Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of steel technology, and in particular to a continuous casting method of high-carbon steel and high-carbon steel. Background Art

[0002] High carbon steel is also often called tool steel. Its carbon content is between 0.6% and 1.7%. After proper heat treatment or cold drawing hardening, it has high strength and hardness, high elastic limit and fatigue limit, and acceptable cutting performance, but poor welding performance and cold plastic deformation ability. The traditional high carbon steel production process is generally: electric arc furnace (EAF) → ladle refining (LF) / vacuum degassing (VD) → die casting → (electroslag re-furnace (ESR)) → forging or blanking → rolling. The advantages of the traditional die casting process for producing high carbon steel include the ability to manufacture parts with complex shapes, flexible processes, simple production equipment, etc., but the disadvantages are low production efficiency, which is not conducive to large-scale production and manufacturing, low yield rate for the production of plates, wires, bars, etc., and high production costs.

[0003] With the advancement of continuous casting equipment and technology, more and more high carbon steel production processes have been transformed into: EAF / oxygen top-blown converter (BOF) → LF → RH → continuous casting (CC) → rolling. The continuous casting process simplifies the high carbon steel production process, improves production efficiency, greatly increases production line capacity, and reduces production costs. However, the continuous casting process for producing high carbon steel also has production accidents and quality accidents such as continuous casting leakage and slab cracks. In particular, when the continuous casting machine uses a large ladle for long-term casting to produce high carbon steel, it is easy to have a problem of continuous casting large ladle water outlet or medium ladle water outlet interruption in the later stage of casting, resulting in a series of problems such as interruption of continuous casting machine production and subsequent high carbon steel molten steel having no destination, which brings great pressure to the production organization, increases production costs, and reduces production efficiency.

In the detailed description below, many specific details are proposed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the present application. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details.

[0023] High carbon steel continuous casting process, whether it is a billet continuous casting machine or a slab continuous casting machine, has greatly improved the production efficiency of high carbon steel smelting and reduced the cost of high carbon steel smelting. Compared with the traditional mold casting of high carbon steel liquid, the amount of molten steel used in the continuous casting machine for high carbon steel is relatively small, and the ladle capacity is larger, which prolongs the casting time of a bag of molten steel flowing through the nozzle, increases the temperature difference between the early and late stages of casting a bag of high carbon steel liquid, and increases the temperature drop before and after the high carbon steel liquid in the same ladle. This causes the temperature of the high carbon steel liquid in the ladle to approach the liquidus temperature of the molten steel in the late stage of continuous casting, making the continuous casting of high carbon steel have the risk of continuous casting interruption, and the interruption phenomenon is more common when casting with a large ladle. Some high carbon steel grades that have strict requirements on the internal quality of high carbon steel ingots and products need to be cast with low superheat in the middle ladle, which increases the probability of interruption accidents in the production of high carbon steel by the continuous casting machine.

[0024] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a continuous casting method for high carbon steel, which produces high carbon steel liquid through a converter high carbon drawing process, and by controlling the process parameters of each process, it is possible to effectively reduce the continuous casting interruption accidents caused by low temperature of high carbon steel liquid in the same furnace in the later stage of continuous casting.

[0025] [Continuous casting method of high carbon steel]

[0026] The embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a continuous casting method of high carbon steel, comprising the following steps:

[0027] S10, converter smelting: performing converter smelting on the molten steel, so that the carbon content of the molten steel at the end of the converter smelting is greater than or equal to 0.1%; adding alloy after the steel is tapped from the converter, and the amount of alloy added accounts for 30%-45% of the total amount of alloy added;

[0028] S20, LF refining: LF refining is performed on the molten steel after converter smelting. During the LF refining process, carburizer and alloy are added in batches, and the amount of alloy added each time accounts for 4%-10% of the total amount of alloy added;

Furthermore, the alloy can be prevented from solidifying into a mass at the bottom of the ladle by precisely controlling the amount of alloy added and the time of alloy addition during the converter steelmaking process; all alloys added to the high-carbon molten steel can be completely melted within the LF furnace refining time by precisely controlling the amount of alloy added and the time of alloy addition during the LF furnace refining process; the alloy added during the RH furnace refining process can be prevented from continuing to melt during the continuous casting of the molten steel from this furnace by controlling the RH furnace refining time and the molten steel outlet temperature, thereby reducing the continuous casting interruption accident caused by the low molten steel temperature in the later stage of continuous casting; the continuous casting machine can adopt a constant pulling speed to cast the high-carbon steel molten steel, thereby preventing the low pulling speed from extending the casting time of the high-carbon steel, increasing the temperature drop of the high-carbon steel molten steel, and preventing the continuous casting interruption accident caused by the excessively low temperature in the later stage of casting.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, alloy is added after steel is tapped from the converter, and the amount of alloy added accounts for 30%-45% of the total alloy added, for example, it can be 30%, 32%, 35%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, or a range consisting of any of the above values, which can be selected as 35%-40%.

[0038] In some embodiments, in the LF refining step, after the ladle containing high carbon steel liquid enters the LF refining furnace, it is immediately powered on to increase the temperature, and lime is added in batches during the heating process; the amount of lime added in each batch is ≤0.5 tons.

[0039] In some embodiments, the temperature of the high carbon steel liquid is raised to above 1500°C, optionally 1500°C-1560°C, at one time.

[0040] In some implementations, the recarburizer and alloy are added in batches according to the composition of the molten steel, the alloy added in each batch is ≤1.0 ton, and the interval time from the last batch of alloy addition to the molten steel leaving the LF refining furnace is ≥10 minutes, which can be selected as 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

[0041] In some embodiments, after adding the carburizer and the alloy to the LF refining furnace, a large amount of argon stirring is performed, and the argon flow rate is ≥600 L / min, and can be selected to be 600 L / min-1500 L / min.

[0042] In some embodiments, in the RH refining step, the high carbon steel liquid is refined in the RH refining furnace for ≥13 minutes.

[0043] In some implementations, the amount of alloy added in the RH refining furnace accounts for 0.1%-4% of the total amount of alloy added, and the time for adding the alloy in the RH refining furnace can be within the first 5 minutes of the refining process.

[0047] In some embodiments, the recarburizer may include carbon powder, for example, carbon powder with a carbon content of 95%.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application can prevent the occurrence of interruption accidents when the continuous casting machine casts high carbon steel by controlling the high carbon steel smelting production. Its main advantages are: 1. The high carbon drawing of the converter to smelt high carbon steel can reduce the use of carburizer in the subsequent smelting process, while reducing the temperature drop of the high carbon steel molten steel, shortening the smelting time, saving energy and protecting the environment, and reducing the smelting cost; 2.
