the molten steel. However, due to the factors of reaction kinetics and thermodynamics, the deoxidization speed and deoxidization limit of carbon are less than those of Al, Si, Mn and the like. Many studies show that vacuum condition is helpful to improve the deoxidization capacity of carbon, and when the vacuum degree is low enough, the deoxidization capacity of carbon is even stronger than that of Al, Si, Mn and the like. However, vacuum treatment needs a specific reactor, such as a VD furnace, an RH furnace and the like, and the operation cost is also relatively high. SUMMARY

[0087] Comparative Example 1
[0088] This comparative example is the application of a clean deoxidation process based on ACD technology in the production of 55 steel. The 100 t top and bottom combined blown converter is used for smelting, and the tapping amount is 85.5 t, including the following steps:
[0089] S1. The oxygen content of the molten steel is determined at the end of the converter smelting, and the free oxygen content is 456 ppm;
[0090] S2. Converter tapping, after the end of oxygen determination, the amount of carbon powder added is calculated as 255 kg, and 255 kg of carbon powder is added in three batches in three stages, and the amount of each stage is 75 kg, 75 kg and 105 kg. When the tapping amount reaches 3 / 4, 290 kg of lime and 360 kg of synthetic slag are added through the bin, and after the tapping is completed, the ladle car is opened away from the tapping position and enters the LF position.
[0091] S3. Bottom blowing argon deoxidation, after the ladle enters the LF position, further deoxidation is carried out by bottom blowing argon, and the bottom blowing flow is gradually increased. After 10 min of bottom blowing, the bottom blowing flow is adjusted to 400 L / min. During the bottom blowing process, the temperature is measured and the electrode heating method is used to ensure that the temperature of the molten steel meets the requirements.
[0092] S4. Refining slag modification and diffusion deoxidation, 100 kg of carbide, 75 kg of silicon carbide and 40 kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface after 75 min of bottom blowing.
[0093] S5. Alloying, after the modification of the refining slag is completed, 567 kg of silicon manganese is added to the molten steel through the alloy bin. In order to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel, 55 m of calcium wire is fed.
[0094] S6. After the wire feeding, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing, and the soft blowing time is 15 min. After the soft blowing is completed, the on-site sampling and automatic scanning of inclusions are carried out.
[0095] In this comparative example, the bottom blowing argon deoxidation stage takes too long due to insufficient bottom blowing flow, reaching 75 min, which slows down the smelting rhythm. In addition, the Al consumption and the reduction effect of the number of inclusions are not as good as the above-mentioned examples. The use of Al is reduced by about 50% compared with the traditional process, and the number of inclusions in the molten steel before LF ladle is reduced by 19%.
[0096] Comparative Example 2
[0097] The present comparative example is an application of a clean deoxidization process based on ACD technology in 45 steel production, using a 100 t top and bottom combined blowing converter with a tapping capacity of 86.7 t, including the following steps:
[0098] S1. After the end of the converter smelting, the oxygen content of the molten steel is determined by an oxygen analyzer, and the free oxygen content is 462 ppm;
[0099] S2. Converter tapping, after the end of oxygen determination, the carbon powder addition amount is calculated as 257 kg. After the start of converter tapping, the carbon powder is uniformly added to the ladle. When the tapping amount reaches 3 / 4, 300 kg of lime and 350 kg of fine combined slag are added through the bin, and after the end of tapping, the ladle car is opened away from the tapping position and enters the LF position.
[0100] S3. Bottom argon blowing deoxidization, the bottom blowing flow rate is always maintained at a hard blowing level (700 L / min) from the start of converter tapping.
[0101] S4. Refining slag modification and diffusion deoxidization, 100 kg of calcium carbide, 75 kg of silicon carbide and 30 kg of aluminum particles are added to the slag surface after 55 min of bottom blowing to form reducing white slag.
[0102] S5. After the formation of white slag, 568 kg of silicon manganese is added to the molten steel through the alloy bin. After the composition of the molten steel meets the requirements, 60 m of calcium wire is fed to ensure the smooth casting of the molten steel.
[0103] S6. Soft blowing, after the wire feeding, the ladle is transferred to the soft blowing area for soft blowing (100 L / min), and the soft blowing time is 10 min.
[0104] In this comparative example, after the end of oxygen determination, the carbon powder addition strategy is not adjusted according to the oxygen value, resulting in excessive carbon powder addition in the early stage under high oxygen molten steel conditions, and the steel liquid in the ladle is boiling, and the molten steel droplets splash seriously, which is not conducive to safe production.
[0105] In the present application, aluminum deoxidization is not used during tapping, and preliminary deoxidization is completed by carbon after the converter, and final deoxidization is carried out by bottom argon blowing and reducing slag formation after the ladle enters the LF refining furnace. This process can effectively reduce or eliminate the consumption of deoxidizing alloy, improve the cleanliness of the molten steel, and has good metallurgical effect.
[0106] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.

The clean deoxygenation process based on ACD technology according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step S4, bottom blowing is performed for 45-55 minutes, after which a modifier is added to the ladle to reduce the oxidizing properties of the refining slag and create reducing white slag. The modifier is calcium carbide + silicon carbide + aluminum particles.
7. The clean deoxygenation process based on ACD technology according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step S5, after the refining slag is converted into reducing white slag, it is alloyed through an alloy silo; after alloying, it is selected whether to perform calcium treatment according to the steel grade requirements.
8. The clean deoxygenation process based on ACD technology according to claim 1, characterized in that, In step S6, after alloying, the ladle needs to undergo a soft blowing operation for at least 10 minutes before being hoisted to the continuous casting station.
