Description

Vacuum induction melting desulfurization process for alloy steel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of alloy steel desulfurization, and particularly relates to a vacuum induction melting desulfurization process for alloy steel.
Background
The sulfur element is regarded as an impurity element for most steel grades, and the steel grade has high sulfur element content and increased sulfide inclusion, so that the impact toughness and the corrosion resistance of the material are reduced. Therefore, in the production of such steel sections, control of the sulfur element is required as low as possible.
According to market demands, high-strength steel, high-purity stainless steel and high-purity die steel are all produced by adopting a smelting process of vacuum induction smelting and vacuum consumable remelting at present. Because the vacuum consumable remelting can not have the desulfurization capability like electroslag remelting, the vacuum induction melting desulfurization effect is poor, and when the materials are produced according to a double-vacuum melting process in the industry, a means of selecting low-sulfur raw materials is adopted to control the sulfur content of finished products. However, low sulfur feedstocks are expensive, resulting in high material costs for the process. Therefore, it is a main research direction how to perform desulfurization in vacuum induction melting.

The method needs repeated freezing and air-releasing treatment, the operation is complex, and the calcium oxide crucible has the defects of easy hydration and easy cracking.
