The invention discloses a high-efficiency and low-cost process for
smelting ultra-pure ferritic stainless steel, which comprises the following steps of: tapping after a
decarburization oxidation period in an AOD (
Argon Oxygen Decarburization) furnace
smelting stage, carrying out steel
slag mixing control on the tapping of the AOD furnace, only adding
lime in an
oxygen blowing
decarburization stage in the AOD furnace to neutralize SiO2 generated by
silicon oxidation, controlling the addition amount of the
lime to be 1.0-1.5, and controlling the total
slag amount to be less than or equal to 35kg / t steel; the steel
ladle is sequentially subjected to primary vacuum
oxygen blowing
decarburization and secondary vacuum reduction desulfurization in the VOD furnace, and the stirring strength of bottom
argon blowing of the primary vacuum
oxygen blowing decarburization is limited by pushing away the top
slag surface of the steel
ladle to achieve effective contact of oxygen and
molten steel; in secondary vacuum reduction desulfurization,
reducing agent consumption is calculated from the whole balance of
chromium in
molten steel and slag. According to the novel
smelting process, reduction is not carried out in the AOD furnace, the slag amount is reduced, the steel
ladle top slag skimming operation link behind the furnace is omitted, the production
rhythm is accelerated by 30-40 min, and the cost per
ton of steel is reduced by more than 120 yuan per
ton of steel.
