[0002] Industrial pure iron is a special alloy steel with a very low carbon content. It has excellent properties such as low coercivity, good thermal and electromagnetic properties, soft texture, and good toughness. Industrial pure iron is an important raw material for smelting precision alloys, superalloys, extra-low carbon stainless steels, electrothermal alloys, new energy batteries, etc., and is widely used in telecommunications, the electronics industry, measurement, remote control, etc. The process of extra-low manganese pure industrial pure iron has become a very important research and breakthrough problem in the steel industry, reflecting the industrial level and comprehensive strength of a steel enterprise, and is of great significance to scientific research, industry, and engineering. Among them, the content of gas impurity elements (nitrogen and oxygen) in industrial pure iron is only 4.3 ppm, and the total content of the remaining elements is 3.5 ppm.
[0003] Extra-low manganese pure industrial pure iron is a special alloy steel with extremely low impurity content. As a special material required for the development of high-tech industries, it has more excellent corrosion resistance, magnetic and electrical properties than traditional pure iron and iron-based materials, and has broad application prospects in many fields such as aerospace, energy, and new semiconductors. However, in the current production process, industrial pure iron is easily contaminated by impurities, and it is of great significance to achieve continuous batch production of pure industrial pure iron.
[0004] After retrieval, a super-low carbon and extra-low manganese industrial pure iron and a preparation method thereof are disclosed in Chinese Patent CN113774277B. Its components and weight percentage contents are as follows: Its chemical composition and weight percentage contents are: C: ≤0.002%, Mn: ≤0.035%, Si: ≤0.010%, Al: ≤0.020%, P: ≤0.015%, S: ≤0.005%, Nb: ≤0.030%, Ti: ≤0.030%, Cu: ≤0.020%, Cr: ≤0.020%, Mo: ≤0.020%, V: ≤0.030%, N: ≤0.0040%, T[O] ≤0.008%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable inclusions. However, in the pure iron prepared by the above patent, the total content of other elements is still relatively high, and it is impossible to prepare industrial pure iron with higher purity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the problem that industrial pure iron is prone to be contaminated by impurities during production in the existing production of industrial pure iron, the present invention provides an ultra-low manganese industrial pure iron and its preparation method to solve the above problems. The present invention aims to control and reduce elements such as manganese, silicon, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and copper. For blast furnace molten iron, a low-silicon smelting method is adopted to ensure a low silicon content under the condition of long-term stable physical heat of the molten iron; the blast furnace burden distribution system is strictly implemented to control various parameters such as the coke ratio of the blast furnace; the KR desulfurization, converter smelting, and LF+RH refining processes are controlled, and finally ultra-low manganese industrial pure iron is obtained to realize the batch production of ultra-low manganese industrial pure iron smelting. The ultra-low manganese pure iron mentioned usually refers to the content of manganese in pure iron w(Mn) ≤ 0.015%.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a preparation method of ultra-low manganese industrial pure iron, including the following steps: (1) Blast furnace smelting; (2) KR desulfurization; (3) Converter smelting; (4) LF+RH refining; (5) Continuous casting.
[0007] Among them, in step (1), the blast furnace smelting adopts the method of adding coke in the center. Coke is added in the center of the blast furnace to form an inverted "V"-shaped softening-melting zone, improving the liquid permeability and gas permeability of the hearth; for the blast furnace molten iron, a low-silicon smelting method is adopted to ensure low silicon without low heat under the condition of long-term stable physical heat of the molten iron. For the thermal regime control of the molten iron, the physical heat ≥ 1600 °C, and the slag basicity R2 is controlled according to 1.35 to inhibit the reduction of silicon; In step (3), during converter smelting, a "5+1" hole Laval nozzle is adopted, and the oxygen lance nozzle is arranged in a way that there is 1 hole in the center and 5 equidistant holes around it. The Mach number in the center is 2.06, and the Mach number of the 5 holes around is 2.07; In step (4), high-oxygen de-manganese is adopted in LF refining; deep de-manganese is adopted in RH refining.
[0008] Furthermore, in blast furnace smelting, high-quality iron ore is used, MT (total moisture) ≤ 3.0%, TFe ≥ 65%, P ≤ 0.050%, S ≤ 0.005%, TiO2 ≤ 0.02%, MnO ≤ 0.05%; Coke quality control standard: A d ≤ 12.3%, S t ,d ≤ 0.69%, CSR ≥ 71%, CRI is 20% - 23%, M 40 ≥ 87%, M 10 ≤ 5.4%, average particle size 45 - 50 mm; Sinter quality control standard: TFe ≥ 57.5%, FeO 10.0 - 10.5%, RDI +315 mm ≥ 67%, T ≥ 80%, R2 is controlled at 1.85 - 1.95. Improve the stability rate of the quality of raw fuels.
[0009] Furthermore, in blast furnace smelting, the coke ratio of the blast furnace is 339 kg / t, the coal ratio is 143 kg / t, the fuel ratio is 490 kg / t, the blast volume is 7335 m 3 / min, the oxygen enrichment rate is 3.9%, the blast temperature is 1240 °C, and the w(Mn) of the tapped hot metal is ≤0.023% and w(Si) is ≤0.040%.
[0010] Furthermore, during KR desulfurization, stirring and slag skimming desulfurization are carried out. 3000 kg of desulfurizer is added and stirred for 15 minutes. After desulfurization of the hot metal, w(S) ≤0.002%, and after desulfurization, the slag is skimmed until the bright surface of the hot metal is ≥98%.
[0011] Furthermore, 210 tons of hot metal are charged into the converter. The temperature of the charged hot metal is ≥1350 °C, 40 tons of scrap steel are used, and there are no iron blocks mixed in the scrap steel. All high-quality steel sheet materials without copper elements are used.
[0012] Furthermore, during converter smelting, it is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. Among them, the time in the early stage is 3 minutes; the time in the middle stage is 3 - 10 minutes; the time in the late stage is 10 - 12 minutes.
[0013] Furthermore, in the early stage of converter smelting, the oxygen flow rate is 20000 - 23000 m 3 / h, the bottom blowing flow rate is 240 - 260 m 3 / h, the lance position of the oxygen lance is 2600 mm, 4000 kg of lime, 1500 kg of raw dolomite, and 1200 kg of mill scale are added to ensure that slag is formed as soon as possible in the early stage to accelerate the oxidation reaction. The large impact area of the high lance position oxygen jet enhances the stirring of the molten steel and the slag, and accelerates the oxidation of manganese in the early stage. At the 3rd minute, the lance is lifted to stop smelting, and slag is poured out to remove a large amount of MnO and P2O5 in the slag, ensuring the removal of most of the manganese elements and effective dephosphorization in the molten steel in the early stage.
[0014] Furthermore, in the middle stage of converter smelting, the oxygen flow rate is 47000 - 49000 m 3 / h, the bottom blowing flow rate is 480 - 500 m 3 / h, the lance position of the oxygen lance is 2200 mm, 4000 kg of lime, 1000 kg of raw dolomite, and 800 kg of mill scale are added. The kinetic and thermodynamic conditions of the converter molten bath are sufficient. As the oxidation reaction continues, the molten steel is stirred evenly and the temperature of the molten bath gradually rises, removing manganese, phosphorus, and residual sulfur elements in the molten steel.
[0015] Furthermore, in the late stage of converter smelting, the oxygen flow rate is 53000 - 55000 m 3 / h, the bottom blowing flow rate is 320 - 340 m 3 / h, the lance position of the oxygen lance is 1800 mm, 500 kg of lime, 200 kg of raw dolomite, and 200 kg of mill scale are added. In the later stage of smelting, the bottom blowing flow rate is reduced to carry out a weak stirring mode to prevent manganese elements from returning to the molten steel. At the same time, to prevent the de-manganese rate from decreasing under high-temperature conditions, the converter end temperature is controlled at 1590 - 1620 °C, and the end oxygen activity is 0.080 % - 0.110 %, so as to ensure that w(Mn) ≤ 0.04 %, w(Si) ≤ 0.010 %, w(C) ≤ 0.04 %, w(P) ≤ 0.005 %, w(S) ≤ 0.007 %, w(Cu) ≤ 0.008 % at the end point.
[0016] Further, the high-oxygen de-manganese includes: the transfer and isolation time is 23 minutes, the LF tapping temperature ≥ 1520 °C, 450 kg of flux and 1000 kg of lime are added for the first heating, and the heating time is 7 minutes to ensure the fluidity of the slag. The bottom blowing argon gas flow rate in the ladle is 30 - 80 m 3 / h, and the stirring time is 5 minutes; 500 kg of lime is added for the second heating, the heating time is 5 minutes, and the bottom blowing argon gas flow rate in the ladle is 30 - 80 m 3 / h, and the stirring time is 3 minutes. Utilize the high oxidability characteristics of the converter end molten steel to further remove manganese elements in the LF refining furnace, and w(Mn) ≤ 0.020 % at the LF end point.
[0017] Further, the deep de-manganese includes: the transfer and isolation time is 20 minutes; the set flow rate range of the circulating gas lifting gas in the early stage of deep de-manganese is 80 - 120 m 3 / h, and the set flow rate range of the circulating gas lifting gas in the middle and later stages is 80 - 200 m 3 / h, and the cycle time is 15 minutes. Oxygen blowing is carried out for temperature rise according to an oxygen-aluminum ratio of 1:1.3. After the temperature rise is completed, the vacuum degree is controlled below 0.25 kPa. To make the inclusions float up sufficiently, the time from the end of oxygen blowing to breaking the vacuum is ensured to be more than 10 minutes. w(Mn) ≤ 0.015 % for deep de-manganese, and the tapping temperature is 1580 °C. 200 m of calcium wire is fed, the soft blowing flow rate is 100 L / minute, and the soft blowing time is 8 minutes.
[0018] Further, in step (5), during casting, the tundish starting pouring tonnage ≥ 40 tons, and an argon blowing stopper rod and a double-blowing upper nozzle are used. The argon gas flow rates of the stopper rod and the upper nozzle are controlled according to 4 - 8 L / minute.
[0019] On the second aspect, the present invention provides an ultra-low manganese industrial pure iron prepared by the above method, with the following composition: Mn ≤ 0.015 %, Si ≤ 0.010 %, C ≤ 0.008 %, P ≤ 0.007 %, S ≤ 0.007 %, Cu ≤ 0.008 %, the content of gas impurity elements (nitrogen and oxygen) ≤ 4.3 ppm, the total content of the remaining elements is 3.5 ppm, and Fe ≥ 99.94 %.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the preparation method of ultra-low manganese industrial pure iron provided by the present invention, during blast furnace smelting, by adopting the blast furnace burden distribution method and the central coke charging method, the gas permeability and liquid permeability of the hearth can be improved, smooth operation can be promoted, which is beneficial to increasing production and saving coke; by controlling blast furnace smelting parameters such as blast furnace coke ratio, coal ratio, and fuel ratio, the furnace temperature stability rate can be greatly improved, so as to reduce the fuel consumption of the blast furnace, and at the same time, the cost of the steelmaking process can also be reduced. KR desulfurization can reduce sulfur elements and improve the purity of molten steel. Controlling the temperature of the hot metal entering the furnace provides reasonable physical heat guarantee for converter smelting; the converter oxygen supply adopts the method of staged oxygen supply, which reduces the overoxidation of molten steel and improves the purity of molten steel. LF refining + RH refining further reduces the manganese content to reach the level of industrial pure iron. The protective casting of the continuous caster can control the content of gas impurity elements (nitrogen and oxygen) ≤ 4.3 ppm.

The imported high-quality iron ore added has the following standard contents: MT (total moisture) ≤ 3.0 %, TFe ≥ 65 %, P ≤ 0.050 %, S ≤ 0.005 %, TiO2 ≤ 0.02 %, MnO ≤ 0.05 %. The quality control standards for the added coke are: A d ≤ 12.3 %, S t ,d ≤ 0.69 %, CSR ≥ 71 %, CRI is 20 % - 23 %, M 40 ≥ 87 %, M 10 ≤ 5.4 %, average particle size 45 - 50 mm. The quality control standards for the added sinter are: TFe ≥ 57.5 %, FeO 10.0 % - 10.5 %, RDI +315 mm ≥ 67 %, T ≥ 80 %, R2 is controlled at 1.90. Improve the stability rate of the quality of the raw fuels.
[0039] For the blast furnace hot metal, a low-silicon smelting method is adopted to ensure low silicon without low heat under the condition of long-term stable physical heat of the hot metal. For the control of the hot metal thermal regime, the physical heat is 1605 °C, the furnace slag basicity R2 is controlled according to 1.35 to inhibit the reduction of silicon. The blast furnace coke ratio is 339 kg / t, the coal ratio is 143 kg / t, the fuel ratio is 490 kg / t, and the blast volume is 7335 m3 per minute, oxygen enrichment rate 3.9%, blast temperature 1240 °C, and the tapped hot metal has w(Mn) 0.021% and w(Si) 0.038%.
[0040] (2)KR desulfurization The tapped hot metal is subjected to KR stirring and slag skimming for desulfurization. 3000 kg of desulfurizer is added and stirred for 15 minutes. After desulfurization of the hot metal, w(S) is 0.0015%, and after desulfurization, the slag is skimmed until 99% of the hot metal surface is bright.
[0041] (3)Converter smelting The hot metal from step (2) is charged into the converter. The amount of hot metal charged is 210 tons, and the temperature of the charged hot metal is 1380 °C. 40 tons of scrap steel is used, and there are no iron blocks mixed in the scrap steel. All high-quality steel plates without copper element are used. The converter uses a newly designed "5 + 1" hole Laval nozzle. The oxygen lance nozzle is arranged with 1 hole in the center and 5 equally spaced holes around it. The Mach number in the center is 2.06, and the Mach number of the 5 holes around is 2.07. In the first 3 minutes of the early stage of converter smelting, the oxygen flow rate is 21000 m 3 / h, the bottom blowing flow rate is 245 m 3 / h, the oxygen lance position is 2600 mm, 4000 kg of lime, 1500 kg of raw dolomite, and 1200 kg of mill scale are added to ensure slag formation as soon as possible in the early stage to accelerate the oxidation reaction. The large impact area of the high lance position oxygen jet enhances the stirring of the molten steel and slag, accelerating the oxidation of manganese in the early stage. At the 3rd minute, the lance is lifted to stop smelting, and slag is poured out to remove a large amount of MnO and P2O5 in the slag, ensuring the removal of most of the manganese elements and effective dephosphorization in the molten steel in the early stage. In the middle stage of converter smelting from 3 to 10 minutes, the oxygen flow rate is 48000 m 3 / h, the bottom blowing flow rate is 490 m 3 / h, the oxygen lance position is 2200 mm, 4000 kg of lime, 1000 kg of raw dolomite, and 800 kg of mill scale are added. The kinetic and thermodynamic conditions of the converter bath are sufficient. With the continuous progress of the oxidation reaction, the molten steel is stirred evenly and the bath temperature gradually rises, removing manganese, phosphorus, and residual sulfur elements in the molten steel. In the late stage of converter smelting from 10 to 12 minutes, the oxygen flow rate is 54000 m 3 / h, the bottom blowing flow rate is 330 m 3 / h, the oxygen lance position is 1800 mm, 500 kg of lime, 200 kg of raw dolomite, and 200 kg of mill scale are added. In the late stage of smelting, the bottom blowing flow rate is reduced to a weak stirring mode to prevent manganese elements from returning to the molten steel. At the same time, to prevent the reduction of the de-manganese rate under high temperature conditions, the converter end temperature is controlled at 1600 °C and the end oxygen activity is 0.090%, so as to ensure that at the end, w(Mn) ≤ 0.04%, w(Si) ≤ 0.010%, w(C) ≤ 0.04%, w(P) ≤ 0.005%, w(S) ≤ 0.007%, w(Cu) ≤ 0.008%.
[0042] (4)LF + RH refining LF refining, high - oxygen de - manganese, transfer - interval time is 23 minutes, the temperature of LF furnace at charging is 1525 °C. 450 kg of flux and 1000 kg of lime are added for the first heating, and the heating time is 7 minutes to ensure the fluidity of the slag. The flow rate of argon gas blown from the bottom of the ladle is 50 m 3 / h, and the stirring time is 5 minutes; 500 kg of lime is added for the second heating, the heating time is 5 minutes, the flow rate of argon gas blown from the bottom of the ladle is 50 m 3 / h, and the stirring time is 3 minutes. Utilize the high - oxidizing property of the molten steel at the end of the converter to further remove manganese elements in the LF refining furnace, and w(Mn) at the end of LF ≤ 0.020 %.
[0043] RH refining, deep de - manganese, transfer - interval time is 20 minutes. The set flow rate of the circulating gas for lifting in the early stage is 100 m 3 / h, and the set flow rate of the circulating gas for lifting in the middle and late stages is 100 m 3 / h, and the circulation time is 15 minutes. Oxygen is blown for temperature rise according to the oxygen - aluminum ratio of 1:1.3. After the temperature - rising ends, the vacuum degree is controlled below 0.25 kpa. To make the inclusions float up sufficiently, the time from the end of oxygen - blowing to breaking the vacuum is 11 minutes. For deep de - manganese, w(Mn) ≤ 0.015 %, and the tapping temperature is 1580 °C. 200 m of calcium wire is fed, the soft - blowing flow rate is 100 L / minute, and the soft - blowing time is 8 minutes.
[0044] (5)Continuous casting The continuous caster is protected by casting. The ladle - opening tonnage of the tundish is 43 tons. The argon - blowing stopper rod and double - blown upper nozzle are adopted, and the argon gas flow rates of the stopper rod and the upper nozzle are controlled at 6 L / minute.
[0045] The composition of the prepared ultra - low - manganese industrial pure iron is detected, and the specific results are as follows: w(Mn) 0.014 %, w(Si) 0.009 %, w(C) 0.007 %, w(P) 0.006 %, w(S) 0.006 %, w(Cu) 0.007 %. Among them, the content of gas impurity elements (nitrogen and oxygen) is 4.2 ppm, and the total content of the remaining elements is 3.4 ppm. The purity of the industrial pure iron is 99.95024 %.
