According to the components of the refining slag system, the bearing steel refining slag is divided into acid slag and alkaline slag. Under the condition of the current stage, when the bearing steel is smelted by LF, the high-alkalinity refining slag is generally most beneficial to reducing dissolved oxygen in the steel, and has the strongest desulfurization capability, but the punctiform inclusions of the high-alkalinity refining slag reach 0.9 level; the lowest forming possibility of punctiform inclusions is achieved when low-alkalinity slag of about 2.0 is adopted, the invention takes the reduction of oxide inclusions in steel as an important purpose, and the research and analysis of the refining slag of bearing steel show that the use of high-alkalinity refining slag (CaO/SiO2 is 4.6-5.2) is most beneficial to the reduction of dissolved oxygen in steel, has the strongest desulfurization capability and reduces the harm of punctiform inclusions to the service life of a bearing.
The casting powder of the invention can not be reduced or Al2O3 can not be reduced when contacting molten steel because the casting powder can be combined with CaO, BaO and the like into stable compounds even if Al2O3 exists in the casting powder, and the reduction of Al2O3 can not occur when oxides with high activity such as Fe2O3, MnO and SiO2 exist, so that the lubricating requirement is met, the casting blank surface casting powder layer is uniform, no slag ring exists in a crystallizer, the casting blank has no slag inclusion, no drawing leakage and no aluminum increase phenomenon in steel, and the casting powder of the invention can not increase aluminum in molten steel.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the production process of high-quality bearing steel features that the raw materials and production process are strictly controlled to make the large-size inclusion (more than 10 microns in diameter) be fully polymerized by collision and discharged from molten steel, so promoting the inclusion in steel to float upward fully, increasing molten steel cleanliness, controlling the large-size inclusion and increasing steel fatigue performance, and because of the better titanium-removing condition in converter, the titanium content in molten steel is only 6 × 10-6This is a low titanium bearing steelThe production of (2) provides good molten steel conditions;
2. the castability of molten steel is good, the content of aluminum is properly controlled, and the total oxygen is further reduced.
