[0031] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow diagram of a smelting method for bake - hardening steel provided for the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a smelting method for bake hardening steel, and the method includes:

[0033] S1. Decarburize the converter molten steel by RH to obtain decarburized molten steel;

[0034] In some embodiments, by mass fraction, in the decarburized molten steel, the C content ≤ 0.0030%.

[0035] RH decarburization is mainly based on the chemical reaction that carbon in steel reacts with hydrogen or oxygen at high temperature to generate methane or carbon monoxide. During this process, oxygen diffuses into the steel, and at the same time, carbon in the steel diffuses outwards, thereby achieving decarburization. Limiting the C content in the molten steel after RH decarburization to ≤ 0.0030% can control the C content in the molten steel at a low level, which is beneficial to the overall control of the C content of the steel grade. Exemplarily, the C content in the decarburized molten steel can be 0.0010%, 0.0015%, 0.0020%, 0.0025%, 0.0030%, etc.

[0036] S2. Adjust the contents of Al, Mn, and P in the decarburized molten steel, and adjust the contents of Ti, Nb, and excess carbon content [C] in the decarburized molten steel according to the C content and N content in the decarburized molten steel eff , so as to perform alloying treatment on the decarburized molten steel to obtain alloyed molten steel;

[0037] In some embodiments, by mass fraction, in the alloyed molten steel, the Al content is 0.020% - 0.050%.

[0038] In some embodiments, by mass fraction, in the alloyed molten steel, the Mn content is 0.60% - 0.70%.

[0039] In some embodiments, by mass fraction, in the alloyed molten steel, the P content is 0.030% - 0.040%.

[0040] By adjusting the Al content, on the one hand, the O content in the molten steel is reduced, and the recovery rate of other alloying elements is increased. On the other hand, the Al content is ensured to reach the steel grade control target. At the same time, other elements such as Mn and P are adjusted to meet the requirements of the steel grade. Exemplarily, in the alloyed molten steel, the Al content can be 0.020%, 0.025%, 0.030%, 0.040%, 0.045%, 0.050%, etc., the Mn content can be 0.60%, 0.62%, 0.64%, 0.66%, 0.68%, 0.70%, etc., and the P content can be 0.030%, 0.032%, 0.034%, 0.036%, 0.038%, 0.040%, etc.

[0041] Adjusting the [C], [Nb], and [Ti] contents of molten steel. When the contents of other steel elements have been adjusted, adjusting the contents of alloying elements such as [Nb] and [Ti] in molten steel is conducive to accurately controlling the excess carbon content [C]. eff .

[0042] In some embodiments, when the C content in the decarburized molten steel is ≤0.0020% by mass, the Ti and Nb contents in the alloyed molten steel satisfy the following relationship:

[0043] [Ti]≤3.43·[N], and [Nb]=7.75·([C]-[C] eff )

[0044] In the formula, [Ti] represents the Ti content in the alloyed steel water; [Nb] represents the Nb content in the alloyed steel water; [N] represents the N content in the decarburized steel water; [C] eff represents the target excess carbon content in the alloyed molten steel, [C] eff It is 0.0005% to 0.0013%; [C] represents the C content in the decarburized molten steel.

[0045] According to the precipitation order of C and N compounds in steel during solidification: TiN→AlN→TiC→NbC, therefore, the alloy order is adjusted according to the C content in the decarburized molten steel at the end point of RH decarburization. If the C content of the decarburized molten steel is ≤0.0020% at this time, the Ti content of the molten steel is adjusted according to the N content of the decarburized molten steel and the predicted amount of nitrogen increase in the molten steel during RH to continuous casting. Controlling [Ti]≤3.43·[N] can ensure that all Ti in the decarburized molten steel can be combined with N, ensuring that there is no excess Ti, and the remaining N can be combined with Al; on this basis, the excess carbon [C] is adjusted through Nb eff , making it equal to [C]-([Nb] / 7.75), achieving [C] eff Precise control.

[0046] In some embodiments, when the C content in the decarburized molten steel is greater than 0.0020% by mass, the Ti and Nb contents in the alloyed molten steel satisfy the following relationship:

[0047] [Ti]>3.43·[N], and [Nb]=7.75·([Ti] / 4-[N] / 1.17)-([C]-[C] eff )

[0048] In the formula, [Ti] represents the Ti content in the alloyed steel water; [Nb] represents the Nb content in the alloyed steel water; [N] represents the N content in the decarburized steel water; [C] effRepresents the target excess carbon content in the alloyed molten steel, [C] eff is 0.0005% - 0.0013%; [C] represents the C content in the decarburized molten steel.

[0049] If the C content in the decarburized molten steel at the end of RH decarburization > 0.0020%, at this time [C] eff has insufficient adjustable space and must adopt the mode of multi-alloy composite adjustment to adjust [C] eff , in order to finally meet eff the need for precise control. Under this condition, combined with the precipitation sequence of carbonitrides in steel during solidification, first adjust with Ti according to the upper and middle limits, control [Ti] > 3.43[N], then the remaining [Ti] combined by [N] can consume a part of [C], and then adjust [Nb] to meet eff =[C] - ([Ti] / 4 - [N] / 1.17) - ([Nb] / 7.75), [C] eff is controlled within the range of 0.0005% - 0.0013%.

[0050] S3. Carry out pure circulation treatment on the alloyed molten steel for a set time to obtain molten steel for continuous casting.

[0051] In some embodiments, the time of the pure circulation treatment is 4 min - 10 min.

[0052] After alloying, the pure circulation time of the alloyed molten steel is 4 min - 10 min, so as to ensure that the steel liquid composition and inclusion control are qualified. Exemplarily, the pure circulation time of the alloyed molten steel can be 4 min, 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 9 min, 10 min, etc.

[0053] In some embodiments, the method uses a carbon-free ladle to control the ladle carbon increase amount ≤ 0.0003%.

[0054] In some embodiments, the carbon increase amount of the refractory material during continuous casting of the molten steel for continuous casting ≤ 0.0003%.

[0055] During the production process, a carbon-free ladle is used to control the ladle carbon increase amount ≤ 0.0003%, and the carbon increase amount of the refractory material during continuous casting is controlled ≤ 0.0003% to avoid excessive excess carbon. Through the implementation of the above method, the C content of the final product is controlled to 0.0013% - 0.0025%.

[0056] In summary, the smelting method of a bake hardening steel provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following significant advantages:

[0057] (1) Low-carbon precise control: Through the RH decarburization process, the carbon content in the decarburized molten steel is strictly controlled within the range of ≤0.0030%, providing a good basis for subsequent alloying treatment. At the same time, according to the carbon content in the decarburized molten steel, the contents of alloying elements Ti and Nb are precisely adjusted to control the excess carbon content [C]. eff Within the precise range of 0.0005% - 0.0013%, it ensures that the carbon content of the final product is controlled within 0.0013% - 0.0025%, meeting the strict requirements of bake hardening steel for low carbon content.

[0058] (2) Alloying element optimization: By adjusting the contents of elements such as Al, Mn, P, etc., not only the oxygen content in the molten steel is reduced, the recovery rate of other alloying elements is improved, but also the steel grade composition meets specific requirements. Precisely controlling the contents of Ti and Nb not only optimizes the microstructure of the steel, but also improves the bake hardening performance and strength of the steel.

[0059] (3) High-efficiency pure circulation treatment: The alloyed molten steel is subjected to pure circulation treatment for 4 min - 10 min, effectively ensuring the uniformity of the molten steel composition and the control of inclusions, and improving the quality of the molten steel.

[0060] (4) Strict control of carburization amount: Carbon-free ladles are used, and the carburization amount of refractory materials during continuous casting is strictly controlled, avoiding the problem of excessive excess carbon and ensuring that the carbon content of the final product is controlled within the target range.

[0061] (5) Process flexibility and controllability: This method is not only applicable to the production of extra-low carbon steel, but also the contents of alloying elements can be adjusted according to specific requirements to meet the requirements of different steel grades. By precisely controlling various process parameters, such as decarburization time, alloying element content, pure circulation treatment time, etc., precise control of the molten steel composition and performance is achieved.

[0062] (6) Improving production efficiency and reducing costs: The optimized smelting process shortens the production cycle and improves production efficiency. By precisely controlling the contents of alloying elements, unnecessary addition of alloying elements is reduced, and production costs are lowered.
