Description

Production method for improving inclusion of vacuum refined aluminum-containing steel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of ferrous metallurgy, and relates to a method for improving inclusion in vacuum refining aluminum-containing steel.
Background
The vacuum refined aluminium-containing steel is mainly aluminium-containing steel with strict requirements for inclusions and gas, and is commonly known as high-end cold heading steel series, and can be used for producing 10.9-grade and 12.9-grade high-strength fasteners, and is mainly used for high-end parts for engines and safety systems.
Because the high-end cold heading steel has extremely strict requirements on nonmetallic inclusion, in order to improve the control level of the inclusion of the steel type, the improvement capability of the process on the inclusion is limited by optimizing conventional process parameters, including means of prolonging white slag time, prolonging RH vacuum treatment time, prolonging soft blowing time, protecting casting and the like; the other type adopts a calcium-free treatment process to reduce the inclusion of the composite calcium aluminate, so that the inclusion control level can be obviously improved, but the calcium-free treatment process has severe requirements on refining slag systems and material resistance and poor casting stability, so that continuous casting cannot be performed and the popularization is poor.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for improving inclusion of vacuum refining aluminum-containing steel, which can greatly improve the control level of inclusion of vacuum refining aluminum-containing steel, does not influence the casting performance of steel types, and meets the requirements of high cleanliness and continuous production of vacuum refining aluminum-containing steel.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows:
a method for improving vacuum refining aluminum-containing steel inclusions comprises the working procedures of converter/electric furnace smelting, LF refining, RH refining and continuous casting; the LF refining procedure uses lime, bauxite and quartz sand as slag materials, and the adding amount of the slag materials is controlled to be 3-5 kg/ton of steel; calcium carbide and aluminum particles are used as deoxidizing agents, and the LF refining slag is controlled to comprise the following components: caO 45-65%, siO 2 10~20%,Al 2 O 3 15~30%,FeO+MnO<1.0%,R 2.5~5.0。
Further, the LF refining process is finished, and 0.1-0.4 kg of solid pure calcium cored wire is fed to each ton of steel.
Further, after the RH refining process is started and the vacuum degree is less than or equal to 3.0kPa, lime is added into the vacuum chamber from the vacuum hopper, and the addition amount is controlled to be 0.5-2.0 kg/t per ton of steel; maintaining the pressure of the vacuum chamber to be less than or equal to 0.13kPa, and controlling the flow rate of the circulating argon to be between 0.9 and 1.0Nm per ton of steel 3 And (h) carrying out re-pressing operation for more than or equal to 15min after pure degassing, and opening to a soft blowing position for soft blowing after re-pressing, wherein the soft blowing process keeps the steelThe slag surface fluctuates but the molten steel is not exposed, and the soft blowing time is controlled to be more than or equal to 15 minutes.
Further, in the converter/electric furnace smelting process, the oxygen content of the end point is controlled to be less than or equal to 500ppm, deoxidization alloying is started when tapping is carried out 1/10, deoxidizing agent, alloy and top slag are sequentially added, molten steel is fully precipitated and deoxidized by utilizing the impact stirring effect of tapping steel flow, and meanwhile, the alloy and the top slag are fully melted; the adding amount of top slag is controlled to be 4-6 kg/ton steel.
Furthermore, the continuous casting process adopts a conventional protection casting process, so that the whole casting process is protected, and oxygen inhalation and secondary oxidation are avoided; meanwhile, a high-quality refractory material is preferable, so that foreign inclusions are reduced and no entanglement is caused.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
(1) And (3) advancing the calcium treatment in the conventional process of vacuum refining aluminum-containing steel to an LF furnace process. The LF furnace adopts the conventional slag materials and deoxidizing agents such as calcium carbide, aluminum particles and the like to produce white slag, ensures the quality of the white slag, controls the alkalinity R to be 2.5-5.0, ensures FeO+MnO in the slag to be less than or equal to 1.0 percent, and feeds 0.1-0.4 kg of calcium wire into each ton of steel to carry out inclusion denaturation treatment (form low-melting-point 7 Al) 2 O 3 12 CaO) while ensuring that there is some free Ca in the steel when the LF leaves the station.
(2) When the ladle of the RH furnace is lifted, a small amount of refining slag enters the vacuum chamber along with the insertion of the dip pipe into molten steel, and the slag circulation process of the slag entering the vacuum chamber does not return to the ladle but forms a partial slag layer at the upper part of the vacuum chamber because the slag density is smaller than that of the molten steel. When the pressure of the vacuum chamber of the RH furnace is less than or equal to 3.0kPa, lime is added into the vacuum chamber by a vacuum hopper, and the lime is melted and fully and uniformly mixed with slag in the vacuum chamber to form high-alkalinity slag. The inclusion in the molten steel is captured and removed by the high-alkalinity slag in the RH circulation process, and meanwhile, free Ca in the molten steel can ensure the Al oxidized with Als in the molten steel 2 O 3 Bonding forms low melting inclusions. Because the vacuum treatment and the repressing are not carried out any more, the inclusion caused by steel slag entrainment and secondary oxidation of the molten steel due to the violent rising of the molten steel in the calcium treatment process is eliminated, and the product inclusion is greatly reduced.
The technical scheme of the invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
(1) The vacuum refined aluminum-containing steel inclusion produced by the method can reach the calcium-free treatment process level, is stable in casting, and can realize continuous casting and popularization.
(2) The vacuum refined aluminum-containing steel inclusion produced by the method can reach the following level: the class A fine system is less than or equal to 1.0, and the class A coarse system is less than or equal to 0.5; the B-class fine system is less than or equal to 1.0, and the coarse system is less than or equal to 0.5; class C fine/coarse system 0; class D fine/coarse system is less than or equal to 1.0; ds is less than or equal to 1.0.
