TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the alloy steel smelting technical field, especially to a short process smelting method of alloy steel. BACKGROUND
[0002] The alloy content of medium alloy steel is 5%~10%, generally alloy preheating or alloy induction furnace heating is adopted, after the end of the electric furnace smelting, primary alloying is carried out in the ladle during the tapping process, and secondary alloying is carried out again when the ladle refining reaches the next process, and finally continuous casting is carried out after vacuum degassing treatment. The existing alloying technology has the following problems: (1) poor alloy component uniformity: due to the high alloy content of medium alloy steel, a large amount of alloy needs to be added at one time during the alloying process of the electric furnace tapping process, resulting in uneven distribution of alloy components in the molten steel, and the molten steel in the ladle is also prone to form a temperature gradient, and even the molten steel at the bottom of the ladle is prone to form cold steel, making smelting difficult and prolonging the refining time. (2) heavy burden on the refining process: two-step alloying is adopted in the post-furnace and refining process, and due to the large amount of alloying, the burden on the refining process is also increased, causing difficulties in refining production, mainly reflected in long heating time, large power consumption, and serious impact on the metallurgical function of refining (i.e. deoxidation, desulfurization and removal of inclusions). (3) serious inclusion problem: two-step alloying makes it difficult to effectively remove the oxygen brought in by the alloy in the molten steel, and the inclusions produced are dispersedly distributed in the molten steel, reducing the quality and performance of the steel. In addition, in order to improve the alloy uniformity, large amount of argon stirring is required during smelting, which is prone to cause slag rolling phenomenon, seriously affecting the cleanliness of the molten steel. (4) heavy reliance on equipment: at present, medium alloy steel cannot be produced by short process, and external alloy baking, preheating, induction furnace and other equipment must be used, increasing the equipment investment cost.
[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a short process smelting method for medium alloy steel, which realizes efficient and low-consumption smelting of medium alloy steel without increasing equipment investment, improves the alloy recovery rate, and improves the quality of molten steel. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a short process smelting method of medium alloy steel, which realizes efficient production of medium alloy steel by primary alloying through carbon powder injection and other methods in the later stage of electric furnace smelting without increasing equipment investment, adopts three-step alloying method, and the alloy recovery rate is more than 95%.

[0097] Large argon stirring is required during refining, and the stirring time is long, which causes slag entrapment. At the same time, the heating time of the refining process is long, and the power consumption is about 20% higher than that of the implementation.
[0098] S4, the refined molten steel is cast to obtain low alloy steel 3Cr.
[0099] It is found that there are many inclusions in the molten steel, which seriously affects the quality of the steel, and the product that meets the standard requirements of medium alloy steel cannot be smelted (such as the alloy yield cannot be calculated due to the phenomenon of slag entrapment).
[0100] Verification test The inclusions of the refined molten steel / three times alloyed molten steel prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 are tested according to the standard GB / T 13298-2015, and the results are shown in Table 1. The metallographic structure of the medium alloy steel prepared in Examples 1-2, 5 and Comparative Example 1 is analyzed, and the results are shown in Table 2. Figs. 1-4
[0101] Table 1 Inclusion rating results of refined molten steel / three times alloyed molten steel
[0102] As can be seen from the table and the figure, compared with the prior art which can only smelt low alloy steel (such as 3Cr) and has poor smelting effect, the medium alloy steel prepared by the short process smelting medium alloy steel method provided by the present application has excellent product performance, is suitable for smelting medium alloy steel, the alloy yield can reach 94.8%, the inclusions A / B / C / D of the molten steel are all below 2.0 level, the purity of the alloy steel is high, and the demand of high-end users is met.
[0103] The above merely provides the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement or improvement made in the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
