Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steelmaking, and in particular to a method for improving the purity of molten steel at low cost based on a LF-VD production route. Background Art

[0002] At present, when LF-VD is used to produce steel in China, the VD furnace produces ordinary carbon steel by using the LF furnace excess deoxidation method to produce white slag. At the end of LF furnace refining, the aluminum content reaches 0.07% to 0.08%, exceeding the national standard range of aluminum content of steel grades of 0.02% to 0.06%. The VD furnace is high-aluminum entering the station, and no aluminum alloy is added during the deep vacuum period of the VD furnace. After the VD is broken, a part of the aluminum alloy is added according to the actual aluminum content. This process method makes the consumption of aluminum products in the whole process extremely high, and the consumption of pure aluminum per ton of steel reaches 3.5kg. In addition, if more deoxidizer is added to the VD furnace during the preparation process, more calcium aluminate will be generated in the VD furnace; if less deoxidizer is added, it needs to be added after breaking the air, which will cause the molten steel to contact with air and deteriorate the purity of the molten steel.

[0037] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for improving the purity of molten steel at low cost based on the LF-VD production route according to some embodiments of the present application;

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for improving the purity of molten steel at low cost based on the LF-VD production route, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Obtaining molten steel to be refined with a first set aluminum content to facilitate the removal and floating of inclusions in a subsequent refining process;

[0040] Heating the temperature of the molten steel to be refined, adding a deoxidizer to the heated molten steel to be refined, and controlling the aluminum content of the molten steel to be refined to obtain a refined molten steel with a second set aluminum content;

[0041] The refined molten steel is degassed and the aluminum content of the refined molten steel is controlled to obtain degassed molten steel with a third set aluminum content.

[0042] In the above-mentioned embodiment, firstly, molten steel to be refined with a first set aluminum content is obtained to facilitate the removal and floating of inclusions in the subsequent refining process; the molten steel to be refined is heated, a deoxidizer is added to the heated molten steel to be refined for refining, and the aluminum content of the molten steel to be refined is controlled to obtain refined molten steel with a second set aluminum content, thereby ensuring the purity of the refined molten steel and reducing the consumption of aluminum products; the refined molten steel is degassed, and the aluminum content of the refined molten steel is controlled to obtain degassed molten steel with a third set aluminum content, thereby ensuring that the degassed molten steel is non-oxidizing and can meet the needs of subsequent casting, while increasing the purity of the molten steel as much as possible.

[0043] The degassed molten steel prepared by the method has high purity, and its oxidizability meets the subsequent casting requirements, and the whole method greatly reduces the consumption of aluminum products.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the first set aluminum content is 0.02% to 0.05%; and / or,

[0045] The second set aluminum content is 0.025% to 0.04%; and / or,

[0046] The third set aluminum content is 0.03% to 0.04%.

[0047] In the above embodiment, molten steel to be refined is first obtained from the steelmaking process as a raw material for refining, and the first set aluminum content is required to be 0.02% to 0.05% to meet the subsequent refining requirements; illustratively, the first set aluminum content can be 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04% or 0.05%.

[0048] Then, the molten steel to be refined is sent to the LF furnace, and after the LF furnace is heated up, a deoxidizer is added for refining to remove impurities in the molten steel to obtain a refined molten steel with higher quality. At this time, the second set aluminum content in the refined molten steel is controlled to be 0.025% to 0.04%. For example, the second set aluminum content can be 0.025%, 0.030%, 0.035% or 0.04%.

[0049] Finally, the refined molten steel is sent to the VD furnace, and the pressure in the furnace is reduced so that the refined molten steel is effectively degassed in a vacuum environment, and vacuum degassing is performed to obtain degassed molten steel: the third set aluminum content in the degassed molten steel obtained is 0.03% to 0.04% to meet the subsequent casting requirements. Exemplarily, the third set aluminum content can be 0.03%, 0.035% or 0.04%.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the degassing of the refined molten steel and controlling the aluminum content of the refined molten steel to obtain degassed molten steel with a third set aluminum content specifically includes: sending the refined molten steel into a degassing device for degassing, controlling the deep vacuum time and vacuum degree of the degassing device, adding a deoxidizer before the degassing device is degassed, and controlling the aluminum content of the refined molten steel to obtain degassed molten steel with a third set aluminum content.

[0051] In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the refined molten steel is degassed, controlling the deep vacuum time and vacuum degree of the VD furnace helps to create a good atmosphere for degassing the molten steel; adding a deoxidizer before the VD furnace is broken allows the refined molten steel to be degassed for a longer time in a vacuum environment, and the oxygen content is controlled to the maximum extent. Adding a deoxidizer at this time can not only effectively reduce the consumption of aluminum products, but also improve the cleanliness and quality of the molten steel.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the VD furnace meets at least one of the following conditions: the deep vacuum time is 17 min to 18 min; the vacuum degree is less than 67 Pa.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the deep vacuum time of the VD furnace is controlled to be 17min-18min, and the vacuum degree is less than 67Pa, in order to ensure that the molten steel is fully degassed and the quality of the molten steel is ensured. Exemplarily, the deep vacuum time of the VD furnace can be 17min-18min, and the vacuum degree is less than 67Pa.

[0054] As an optional implementation, adding a deoxidizer before the degassing device is broken specifically includes: adding a deoxidizer 1 min to 3 min before the degassing device is broken.

[0055] As an optional embodiment, the amount of deoxidizer added during the degassing process satisfies the following conditions:

[0056] The second setting is that the aluminum content is <0.035%, and 60kg to 90kg of deoxidizer is added;

[0057] When the second setting aluminum content is ≥ 0.035%, 50kg to 60kg of deoxidizer is added.

[0058] In the above embodiment, classified management is performed according to the different aluminum contents in the refined molten steel, which can save aluminum costs and improve the purity of the molten steel. Exemplarily, when the aluminum content in the refined molten steel is <0.035%, 60kg, 65kg, 70kg, 75kg, 80kg, 85kg or 90kg of deoxidizer can be added to the VD furnace. When the aluminum content in the refined molten steel is ≥0.035%, 50kg, 51kg, 52kg, 53kg, 54kg, 55kg, 56kg, 57kg, 58kg, 59kg or 60kg of deoxidizer can be added.

[0059] As an optional implementation, the molten steel to be refined is heated, and a deoxidizer is added to the heated molten steel to be refined for refining, specifically comprising: heating the molten steel to be refined, and adding a deoxidizer to the molten steel to be refined after the temperature is increased for a set time for refining;

[0060] The setting time is 3 minutes to 6 minutes.

[0061] In the above embodiment, when LF furnace refining is performed, the LF furnace needs to be heated first, and no aluminum products are added in the early stage of heating and slag-forming to avoid waste of aluminum products; after heating for 3min to 6min, the deoxidizer is added after the temperature in the LF furnace meets the refining conditions. At this time, the deoxidizer can further remove impurities and deoxidize the molten steel, thereby improving the utilization rate of aluminum products.

[0062] As an optional embodiment, the amount of deoxidizer added during refining is 250kg to 320kg.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the amount of deoxidizer added during refining is controlled in order to ensure that the aluminum content of the obtained refined molten steel is within the optimal range.

[0064] As an optional embodiment, the content of iron oxide and manganese oxide in the slag produced after refining is less than 1.0%.

[0065] In the above embodiment, by controlling the contents of iron oxide and manganese oxide in the final slag of the LF furnace, it can be effectively ensured that the oxidizing property of the refined molten steel is relatively weak.

[0066] As an optional embodiment, the step of obtaining the molten steel to be refined having the first set aluminum content specifically includes:

[0067] Obtaining molten steel to be converted into a converter;

[0068] Adding a deoxidizer to the molten steel to be refined for deoxidation to obtain the molten steel with a first set aluminum content;

[0069] and / or,

[0070] The amount of the deoxidizer added is 300kg to 500kg per batch of molten steel to be used as the converter.

[0071] The reason for controlling the amount of deoxidizer added to the molten steel to be prepared in the converter to be 300kg to 500kg is that within this range, the quality of the molten steel to be refined can be guaranteed and the amount of deoxidizer used can be controlled. Exemplarily, the amount of deoxidizer added is 300kg, 320kg, 340kg, 350kg, 360kg, 380kg, 400kg, 420kg, 440kg, 450kg, 460kg, 480kg or 500kg of deoxidizer per furnace of molten steel.

[0072] As an optional embodiment, the horizontal number density of inclusions in the degassed molten steel is less than 0.55 inclusions / mm 2 .

[0073] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the method provided in the present application can effectively reduce impurities in molten steel and improve the purity of molten steel to exceed the purity requirement.

[0074] As an optional embodiment, the deoxidizer includes at least one of the following: steel grit aluminum, aluminum particles and aluminum slag balls.

[0075] In the above embodiment, all three deoxidizers can be used for deoxidation treatment of molten steel.

[0076] As an optional implementation, the deoxidizer is steel grit aluminum, and the aluminum content in the steel grit aluminum is 80%.

[0077] The present application is further described below in conjunction with specific examples. The experimental methods in the following examples where specific conditions are not specified are usually measured in accordance with national standards / industry standards; if there are no corresponding national standards / industry standards, they are measured in accordance with common international standards, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
