By controlling the molten steel temperature at the end point of the converter and the contents of C and O in the molten steel and modifying the slag in combination with the end of tapping, the molten steel temperature and C, O content in the molten steel when the RH vacuum treatment process enters the station can be stabilized, oxygen blowing in the RH vacuum treatment process can be reduced, and the phenomenon that alloy loss is large due to the fact that the O content is too high when decarburization in the RH vacuum treatment process is ended can be avoided.

Preferably, the addition amount of the low-aluminum slag surface deoxidizer is 0.5-1.5 kg/t, the bottom blowing flow of the ladle during deoxidization is 200-500 NL/min, and the deoxidization treatment time is 3-5 min.
(2) RH vacuum treatment
Vacuum degassing and inclusion removal treatment are carried out by adopting RH circulation degassing equipment.
The embodiment adopts a steam jet-water ring pump system to carry out vacuumizing treatment on a vacuum chamber, wherein the steam jet-water ring pump system comprises a W1 water circulating pump, a W2 water circulating pump, an E1 steam pump, an E2 steam pump, an E3 steam pump and an E4 steam pump, wherein the E1 steam pump, the E2 steam pump, the E3 steam pump and the E4 steam pump are sequentially distributed from far to near according to the distance between the steam jet-water ring pump system and the vacuum chamber.
Specifically, molten steel obtained in the converter smelting process is conveyed to an RH station for treatment, a W1 water circulating pump is started to vacuumize a vacuum chamber after a ladle is jacked to a treatment position, decarburization treatment is started, then a W2 water circulating pump is started to enlarge vacuumizing suction, the time of adding manganese alloy into molten steel is controlled according to the C content in the molten steel, the feeding speed of the manganese alloy is 300-500 kg/min, an E4 steam pump and an E3 steam pump are sequentially started to enlarge vacuumizing suction after the manganese alloy is started to be added, all the manganese alloy is added before the pressure in the vacuum chamber is reduced to 100mbar, an E2 steam pump and an E1 steam pump are sequentially started to enlarge vacuumizing suction after the manganese alloy is completely added, the pressure in the vacuum chamber is controlled to be less than or equal to 1mbar, decarburization is ended when the C content in the molten steel is reduced to be less than or equal to 0.025%, and deoxidization alloying is started, wherein the carbon content of low carbon steel is reduced to be equal to or equal to 0.025%
When the carbon content of the low-carbon steel is more than or equal to 300ppm, adding carbon powder and alloy into the molten steel for deoxidization alloying; and during deoxidization alloying, adding a low-aluminum slag surface deoxidizer into the slag surface, adding the complete alloy, starting a clean circulation treatment after 5 minutes, and breaking and emptying steel after the clean circulation treatment is finished.
Wherein, the 'the timing of adding the manganese alloy into the molten steel according to the content of C in the molten steel' specifically comprises the following steps: if the C content in the molten steel is less than or equal to 0.045%, when the pressure of the vacuum chamber is reduced to 450-550 mbar, adding manganese alloy; the C content of the molten steel is 0.045-0.075%, and when the pressure of the vacuum chamber is reduced to 550-650 mbar, the manganese alloy starts to be added.
Wherein the alloy comprises metallic aluminum and low-carbon low-sulfur ferrosilicon.
Preferably, in the low-carbon low-sulfur ferrosilicon, the content of C is less than or equal to 0.01 percent and the content of S is less than or equal to 0.005 percent.
The time, the adding process, the feeding speed and the like of the manganese alloy are controlled by the relation between the carbon-oxygen reaction law and the vacuum degree, the initial reaction condition and the like, so that the time and the speed of the reaction between C and O and the reaction between Mn and O and the yield of Mn are balanced.
Specifically, if the vacuum chamber pressure is high and the vacuum degree is low, the reaction of C and O is weaker, the O content is higher, the local concentration of Mn in the vacuum chamber is higher after the Mn alloy is added, mn and O can react, so that Mn element is oxidized, and the yield is low; if the manganese alloy is added too late, namely after the vacuum degree is lower than 100mbar, the high-speed decarburization period is over, the decarburization reaction rate is influenced by the diffusion mass transfer of the C content to the greatest extent, at the moment, the manganese alloy is added, the pressure of a vacuum chamber can rebound and rise, the C carried in the manganese alloy can lead to carburetion of molten steel, the continuous high-speed decarburization reaction is interrupted, the comprehensive decarburization reaction rate is slowed down, and the time for prolonging the clean cycle treatment is required to further remove the C content to be lower than 0.015%. In addition, the excessive feeding speed of the manganese alloy can cause the excessive local concentration of the manganese alloy, mn is easy to oxidize, and Mn is difficult to reduce into molten steel once oxidized into slag because no bottom blowing stirring exists in the RH vacuum treatment process; and too slow a feeding rate of the manganese alloy may result in a longer smelting cycle.
Further, by controlling the time when all the manganese alloy is added and the pressure condition of the vacuum chamber, the molten steel circulates for 2-3 times before the pressure in the vacuum chamber is reduced to 1mbar, so that the components of the molten steel are uniform, then the pressure in the vacuum chamber is rapidly reduced to less than 1mbar for strong decarburization, C brought by the manganese alloy and original C in the molten steel are removed, and as the O in the molten steel is additionally removed by the C brought by the manganese alloy, the total oxygen content in the molten steel is obviously reduced, and the consumption of metal aluminum in the subsequent alloying is further reduced. The low-aluminum slag surface deoxidizer is further added to the ladle slag surface during alloying, so that the oxygen potential of slag can be reduced, the oxidation of subsequent slag to alloy elements is reduced, and the alloy yield is further improved.
Preferably, when the RH vacuum refining process enters a station, the temperature of molten steel is 1600-1640 ℃, the C content in the molten steel is 0.025-0.075%, the O content in the molten steel is 0.02-0.065%, and the T.Fe content in steel slag is 8-15%.
Preferably, the chemical components of the manganese alloy comprise, in mass percent: mn 75-85%, C0.8-1.5%, P less than or equal to 0.025%, S less than or equal to 0.020%, and Fe and unavoidable impurities in balance.
Or the chemical components of the manganese alloy comprise the following components in percentage by mass: 80 to 90 percent of Mn, 0.2 to 0.6 percent of C, less than or equal to 0.02 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.015 percent of S, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
Preferably, the low-aluminum slag surface deoxidizer comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: 30-40% of CaO, less than or equal to 3% of Al 2O3 15~25%,CaF2 3~8%、SiO2%, less than or equal to 5% of MgO, 25-35% of metallic Al and the balance of unavoidable impurities.
Preferably, when the manganese alloy is added, the flow rate of the lifting gas is controlled to be 80-120 NL/min, 2-3 min after the manganese alloy is added, and then the flow rate of the lifting gas is controlled to be 150-200 NL/min.
