Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of steel smelting, and particularly relates to a high-nickel ultra-low-phosphorus special welding steel and a production process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current rapid development of high-end manufacturing, the performance requirements for welding steel are increasingly stringent. Conventional welding steels generally have problems of high phosphorus content (usually higher than 0.010%) and low nickel content (generally lower than 1.0%), which leads to poor low-temperature toughness and insufficient corrosion resistance of the material, and a large amount of smoke and spatter is easily generated during the welding process, and the purity of the weld metal is difficult to meet the use requirements in extreme environments.

[0003] At present, the high-nickel ultra-low-phosphorus special welding steel required in high-end fields has long relied on imports, and the existing production process in China has the following core problems: first, it is difficult to control the ultra-low phosphorus (P≤0.005%), and the traditional process needs multiple refining and temperature raising, and if the temperature control is not proper and the slag on the surface of the molten steel is not cleaned, the phosphorus element is easily returned; second, it is difficult to achieve the coordination of high-nickel composition and ultra-low phosphorus requirements, and impurities are easily introduced during the alloy adding process; third, the production cycle is long, and the conventional process needs converter smelting→LF refining and temperature raising→slag cleaning→secondary refining, which is complicated and high in energy consumption. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application proposes a special welding steel production process capable of stably controlling the ultra-low phosphorus content and ensuring the uniformity of high-nickel composition to solve the problem of dependence on imports of high-end welding materials in China, aiming at the technical problems of difficult control of ultra-low phosphorus and long production cycle of the existing production process for high-nickel ultra-low-phosphorus special welding steel in China.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: A high-nickel ultra-low-phosphorus special welding steel, the chemical composition of which is as follows in terms of mass percentage: C 0.05%-0.08%, Si 0.55%-0.70%, Mn 1.35%-1.50%, P≤0.005%, S≤0.010%, Ni 2.35%-2.50%, Cr≤0.05%, Ti 0.04%-0.07%, Mo 0.06%-0.09%, N≤60ppm, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0006] As a preferred option, the chemical composition is as follows in terms of mass percentage: C 0.058%-0.062%, Si 0.60%-0.65%, Mn 1.40%-1.42%, P≤0.004%, S≤0.005%, Ni 2.40%-2.45%, Cr≤0.02%, Ti 0.060%-0.065%, Mo 0.07%-0.082%, N≤40ppm, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0007] The application also provides a production process of the high-nickel ultra-low-phosphorus special welding steel. (1) Pretreatment of molten iron: KR desulfurization process is adopted, and the sulfur content of the treated molten iron is less than or equal to 0.005%; (2) Converter smelting: the phosphorus content at the end point of the converter is less than or equal to 0.012%, and the end point temperature is greater than or equal to 1610 DEG C; the tapping is performed by using a stopper and a slide plate, and when the tapping amount reaches 30 tons, 800 kg of lime and 800 kg of oxidizing slag dephosphorization agent are added; after the tapping, the ladle is stirred by bottom blowing argon at 400-500 NL / min for 1-2 minutes, and then 100 kg of lime thick slag is added; (3) Post-furnace slagging: the ladle car is opened to the ladle position, and the floating slag on the surface of the molten iron is mechanically removed to ensure that the surface of the molten iron has no obvious floating slag; (4) LF refining: after the slagging treatment, the molten iron is lifted to the LF furnace for refining, 800-900 kg of lime and 200-300 kg of fluorite are added to form slag, so that the refining slag has a certain fluidity and the ability to absorb inclusions, the first power supply is performed for 15 minutes, the phosphorus content in the primary refined molten iron is detected, and low-phosphorus primary refined molten iron is obtained; when the phosphorus content is less than or equal to 0.003%, a low-phosphorus alloy is added to adjust the composition, and at the end of the refining, a low-aluminum and low-nitrogen titanium wire is fed, and soft blowing is performed for 10-15 minutes, so that the low-phosphorus molten iron is finally obtained; (5) Continuous casting: the molten iron is lifted to the continuous casting machine for casting, and the overheat degree during casting is 15-25 DEG C, and the pulling speed is 0.8-1.0 m / min.

[0008] Preferably, the oxidizing slag dephosphorization agent in step (2) is composed of CaO and FeO in a mass ratio of 3.8:1, wherein CaO provides a high alkalinity environment, FeO acts as an oxidizing agent, and the ratio of 3.8:1 can maximize the improvement of the dephosphorization reaction kinetics; if the phosphorus content at the end point of the converter is higher than 0.012%, the ratio of lime to oxidizing slag dephosphorization agent is adjusted to 1.2:1 to further enhance the ability of the slag phase to absorb phosphorus and avoid the return of phosphorus.

[0009] Preferably, the phosphorus content of the low-phosphorus alloy in step (4) is less than or equal to 0.003%, the titanium content of the low-aluminum and low-nitrogen titanium wire is greater than or equal to 65%, and the nitrogen content is less than or equal to 200 ppm.

[0010] Preferably, the low-phosphorus alloy in step (4) is micro-aluminum ferrosilicon, metal manganese, nickel plate and molybdenum iron.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the application has the advantages and positive effects that: (1) The production process of the high-nickel ultra-low-phosphorus special welding steel is through the synergistic process of "converter endpoint phosphorus control + dephosphorizing agent added during tapping + bottom argon blowing stirring", dephosphorizing agent is added during tapping, and the phosphorus content is reduced to below 0.003% during the tapping stage of the converter by using the stirring dephosphorizing technology under the tapping kinetic condition, so that the problem of phosphorus return in the traditional process is solved.

[0012] (2) The step of "first LF refining and temperature raising after converter tapping and then slagging" is omitted, and the production cycle is shortened, and the energy consumption and alloy loss are reduced; low-phosphorus alloy and low-aluminum low-nitrogen titanium wire are used, combined with KR desulfurization and double-slagging operation, to realize accurate control of S≤0.010%, N≤60ppm, and Ni 2.35%-2.50%, and to ensure the stability of high-nickel and ultra-low-phosphorus composition. The production process provides reliable process guarantee for realizing ultra-low-phosphorus steel smelting and improving the continuous casting production furnace number, and effectively solves the industry problem of difficult smelting of such steel.
