Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel chip pressing additive technology, specifically a steel chip pressing belt synchronous adding device. Background Technology

[0002] In order to control costs, steel mills are increasingly focusing on briquette scrap, made from steel chips, shavings, welding slag, granulated steel, and iron-containing slag, when selecting scrap for converters. Some steel mills even add more than 20% steel chips or shavings to their long-process scrap briquettes. However, due to factors such as converter heat balance, further increasing the scrap ratio has become quite difficult.

[0003] In electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, to reduce costs, the scrap materials used in EAFs are mostly medium scrap and sheared scrap. This is because EAFs primarily rely on electrodes to melt scrap, and heavy scrap requires a long melting time, resulting in higher costs. Additionally, EAFs tend to prefer high-carbon materials, and steel mills throughout the entire process may add a certain proportion of molten iron to the EAF based on economic considerations. As the proportion of molten iron in steel mills decreases, the proportion of scrap steel in EAF smelting further increases, posing greater challenges to the heat and time requirements for melting the molten pool.

[0004] To increase the scrap steel ratio in smelting, the traditional method of adding carbon-based materials to converters involves injecting or adding powdered or granular carbon into the furnace. The method used in electric arc furnaces is similar. The biggest advantage of this method is its ease of operation and low cost. However, because the carbon-based materials are added in bulk, some of the fuel rises directly to the surface of the molten steel and burns off before it enters the molten pool through carburizing or combustion, thus reducing the yield of the carbon-based materials, limiting their contribution to the furnace heat, and resulting in significant waste.

[0005] Adding too much briquettes during the steelmaking process can lead to insufficient heat. In addition, the briquettes contain a lot of iron oxides, which can cause a more intense oxidation reaction in the converter after adding more steel shavings briquettes. This can even cause problems such as splashing, which affect production and the environment, and also affect the metal yield of the briquettes.

[0006] Existing technologies, such as CN202311669832.8, describe a method for producing rapidly melting steel shavings or steel chip cakes, which proposes adding additives to the steel shavings or steel chip cakes to improve their performance in smelting scrap steel.

[0007] Currently, in the experimental stage, the additives needed for pressing individual steel chips or shavings can be added to the pressing chamber manually or carried into the pressing chamber along with the steel chips or shavings. However, in the actual production stage, there is no efficient way to add them in the existing technology.

[0008] In addition, additives are usually in powder form. However, if they are not fully mixed with steel chips or shavings during the addition process, the additive powder in the pressed steel chip or shavings cake will not be dispersed enough, which will reduce the performance of subsequent scrap steel smelting.
