In the invention, the technical conception of controlling silicate inclusions in axle steel in the smelting process is as follows:
firstly, utilizing the characteristic of eccentric bottom of smelting electric furnace, controlling the electric furnace to be rich in SiO during tapping of the electric furnace 2 The slag flows into a ladle, lime, synthetic slag and silicon-manganese alloy are added along with the steel flow to carry out coarse adjustment on the molten steel components, and meanwhile, a certain amount of aluminum balls are added to carry out aluminum precipitation deoxidization after the furnace. The adding amount of the aluminum pellets is a control link, and the adding amount of the aluminum pellets is controlled to be 1.5-2.3 kg/ton of steel. If the addition amount is small, the oxidation of the silicon component in the coarse adjustment of the component cannot be sufficiently restrained; excessive addition amount can cause Al in steel 2 O 3 The number of inclusions increases.
And secondly, preparing fluorine-free high-alkalinity reducing slag in a refining stage, and deoxidizing the whole aluminum in a smelting process. The components of the refining slag system are as follows: caO: 45-56%, mgO:8 to 12 percent of Al 2 O 3 :22~35%,SiO 2 : 2-8%, and slag system binary alkalinity R (CaO/SiO) 2 ) And is more than or equal to 8. Two points in the control link are required to be controlled with emphasis: (1) al in slag system 2 O 3 The content of Al in the slag system is controlled to be less than or equal to 35 percent, preferably 22 to 30 percent 2 O 3 The excessive content can lead to the increase of the number of D-type or Ds-type inclusions in the steel; al in slag system 2 O 3 If the content is too low, the viscosity of the slag is high, which is unfavorable for the slag to adsorb the floating inclusion in the steel. (2) Slag system basicity R (CaO/SiO) 2 ) More than or equal to 8, and the alkalinity R is preferably 8-15, so as to be favorable for fully absorbing a small amount of SiO produced in steel by CaO 2
Thirdly, the alloying sequence of the silicon element and the content ratio of aluminum to silicon are controlled. In the LF ladle refining stage, after the molten steel is fully deoxidized by aluminum, when the free oxygen content in the molten steel is less than 4 multiplied by 10 -6 Then go throughAlloying silicon element. At this time, the molten steel has a low free oxygen content and a certain aluminum content, and oxidation of silicon during component adjustment can be suppressed, thereby avoiding silicate production. Control [%Al in molten steel at this stage] / [%Si]The content is kept at 15-20%.
Fourthly, the molten steel is subjected to VD vacuum treatment, argon soft stirring is required for more than 20 minutes, and inclusions in the molten steel are promoted to float upwards and are adsorbed by slag. After smelting, the [%Al ]/[%Si ] in the molten steel is kept at 5% -15%.
Due to the adoption of aluminum deoxidation, in order to avoid Al in the steel 2 O 3 The inclusions are aggregated to form large-particle inclusions, and the inclusions must be treated with a calcium wire to form Al in the steel 2 O 3 The dispersion and denaturation treatment are carried out to convert the calcium aluminate into small-sized and spherical calcium aluminate inclusions with low melting point.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) The invention mainly adopts an eccentric bottom electric furnace for smelting, can prevent oxidizing slag in molten steel in the electric furnace from flowing into a ladle during tapping, adds a strong deoxidizer aluminum pill along with the steel flow for deoxidizing during tapping, and adds a certain amount of lime, dolomite and synthetic slag into the ladle for secondary slagging.
(2) During ladle refining, a fluorine-free high-alkalinity refining slag system is adopted, the aluminum content in steel is controlled to be about 0.060%, the dissolved oxygen in steel is about 0.0004%, and at the moment, silicon component adjustment is carried out; has good adsorption effect on SiO2 deoxidized products in steel.
(3) The invention adopts technical measures such as tapping operation, refining slag system control, optimized alloying sequence, al-Si content control and the like, controls the generation of silicate with larger harm in the axle steel, improves the steel purity of the axle steel, and tests that the silicate inclusion (C type) in the axle steel is below 0.5 level, and mainly takes D type or Ds type inclusion with smaller harm as a main part.
