In recent years, ultra-low carbon steel has been widely used in the manufacturing industries of electric appliances, electronic devices, automobiles, machinery, and the like, because of its excellent toughness, processability, electromagnetic properties, and the like. With the rapid increase of the demand of ultra-low carbon steel and the strict control requirement on the RH end-point carbon content, the research on the RH rapid deep decarburization has important significance.
Many researches show that the influence of the diffusion speed of carbon and oxygen in molten steel and the shape of carbon monoxide bubble on the decarburization rate is large, and the influence is more obvious especially under the low-carbon condition. According to experimental and practical production results, the decarburization rate can be improved and the end point carbon content can be reduced by reducing the vacuum degree and the vacuumizing speed, increasing the gas flow, increasing the oxygen content of the molten steel before RH treatment of the molten steel, selecting a proper pipe diameter of the dip pipe and the like, but the methods need to greatly change process parameters and equipment or influence the subsequent treatment process, and the operation difficulty is high.
