Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material detection in the iron and steel industry, and particularly relates to a method for detecting the composition of granular steel. Background Art

[0002] Granular steel is a by-product of the iron and steel industry and the manufacturing industry. Its main sources include the products after steel slag separation, the oxidized slag from flame cutting of steel, welding iron oxide, and iron filings after cold processing of steel. Granular steel contains metallic iron and iron oxides, with an iron content between 60% and 85%. It is generally recycled as low-quality scrap steel in processes such as converters, electric furnaces, and induction furnaces.

[0003] When traditional iron ore-containing materials are subjected to composition detection, they are generally crushed to less than 100 mesh or made into polished slices, and then directly analyzed using chemical analysis methods or spectroscopic methods. However, since granular steel is a mixture of metals and non-metals, and the metals have ductile properties, the existing processing means cannot process the granular steel sample to less than 100 mesh, so it cannot meet the requirements of the sample specifications for detection. Currently, the melting separation method is mainly used to determine the quality of granular steel, that is, the melting and water discharge rate. This method is difficult to completely separate the metal from the molten slag, and there are problems such as carburization. The detection accuracy is low, and there is a lack of composition detection, which cannot well meet the detection requirements for the effective components of economic scrap steel.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application CN 113720725 A discloses a method for detecting granular steel. First, a pure steel sample is melted to obtain a first molten steel, and the composition of the first molten steel is analyzed; then the granular steel sample is mixed and melted with the first molten steel to obtain a second molten steel and molten slag, and the compositions of the second molten steel and molten slag are analyzed; then, according to the weight of the pure steel sample, the weight of the granular steel sample, the weight of the second molten steel, and the weight of the molten slag, the percentage content of the composition of the granular steel sample is calculated. The disadvantage of this method is that it is necessary to separately measure the weight T3 of the second molten steel and the weight T4 of the molten slag, and the accuracy of the result largely depends on the separation degree of the second molten steel and the molten slag, but this technical solution does not record how it processes the second molten steel and the molten slag. In actual measurement, completely separating the molten slag and the molten steel has always been a difficult point in operation. Therefore, using this technical solution to measure the composition of granular steel is prone to large errors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the technical problem that the melting separation method cannot well meet the detection requirements for the effective components of economic scrap steel, the present invention provides a method for detecting the composition of granular steel, which uses the measurement of the change in the composition of doped elements to calculate the composition of granular steel, effectively avoiding the difficult problem of separating molten steel and molten slag.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A method for detecting the composition of granular steel, comprising the following steps: (1)Take a particle steel sample to be inspected with a mass of G 1 and heat it to melting to obtain separated metal 1 and slag 1. After cooling, detect the percentage content A of element M in metal 1 through an X-ray fluorescence analyzer 1 ; Element M is an element that dissolves in Fe but does not react with air, the container, and the substances contained in the particle steel; (2)Take a powder of element M with a mass of G 2 as a doped alloy, and detect the percentage content A of element M in the doped alloy through an X-ray fluorescence analyzer 2 ; (3)Take another particle steel sample to be inspected with the same batch as in step (1) and with a mass of G 1 , mix it with the doped alloy in step (2) and heat it to melting to obtain completely separated metal 2 and slag 2; (4)After cooling, detect the percentage content A of element M in metal 2 3 , the percentage content B of the element to be detected in metal 2 1 and the percentage content B of the element to be detected in slag 2 2 ; (5)Calculate the mass G 1 of the metal in the particle steel sample to be inspected with a mass of G 3 , the mass G 4 of slag 2 obtained in step (3), and finally obtain the percentage content C of the element to be detected in the particle steel: , , .

[0007] Furthermore, element M is selected from Cu, Ni, Co, Au, Pt or Wu.

[0008] Furthermore, in step (1), heat and hold for 30 minutes at 1550 °C, and then cool naturally. The heating and holding process and the natural cooling process are both carried out in a protective atmosphere.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (3), heat and hold for 30 minutes at 1550 °C, and then cool naturally. The heating and holding process and the natural cooling process are both carried out in a protective atmosphere.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective atmosphere is a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (3), rotate and shake the particle steel sample to be inspected and the doped alloy for 5 minutes.

[0012] Furthermore, the element to be detected is selected from Fe, C, Si, Mn, P, S, Mg, Al or Ca.

[0013] Furthermore, generally, the detection of granular steel focuses on the content of Fe element. Therefore, when there is no clear requirement for the content of C element in granular steel, a graphite crucible can be used as the container and heated in an intermediate frequency furnace. Compared with a resistance furnace, the intermediate frequency furnace has a high heating efficiency, which can effectively shorten the detection time and improve the detection efficiency.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Introduce the element M for determining the composition to calibrate the composition of the test sample, which has no influence on the test sample during the detection process; (2) Solve the problems that it is impossible to prepare samples and it is difficult to completely separate metal and slag during the detection of granular steel; (3) Can completely measure the contents of Fe, C, Si, Mn, P, S, Mg, Al, and Ca in granular steel, and simultaneously determine the accurate weight of the metal components in granular steel; (4) This method has high precision and is easy to operate; (5) This method can also be applied to the detection of the composition of similar metal and non-metal mixtures.
