Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel metallurgy, and more particularly to a process method for alloying smelting of ultra-low-temperature high-manganese steel. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the best candidate material for LNG tank preparation, the efficient and low-cost smelting process of ultra-low-temperature high-manganese steel (22% to 30% of the mass percentage of Mn element) has been a research hotspot. However, there are two technical bottlenecks in the smelting process: first, the serious temperature drop problem of manganese element alloying, the melting heat absorption of manganese iron alloy (FeMn) is as high as 300-400 kJ / kg, and the serious temperature drop of molten steel caused by the traditional experience of adding Mn alloy in batches will significantly reduce the smelting efficiency; second, the uncontrollable volatilization of manganese element in high-temperature molten steel, the saturation vapor pressure of Mn element at high temperature is relatively high, and it is relatively easy to volatilize, resulting in low recovery rate of Mn element alloying, and the Mn vapor is toxic, not only causing certain pollution to the environment, but also affecting the health of the operators. For a long time, the design of metallurgical equipment and the optimization of metallurgical process are the main direction to break through the technical bottleneck of high-manganese steel alloying, such as POSCO in South Korea, which uses the PosLM (POSCO Liquid Manganese) equipment to produce high-manganese steel by using molten manganese iron alloy (FeMn) for the first time, which shortens the smelting time of high-manganese steel by half; and the method for smelting high-manganese steel in a converter (CN202310548812.9) of China Shougang, which adds carbon balls and high-carbon manganese iron in stages according to the oxygen blowing amount in the converter smelting process, reduces the investment of alloy heating furnace and other equipment through process optimization, and reduces the production cost of high-manganese steel. However, starting from the balance point of production efficiency and production cost of high-manganese steel billet, there are still many places that need to be considered comprehensively, such as the capital investment of new equipment, the energy consumption of high-manganese steel smelting, and the erosion of the refractory material in the converter. The present application mainly optimizes the metallurgical process, designs a multi-batch alloying smelting process with gradient temperature control of molten steel in the LF furnace, reduces energy consumption, and solves the temperature drop problem of Mn element alloying; at the same time, a CaO-BaO-Li2O-Al2O3-CaF2-MgO-Ce2O3-based self-sealing slag system is designed to reduce the volatilization of Mn element in molten steel; and combined with the optimization of bottom blowing process, the high-recovery alloying smelting of ultra-low-temperature high-manganese steel is realized. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned defects in the existing technology and provide a process for alloying high-manganese steel at ultra-low temperature. The smelting and preparation process includes hot metal pretreatment, converter smelting, LF refining, and continuous casting. After tapping from the converter, alloying smelting of high-manganese steel with a mass percentage of 20%-30% is completed in the LF furnace. Through gradient temperature multi-batch alloying smelting, in conjunction with a CaO-BaO-Li2O-Al2O3-CaF2-MgO-Ce2O3-based self-sealing slag system that inhibits the volatilization of Mn element in the molten steel and the slag / molten steel interface reaction, and combined with CO2-Ar mixed gas injected into the ladle through the bottom blowing permeable brick in the form of pulse injection, high-yield alloying smelting of ultra-low temperature high-manganese steel is achieved. Moreover, this method is completed entirely in the LF furnace, and the molten steel does not subsequently undergo RH / VD vacuum treatment, avoiding the risk of Mn element volatilization caused by the vacuum environment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A process for alloying high-manganese steel at ultra-low temperatures includes hot metal pretreatment, converter smelting, LF refining, and continuous casting.

[0006] In the LF refining process, the molten steel after converter smelting is transferred to the LF furnace at an inlet temperature of 1600-1620°C for LF refining treatment; wherein the LF refining treatment includes a first stage, a second stage, a third stage and a fourth stage.

[0007] In the first stage, after the molten steel is smelted in the converter, pre-melted slag balls and aluminum particles are added into the LF furnace. The oxygen content in the molten steel is controlled to be ≤20ppm. Then, preheated ferromanganese with a mass percentage of 20% to 30% is added. After the preheated ferromanganese is added for 1.5 to 2 minutes, the temperature of the molten steel is measured. When the detected temperature of the molten steel is lower than the set first target temperature T1, electrode heating is used to compensate for the temperature. The electrode heating power P is determined according to formula (1). The molten steel is heated to the first target temperature T1 by the electrode heating power P. The target characteristic depth of electrode heating is 1.1 to 1.2 times the actual molten pool depth. The feeding rate is 0.6 to 2t / min. Argon gas is blown from the bottom to control the final Al mass percentage to be ≤0.05%. The pre-melted slag balls are CaO-BaO-Li2O-Al2O3-CaF2-MgO-Ce2O3 slag system.

[0008] In the second stage, after the molten steel in the converter smelting process is fed and heated by electrodes in the first stage, aluminum particles are added after the temperature is replenished to T1.

Then, preheated ferromanganese with a mass percentage of 10%-20% is added. After the preheated ferromanganese is added for 1.5-2 minutes, the temperature of the molten steel is measured. When the detected temperature of the molten steel is lower than the set third target temperature T3, electrode heating is used to supplement the temperature. The electrode heating power P is determined according to formula (1), and the molten steel is heated to the third target temperature T3 by the electrode heating power P. The target characteristic depth of electrode heating is 0.6-0.8 times the actual molten pool depth, and the feeding rate is 0.3-1t / min. After adding the aluminum particles, CO2-Ar mixed gas is injected into the ladle through the bottom blower permeable brick in the form of pulse jet. The final Al mass percentage is controlled to be ≤0.07%.

[0010] In the fourth stage, after the molten steel in the converter is smelted, it is fed and heated by electrodes in the third stage. After the temperature is replenished to T3, the blowing gas is stopped, the power is cut off, and it is left to stand for 5 to 30 minutes. The oxygen content at the end point is controlled to be ≤15ppm and Mn is 20% to 30%.
