Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new product for the desulfurization of refining and molding irons, and of steels, and for the nodulization of molding irons, product particularly well suited for direct injection, with a lance, in a gas stream.
  • magnesium is absorbed on a porous support such as coke (French patent n ° 1 417 474 of American Cast Iron Pipe Company) or a porous ceramic (French patent n ° 1 357511 of Foseco Trading AG), or on an iron sponge (French patent No. 1,568,576 to Jarnforadling).
  • a porous support such as coke (French patent n ° 1 417 474 of American Cast Iron Pipe Company) or a porous ceramic (French patent n ° 1 357511 of Foseco Trading AG), or on an iron sponge (French patent No. 1,568,576 to Jarnforadling).
  • magnesium is mixed with a diluent, which can also play a role in the desulfurization process, such as lime, in particular in FR-A-1 125 154, 1 168 646, 1 168750 of l 'Institut deInstitut de fürs de la Sidérurgie, and in French patent FR-A-2,331,621 to Jones and Laughlin Steel Co.
  • lime and magnesium are stored in two separate containers, and are mixed at the time of use, by simultaneous shipment in a predetermined proportion, in the injection pipe.
  • the magnesium is coated with an inert substance (metal oxides, halogenated salts).
  • the present invention satisfactorily solves the problem of injecting magnesium into a bath of cast iron or liquid steel, and ensures both personnel safety, regularity of operation, obtaining '' a minimum sulfur content and simplifies handling.
  • a product for the desulfurization of cast irons and steels in the liquid state, by injection with a lance in a stream of carrier gas characterized in that it comprises, by weight, from 10 to 90%, preferably 20 to 80 %, granulated slag, the rest being magnesium shot.
  • the granulated slag is obtained by granulation of slags of particular composition, either by pouring the molten slag in water, or by granulation in a jet of gas or steam, followed by drying and sieving.
  • dairy products with a basic character are particularly well suited, with a basicity index greater than 1 and preferably greater than 2, which may contain, in addition to lime, alumina, silica and magnesia, one or more additional constituent (s) such as calcium fluorides or sodium fluorides, alkali metal oxides, alkali and alkaline earth metal borates which allow to adjust the melting point or viscosity or any other physico-chemical characteristic.
  • Basicity can be identified by the weight index
  • Magnesium shot can be obtained by any known means which makes it possible to give the particles a shape with rounded contours, free of sharp edges, which is essential for ensuring the product, object of the invention, good flow characteristics in the pipes and in the injection lance.
  • the particle size can be chosen within relatively wide limits. In practice, a particle size between 0.1 and 3 mm, and preferably between 0.3 and 2 mm, gives the best results in terms of the use of the desulphurizing or inoculating product.
  • the shot consists of unalloyed magnesium, containing the usual impurities; but it is also possible, depending on the results sought, either to facilitate the shaping of magnesium in the shot state, or to give cast iron or steel special properties, use shot which may contain, in addition to the magnesium, at least one additional element chosen from aluminum, up to 25% by weight, calcium up to 25% by weight, silicon up to 10% by weight, and one or more metals from the group of earths rare or their mixture called mischmetall, from 0.1 to 10% by weight.
  • the desulphurizing or nodulating product which is the subject of the invention comprises varying proportions of granules and slag, depending on the applications. If one refers, for example, to the desulfurization of a hematite refining pig, it is known that the operation, for various reasons, should not last more than 6 to 8 minutes. Given the initial and final sulfur content targeted and the magnesium yield and the flow rate of the injection lance, it is easy to calculate the theoretical quantity of magnesium required, and adjust the mixture accordingly. It is thus possible, by adjusting the magnesium / milk ratio, to regulate the flow rate, the duration and the efficiency of the desulfurizing injection.
  • composition intervals ranging from 10 to 90% (by weight) of magnesium shot, and from 90 to 10% of granulated slag make it possible to resolve all the cases which arise, the preferred compositions being in the range of 20 to 80% magnesium shot and 80 to 20% granulated slag.
  • This slag comes from the manufacture of magnesium by the "Magnétherm” process, as described in French patents Nos. 1,194,556, 2,204,697 and 2,395,319. It was granulated by casting, in the state melted, in a large body of water, then dried and calibrated by sieving.
  • the magnesium used was obtained by the same Magnetherm process with a magnesium titer greater than 99.5% and a particle size of 0.3 to 1.6 mm.
