These sub-steps or stages do not necessarily need to be completed at the same moment but can be executed at different moments, and their execution order does not necessarily need to be sequential, but can be executed alternately or simultaneously with other steps or a part of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0040] The above application content of this application does not intend to describe every disclosed embodiment or every implementation manner in this application. The following description more specifically gives examples of exemplary embodiments. Throughout the application, guidance is provided through a series of embodiments, and these embodiments can be used in various combinations. In each instance, the listing is only a representative group and should not be construed as exhaustive.

[0041] In the research process, the inventors found that, compared with other molten steel refining equipment such as LF furnaces, the desulfurization efficiency of RH furnaces is very limited. The main reason is that the stirring in the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace is very strong, and the flow rate of the molten steel is very high, which will quickly roll the desulfurization slag out of the vacuum chamber and into the ladle top slag, thus losing the driving force for desulfurization.

[0042] In view of this, in order to weaken the "rolling out" effect of the slag in the RH furnace, increase the residence time of the desulfurization slag in the RH furnace to improve the desulfurization effect in the RH furnace, and at the same time not overly weaken the mixing effect of the molten steel and slag in the vacuum chamber, the present application proposes the following technical solutions.

[0043] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for desulfurizing molten steel in an RH furnace, which may include the following steps:

[0044] Transport the molten steel to the operating position of the RH furnace, lift the ladle or lower the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace, and perform a vacuum pumping operation on the RH furnace;

[0045] Add a flow control agent and a desulfurizing agent into the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace;

[0046] Perform alloying treatment on the molten steel, and transport the alloyed molten steel out for casting and forming.

[0047] In the method provided by the present application, by adding a flow control agent into the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace, the formation of vortices caused by the rapid flow of the molten steel can be blocked to a certain extent, and the kinetic energy of the vortices can be dissipated, which can block the entry of the desulfurization slag into the vortices to a certain extent. Finally, the rolling out effect of the desulfurization slag can be effectively slowed down, thereby increasing the reaction time of the molten steel and slag and improving the desulfurization effect. Accordingly, using the above method during steelmaking can effectively improve the desulfurization rate of the RH furnace process, thereby reducing the sulfur content of the prepared molten steel and steel products, improving the purity of the molten steel and steel products, and at the same time relieving the production pressure of the LF furnace.

[0048] In some embodiments, based on the mass of the molten steel, the addition amount of the flow control agent is 0.1 kg / ton to 1.0 kg / ton. For example, the addition amount of the flow control agent can be 0.1 kg / ton, 0.2 kg / ton, 0.3 kg / ton, 0.4 kg / ton, 0.5 kg / ton, 0.6 kg / ton, 0.7 kg / ton, 0.8 kg / ton, 0.9 kg / ton, 1.0 kg / ton or within the range composed of any of the above values. In this way, it can not only have a good blocking effect on the entry of the desulfurization slag into the vortices and improve the desulfurization effect, but also be beneficial to cost control.

[0049] In some embodiments, the melting point of the flow control agent is greater than or equal to 1700 °C. In this way, the flow control agent is not easily melted at the temperature in the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace, and can effectively improve the desulfurization effect.

[0050] In some embodiments, the flow control agent includes one or more of alumina-based materials, spinel-based materials, and magnesia-chrome materials. The above materials selected for the flow control agent are not easily reactive with desulfurization slag and molten steel, and can effectively improve the desulfurization effect.

[0051] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the flow control agent is 30 mm to 300 mm, and can be selected as 80 mm to 300 mm. For example, the average particle size of the flow control agent can be 30 mm, 50 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 130 mm, 150 mm, 170 mm, 200 mm, 230 mm, 250 mm, 270 mm, 300 mm or within the range composed of any of the above values. In this way, not only can the flow control agent itself not be easily carried out of the vacuum chamber by the vortex, but it can also easily fall into the ladle slag after the vacuum is completed.

[0052] It can be understood that when the average particle size of the flow control agent is 30 mm to 80 mm, it can be put into the RH furnace vacuum chamber through the alloy feeding system; when its average particle size is 80 mm to 300 mm, it can be manually thrown below the nozzle of the immersion tube before the ladle rises, so that it floats into the vacuum chamber during the rising process of the ladle.

[0053] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the desulfurizing agent is less than or equal to 50 mm, and can be selected as 3 mm to 50 mm. For example, the average particle size of the desulfurizing agent can be 3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm, 25 mm, 36 mm, 47 mm, 50 mm or within the range composed of any of the above values. In this way, it is beneficial to form a cooperation with the flow control agent, further weaken the "carrying out" effect, increase the residence time of the desulfurization slag in the RH furnace, and improve the desulfurization effect in the RH furnace.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the desulfurizing agent to the molten steel is 1:1000 to 15:1000.

[0055] In some embodiments, the desulfurizing agent includes 12CaO·7Al2O3 phase and 11CaO·7Al2O3·CaF2 phase. In the desulfurizing agent, the sum of the mass percentages of the 12CaO·7Al2O3 phase and the 11CaO·7Al2O3·CaF2 phase is more than 30%. In this way, the melting point of the desulfurizing agent is relatively low, its melting speed in the vacuum chamber is relatively fast, the interaction between the desulfurizing agent and the molten steel can be accelerated, so as to accelerate the desulfurization rate and improve the desulfurization rate.

[0056] In some embodiments, in the desulfurizing agent, the sum of the mass percentages of the 12CaO·7Al2O3 phase and the 11CaO·7Al2O3·CaF2 phase is 30% to 80%.

[0057] In some embodiments, the desulfurizer comprises the following components by mass percentage: CaO, 35% - 50%; CaF2, 5% - 35%; Al2O3, 20% - 38%; SiO2, 1% - 8%; MgO ≤ 8%; TiO2 ≤ 0.1%; C ≤ 0.15%; S ≤ 0.1%.

[0058] In some embodiments, the desulfurizer is added to the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace in 2 - 3 batches.

[0059] It can be understood that the addition amount of the desulfurizer can be adjusted according to different steel grades and desulfurization rates, etc., and is not limited herein.

[0060] In some embodiments, the vacuum degree of the evacuation operation is 0 kPa - 10 kPa.

[0061] In some embodiments, the flow rate of the lifting gas for the evacuation operation is 100 Nm 3 / h - 210 Nm 3 / h.

[0062] It should be noted that except during the alloying treatment, the flow rate of the lifting gas in the RH furnace can be maintained at 100 Nm 3 / h - 210 Nm 3 / h during the desulfurization process of the molten steel.

[0063] In some embodiments, the lifting gas is an inert gas, including nitrogen and / or argon.

[0064] In some embodiments, the nominal capacity of the ladle is 120 tons - 350 tons.

[0065] In some embodiments, the alloying treatment of the molten steel may include the following steps:

[0066] According to the target temperature of the RH furnace, an oxygen blowing and heating operation is performed;

[0067] According to the target chemical composition requirements of the molten steel in the RH furnace, ferroalloys are added to the molten steel for smelting treatment to alloy the molten steel.

[0068] It can be understood that the "target temperature of the RH furnace" as described in this application refers to the temperature required to achieve all necessary subsequent treatments (including but not limited to alloying, casting, etc.) of the molten steel; the "target chemical composition requirements of the molten steel in the RH furnace" refer to the target chemical composition that the molten steel prepared by the RH furnace needs to reach.

[0069] In some embodiments, the time of the smelting treatment is 15 min - 60 min.

[0070] In some embodiments, the ferroalloy includes but is not limited to ferrosilicon alloy, ferromanganese alloy, etc.

[0071] In some embodiments, during the alloying treatment, the vacuum degree of the RH furnace is controlled to be 0 - 10 kPa and maintained for more than 3 minutes. In this way, it is beneficial to increase the liquid level height of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber to more than 200 mm to strengthen the homogenization of the ferroalloy.

[0072] It can be understood that the "liquid level height of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber" described in this application refers to the height difference between the surface of the molten steel liquid level in the vacuum chamber and the surface of the refractory material at the bottom of the vacuum chamber.

[0073] In some embodiments, during the alloying treatment, the lifting gas flow rate of the RH furnace is controlled to be 140 Nm 3 / h - 240 Nm 3 / h and maintained for more than 3 minutes. For example, the lifting gas flow rate of the RH furnace can be 140 Nm 3 / h, 160 Nm 3 / h, 180 Nm 3 / h, 200 Nm 3 / h, 210 Nm 3 / h, 230 Nm 3 / h, 240 Nm 3 / h or within the range composed of any of the above values. In this way, it is beneficial to increase the stirring intensity and promote the melting and homogenization of the ferroalloy during the smelting process.

[0074] In some embodiments, the alloying treatment is completed before the addition of the desulfurizing agent, or is carried out within 6 min - 20 min after the addition of the desulfurizing agent. Conducting the alloying treatment after the addition of the desulfurizing agent is beneficial to obtaining a better desulfurization effect.

[0075] In some embodiments, the vacuum chamber system may include a vacuum chamber, immersion tubes (riser tube and downcomer), hot bend pipes, alloy feeding ports, etc. Each part can be welded and connected through a steel structure and is attached with refractory materials for heat preservation and isolation of the molten steel.

[0076] In a second aspect, the present application provides a desulfurized steel product obtained by the method described in the first aspect of the present application.

[0079] Example 1

[0080] The method for desulfurizing molten steel in an RH furnace in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0081] Transport a ladle containing approximately 300 tons of molten steel to the RH furnace treatment position;

[0082] Lift the ladle to the immersion tube so that the immersion tube is immersed in the ladle, and make the liquid level height of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber exceed 300 mm;

[0083] Start the vacuum pumping operation. As the vacuum pressure drops, gradually increase the lifting height so that the vacuum degree of the vacuum pumping operation is controlled at 5 kPa, and adjust the lifting gas flow rate to 150 Nm 3 / h, take a molten steel sample to test the full composition (including sulfur content);

[0084] Add 100 kg of flow control agent into the vacuum chamber at one time. Among them, the flow control agent is an alumina-based material with an average particle size of 80 mm;

[0085] Add 1200 kg of desulfurizer (at an interval of 6 min) into the vacuum chamber in two batches.

[0086] After treatment for 15 min, add ferromanganese alloy to carry out alloying treatment on the molten steel;

[0087] After the alloy is added, increase the lifting gas flow rate to 180 Nm 3 / h. After treatment for 4 min, take a molten steel sample to test the full composition (including sulfur content);

[0088] Break the vacuum of the RH furnace, and transport the qualified molten steel to continuous casting for pouring and forming.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] Similar to the preparation method of Example 1, the main difference is that: the flow control agent is made of alumina material with an average particle size of 30 mm.

[0091] Example 3

[0092] Similar to the preparation method of Example 1, the main difference is that: the flow control agent is made of alumina material with an average particle size of 300 mm.

[0093] Comparative Example 1

[0094] Similar to the preparation method of Example 1, the main difference is that: no flow control agent is added during the process. The specific steps are as follows:

[0095] Transport a ladle containing about 300 tons of molten steel to the treatment position of the RH furnace;

[0096] Lift the ladle to make the immersion tube dip into the ladle, and make the liquid level height of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber exceed 300 mm;

[0097] Start the vacuum pumping operation. As the vacuum pressure drops, gradually increase the lifting height to control the vacuum degree of the vacuum pumping operation to 5 kPa, and adjust the lifting gas flow rate to 150 Nm 3 / h, take a molten steel sample to test the full composition (including sulfur content);

[0098] Add 1800 kg of RH furnace desulfurizer into the vacuum chamber in two batches (with an interval of 3 min). Among them, the desulfurizer includes the following components by mass percentage: CaO, 50%; CaF2, 8%; Al2O3, 33%; SiO2, 2%; MgO, 5%; TiO2, 0.03%; C, 0.08%; the sum of the mass percentages of the 12CaO·7Al2O3 phase and the 11CaO·7Al2O3·CaF2 phase is 46%; the average particle size of the desulfurizer is 43 mm;

[0099] After treatment for 15 min, add ferromanganese alloy to carry out alloying treatment on the molten steel;

[0100] After the alloy is added, increase the lifting gas flow rate to 180 Nm 3 / h. After treatment for 4 min, take a molten steel sample to test the full composition (including sulfur content);

[0101] The RH furnace breaks the vacuum, and transports the qualified molten steel to continuous casting for pouring and forming.

[0102] Among them, the test conditions or test standards for each performance test item are as follows:

[0103] (1) Detection of sulfur content in molten steel

[0104] The carbon and sulfur contents of molten steel are determined by the carbon-sulfur method, i.e., the combustion-infrared absorption method in "GB / T 12497-2014 Methods for Chemical Analysis of Iron, Steel and Alloys - Combustion-Infrared Absorption Method".

[0105] "GB / T 4336-2002 Carbon Steels and Medium and Low Alloy Steels - Spark Source Atomic Emission Spectrometric Analysis Method (Conventional Method)" and "GB / T 11170-2008 Stainless Steels - Determination of Multi-Element Contents - Spark Discharge Atomic Emission Spectrometric Method (Conventional Method)" are used to test the composition of molten steel (carbon and sulfur elements can also be included according to the accuracy requirements).

[0106] Desulfurization rate = 100% × (1 - w[S] after RH furnace treatment ÷ w[S] before RH furnace treatment).

[0107] Table 1

[0108]

[0109] It can be seen from Table 1 that although the addition amount of desulfurizer in Comparative Example 1 is much higher than that in Examples 1 to 3, the desulfurization rate is much lower than that in Examples 1 to 3, indicating that the addition of the flow control agent can effectively improve the desulfurization efficiency.
