The method of boron steel producing converter smelting
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of iron and steel smelting, be specifically related to a kind of method of boron steel producing converter smelting.
Background technology
The adding of trace B in the steel; its objective is to improving the hardening capacity of steel; and for the production of boron steel; because the chemical property of boron is very active; in alloying process very easily with steel in element reaction such as oxygen, nitrogen, thereby cause the recovery rate of boron lower and recovery rate is unstable, therefore; for boron steel production, the metallargist is devoted to the research of boron alloy metallization processes for a long time always.
At present, the main production of boron steel comprises electric furnace and two kinds of technologies of converter, and is wherein more with eaf process research.Because there be one " reduction period " in the electrosmelting process, the oxygen level of slag and molten steel is low, is in good reducing atmosphere, and the recovery rate of boron is more easy to control relatively, but has the problem that recovery rate is low, fluctuation is big in actual production equally.As, " special steel " magazine (1992 the 13rd 5 phases of volume, P56~58) has been introduced Xining Steel Works's electric furnace and has been produced the 40MnB steel, adopts different methods to add ferro-boron and carries out alloying, and the boron rate of recovery fluctuates 10%~65%; Equally, " Liaoning metallurgy " magazine (1997 the 5th phases, P21~24) two kinds of boron alloy effects of comforting steel employing electric furnace production 40MnBH steel have been introduced, when adopting ladle to add FeB technology the boron recovery rate be 7.5%~87.5%, average 43.4%, the boron recovery rate is 23.5%~71.5%, average 50.9% when adopting ladle to feed FeB heart yearn technology; Problem at boron recovery rate in the boron steel production, the research of electrosmelting aspect the boron alloy metallization processes, obtained certain progress at present, as, " special steel " magazine (1997 the 18th 2 phases of volume, P30~32) ladle of having introduced Xining special steel company " 50t electric furnace-LF ladle furnace-die casting " technical process exploitation is fed B heart yearn technology, and the B average recovery rate is 85.0%.
But China Steel is produced most converter process that adopt at present, and the output of converter steelmaking reaches about 90% of ultimate production.Because the otherness of converter smelting and electrosmelting, some advanced technologies in the electric furnace production are difficult to be suitable in converter, therefore, certain research has been carried out at the process aspect of boron steel producing converter smelting in each this area in recent years, for example, application number is the explained hereafter boron steel that 03134895.5 Chinese patent discloses a kind of employing " desulfurizing iron is skimmed → top and bottom combined blown converter smelting → ladle deoxidation alloying → steel ladle bottom argon blowing refining; refining terminal point target oxygen activity 25 * 10-6~45 * 10-6 → feed Al; Si-Ca line; boron line → continuous casting ", boron content range 0.005%~0.012% in the steel, the recovery rate 40%~50% of boron; " steel research " magazine (2004 the 4th phases, P18~22) reported that Shoudu Iron and Steel Co adopts 80tLD converter → LF liquid steel refining, the control refining is arrived at a station oxygen activity less than (FeO+MnO)≤3.0% in 20 * 10-6, the slag → add Al, Ti, boron alloyization → billet continuous casting explained hereafter boron-containing steel, the average recovery rate 60% of B.Though, the technology of boron steel producing converter smelting is mature on the whole, but from the documents and materials of being reported, because the molten steel oxygen level is higher before the boron alloyization, be that deoxidation effect is relatively poor, the recovery rate of boron is generally on the low side, and low boron recovery rate often causes the boron content of Finished Steel to be lower than the steel grade requirement easily, brings very big difficulty to production.Simultaneously, low boron recovery rate is hanged down the oxide amount (B that means boron in the steel
2O
3) increase, and will reduce the hardening capacity of steel like this, thus the final performance of steel influenced.Therefore the method for the boron steel producing converter smelting that the molten steel oxygen level is low, the boron recovery rate is high after a kind of refining finishes is badly in need of developing in this area.
