Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ladle argon blowing, and in particular relates to a ladle argon blowing model prediction control method, system, industrial control computer and readable storage medium based on numerical simulation. Background Art
[0002] Argon blowing in ladle is a simple refining method for degassing molten steel and removing non-metallic inclusions. This method has simple process, cheap equipment and remarkable refining effect. According to the structure of the molten steel at room temperature (such as austenite, ferrite, etc.) and the purpose of treatment, the gas blown into the molten steel can be argon, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, air, or nitrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, air, and then argon. There are two main ways to blow argon in the ladle: top blowing argon and bottom blowing argon. Bottom blowing argon is to install gas supply components (permeable bricks, thin metal tube gas supply bricks) at the bottom of the ladle, and argon is blown into the molten steel through the bottom permeable bricks to form a large number of fine argon bubbles. The advantages of this method are uniform molten steel temperature, composition and good removal of inclusions, simple equipment, flexible and convenient operation, no need to occupy a fixed place, and argon blowing can be carried out during the whole process of steel tapping and LF treatment. The bottom argon blowing method can also be combined with other related methods to form a new refining method outside the furnace, such as VD, CAS-OB, etc. The disadvantage is that the air bricks are easily blocked, which affects the molten steel processing and is not synchronized with the life of the ladle. Top argon blowing is to insert an argon blowing gun from the top of the ladle to the center of the ladle to blow argon. The center of the argon blowing gun is a steel pipe that passes argon gas, and the outer layer is a refractory material of a certain thickness. This method requires the setting of a corresponding top blowing valve station, and powder can be sprayed for desulfurization at the same time as argon blowing, but the argon blowing effect is not as good as the bottom argon blowing effect.
[0003] Argon is an inert gas. The argon gas blown into the molten steel neither participates in chemical reactions nor dissolves. Pure argon contains very little hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. It can be considered that the argon bubble blown into the molten steel is like a small vacuum chamber for the gas dissolved in the molten steel. The partial pressure of other gases in this small bubble is almost equal to zero. According to Sieverts' law, at a certain temperature, the solubility of a gas is proportional to the square root of the partial pressure of the gas in the gas phase. The gas in the steel continuously diffuses into the argon bubble, and the partial pressure in the bubble increases, but the bubble is heated and expanded during the floating process, so the partial pressure of nitrogen and hydrogen remains at a low level, continues to absorb hydrogen and nitrogen, and finally escapes from the molten steel with the argon bubble and is removed. If the molten steel is not completely deoxidized, when there is a considerable amount of dissolved oxygen in the molten steel, then blowing argon can also remove the dissolved oxygen in part of the steel, playing the role of deoxidation and decarburization. If active slags such as lime and fluorite (CaO, CaF2) are added, and argon is blown into the argon bubble at a high speed to intensify the slag-steel reaction, a significant desulfurization effect can also be achieved.
[0004] At present, the factors that affect the effect of ladle argon blowing are mainly argon blowing process parameters, including argon consumption, argon blowing pressure, argon flow rate, argon blowing time and argon bubble size. At the same time, the degree of deoxidation of molten steel also has a great influence on the effect of ladle argon blowing. How to determine the optimal bottom blowing flow rate through furnace parameter analysis, numerical simulation analysis, and comparative analysis to meet the needs of ladle production process is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The ladle argon blowing model prediction and control method based on numerical simulation provided by the present invention is mainly for effectively predicting and controlling the ladle argon blowing.
[0021] It should be noted that the main functions of ladle argon blowing are: (1) Using argon bubbles to wash molten steel can reduce the hydrogen and nitrogen content in the steel, and can further reduce the oxygen content in the steel.
[0022] (2) Utilize the stirring effect of argon gas to remove slag and inclusions, make the composition and temperature of the molten steel uniform, reduce segregation, and increase the yield of deoxidizer and alloy materials.
[0023] (3) Utilizing the protective effect of argon gas, the secondary oxidation of molten steel can be further avoided or reduced.
[0024] Ladle argon blowing involves the gas-liquid two-phase flow behavior of molten steel and argon in the ladle. The number, type, arrangement and gas flow rate of the ladle bottom blowing nozzles have an important impact on the flow field and mixing efficiency in the ladle. Seeking a reasonable argon blowing mode and revealing the law of gas-liquid two-phase flow behavior in the ladle can increase the reaction rate in the ladle and ensure stable working conditions.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figure is a flow chart of a ladle argon blowing model prediction and control method based on numerical simulation in a specific embodiment, the method comprising: S101: Establish a historical database based on the ladle argon blowing information of the current heat and historical heats, classify the information in the historical database according to preset conditions, and then combine the classified information to form a ladle argon blowing information group.
[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, data collection and classification are performed on ladle operating conditions. Ladle argon blowing information includes ladle molten steel weight, slag-removing agent weight, molten steel temperature, endpoint oxidizability (oxygen content), deoxidizer addition amount, ladle bottom blowing air brick permeability, etc., and data collection is performed to obtain a raw data history database of each heat.
[0034] The classification method is based on the weight of molten steel in the ladle, the weight of slag-removing agent, the temperature of molten steel, the end point oxidizability, the amount of deoxidizer added, and the air permeability of the bottom blowing air brick of the ladle. The classification can be carried out according to the principle of correlation and similarity of the argon blowing information of the ladle. For example, correlation can be understood as collecting and storing the relevant information of the molten steel weight in the ladle as a category in the original data history database. The relevant information of the molten steel temperature is collected as a category and stored in the original data history database.
[0035] The classification type can also be set based on the weight of molten steel in the ladle, the weight of slag-removing agent, the temperature of molten steel, the end point oxidation property, the amount of deoxidizer added, and the permeability of the ladle bottom blowing air bricks.
[0036] S102: Simulate and analyze each set of ladle argon blowing information groups to obtain the optimal flow field in each time period when the molten steel in the ladle is flowing in a gas-liquid circulation under the action of argon blowing gas, and match it to the bottom blowing flow rates of the two branches of the ladle.
[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, a simulation analysis is performed for each new combination type. Here, solidworks software can be used to establish a ladle model during argon blowing treatment, and Fluent finite element simulation analysis software can be used to simulate the argon blowing treatment process, and the velocity vector diagram of the gas-liquid circulation flow of molten steel in the ladle under the action of argon blowing gas under various conditions can be analyzed.
[0038] Fluent finite element simulation analysis software can be used to compare and analyze the bottom blowing flow rate corresponding to the optimal flow field in each time period for various molten steel weights and bottom blowing gas flow rates. Thus, the bottom blowing flow rates of the two branches of the ladle corresponding to the optimal flow field in each time period when the molten steel in the ladle is flowing in a gas-liquid cycle under the action of argon gas can be obtained under various combinations.
[0039] S103: Simulate the flow of two air-permeable bricks and their optimal flow field corresponding to the bottom blowing flow of two branches of the ladle, and form a secondary database of the bottom blowing flow of the two branches based on the argon blowing time axis.
[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, two air bricks are simulated with different flow rates. Here, the flow fields of two air bricks with different flow rates are simulated to solve the abnormal conditions such as blockage and poor ventilation of bottom-blown air bricks in actual production, and the optimal flow field under the condition of inconsistent ventilation effects of the two air bricks is analyzed and found, as well as the corresponding secondary database of different flow rates.
[0041] It should be noted that the secondary database can be configured based on the flow rates of the two bottom blowing branches on the argon blowing time axis of the optimal flow field under various conditions.
[0042] S104: When the pressure or flow of a branch of the ladle is detected to be abnormal, the optimal flow field and the optimal flow matching value of the corresponding two branches under different flow conditions are found in the secondary database, and the flow of the other branch is increased to compensate.
[0043] In this embodiment, the flow rates of the two branches have a mutual compensation function. For example, when the pressure and flow sensors in the two branches detect that the pressure and flow are abnormal, it means that one of the branches is blocked or poorly ventilated. At this time, the other branch will automatically increase the flow rate to compensate, and find the optimal flow field and the optimal flow matching value F under different flow conditions of the corresponding two branches in the secondary database.

[0044] S105: Based on the actual conditions of this furnace, the bottom blowing flow values of the two air-permeable bricks corresponding to the optimal flow fields of argon blowing in each time period simulated and recommended are found in the secondary database, and then through dynamic correction, the two-branch flow control curves of ladle argon blowing on the time axis under the optimal flow field of this furnace are obtained to realize the prediction and control of ladle argon blowing.
[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, combined with the actual conditions of the ladle argon blowing furnace, including the weight of molten steel, the weight of slag-removing agent, the temperature of molten steel, the final oxidation property (FeO content), the amount of deoxidizer added, and the actual pressure of the argon blowing branch pipes of the two ladle bottom blowing air bricks, the bottom blowing flow rate values F of the two air bricks corresponding to the optimal flow fields of each time period of argon blowing simulated and recommended are found in the secondary database.
