Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of steelmaking, and in particular to a production method for increasing the number of continuous casting furnaces for large square billet bearing steel by RH vacuum refining. Background Art

[0002] Bearing steel GCr15 (Al content is 0.008-0.015%) is a high-performance alloy steel, mainly used to manufacture bearing balls and rollers. It has high hardness, strength and wear resistance. Since the contact area of ​​the bearing is very small during operation and is subjected to high-speed repeated and constantly changing stress, the quality requirements for bearing steel are relatively high. The purity of steel is closely related to its durability, so the content of gas and inclusions in the steel is very strict.

[0003] However, the aluminum added during the smelting process of bearing steel GCr15 will cause the molten steel to form a high-melting-point substance Al2O3, which will adhere to the nozzle wall and form nozzle nodules, causing serious molten steel flow problems, interrupting casting and affecting smooth production. At the same time, nozzle nodules lead to problems such as an increase in the stopper coefficient and liquid level fluctuations, affecting the surface quality of the ingot.

[0004] In the existing related technologies:

[0005] For example, Chinese Patent No. 202210757816.3 discloses a smelting process for increasing the number of continuous casting furnaces for small-section bearing steel, which includes electric furnace smelting, LF refining, RH refining, and 160mm*160mm continuous casting processes. For another example, Chinese Patent No. 201710045687.4 discloses a carbon deoxidation process for SWRY11 steel, which includes the purpose of improving the purity of molten steel; in the carbon deoxidation process, the converter can appropriately increase the final carbon content, and use the carbon in the steel during the converter steelmaking process for pre-deoxidation, and the converter controls the final carbon and oxygen content. For another example, Chinese Patent No. 202011001957.X discloses an LF refining method for controlling the nitrogen content in gear steel, which includes sealing the smelting station with argon, generating a slightly positive pressure atmosphere in the smelting furnace, and transferring the molten steel to the smelting station.

[0006] In summary, none of the above-mentioned related technologies involve solutions for increasing the number of continuous casting furnaces for 240mm*240mm square bearing steel. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a production method that can increase the number of continuous casting furnaces for large square billet bearing steel GCr15 while stabilizing the quality of the castings and improving production efficiency.

[0097] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the above technical solutions of the present invention are further explained below from the perspectives of architecture and principle.

[0098] The technical scheme adopted by the present invention is: adopting converter blowing, LF refining, RH refining and 240mm*240mm square billet continuous casting process. The converter adopts the top and bottom combined blowing process, the blowing process uses the automated steelmaking model of the LOMAS flue gas analysis system, the steel tapping adopts the double-blocking of the slide plate + the double-blocking of the slag cone, the LF refining process adopts the micro-positive pressure operation (based on the slight smoke in the furnace), ensures the reducing atmosphere in the furnace, the white slag time is maintained ≥20min, reduces the secondary oxidation of the molten steel in the process, the RH high vacuum holding time is controlled at 20-25min, the molten steel is not exposed in the soft blowing process, the soft blowing time is ≥30min, the continuous casting process adopts the light pressure reduction process, the carbon-free covering agent 03 type is added to the tundish, and the SPH-C189 / VV1 protective slag is used to protect the casting throughout the whole process.

[0099] The LF refining process of the present invention adopts a micro-positive pressure operation (based on slight smoke in the furnace) to ensure a reducing atmosphere in the furnace, and the frequency of the dust removal fan is controlled at 25 Hz. A high-speed position is adopted in the early stage, and a large current is used to quickly slag and heat up.

[0100] In the LF refining process of the present invention, the timing of adding the deoxidizer is to start injecting the deoxidizer for rapid deoxidation after the predicted temperature of the molten steel is ≥1490°C, the total amount of silicon carbide is controlled at 160-200kg, 80-100kg in the early stage (10-30kg of carbon powder can be added for the overoxidation furnace), 60-80kg in the middle stage, and 20-40kg in the later stage; the amount of aluminum beans is controlled at 0-20kg, and the aluminum beans are added before starting the furnace 311.

[0101] The temperature of the start-up furnace 311 is ≥1520℃, the continuous casting furnace is ≥1510℃, the process temperature reaches above the subcontract target temperature, and low-speed heat preservation is adopted in the later stage. When sampling for the first time, the actual flow rate of argon can reach more than 300NL / min, and the pressure is ≥0.3Mpa.

[0102] A smelting process flow of RH vacuum refining to increase the number of continuous casting furnaces for large square billet bearing steel is: 170t converter-170tLF refining furnace-170tRH vacuum refining-240mm*240mm square billet continuous casting. The LF+RH double refining process can not only remove the inclusion content in the molten steel, but also control the [H] in the molten steel to be less than 1.2ppm, [O] to be less than 10ppm, greatly improving the purity and castability of the molten steel. The specific process control of each process is as follows:

[0103] Production organization and control: After the slag splashing of the first converter begins, the "Production Time Plan" will be issued in a timely manner, and each process will strictly implement the key node control requirements (LF: -5min to +1min, other processes: -3min to +3min).

[0104] The crane hoisting sequence requirements in the production process are: ②LF→RH, ①BOF→LF (LF is required to leave the station first and then enter the station), ③RH-CC, ④CC→hot repair process, ⑤hot repair process→BOF ladle car; C1 crane stroke: BOF-1#LF-(RH)-CC, C2 crane stroke: BOF-2#LF-(RH)-CC, the priority requirements in time and space are: bearing steel>ordinary steel, C2>C1. It should be noted that: LF in the present invention refers to the ladle refining furnace, which is one of the main methods of refining outside the furnace; RH refers to the vacuum circulation degassing method of molten steel, which is a method of refining; BOF refers to the oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking method, which is the abbreviation of the English name of the basic oxygen steelmaking furnace, basic oxygen furnace; CC refers to the abbreviation of continuous steel casting; C1 refers to the crane code of the workshop molten steel casting span; C2 refers to the crane code of the workshop molten steel casting span.

[0105] Ladle control: Normally use 6 ladles for turnover, and there should be no residue on the slag line, ladle wall, ladle mouth and drain port; each furnace is required to purge the air bricks, and the air permeability requirement (south / north) is ≥20Nm 3 / h; the ladle temperature and ladle condition information are transmitted to the converter, LF refining furnace and RH process furnace.

[0106] Converter process: select D and E type molten iron (D type molten iron refers to conventional elements / %: C ≥ 3.50, Si: 0.10-0.60, Mn ≤ 1.00, S, P ≤ 0.150, residual elements / %: Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo ≤ 0.05, As, Pb ≤ 0.005, Sn, Sb ≤ 0.003; E type molten iron refers to conventional elements / %: C ≥ 3.50, Si: 0.10-0.60, Mn ≤ 1.00, S ≤ 0.150, P ≤ 0.140, residual elements / %: Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo ≤ 0.03, As ≤ 0.008, Pb ≤ 0.010, Sn ≤ 0.007, Sb ≤ 0.010).

[0107] The converter adopts the automated steelmaking model of the LOMAS flue gas analysis system, which consists of a static model and a dynamic model. The principles of the static model and the dynamic model: When the system receives the blowing start signal, the static control model searches for the best raw material ratio based on the raw material conditions, and determines the blowing method based on the actual ingredients. First, the model data is collected, which includes but is not limited to the chemical composition and gas composition content, such as molten iron composition and flue gas composition. The collected endpoint temperature and carbon composition are divided into a training set and a validation set. The selected model is trained using the training set; during the production process, the characteristic data of the endpoint temperature and carbon composition are obtained in real time and input into the model, and the model will output the best blowing method based on these data. During the blowing process, the first stage automatically adds materials and supplies oxygen according to the static model setting values, and calculates the endpoint molten steel temperature based on the molten iron composition, temperature, and slag information.

[0108] The dynamic model consists of furnace gas carbon determination, temperature prediction, and splash prediction modules. The dynamic control model mainly collects and analyzes the furnace gas composition escaping from the converter mouth through the sampling system and mass spectrometer after the carbon-oxygen reaction in the furnace tends to equilibrium 2 minutes after the last smelting. The decarburization rate is calculated based on the change in the furnace gas composition, and the operator is provided with the change in carbon content in the steel 2 minutes before the end of the blowing. The model determines the blowing end point based on the end point carbon and temperature calculated by the dynamic model and the converter flue gas change curve, and divides the collected temperature and carbon composition into training set and validation set. The selected machine learning model is trained using the training set, and the end point carbon and temperature are calculated using the linear regression method. If there is a linear relationship between temperature and carbon content, linear regression is a simple and effective method. A model can be established through linear regression: Y=AX1+BX2+CX3+DX4, where Y represents carbon; Xi represents the temperature parameter (%), i represents one of 1, 2, 3, 4; A, B, C and D all represent the corrected dimensionless quantity of temperature; when A=0.04%, B=0.12%, C=D=0, and X1=0.12, X2=0.5, Y=0.0648% is obtained.

[0109] When the static model calculates that the carbon content of molten steel reaches 0.18%, the dynamic model can be activated by referring to the flue gas analysis trend of the LOMAS system. The dynamic model uses the flue gas analysis results of the LOMAS system for calculation. When the calculation results enter the preset target carbon and temperature range, the model will make timely judgments based on the results and send out a signal to stop blowing, which plays a good guiding role in improving the carbon content of the converter end point, reducing the original oxygen content of the molten steel, and reducing the generation of inclusions.

[0110] The final slag basicity is controlled at 2.8-3.2, which is conducive to the early removal of harmful elements such as P; the converter tapping temperature is controlled at >1620℃, and the double slag blocks of the slide plate + slag block cone are used to achieve zero slag discharge in the converter, reduce aluminum loss, and effectively improve the purity of molten steel.

[0111] Various alloys are added through high-level silos, and aluminum cakes are manually added during the steel-making process. Since aluminum cakes are light, they easily float on the slag layer and only react with the slag, but cannot remove oxygen from the molten steel. Aluminum wire is directly fed into the molten steel, and the slag surface is not fully deoxidized. The slag on the surface of the molten steel reacts with AL to produce a large amount of Al2O3 inclusions, which causes the purity of the molten steel to deteriorate. Therefore, the converter of the present invention uses large aluminum blocks for deoxidation. The size and weight of the large aluminum blocks are relatively large. If the size is too large, the alloy hole of the converter cannot be added. If the size is too small, it is easy to be washed to the slag surface by the steel flow. In order to obtain a suitable size, aluminum blocks of different specifications are purchased for experimental verification. Through data comparison, it is determined to purchase large aluminum blocks with AL%>99.5, length 30×width 25×thickness 10, and a weight of about 20±0.2Kg). After the slag enters the molten steel, both the slag and the molten steel can be fully deoxidized, and the recovery rate is also significantly higher than that of the aluminum cake. At the same time, the large aluminum blocks are selected to be added in the steel tapping process instead of in the LF, in order to ensure that large particle inclusions can fully float up and effectively improve the purity of the molten steel.

[0112] LF refining process: The power supply of LF refining ensures the reducing atmosphere in the furnace throughout the whole process. Using artificial intelligence linear regression algorithm, the furnace pressure, temperature and composition of the refining process are collected every 30 seconds. The model parameters are optimized according to the data such as the outlet temperature, composition, and alloy addition amount, so that the deviation between the model calculation result and the actual result is controlled within a certain range, and a usable model is obtained. During the use of the model, the calculated value is adjusted according to the model calculation result. The calculation formula is LLG = (LyCyt1-LyC40t40) / (C120t120-C40t40), where LLG is the flue gas volume of the furnace cover, and the temperature is 120°C; Ly is the original flue gas volume (m 3 / h), the temperature is 1650℃; when CY, C120, C40 are 1650, 120 and 40℃ respectively, the constant pressure volumetric specific heat of flue gas [kJ / (m 3 .℃)], which can be calculated according to the formula CY=1.295+0.00112t, are 1.4798, 1.3084 and 1.2995 respectively; t1, t120 and t40 are the original flue gas, furnace cover flue gas and workshop ambient temperature respectively, and their values ​​can be taken as 1650℃, 120℃ and 40℃ respectively, which automatically optimizes the micro-positive pressure control accuracy, can ensure the micro-positive pressure atmosphere in the furnace, prevent the secondary oxidation of molten steel, and improve the purity of molten steel.

[0113] In the early stage of refining (3-11min), high-grade position (voltage 401-430V) and large current (current 44870A) are used to quickly heat up and electrify the slag. When the temperature of the molten steel is expected to be ≥1490℃, the deoxidizer is injected for rapid slag surface deoxidation. The total amount of silicon carbide is controlled at 160-200kg, 80-100kg is added in the early stage (10-30kg carbon powder can be added for the overoxidation furnace), 60-80kg is added in the middle stage, and 20-40kg is added in the later stage; the amount of aluminum beans is controlled at 0-20kg, and aluminum beans are added before the first sampling to achieve the purpose of quickly making white slag; when the first Al is ≥0.020%, the aluminum composition shall not be adjusted, and the aluminum shall be adjusted to the right position at one time according to the second sampling composition, and the aluminum composition shall not be adjusted at the later stage; when the first Al is <0.020%, aluminum is supplemented to 0.030% at one time according to the aluminum composition, and the furnace is adjusted to 0.035% when the machine is started.

[0114] The whole process adopts the bottom blowing argon system, and the argon control is divided into 6 modes: side blowing, strong blowing, strong stirring, power on, weak blowing, and soft blowing. After the molten steel enters the station, connect the argon pipe, click the side blowing (straight pipeline gas), blow through the permeable brick, and the argon flow rate is 1500NL / min at this time to blow open the molten steel slag surface; after the slag surface is blown open, in the early stage of refining (3-8min), adjust the argon to the power-on mode, and the argon flow rate in the power-on mode is controlled at 200-400NL / min. The main purpose is to ensure the smooth slag temperature rise during the power transmission process and ensure heat transfer; during the refining process (9-12min), adjust the argon to the strong blowing mode, and the argon flow rate in the strong blowing mode is 800-1000NL / min. The main purpose is to desulfurize through slag washing. After refining sampling (13- 15min) is adjusted to strong stirring mode, and the argon flow rate in strong stirring mode is 400-600NL / min, which is mainly for uniform temperature of molten steel composition and rapid deoxidation when adding alloy; after the composition temperature is uniform, the argon is adjusted to weak blowing mode, and the argon flow rate is 80-150NL / min. The molten steel is left to stand for a waiting time, and the white slag time is ensured to be ≥20min. The main purpose is to promote the collision of inclusions and promote the floating of molten steel inclusions; after the molten steel refining is completed, the argon is adjusted to soft blowing mode, and the argon flow rate is 30-100NL / min. The standard is that the molten steel does not leak, the slag surface fluctuates slightly, and the molten steel inclusions are fully floated.

[0115] After LF refining treatment, the final slag targets are: CaO: 53-58%, SiO2: 9-12%, AL2O3: 25-30%.

[0116] RH vacuum process: Before the production of bearing steel, the vacuum tank must not be cold-started. (The tank must be cleaned after the vacuum tank is cold or the baking time exceeds 4 hours) The steel type for washing the tank should be aluminum-killed steel, the temperature of the steel water for washing the tank should not be less than 1610℃, and the high vacuum holding time during the washing process should be ≥5min.

[0117] Strictly control the high vacuum holding time, which is controlled within 20-25 minutes; the high vacuum process circulation gas flow is controlled within 100-130m 3 / h.

[0118] During the soft blowing process, the argon blowing intensity is strictly controlled, the slag surface is completely covered with insulation, the slag surface is fluctuating, and the molten steel does not turn red.

[0119] The immersed pipe is not repaired by gunning. If it is repaired by gunning, it needs to be baked with a top gun for more than 10 minutes.

[0120] After RH high vacuum treatment, the molten steel [H] is guaranteed to be less than 1.2ppm and [O] is less than 10ppm.

[0121] Continuous casting process: The continuous casting process adopts invasive open pouring with full-process protection pouring, and long nozzle and argon seal protection pouring are used from the continuous casting ladle (molten steel ladle) to the tundish.

[0122] Before starting the machine, manually test the argon gas and check whether the pipeline is leaking, gas blowby, or blocked. The argon sealing tube is not damaged. After putting on the sealing ring, put the palm of your hand on the bowl of the long water outlet. Under the conventional process argon flow rate, you can clearly feel the gas atmosphere. The long water outlet argon sealing flow rate is set at 100L / min.

[0123] Before starting the machine, check and confirm that the shroud is free of damage or bumps. The shroud that is obviously damaged or bumped must not be used. The shroud must be used with a sealing ring. The large package of shrouds should be replaced every 5 furnaces.

[0124] After the long shroud is put on and confirmed to be vertical, lock the manipulator, visually position the long shroud of the large ladle about 10cm away from the liquid surface of the middle ladle to command the large ladle to start pouring. During the pouring process, the slide plate is opened by jogging, and the large ladle is lowered into place immediately after the pouring is normal. This is conducive to shortening the oxidation time of molten steel when pouring and reducing secondary oxidation of molten steel.

[0125] During the pouring process, observe whether the long nozzle is vertical. When transferring the goods, the residue and residual steel in the bowl of the long nozzle need to be cleaned. After the bowl is cleaned, the residual steel slag at the bottom of the nozzle also needs to be cleaned to avoid direct insertion into the molten steel and affecting the purity of the molten steel.

[0126] When the tonnage of the middle ladle reaches 20-25 tons, add 500kg of carbon-free covering agent 03 at one time to fully cover the molten steel. During the process, add an appropriate amount of carbonized rice husk according to the redness of the liquid surface in the middle ladle. It is best if the liquid surface moves slightly and does not turn red.

[0127] During the pouring process, the temperature is controlled at 20-30℃. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the first furnace is manually measured 2-3 times and then adjusted to the normal casting speed of 1.10m / min. Cast the furnaces continuously to avoid manual temperature measurement to prevent secondary oxidation of the molten steel surface due to too many temperature measurements.

[0128] The chemical composition and mass percentage of the continuous casting billet are:

[0129] C: 0.96-1.01%, Si: 0.18-0.28%, Mn: 0.28-0.38%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.010%, Cr: 1. 41-1.50%, AL: 0.008-0.015%, Ti≤0.0030%, Mo≤0.05%, Ni≤0.10%, Ca≤0.0010%.
