This invention relates to a refining method for reducing the aluminum content in aluminum-deoxidized
rare earth steel, belonging to the field of iron and steel metallurgical technology. It solves the technical problem of high risk of
nozzle blockage during
continuous casting when using aluminum deoxidation in existing
rare earth steel refining processes. The refining method for reducing the aluminum content in aluminum-deoxidized
rare earth steel includes the following steps: Step S1: When tapping from the converter, aluminum and low-
silicon barium ferroalloy are added to the
molten steel for deoxidation, and
lime, magnesia-containing, and
alumina-containing
slag are added to the
slag surface; Step S2: When entering the LF
ladle furnace,
lime,
barium oxide-containing, magnesia-containing, and
sodium oxide-containing
slag are added to the slag surface to create white slag; aluminum particles and low-
silicon barium ferroalloy are added simultaneously for deoxidation, and alloying is performed during the middle stage of white slag formation; after white slag formation, soft blowing treatment is performed; Step S3: During RH vacuum degassing refining, no
alloy is added, and rare earth
ferroalloy is added at the end of the vacuum treatment, and soft blowing is performed when exiting the RH furnace. This invention achieves the purpose of suppressing
nozzle turbulence and reduces the frequency of
nozzle replacement.
