Description

Magnesium treatment method in vacuum refining process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of steel production, in particular to a magnesium treatment method in a vacuum refining process.
Background
With the rapid development of the steel industry, the requirements of users on the steel performance are more and more strict, so that the improvement of the steel quality is a problem which needs to be solved by each large steel enterprise. In practical production practice, according to the deoxidizing process, the steel can be divided into two major categories of Al deoxidization and Si deoxidization, wherein part of commercial steel types adopt Si-Al composite deoxidizing process (namely Si deoxidizing in the early stage and small amount of Al deoxidizing in the later stage). For aluminum killed steel, a large amount of Al is generated after deoxidizing primary steelmaking of a converter or an electric furnace 2 O 3 Inclusions are easy to gather on the inner wall of the water gap to form nodulation objects, and the casting property of molten steel is seriously affected. In addition, al 2 O 3 The inclusions are easy to aggregate in molten steel to form large-size cluster-shaped inclusions, and the performance of steel is seriously affected.
In order to change the types and morphology of inclusions in steel, inclusion modification techniques are employed by large steel enterprises. The magnesium treatment technology is that the Al is modified at present 2 O 3 One effective means of inclusion is to make Al 2 O 3 Modification of inclusions to fine MgO-Al 2 O 3 And MgO inclusions, such inclusions being less likely to occur in steelThe raw materials gather and are distributed in a dispersion way, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of molten steel. After magnesium treatment, mgO-containing inclusion in the steel has promoting effect on the formation of the crystal and the refinement of the structure. Nevertheless, because magnesium is an active metal and has a low melting point, a severe reaction occurs during magnesium treatment, so that the magnesium element volatilizes, the yield of magnesium is reduced, and secondary oxidation of molten steel is possibly caused. In addition, if the magnesium addition amount is unreasonable or the control process is not mature in the magnesium treatment process, the problems of unstable product quality and the like exist, so that the industrialized application of the magnesium treatment technology is limited to a certain extent.
The Chinese patent with publication number of CN106399633B discloses a ship plate steel molten steel magnesium treatment process, after LF refining adjusts molten steel alloy components or RH vacuum refining is finished, an Mg-Al-Fe alloy cored wire is fed into molten steel, wherein the mass percentage of magnesium in the cored wire is 5% -15%, the mass percentage of aluminum is 40% -65%, and the balance is iron and unavoidable impurities. During magnesium treatment, the cored wire is fed into the ladle at the speed of 2.5-4.0 m/s, the wire feeding position is 1/3-1/2 radius away from the center of the ladle, and soft blowing is carried out for a certain time after the wire feeding is finished, so that the purposes of controlling inclusions and improving the cleanliness of molten steel are achieved, and the product quality is improved. The technology is a conventional wire feeding magnesium treatment process, has no accurate control target, and has the problems of unstable magnesium yield, secondary oxidation generated by violent molten steel reaction, unstable product quality and the like.
The Chinese patent with publication number of CN109536840A discloses a micro-magnesium treatment lifting continuous casting high-quality die steel and a preparation method thereof, develops a magnesium-containing grinding tool steel component, provides a corresponding production process, feeds a magnesium alloy wire for magnesium treatment after VD vacuum refining, wherein the mass percent of magnesium in the magnesium alloy wire is 10-25%, the mass percent of aluminum is 30-50%, and the balance is iron and impurities, and the mass of the iron and impurities is 180-220 g/m. The magnesium alloy wire is fed into the molten steel at a proper wire feeding rate and feeding quantity, so that not only can the inclusion be modified, but also the deoxidization effect can be achieved, and the cleanliness of the molten steel is improved. The technology is a conventional wire feeding magnesium treatment process, and still has the problems of unstable magnesium yield, severe molten steel reaction, secondary oxidation, unstable product quality and the like.
From the above analysis, it is known that reasonable magnesium treatment can effectively modify Al in steel 2 O 3 The inclusion is favorable for improving the cleanliness of molten steel, and can refine grains and the like. However, the existing magnesium treatment technology generally has the problems of unstable magnesium yield, severe molten steel reaction, secondary oxidation, unstable product quality and the like, and the existing magnesium treatment technology also becomes a technical problem to be solved.
