Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of alloys, and in particular to a vanadium-nitrogen steel and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In traditional technology, nitrogen is often introduced into vanadium steel to increase the precipitation strengthening effect of vanadium. Since vanadium preferentially combines with nitrogen, most of it is precipitated in the form of V(CN), which doubles the number of V(CN) precipitation phases, thereby achieving the effect of fine grain strengthening and other effects, thereby improving the performance of steel. Therefore, it is an important way to improve the strength of vanadium steel to change the distribution state of vanadium by adding nitrogen and make full use of the precipitation strengthening effect of vanadium to improve the strength of vanadium steel.

[0003] However, traditional steel production methods encounter many bottlenecks in controlling nitrogen content. On the one hand, the existing nitrogen control methods are relatively single and backward, lacking precise and effective diversified technical support; on the other hand, due to factors such as equipment and process, the overall nitrogen control capacity is very limited. The double dilemma directly leads to the difficulty of stabilizing the nitrogen content in the ideal range during the production of rebar vanadium nitrogen steel. What is more troublesome is that scrap steel, as an important steelmaking raw material, will continuously release the nitrogen element it carries into the molten steel during the smelting process, further aggravating the complexity and difficulty of nitrogen content control, causing the performance of rebar to fluctuate frequently and significantly, and the mechanical quality of the product is greatly reduced, which has become an industry problem that needs to be overcome urgently.

[0004] Therefore, the traditional technology still needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the present application provides a vanadium-nitrogen steel and a preparation method thereof, which accurately increases the nitrogen content, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the vanadium-nitrogen steel.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is as follows.

[0007] In a first aspect of the present application, a method for preparing vanadium-nitrogen steel is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0008] The molten iron and the first part of the scrap steel are subjected to converter smelting to produce molten steel, and during the converter smelting process, nitrogen is continuously supplied from the bottom of the converter;

[0009] During the steel tapping process, vanadium-nitrogen alloy is added to the molten steel, and then the molten steel is placed in a refining furnace, and subjected to heating and melting treatment and refining treatment in sequence to prepare refined molten steel; during the refining treatment, nitrogen is passed from the bottom of the refining furnace;

[0010] The refined molten steel is made into vanadium-nitrogen steel.

[0011] In the above preparation method, it is creatively proposed to combine the nitrogen blowing mode throughout the converter smelting process with the addition of vanadium-nitrogen alloy refining, and to blow nitrogen from the bottom during the refining process, so that the nitrogen element will be continuously released during the entire smelting and refining process. The synergistic effect can achieve the effect of accurately increasing the nitrogen content, thereby comprehensively improving the mechanical strength performance of the steel.

[0012] In some of the embodiments, in the step of maintaining the nitrogen gas flowing from the bottom of the converter, the flow rate of the nitrogen gas is 300 L / min to 350 L / min.

[0013] The flow rate of nitrogen can be controlled to further improve the stability of the released nitrogen.

[0014] In some of the embodiments, based on the mass of molten steel before tapping, the addition amount of the vanadium-nitrogen alloy is 1 kg / t to 2 kg / t.

[0015] The addition amount of vanadium-nitrogen alloy is controlled to further supplement the appropriate amount of nitrogen element.

[0016] In some of the embodiments, in the step of passing nitrogen from the bottom of the refining furnace, nitrogen is blown into the bottom pipe of the refining furnace at a pressure of ≥1.2 MPa for a blowing time of 0.1 min to 15 min.

[0017] In some of the embodiments, during the temperature rising and melting treatment, a vanadium-nitrogen alloy is added, and based on the mass of the second part of scrap steel and the total mass of the molten steel formed before the temperature rising and melting treatment step, the amount of the vanadium-nitrogen alloy added is 1kg / t to 2.5kg / t.

[0018] "Based on the total mass of the molten steel formed before the step of heating and melting treatment" means the total mass of the molten steel existing in the refining furnace before the step of heating and melting treatment, including the molten steel before tapping, the vanadium-nitrogen alloy added during the tapping process, etc.

[0019] In some of the embodiments, after the step of adding the vanadium-nitrogen alloy and before the step of heating and melting treatment, a second portion of scrap steel is added, and the theoretical maximum volume ratio of the second portion of scrap steel to the ladle of the refining furnace is (0-25):105.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first portion of scrap steel and the second portion of scrap steel are independently selected from at least one of briquetted scrap steel, loose scrap steel, and threaded steel bar grains.

[0021] In some of the embodiments, the nitrogen content in the refined molten steel is 0.01% to 0.019% by mass.

[0022] In some of the embodiments, the vanadium-nitrogen alloy contains 75% vanadium and 16% nitrogen by mass.

[0023] In a second aspect of the present application, a vanadium-nitrogen steel is provided, which is prepared by the method for preparing the vanadium-nitrogen steel as described above.

[0024] The vanadium-nitrogen steel prepared by the above method has excellent and stable mechanical properties. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0031] As mentioned in the background technology, traditional steel production methods encounter many bottlenecks in nitrogen content control. Single nitrogen control technology is still the mainstream, but the stability is insufficient. After a lot of actual production research, researchers creatively proposed to combine the nitrogen blowing mode of converter smelting throughout the process and add vanadium nitrogen alloy refining, so that nitrogen elements will be continuously released during the entire smelting and refining process, and the synergistic effect can achieve the effect of precise nitrogen control, thereby comprehensively improving the strength index of steel.

[0032] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing vanadium-nitrogen steel, comprising the following steps S10 to S30.

[0033] S10: The molten iron and the first part of scrap steel are subjected to converter smelting to produce molten steel. During the converter smelting process, nitrogen is continuously supplied from the bottom of the converter.

[0034] In some of the embodiments, in the step of maintaining the nitrogen gas flowing from the bottom of the converter, the flow rate of the nitrogen gas is 300 L / min to 350 L / min.

[0035] The flow rate of nitrogen can be controlled to further improve the stability of the released nitrogen.

[0036] In some of the embodiments, during the converter smelting step, oxygen is introduced from the top of the converter.

[0037] The function of oxygen is to react with the carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur and other elements in the molten iron to reduce these five impurities that are harmful to the composition of the molten steel, and use the chemical heat released during the oxidation reaction and the physical heat of the molten iron as heat sources.

[0038] S20: During the steel tapping process, vanadium-nitrogen alloy is added to the molten steel and then placed in a refining furnace to perform heating and melting treatment and refining treatment in sequence to prepare refined molten steel; during the refining treatment, nitrogen is passed from the bottom of the refining furnace.

[0039] S30: Make refined molten steel into vanadium nitrogen steel.

[0040] In the above preparation method, it is creatively proposed to combine the nitrogen blowing mode throughout the converter smelting process with the addition of vanadium-nitrogen alloy refining, and nitrogen is also blown into the bottom during the refining process, so that the nitrogen element will be continuously released during the entire smelting and refining process. The synergistic effect can achieve the effect of accurately increasing the nitrogen content, thereby comprehensively improving the mechanical strength performance of the steel.

[0041] In some of the embodiments, in the step of adding vanadium-nitrogen alloy to molten steel, the amount of vanadium-nitrogen alloy added is 1kg / t to 2kg / t based on the mass of molten steel before tapping.

[0042] The addition amount of vanadium-nitrogen alloy is controlled to further supplement the appropriate amount of nitrogen element.

[0043] In some of the embodiments, during the tapping process of molten steel smelted in a converter, silicon-manganese alloy is added to the molten steel, and the amount of silicon-manganese alloy added is 9.5kg / t to 10kg / t based on the mass of the molten steel before tapping.

[0044] Silicon-manganese alloy can promote alloying. Manganese and silicon in silicon-manganese alloy have a strong affinity with oxygen and can produce deoxidized products with lower melting points, such as MnSiO3 and Mn 2 SiO 4 These products easily float up and are discharged from the molten steel, thereby achieving a good deoxidation effect, and at the same time as an additive can improve corrosion resistance.

[0045] It should be noted that, with respect to the main technical problem to be solved by this application: precise control of nitrogen content and improvement of mechanical strength, silicon-manganese alloy is not a necessary condition and may not be added.

[0046] In some of the embodiments, in the step of blowing nitrogen from the bottom of the refining furnace, nitrogen is blown into the bottom pipe of the refining furnace at a pressure greater than a pressure ≥ 1.2 MPa, and the blowing time is 0.1 min to 15 min.

[0047] Specifically, the pressure of the nitrogen blowing treatment is 1.2Mpa to 1.5Mpa, and can be optionally 1.2Mpa to 1.4Mpa.

[0048] In some of the embodiments, after the step of adding the vanadium-nitrogen alloy and before the step of heating and melting treatment, a second portion of scrap steel is added, and the theoretical maximum volume ratio of the second portion of scrap steel to the ladle of the refining furnace is (0-25):105.

[0049] It should be noted that the theoretical maximum volume of the ladle of the refining furnace refers to the theoretical volume of the ladle of the refining furnace itself, which essentially refers to the volume ratio of the volume of the second part of scrap steel to the theoretical volume of the ladle of the refining furnace itself. It can also be understood as the ratio of the mass of the second part of scrap steel to the mass of scrap steel that can be accommodated by the theoretical volume of the ladle of the refining furnace itself.

[0050] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the first part of scrap steel to the second part of scrap steel is (1.3-2):1.

[0051] In some of the embodiments, during the temperature rise melting process, a vanadium-nitrogen alloy is added, and based on the total mass of the molten steel formed before the temperature rise melting process, the amount of the vanadium-nitrogen alloy added is 1 kg / t to 2.5 kg / t.

[0052] "Based on the total mass of the molten steel formed before the step of heating and melting treatment" means the total mass of the molten steel existing in the refining furnace before the step of heating and melting treatment, including the molten steel before tapping, the vanadium-nitrogen alloy added during the tapping process, etc.

[0053] Before the refining process, vanadium-nitrogen alloy is added to further supplement the appropriate amount of nitrogen.

[0054] In some of the embodiments, after the step of adding vanadium-nitrogen alloy to the molten steel and placing it in a refining furnace and before the step of adding the second portion of scrap steel, the step of adding refining lime to the molten steel is further included.

[0055] Furthermore, based on the total mass of the molten steel formed before the step of adding the second portion of scrap steel, the amount of refined lime added is 4.5kg / t to 5.5kg / t; for example, before the step of adding the second portion of scrap steel, only vanadium-nitrogen alloy is added during the steel-making process. At this time, the total mass of the molten steel is based on the total mass of the molten steel before steel-making and the vanadium-nitrogen alloy finally added during the steel-making process. If other alloy additives are added during the steel-making process, the mass of the alloy additives must also be added to the total mass of the molten steel.

[0056] In some embodiments, the temperature of the melting treatment can be set to a temperature that can melt the solid raw material; specifically, it can be 1580°C to 1680°C.

[0057] In some of the embodiments, during the process of adding the second portion of scrap steel, argon is blown from the bottom of the refining furnace at a flow rate of 1500 L / min to 2500 L / min.

[0058] In some of the embodiments, the refining process is performed at a temperature of 1550°C to 1600°C.

[0059] In some of the embodiments, the process of refining molten steel to make vanadium-nitrogen steel includes casting and rolling in sequence; further, it may also include processes such as grinding commonly used in the art.

[0060] The casting, rolling and grinding processes may adopt the processes commonly used in the art without any particular limitation.

[0061] In some of the embodiments, the first portion of scrap steel and the second portion of scrap steel can be independently selected from at least one of briquetted scrap steel, loose scrap steel, and threaded steel bar grains.

[0062] In some of the embodiments, the nitrogen content in the refined molten steel is 0.01% to 0.019% by mass.

[0063] In some of the embodiments, the vanadium content in the vanadium-nitrogen alloy is 75% and the nitrogen content is 16% by mass.

[0064] Another embodiment of the present application provides a vanadium-nitrogen steel, which is prepared by the preparation method of vanadium-nitrogen steel as described above.

[0065] The vanadium-nitrogen steel prepared by the above method has excellent and stable mechanical properties and low cost.

[0066] The present application will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the present application is not limited to the following embodiments. It should be understood that the attached claims summarize the scope of the present application. Under the guidance of the concept of the present application, technical personnel in the field should realize that certain changes made to the various embodiments of the present application will be covered by the spirit and scope of the claims of the present application.
