Background technology
Continuously cast bloom can be divided into slab, bloom, little square billet, circle base, special-shaped base etc. by section, and its medium and small square billet (refers to cross dimensions≤180 * 180mm
2Continuously cast bloom) strand produced of continuous casting, main for being rolled into kinds such as bar, wire rod, shaped steel, band steel, tubing.Stainless steel is common high quality steel, from metallographic structure, generally can be divided into austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, Martensite Stainless Steel and duplex stainless steel.
4Cr9Si Series Steel kind high carbon martensite stainless steel contains elements such as chromium, silicon, has hot strength and high temperature oxidation resistance preferably, and hardenability is higher, is fit to do the inlet valve of light duty engine or the valve rod of blast gate (gas valve steel).The air valve steel is an important branch of high temperature steel, is used to make all kinds of Diesel Engine's Air Valve, is the special-purpose exotic materials of making oil engine inlet and outlet door.The working conditions of air valve steel is extremely abominable, the corrosion that under the explosion pressure of 400~900 ℃ of high temperature, 3447.5~6895.0kPa, bear high temperature combustion gas such as gasoline, diesel oil for a long time with wash away, stand frequent high-speed motion and friction repeatedly and impact, load is big.This requires valve material that good heat resistance is arranged, thermohardening, and fatigue strength, wear resistance and anti-oxidant, erosion resistance, and require the linear expansivity of air valve steel little or the like.Therefore except requiring to use the special-purpose exotic materials, also require the steel clarity higher, surface quality is good.Since during using, generally need stand the air valve steel test of high temperature, repeated stock, very high to the requirement of material property.Basically all adopt die casting production when therefore, manufacturer both domestic and external produces similar steel grade.
The production technique of existing domestic analogous products mainly contains: Medium frequency induction+esr+steel rolling and electric furnace die casting+breaking down (forging) cogging+steel rolling.These technical process are long, the production cost height, and some can only be confined to small serial production, is difficult to mass-producing.The rolling technology of its wire rod is ripe relatively and stable, but also can find indivedual overlength oxide inclusion or oarse-grained point-like inclusion once in a while, therefore need improve the molten steel purity in smelting, and while control in solidifying improves the distribution of inclusion.Consider that die casting process also needs operations such as breaking down cogging, long flow path, therefore the production cost height is developed continuous small-billet casting and is directly had very important significance for rod rolling.
But, the continuous small-billet casting of martensitic steel generally only limits to 1Cr13,2Cr13 at present, and along with the rising of carbon content, the difficulty of control is just very high when [C]>0.20%, be mainly reflected in continuously cast bloom easily shape give birth to crackle, be easy to generate center segregation and defective such as loose.Continuous small-billet casting is that the loss of the ladle or the temperature drop of tundish is all bigger because section is little, and pulling rate is very fast, and the pouring time of every stove steel is longer, the difficult stable control of the quality of whole production and continuously cast bloom.And hot coefficient of the high temperature of Martensite Stainless Steel and plain carbon stool are completely different, and heat conduction is slow, the linear shrinkage amount forms thermal stresses greatly, easily and concentrates and crack.
Reduce crackle hidden danger, alleviate center porosity, segregation, only find, and the safety range of this speed of cooling is very narrow, is very easy to out industrial accident and quality accident at the rational speed of cooling of this steel grade.At present, at general high carbon steel, alleviate center porosity, segregation, adopt the method for " low temperature is cast fast " mostly, but for martensitic steel, such solution is bad as controlling, and pulling rate is fast, tends to cause produce fluctuation greatly, be easy to crack, therefore, stable control is difficult to, and effect is not often not clearly.
Concerning martensitic little square billet, also to solve the problem that the cooling stress in the continuously cast bloom rapid solidification is concentrated, the on-the-spot general method that adopts red base slow cooling (24 hours or more than), but for medium high carbon martensite, it also has the problem of a season stress, if grown storage period after the continuously cast bloom production slow cooling, remove heating rolling again, also be easy to generate crackle.
Because above factors, the similar production report of martensite air valve steel 4Cr9Si steel series continuous small-billet casting is few, also can't find similar production patented technology.Therefore, develop the mode of production of the high silicon Martensite Stainless Steel of a kind of high-carbon continuous small-billet casting,, improve product competitiveness, have great importance for reducing cost.
The objective of the invention is to develop a kind of high-carbon little square billet of high silicon Martensite Stainless Steel and manufacture method thereof, mode with " electric arc furnace fusing molten steel+AOD stove smelting+continuous small-billet casting ", by comprehensive adjustment to the control of steel grade composition, casting process parameter, produce and contain the little square billet of high-quality Martensite Stainless Steel for wire production, to replace die casting, enhance productivity, reduce cost, satisfy the customer requirements and the market requirement.

According to the inventive method, at first in electric arc furnace, press the stainless steel Returning blowing keto technique, starting material such as returns, alloy, auxiliary material are melted refining just; Carry out the melting of stainless steel molten steel then at the AOD stove, smelt the high silicon Martensite Stainless Steel of the qualified high-carbon of composition molten steel; Carry out the production of continuous casting at last, be cast into qualified little square billet, for being rolled into wire rod.Concrete technology is as follows:
EAF: when smelting required starting material such as returns, alloy and auxiliary material batching, starting material carbon content unrestricted (because of AOD has good decarburization effect) is used high carbon alloy as far as possible, reduces smelting cost (low C Chrome metal powder cost is much higher than high C Chrome metal powder); Fusing refining just is by general stainless steel Returning blowing keto technique operation; Draw slag whole before the tapping, guarantee slag free tapping; Tapping temperature: T 〉=1630 ℃.
AOD: omnidistance Argon; Add lime according to [Si] content in the molten steel, lime adding amount=(3.2~4.0) * G * [Si] (G is a steel-making molten steel in the stove weight); Ar, O mix and to add alloy when blowing to T 〉=1660 ℃; To [C]≤0.35%, stop oxygen blast, the Argon reduction; Prereduction time 5~10min changes slag operation according to terminal point [S] content, reduction, tapping control [S] content<0.005%.Smelt the qualified Martensite Stainless Steel molten steel of composition and purity in the AOD stove, the weight percent composition of its molten steel is: C:0.41~0.47%; Si:2.80~3.20%; Mn:0.50~0.80%; Cr:8.50~9.20%; Ni :≤0.30%; P :≤0.028%; S :≤0.005%; All the other are Fe and impurity element.For guaranteeing the molten steel purity, control requires as follows to residual element especially:
The bull ladle temperature is: 1520~1525 ℃ of continuous casting first bags, 1515~1520 ℃ of the attendants of a stage actor.
Key of the present invention is the control of composition and residual element and the stable control in the casting process.Continuous casting production needs molten steel that purity and flowability are preferably arranged, and to effectively improve the continuously cast bloom center mass, it is necessary reducing superheating temperature, but pulling rate should be controlled, but low temperature " knot plug " for fear of continuous casting, molten steel flow is again crucial, improve molten steel flow, just must improve the molten steel purity.
CCM: adopt integrated approachs such as improving molten steel purity (control residual element and gas, inclusion), the low pulling rate controlled chilling speed of low temperature, red base annealing, effectively realize the continuous casting production of this steel grade.
25 ℃~35 ℃ of superheating temperature controls are striven≤30 ℃.Tundish adopts magnesia tundish, open water before baking require: shell 〉=100 ℃, hold-time 〉=30min.Unwrap greatly and water, tundish weight 〉=4 ton hours is added the insulation of special stainless steel insulating covering agent and MgO matter tundish covering flux.Tundish weight 〉=6 ton hours, thermometric, the centre is unwrapped and is watered.Add the special crystallizer covering slag, performance requriements: basicity 0.85~0.95,1090~1110 ℃ of fusing points, viscosity 1.6~2.8dpa.S.
The reasonable disposition of the pouring temperature link that is absolutely necessary, it involves the control of initial solidification quality.The design of special crystallizer covering slag has guaranteed the surface quality and the casting stability of little square billet, reduces bleed-out.
Also depend on vibration mode because covering slag flows into, the mold oscillation mode is selected for use among the present invention: amplitude 6mm, and (wherein V is a pulling rate to frequency=(140~the 150) * V that shakes, m/min; Pulling rate useful range in the formula: 0.6~1.8m/min) inferior/minute; Adopt the non-sinusoidal oscillation curve, the mathematics correlated expression formula of waveform correlation D (t) position is:
Vibration rising cycle: D (t)=3*Sin (143* π * f*t)
Vibration decline cycle: D (t)=3*Sin (pi/2+333* π * f* (t-T))
In the formula, f is the frequency of vibration, 1/min; T is constantly, s; T changes the moment that descends, s for rising.
Vibration control is a gordian technique in the inventive method, because the initial base shell of high carbon martensite is inhomogeneous easily, is easy to generate stress concentration, and it is again the responsive steel grade of crackle, therefore to covering slag select for use, vibration control, pulling rate etc. all have strict demand.
Pulling rate control: corresponding pulling rate 1.1m/min~1.6m/min; This is a kind of at Martensite Stainless Steel and the general different control key of austenitic stainless steel, can effectively guarantee the measure of continuous casting billet quality necessary technology.Its pulling rate control principle: the superheating temperature that this steel grade is same, should be slower 10%~20% under the high pulling rate than austenitic stainless steel, under this pulling rate controlling valu, could guarantee the solidified structure performance.
Under the prerequisite of the method for bag temperature fluctuation, the present invention adopts " low temperature, low pulling rate " control method, has optimized every processing parameter, adopts weak cold system, evenly controlled chilling speed on the decrease.The control pulling rate can guarantee the solidified structure performance.
Cooling intensity: owing to adopted the casting pattern of the low pulling rate of low temperature, the present invention selects the type of cooling of " weak cold " for use, and two cold specific waters choose 0.28~0.32 liter of/kilogram steel, and so neither easy bleed-out also can alleviate the phenomenon that the generation thermal stresses is concentrated; Easily produce the characteristic of transformation stress at the martensite low temperature phase change, when continuous casting, special three water-cool control subregions (sufficient roller one district at two cool regions, mobile Duan Er district, canned paragraph three districts) optimize and revise on the mass area ratio, the ratio of originally common 304 austenitic stainless steels, three district's water yields is 30%: 40%: 30%, after taking into full account the steel grade characteristic now, by the test comparison, finally drawing the optimization proportioning is 35%: 38%: 27%, so relatively meet the hot rerum natura condition of the high temperature as cast condition of Martensite Stainless Steel, finally can access inner preferably as-cast structure.
The coagulating property of the high silicon martensite of high-carbon steel grade, its plasticity under the condition of high temperature is similar with austenite, and temperature low after just relatively be easy to generate crackle, therefore, different cooling ratios is adopted in the different zones of solidifying, and can effectively guarantee continuous casting billet quality.
Hot annealing: continuously cast bloom enters burial pit at once behind the collection base.Simultaneously burial pit is transformed, in the hole, increased electrically heated device, can be used as special-purpose hot base annealing furnace.After the strand of red heat gets off from line, be transported to hot base annealing furnace at once.Simultaneously through overtesting, make the steel grade annealing curve after the optimization: the instant heating base is heated to 700 ℃, cools to 600 ℃ with the furnace, and the air cooling of coming out of the stove after being cooled to 400 ℃ again cracks.Can solve such steel grade like this and be easy to generate the problem that cooling stress is concentrated, improve the quality of continuously cast bloom.Red base is carried out annealing process after the ejection, has guaranteed slab quality effectively.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is:
1, production operation is simple;
2, can stablize the quality of control continuously cast bloom, satisfy the confession base requirement of the high silicon Martensite Stainless Steel of high-carbon material;
3, thoroughly suppress the ubiquitous defective that is prone to crackle and stress concentration in the casting of high carbon martensite stainless steel;
4, the recovery rate and the quality of stability of Martensite Stainless Steel casting have been improved greatly.
