Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stainless steel smelting, and more specifically, to a method for smelting free-cutting austenitic stainless steel in an AOD furnace. Background Art

[0002] Free-cutting austenitic stainless steel is widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobile, aerospace and other fields due to its good cutting performance, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The main chemical elements of this type of stainless steel are low C, high Cr, and a small amount of Ni, Mo and S elements are added. The production process of this material focuses on determining the optimal steel grade composition and accurately and stably controlling the S and Mn content of the material in alkaline electric furnace production.

[0003] The sulfur content requirement for free-cutting austenitic stainless steel is 0.20%-0.30%. The slag-forming agent lime added during steelmaking and slag-making reacts with the sulfur in the molten steel ([FeS]+(CaO)=(CaS)+[FeO]). According to metallurgical thermodynamic conditions, the higher the alkalinity, the better the desulfurization and the lower the sulfur content in the molten steel. When producing free-cutting stainless steel, the sulfur in the molten steel enters the slag, which will lead to insufficient sulfur content in the molten steel and the product being scrapped. During reduction slag-making, the slag alkalinity is controlled at 2.0-2.3. After reduction, the slag in the furnace needs to be removed. Affected by the furnace type, the slag in the furnace cannot be completely removed. Due to the residual high-alkalinity slag in the furnace, it is difficult to control the amount of lime and quartz sand added during secondary slag-making, resulting in fluctuations in alkalinity. When adding ferrosulphur to increase sulfur, if the slag alkalinity is too high, the slag desulfurization capacity is enhanced, and the sulfur in the molten steel enters the slag, resulting in insufficient sulfur content in the molten steel, resulting in product scrapping and other problems.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to study the method of reducing the slag basicity from 2.0 to 1.5 during AOD reduction slag making, and adding lime and quartz sand (main component SiO2, content of more than 98%) according to the basicity of 1.5 during secondary slag making. Since the basicity of reduction slag making and secondary slag making is the same, the weight of the residual reduction slag in the furnace will not affect the basicity of secondary slag making, thereby achieving the purpose of stably controlling the sulfur content of molten steel. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for smelting free-cutting austenitic stainless steel in an AOD furnace to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for smelting free-cutting austenitic stainless steel in an AOD furnace, comprising the following steps: S1. Preparation of AOD steel: The primary steel from the electric arc furnace and alloy furnace is added to the AOD steel through the ladle. Inside the furnace, the temperature of the molten steel after being added to the AOD furnace is 1450°C, and the composition is as follows: C, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu; S2.

Add ferrosulphide to increase the sulfur content of molten steel: After secondary slag making, the slag basicity can be stably controlled at 1.5. Add ferrosulphide (S content 45%) to increase the sulfur content of molten steel to 0.20%-0.30%. After sampling, analyze the sulfur content by spectrum. When the content meets the requirements, AOD steelmaking is performed: The AOD-steel mixture includes the following raw materials in percentage by weight: C 1.85%; Si 0.63%; Mn 0.70%; Cr 17.10%; Ni 8.20%; Cu 2.0%.

[0008] Preferably, the AOD makes reducing slag with a basicity of 1.5, and lime and quartz sand are added according to the basicity of 1.5 during secondary slag making. Since the basicity of the reducing slag is the same as that of the secondary slag making, the basicity of the slag can be stably controlled, thereby achieving the purpose of stably controlling the sulfur content of the molten steel.

[0009] Preferably, the total slag amount of the secondary slag making includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: Total slag volume 3000kg; Reduction slag residue 1500kg; Secondary slag production: 1500kg; Lime addition amount 900kg; The amount of quartz sand added is 600kg.

[0010] Preferably, in said S2, oxygen is blown for decarbonization, and the amount of lime added is calculated according to the oxygen blowing amount and alkalinity during oxygen blowing, and all of it is put into the furnace before 1 / 3 of the oxygen is blown.

[0011] Preferably, after the oxygen decarburization of S2 is completed, the metal oxides in the ferrosilicon reduction slag are added, and after stirring for 8 minutes, the slag after reduction and desulfurization in the furnace is removed. The slag is removed as cleanly as possible and the residue is controlled within 1500kg.

[0012] Preferably, during the AOD reduction slag making, the slag basicity is reduced from 2.0 to 1.5, and during the secondary slag making, lime and quartz sand (main component SiO2, content of more than 98%) are added according to the basicity of 1.5.

[0013] Preferably, in S5, the process of adjusting the composition includes: adding silica after alloying the molten steel, feeding sulfur wire after slag breaking, adjusting the S content, and then feeding Si-Ca wire according to the deoxidation condition and Si content, and then adding rare earth and Fe-B alloy.

[0014] Preferably, the slag basicity after the secondary slag making can be stably controlled at 1.5, and ferrosulfur (S content 45%) is added to increase the sulfur content of the molten steel to 0.20%-0.30%. The sulfur content is analyzed by spectroscopy after sampling, and AOD is used to tap the steel after the composition meets the requirements.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention can achieve the requirement of reducing and deoxidizing molten steel by controlling the basicity of the reducing slag to 1.5; 2. The present invention sets the basicity of the reducing slag to be the same as the basicity of the secondary slag making, thereby preventing the influence and fluctuation of the basicity of the secondary slag making caused by the residue of the reducing slag, thereby achieving the purpose of stably controlling the sulfur content of the molten steel.
