[0002] Pure steel, also known as high manganese steel, is a high-performance steel made through a refining process. It not only has strict requirements on the quantity and size of non-metallic inclusions in the steel, but also has extremely limited content of other impurity elements in the steel. Due to its excellent hardness, toughness and anti-wear ability, this kind of steel has a wide range of applications in multiple fields.

[0006] For the pure steel prepared by the above patents and the prior art, there are problems such as long process flow, unstable molten steel quality, low desulfurization efficiency, high energy consumption, and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a highly efficient smelting method for semiconductor ultra-pure steel with precisely controlled composition, and the weight percentages of its chemical components are as follows:

[0008] C: 0.004 - 0.007%;

[0009] Si: 0.10 - 0.14%;

[0010] Mn: 0.035 - 0.045%;

[0011] P: ≤0.008%;

[0012] S: ≤0.0008%;

[0013] Ni: 14.6 - 14.9%;

[0014] Cr: 16.6 - 16.9%;

[0015] Mo: 2.3 - 2.4%;

[0016] Cu: 0.12 - 0.18%;

[0017] Al: 0.005 - 0.007%;

[0018] Nb: 0.009 - 0.011%;

[0019] Ti: 0.009 - 0.011%;

[0020] Se: 0.009 - 0.011%;

[0021] Ca: 0.009 - 0.011%;

[0022] O: 8 - 12 ppm;

[0023] H: 0.5 - 1.5 ppm;

[0024] N: 60 - 70 ppm; the balance is iron:

[0025] Its operating steps include: hot metal desulfurization, converter blowing, converter tapping, refining, and protected casting;

[0026] The converter tapping needs to be quenched to obtain semiconductor ultra-pure steel;

[0027] During the quenching treatment, a quenching agent is required, and the quenching agent is prepared by reacting boralkyl polyether, sodium chloride, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium benzoate, sodium molybdate, defoaming agent and water.

[0028] Further, the hot metal desulfurization is carried out by top spraying desulfurization on the mixer car; the addition amount of the desulfurizing agent is 4-6 kg / ton of molten steel, and the nitrogen flow rate is 450-550 m 3 / h; the desulfurizing agent composition is 30-40% calcium carbide, 25-30% calcium oxide, and the rest is calcium carbonate.

[0029] Further, the process of converter blowing is as follows:

[0030] Charging preparation: Check the lining condition of the converter to ensure that the lining is not severely eroded or damaged. Pour the desulfurized hot metal into the converter;

[0031] Bottom blowing gas control: Adopt the switching mode of nitrogen and argon for bottom blowing, switch every 10 minutes, and the blowing flow rate is 450-550 Nm 3 / h. When switching gases, ensure the normal operation of the gas switching device to avoid gas leakage or untimely switching. Through the stirring action of the bottom blowing gas, promote the homogenization of the composition and temperature of the molten steel, and at the same time facilitate the removal of impurities.

[0032] Temperature and basicity control: During the blowing process, closely monitor the temperature of the molten bath. By adjusting the oxygen flow rate and blowing time, control the temperature of the molten bath at 1450-1550 °C. At the same time, control the slag basicity CaO / SiO2 at 2.5-3.0, and adjust the slag composition by adding slag-making agents such as lime and dolomite. When the slag basicity deviates from the target range, timely adjust the addition amount of the slag-making agent. In addition, in the later stage of blowing, according to the carbon content and temperature of the molten steel, reasonably control the stopping blowing temperature to keep it at 1650-1680 °C.

[0033] Further, during the tapping process of the converter, argon stirring is carried out throughout the process; before and after tapping, slag blocking is carried out to control the amount of slag flowing down, ensuring that the thickness of the ladle slag is 50-80 mm; when 1 / 3 of the steel is tapped, add 400-500 kg / ton of molten steel of lime and 100-200 kg / ton of molten steel of composite refining slag for slag washing; then through quenching treatment, semiconductor ultra-pure steel is obtained.

[0034] Further, during the refining process, the operation of making white slag is carried out, the quaternary basicity of the slag is controlled at 2-3, the refining tapping temperature is controlled at 1500-1600 °C, and the refining time is 30-60 minutes.

[0035] Further, the quenching treatment is as follows:

[0036] S1 Pretreatment: Clean the surface of the steel code, remove oil stains, and preheat it to 600 - 700 °C to remove internal stress;

[0037] S2 Quenching preparation: Prepare a quenching agent with a certain concentration, and check the quenching equipment to ensure normal operation;

[0038] S3 Austenitization: Heat the pretreated steel code to 1000 - 1080 °C and hold for a certain time to completely transform the internal structure into austenite;

[0039] S4 Quenching execution: Quench the austenitized steel code rapidly into the quenching liquid, controlling the stirring speed and the temperature of the quenching liquid;

[0040] S5 Post-treatment: After quenching, clean and dry the steel code, and perform tempering treatment to eliminate quenching stress;

[0041] S6 Quality inspection: Include hardness testing and metallographic analysis to confirm that the quenched steel code meets the standards;

[0042] The quenching liquid is obtained by mixing the quenching agent with water, where the volume ratio concentration range of the quenching agent is 5 - 15% to ensure rapid and uniform cooling of the steel code during quenching.

[0043] Furthermore, the preparation method of the quenching agent is as follows:

[0044] By mass percentage:

[0045] Borane polyether 8 - 12%; Main film-forming agent, controlling the cooling rate and reducing quenching deformation. Sodium chloride 0.5 - 3%; Improving solution conductivity, accelerating the rupture of the steam film, and enhancing the cooling capacity. Sodium dodecyl sulfate 0.1 - 0.5%; Surfactant, improving wettability and cooling uniformity. Sodium benzoate 0.3 - 0.8%; Rust inhibitor, inhibiting metal corrosion.

[0046] Sodium molybdate 0.1 - 0.3%; Synergistic rust prevention, improving high-temperature oxidation resistance.

[0047] Defoamer 0.05 - 0.1%; Eliminating foam and ensuring the stability of the quenching process.

[0048] The balance is deionized water;

[0049] Furthermore, the preparation method of the borane polyether is as follows:

[0050] 5-10 parts by weight of methyl allyl alcohol polyether and 100-200 parts by weight of ethylene dichloride are added to a reaction kettle 1, and stirred for 50-100 minutes at a temperature of 70-80° C.; then 0.2-0.5 parts of disodium mercapto dodecaborane, 0.03-0.2 parts by weight of 3-mercaptoquinoline and 0.5-2 parts by weight of triethylamine are added, and stirring is continued for 50-100 minutes at the same temperature; thereafter, the ethylene dichloride is removed by distillation to obtain a borane polyether.

[0051] The methyl allyl alcohol polyether has a molecular weight of 500-1000.

[0052] Reaction mechanism

[0053] First, at the reaction temperature (70-80°C), the hydrogen atoms on the thiol group in the 3-mercaptoquinoline molecule are homolytically split to generate thiol free radicals. The generated thiol free radicals add to the allyl group in the methyl allyl alcohol polyether, breaking the π bond of the allyl double bond to form a new carbon-sulfur bond and a carbon free radical.

[0054] The new carbon radical takes hydrogen atoms from disodium thiol dodecaborane to form a stable product and regenerate thiol radicals, allowing the reaction to continue. As the reaction proceeds, the free radicals combine with each other, such as two thiol radicals combining to form disulfide, and the reaction terminates.

[0055] The main function of high purity stainless steel quenching agent

[0056] 1. Borane polyether has good thermal conductivity. It can quickly take away the heat from the steel surface during quenching, transform the stainless steel structure, form fine and uniform grains, improve hardness and strength, and its cooling rate can be accurately controlled by adjusting parameters such as concentration and temperature to avoid defects such as cracks and deformation.

[0057] Borane polyether can form a protective film on the surface of stainless steel to prevent rust, which is critical for high-purity stainless steel. At the same time, it can act as a lubricant during quenching, reduce friction between steel and equipment, reduce surface wear, and improve surface quality.

[0058] 2. Corrosion inhibition of quinoline group: Quinoline and its derivatives are widely used in industrial production due to their excellent corrosion inhibition performance. The nitrogen atom in the quinoline group can form a coordination bond with the metal surface, thereby forming a stable protective layer on the metal surface. This protective layer can not only prevent the metal from further oxidation, but also inhibit the dissolution of metal ions to a certain extent, thereby maintaining the high hardness and good tensile properties of the metal.

[0059] 3. Enhancement of intermolecular forces: During the quenching process, the borane and quinoline groups interact with the atoms on the metal surface through intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, etc.) to form a more stable chemical film. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
