Definitions

  • This invention relates to deoxidation practice in steelmaking.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved deoxidation process whereby steel products of improved cold heading formability may be obtained.
  • the use of very minor amounts of deoxidizer results in a high free oxygen content in the molten rimmed steel, which results in a solid skin layer around the ingot surface of good surface quality and soft characteristics but the inner portion of the rimmed steel ingot is not suitable for high grade applications because of contamination by impurities.
  • rimmed steel with a high free oxygen content cannot be cast in a continuous casting process.
  • An object of the invention is to overcome or alleviate the defects stated above to provide lower cost and higher quality steel products.
  • AI and/or Ti are the major deoxidizers used in the continuous casting process.
  • Killed steel for cold working or forming applications could be classified into AI-killed and Ti-killed steel according to the deoxidizer adopted.
  • Si-containing ferroalloy cannot be added to molten steel during the steelmaking process-only Al is used as the deoxidizer.
  • alumina clusters AI 2 0 31 form in the molten steel and remain in the solid steel as inclusions. These inclusions cannot be elongated during deformation, and thus interfere with the cold heading or working formability.
  • An object of the invention is to overcome the above shortcoming of deoxidation practice, that is to reduce the work hardening effect.
  • US 2,705,196 discloses a method for the deoxidation of molten steel produced in a furnace by a steelmaking process, comprising a predeoxidizing step in which a silicon-containing ferroalloy is added to the molten steel, and a subsequent deoxidizing step in which a deoxidizing metal is added to the pre-deoxidized molten steel.
  • the method of the invention starting from this known method provides that said silicon-containing ferroalloy is added in a controlled amount sufficient to reduce the free oxygen content of the melt to a level below 340 ppm but insufficient to result in substantial retention of elemental silicon in the melt; after the pre-deoxidizing step the molten steel is stirred, by gas-bubbling to separate silicon dioxide from the molten steel, and said deoxidizing metal is added in finely divided form by a continuous feeder arrangement so as substantially to prevent retention of silicon in the steel.
  • the process of the invention increases the recovery rate of deoxidizing metal, decreases the amount of deoxidizer and ferroalloy consumption and saves on production cost. Because of the reduced deoxidizing metal and alloy addition, deoxidized formations can be reduced, resulting in a remarkable improvement in the internal cleanliness of the steel products.
  • Optional features of the invention are set out in Claims 2 to 8 below. After treating by AI and/or Ti with the above process, good shrouding systems should be adopted during continuous casting or ingot teeming processes to protect the molten steel from reoxidizing by the atmosphere. Consequently, cleaner steel could be acquired by this new predeoxidation process, which is referred to below as a WPD (weak predeoxidation) process.
  • WPD weak predeoxidation
  • Figure 2 indicates that with appropriate amount of Si containing ferroalloy addition the free oxygen content in the liquid steel before AI deoxidation can evidently be lowered.
  • the recovery of deoxidizer can be improved and the oxides retained in the liquid steel after deoxidation can be reduced as well, thus the quality of bloom, slab and ingot can be improved.
  • Figure 3(a) and 3(b) compare the Si content in the liquid steel between WPD Process and non-WPD Process.
  • Figure 3(a) shows the distribution of Si contents in the final molten steel treated by weak pre-deoxidizing with Si contained ferroalloy.
  • Figure 3(b) shows the distribution of Si contents in the final molten steel without WPD treatment.
  • Figure 3(a) and 3(b) indicates the percent of the number of melts which contain Si less than 0.02% in the liquid steel by using WPD Process is 96.8%, while that of non-WPD Process is 95.8%.
  • the data obviously shows that the proportion of Si content below 0.02% in the liquid steel of WPD Process is even a little bit higher than that of non-WPD Process.
  • the Si content analyzed by spectro-scope is total Si content (including silica), thus confirms that Si contained ferroalloy will not cause Si to be retained in the liquid steel. (It can also be confirmed by microscope). While Si contained ferroalloy is added into liquid steel, Si will react with free oxygen first and forms silicon dioxide (Si0 2 ) particles, which distribute in the whole liquid steel.
  • Figure 4 shows the comparison of the rate of A) recovery between AI-killed steel produced by Weak Pre-Deoxidation Process and conventional deoxidation process.
  • the rate of AI recovery was evidently increased by this invention as indicated in Figure 4, that is due to the content of free oxygen in molten steel as remarkably decreased. Because of higher recovery rate of Al, caused less AI addition, deoxidation formations could be effectively reduced. Consequently, the internal cleanliness and surface quality of the steel product was remarkably improved by this new process.
  • Table 1 shows the comparison of free oxygen content between WPD Process and conventional deoxidation process before aluminum and/or titanium addition, when the content of free oxygen according to the invention is 1.
  • a feature of this invention is to reduce the free oxygen content of molten steel as much as possible before the addition of deoxidizers (aluminum and/or titanium) but without retention of Si in the melt.
  • deoxidizers aluminum and/or titanium
  • the data listed in the table obviously show that after WPD Process treatment the free oxygen content can be greatly decreased before the addition of deoxidizers.
  • the amount of free oxygen content lowered can be controlled directly by adjusting the amount of Si-containing ferroalloy addition. Owing to the decrease of free oxygen content, recovery of aluminum can be improved, cost can be lowered, and the quality of steel products can be improved remarkably.
  • Table 2 shows the comparison of typical chemical compositions between the general cold working AI-killed steel grade and the steel designed according to this invention for the same end use.
  • typical chemical composition designed according to this invention has lower aluminum content than that of conventional AI-killed steel grade.
  • the reason for this composition design is to decrease the inclusion formation of deoxidation to get cleaner molten steel. Because of more deoxidizers are added, more chances to form consistins would result and the cost is also higher. Therefore, the principle of chemical composition design by this invention is to lower the addition of deoxidizers such as aluminum and/or titanium under the condition of no poor deoxidation and good formabilty. And with the aid of WPD Process, the amount of deoxidizers added can be decreased, cleaner steel and lower production cost will be resulted.
  • This deoxidation method is also suitable for af other kind of AI-killed steel grade.
  • Table 3 shows the comparison of estimated index of inclusions between different deoxidation processes.
  • the main purpose of WPD Process is to improve the internal cleanliness, and improve the quality of casted steel.
  • the table obviously shows that under this new process, the estimated index of inclusions is much better than that of conventional process. It can also be sured that the WPD Process has much improvement on internal quality of casted steel.
  • Table 4 (page 4) shows the comparison of grinding speed of billets between different deoxidation processes. In respect of quality, the WPD process improves not only the internal cleanliness of the casted steel, but also its surface quality. Data listed in the table represent pieces of billets to be ground within unit time (per hour).
  • the WPD Process can make much improvement on surfacial quality of casted steel, and save much surface conditioning cost.
  • the invention is applicable both to Basic Oxygen and Electric Arc Furnace Steel making processes.
  • Si-containing ferroalloy is added to the molten steel as weak predeoxidation agent.
  • the free oxygen content of molten steel can be lowered efficiently whilst ensuring that silcon will not remain in molten steel.
  • This method not only increases the recovery of aluminum and/or titanium, saves much production cost, improves surfacial and internal quality of steel which is good for formability, but also keeps steelmaking operation in good stability.
  • the weak pre-deoxidation step is suitably executed after blowing end and before the addition of aluminum and/or titanium deoxidizer.
  • Remark Estimated index value 0-4, 0 is the best.
  • Depth of defects to be ground are more than 1.2 mm
