The invention discloses a method for
smelting titanium-containing
austenitic stainless steel through a slagging process, and belongs to the technical field of stainless steel
smelting. The method comprises two core procedures of AOD converter
smelting and LF refining. In the AOD converter stage, the oxidation content of
chromium is controlled to be smaller than or equal to 0.8%, the
silicon content after reduction is larger than 1.2%, slagging-off operation is executed to enable the
slag thickness to be smaller than or equal to 100 mm, and clean
molten steel is provided for subsequent procedures. In the LF refining stage, the key point is that a specific slagging process is adopted, specifically,
fluorite,
lime and refining
slag are sequentially added, the bottom blowing
argon flow is controlled to be 200-300 L / min, and a bypass is forbidden to be used; and then an aluminum wire is fed to accurately control the aluminum content of the
molten steel to be 0.035%-0.045%, finally
titanium alloying is conducted at the temperature of 1570-1575 DEG C, and the
titanium content is controlled to be 0.30%-0.32%. Through systematic control, the Ti content and the
TiN inclusions of the
molten steel are accurately controlled, the problems of
flocculation at a
continuous casting nozzle, 'fish formation 'of a crystallizer and surface defects of a plate blank are effectively solved, smooth
casting is guaranteed, the product quality is improved, and the number of
continuous casting furnaces is increased.
