Description

Method and device for reducing fine inclusions in molten steel
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of steelmaking, in particular to a method and a device for reducing fine inclusions in molten steel.
Background
The inclusion in the molten steel is an important factor affecting the production and application of steel, the quantity, the size and the dispersion degree of the inclusion in the steel have great influence on the quality of the steel, and the effective control of nonmetallic inclusion in the steel is a key for improving the quality of steel products and is always an important point of attention in steel production and scientific research. However, with the increasing demands of people on the cleanliness of steel, the requirements on the performance of specific steel are continuously improved, and the removal of inclusions below 20 μm is continuously emphasized, especially for high-clean steel such as pipeline steel, automobile plate steel, high-grade silicon steel and the like. The inclusion control is a system engineering related to each process of the whole process of steel production, so that the control technology of the inclusion of the high-purity molten steel generally relates to the whole process of molten iron pretreatment, smelting, refining and continuous casting.
Chinese patent CN102676725a discloses a method for controlling inclusions in steel: 1) And (5) performing strong desulfurization by blowing Mg to perform molten iron pretreatment. 2) Adding fluorite, active lime, aluminum blocks and alloy into the tapping of the converter for pre-refining. 3) Deep desulfurization is carried out in the refining process, and high-alkalinity strong-reducibility slag is adopted to control the S content in molten steel; the LF treatment process satisfies [ Als ] of 0.03-0.06%. 4) Vacuum treatment is carried out on molten steel, and Ca treatment is carried out after the vacuum treatment. Thus greatly reducing the number of large-size inclusions in molten steel and meeting the severe requirements of X70 pipeline steel on the inclusions. The technique adopts a smelting process method to reduce and control inclusions in steel, thereby meeting the steel quality requirement; the smelting and refining treatment period is longer, and certain difficulty is brought to the improvement of the production efficiency.
Chinese patent CN102816898A describes a method for improving the quality of the top slag and reducing the oxidizing properties of the top slag. And adding the composite deoxidizer for the second time during the vacuum treatment of the molten steel, and blowing argon to adjust the components. And adding a composite deoxidizer to the top slag of the steel ladle after the molten steel is treated for the third time. Thus, the number of the IF steel inclusions is reduced, and the surface quality of the automobile plate is improved.
Chinese patent CN103014220a describes a method for improving the composition and size of nonmetallic inclusions in steel grades to increase the purity of the molten steel. The melting point (1500-1650 ℃) and shape and size of nonmetallic inclusion in molten steel are changed by respectively carrying out calcium treatment and soft blowing at the end of LF refining white slag and the end of RH vacuum treatment and controlling the chemical composition of nonmetallic. So that cracks can be avoided in the process of rolling and using the pipeline steel. The technology is a method for modifying nonmetallic inclusion, and achieves the aim of improving the quality qualification rate of steel products.
Chinese patent CN102517419a discloses a method for improving the cleanliness of molten steel and reducing the inclusion content, which makes nonmetallic inclusions in steel enter a plastic zone, changes the morphology of nonmetallic inclusions, and improves the fatigue life of steel. The method comprises the processes of molten iron treatment, converter smelting, ladle refining and continuous casting. Particularly, the casting powder with the alkalinity of 0.8-0.85 is selected in the continuous casting process, and the crystallizer adopts electromagnetic stirring to control the current intensity and frequency. The technique controls inclusions in the whole steelmaking process, and achieves good steel quality.
By comparative analysis of the prior art, we found that various aspects of the whole steelmaking process have a method for reducing and controlling inclusions in molten steel.
1. In terms of steelmaking technology, such as component control, chemical components in steel are optimized, beneficial elements are increased, and harmful elements are reduced.
The chemical treatment is carried out, and the treatments of calcium and rare earth are mostly carried out, so that oxygen and sulfur-based inclusions in steel are removed as much as possible, the morphology of the inclusions is controlled, and the cast structure is improved.
Refining, slagging modification or electromagnetic stirring.
The method has the advantages of complex equipment, high input cost, difficult process accurate control and relative effectiveness on large-scale inclusion.
2. The continuous casting tundish is regarded as an important metallurgical vessel for connecting the ladle and the crystallizer, and can smoothly convey the molten steel with a predetermined flow rate and temperature to the crystallizer without pollution. The control of the inclusion in the molten steel in the tundish is the last and most critical process in the steelmaking and continuous casting process, and the inclusion removal effect and mechanism are of great concern.
In the continuous casting process, the more extensive methods for removing molten steel inclusions include a bubble adsorption method, an electromagnetic stirring method in a crystallizer and a filtering separation method.
1. Argon bubbling is adopted in the tundish for removing. Such as a tundish air curtain wall, buried air bricks, a tundish sealed argon blowing, etc. But the steel mill reflects unstable use effect: the inclusion removal effect with small size is not obvious; the gas blowing amount is limited, and the liquid level fluctuates; high cost, long service life and poor safety. Therefore, the bubble method has easy operation, wide application in production and good effect of removing large-scale inclusion. However, the effect of removing the fine inclusions is weak, and new bubble inclusions may be caused, and the temperature of the molten steel may be lowered.
2. The method for removing impurities by electromagnetic field in the crystallizer mainly comprises electromagnetic stirring and electromagnetic braking.
Under the action of electromagnetic field force, the flow field of molten steel in the crystallizer is changed, so that the recirculation zone is eliminated, the retention time of inclusions in molten steel is prolonged, the probability of collision of the inclusions is improved, and the collisions, coalescence and floating of the inclusions in the center of the crystallizer are promoted.
The electromagnetic braking is that the magnetic field generates electromagnetic force opposite to the flowing direction of molten steel, so that the impact depth of molten steel in the crystallizer is reduced, slag is prevented from being rolled up, and the method has no requirement on the size of inclusions. The electromagnetic purification method has the advantages of wide process, flexible operation, complex equipment and large required electric power resource.
3. The filtering separation method directly purifies impurities in molten steel if a filtering device is adopted, but the filter has the advantages of complex manufacturing process, expensive materials, easy blockage and high replacement frequency, and can not be suitable for continuous casting operation with high strength and long time, so that large-scale practical application is not seen at present.
The presence of inclusions, particularly inclusions smaller than 20 μm, in high-clean steels such as pipeline steels directly causes defects such as hydrogen induced cracking, which greatly affects the performance of the pipeline steels. In addition, inclusions in steel have a great influence on the physical properties of steel such as plasticity, toughness, fatigue strength, and the like. Therefore, in addition to the necessary technical measures adopted in the steelmaking refining process, a relatively simple, effective and low-cost method for reducing fine inclusions in molten steel in a tundish must be researched, so that the quality and market competitiveness of steel products are improved.

In the inner circle formed by the inner sides of the guide blocks, the molten steel flowing out of the long water gap has higher speed, and a high-pressure area is formed in the area; when the molten steel flows out from the inner circle to the outside, the molten steel flows into the channels between the adjacent diversion blocks, the channels which are excessively round from the inner circle to the outside are gradually narrowed, part of molten steel is accelerated to flow out of the outer circle area through the channels, but most of the flow is blocked to form upward vortex and secondary vortex which are formed by the upward vortex; the strong vortex has lower central pressure, fine inclusions in the flow can gather towards the low-pressure center, collide and grow up at the low-pressure center, clusters of inclusion particles with a certain size can float up to the liquid level of steel slag to be removed under the action of Stokes buoyancy, and pressure changes formed in the inner circle and the outer circle areas of the internal rotation type flow stabilizer can effectively crush the flow, so that the inclusion particles are prevented from entering a casting blank along with the flow at the bottom of a tundish to influence the product quality. The first step greatly improves the removal efficiency of the inclusions in the tundish, thereby being beneficial to improving the cleanliness of molten steel and further improving the cleanliness of steel. And secondly, the molten steel and the inclusions enter the double-layer retaining wall structure from the flow guide holes of the front retaining wall, the double-layer retaining wall is equivalent to a molten steel flow inducing device, the unsteady flowing molten steel obtains a stable flow field through the double-layer retaining wall, and meanwhile, the movement track of the molten steel is changed through the flow guide holes uniformly distributed on the retaining wall, so that the occurrence of short-circuit flow is prevented. The flow guide holes in different directions of the front retaining wall and the rear retaining wall are utilized to adjust the flow field direction of molten steel in the ladle, so that fine inclusions are conveniently adsorbed and removed by top slag. The porous retaining wall is used for enabling the molten steel distributed to each submerged nozzle to be more uniform, the average residence time of the molten steel from the ladle long nozzle to the tundish submerged nozzle is increased, and the floating of fine inclusion components is facilitated. After the impurities of the high-quality steel are reduced through a series of refining process control, fine impurities are removed again in the tundish, so that the high-purity purification of the molten steel is realized.
In the method design of the invention:
1. an internal rotation type current stabilizer is designed below a long water gap of a tundish, so that the internal rotation type current stabilizer can prevent molten steel from splashing on one hand, and on the other hand, a flow guide block is annularly designed and arranged at the bottom of the internal rotation type current stabilizer, so that the molten steel generates a rotation belt, regular turbulent collision of the molten steel can be generated, the residence time of the molten steel can be prolonged, and micron-sized fine inclusions in the molten steel can be gathered, collided, grown up and removed towards the center.
The internal rotation type current stabilizer has the following functions and mechanisms:
(1) The turbulent kinetic energy of molten steel in the middle injection area is effectively inhibited, the flow field of the molten steel is stabilized, the fluctuation of the liquid level in the injection area is reduced, and secondary oxidation caused by slag rolling or exposure is prevented;
(2) The inner part of the internal rotation type flow stabilizer is provided with a certain deflection flow guide block, so that the molten steel in a middle injection area below a long water gap in the tundish forms a rotational flow, and the generated centrifugal force promotes the micron-sized inclusions to gather and grow up towards the center, thereby being beneficial to floating removal;
(3) The swirl flow of molten steel in the pouring area in the tundish is beneficial to the uniform mixing of the molten steel, improves the flow path, prolongs the residence time of the molten steel and the inclusions in the pouring area, and is beneficial to the removal of the inclusions.
2. Double-layer flow guide retaining walls, namely front and rear porous flow guide retaining walls, are arranged at two sides of a pouring area in the tundish, so that molten steel and a flow path can be well controlled, and impurities are prevented from entering a water gap area of the pouring area of the tundish, thereby reducing fine impurities and purifying molten steel.
The front and rear porous diversion retaining walls have the effect and mechanism of promoting inclusion removal as follows:
(1) The flow field of the molten steel of the tundish is effectively changed, erosion of the bottom of the tundish is reduced, short-circuit flow is eliminated, strong turbulence is limited in an impact area, the flow of the molten steel near the water gap of the tundish is stable, and a streamline is lengthened;
(2) The distributed upper and lower diversion holes are arranged to have a diversion effect on molten steel;

The invention has the beneficial effects that:
the impure molten steel can cause serious problems in the continuous casting blank, and has influence on the use performance and the use range of the steel. The last container with refractory property that the molten steel needs to pass before entering the crystallization container is a tundish, and the cleaning degree of the molten steel, the size and the quantity of the inclusion substances are closely related to the flow of the molten steel and refractory materials in the tundish. In order to remove fine inclusions, various flow control devices are designed in the continuous casting tundish to promote floating removal of the inclusions. However, inclusions having a diameter of less than 20 μm are hardly removed by floating in a continuous casting tundish, and thus removal of inclusions of less than 20 μm has become an increasingly difficult problem in restricting the cleanliness of steel.
The invention constructs a mode of an internal rotation type current stabilizer and a double-layer diversion retaining wall in the tundish to reduce fine inclusions in molten steel in the tundish, can effectively inhibit the turbulent kinetic energy of molten steel in a pouring area, forms rotational flow to enable micron-sized inclusions to gather and grow towards the center, and is beneficial to floating removal of the fine inclusions; meanwhile, the flow path of the molten steel is optimized, short-circuit flow is prevented, uniform mixing of the molten steel is facilitated, the separation and residence time of the molten steel and inclusions are prolonged, the removal rate of fine inclusions smaller than 20 mu m in the molten steel is improved by 15% compared with that of the prior molten steel, 86.45%, the high purity of the molten steel required by high-quality steel is fully ensured, the defects of hydrogen-induced cracks and the like can be greatly reduced, and the quality of high-purity steel such as pipeline steel is improved.
