Definitions
- the present invention relates to a free machining, deformed, solid steel product made from molten steel containing dissolved oxygen.
- Molten steel for making such products is generally prepared in a steel refining furnace such as a basic oxygen furnace, an electric furnace and, in decreasing utilization, an open hearth furnace.
- Molten steel prepared in a steel refining furnace generally contains dissolved oxygen which is usually regarded as an undesirable impurity.
- a conventional expedient for removing dissolved oxygen from molten steel is to add elements, such as aluminium silicon, titanium or zirconium, that form stable oxides. These metal elements are referred to hereinafter as solid deoxidising agents.
- a deoxidising treatment employing a solid deoxidising agent is usually conducted outside of the steel refining furnace, typically in a ladle into which the molten steel has been poured from the steel refining furnace.
- sulfur is added to the steel to improve the machinability of the steel.
- Sulfur combines with manganese to form manganese sulfide inclusions in the solidified steel, and these inclusions improve the machinability of the steel (DE-B-1608752 and DE-A-2,823,366).
- Manganese sulfide inclusions have a tendency to be elongated in the direction of rolling when a solidified steel casting is rolled into a shape (product) and elongated manganese sulfide inclusions are less desirable from a machinability standpoint than globular manganese sulfide inclusions.
- smaller manganese sulfide inclusions are considered less desirable than larger inclusions.
- An object of the invention is to provide a free machining, deformed, solid product which has improved properties compared to such known products.
- the manganese sulfide inclusions are in a desired form of relatively globular manganese oxysulfide inclusions which resist deformation when the solidified steel undergoes rolling and undesirable oxide inclusions which interfere with machinability are avoided.
- the retained oxygen combines with the manganese sulfide to form oxygen containing manganese sulfide inclusions (manganese oxysulfides) which are more resistant to deformation or elongation during rolling than are those manganese sulfide inclusions formed in steel containing very little dissolved oxygen.
- the retained oxygen also increases the size of the inclusions. The end result of the retained oxygen is the formation of larger, relatively globular manganese oxysulfides in the rolled steel shape.
- the dissolved oxygen content In cases where the dissolved oxygen content is less than that required to provide the desired globular manganese oxysulfides, the dissolved oxygen content must be increased.
- Molten steel prepared in a steel refining furnace for making a product according to the invention is conventionally poured from the furnace into a ladle from which the molten steel is introduced into a casting mold which may be either an ingot mold or a continuous casting mold. If the steel is flowed into a continuous casting mold, it is first flowed from the ladle into a tundish which contains one or more outlet openings through which the steel flows to the continuous casting mold.
- tundishes contain internal structure in the form of baffles, dams, weirs and the like to control or direct the movement of the molten steel through the tundish, and this, as well as the general configuration of the tundish and its entry and exit locations, causes the molten steel to undergo a mixing action as it flows through the tundish.
- Embodiments of tundishes containing the internal structure and general configuration discussed above are disclosed in Jackson, et al., U.S. application serial No. 808,570, filed December 13, 1985
- the bath of molten steel in the ladle is usually covered with a slag layer, and the molten steel in the tundish can also be covered with a slag layer.
- the slag layer on the molten steel in the ladle or in the tundish comprises, at least to some extent, slag from the steel refining furnace in which the molten steel was initially prepared.
- the bath of molten steel in the ladle can be stirred by bubbling gases, such as argon, through the bath in the ladle, by electromagnetic stirring, by alloy injection, etc.
- gases such as argon
- the covering slag layer there is dissolved oxygen in the bath of molten steel, and in the covering slag layer there are oxides, such as manganese oxide (MnO) and iron oxide (FeO), having a cation corresponding to one of the metallic elements (Mn, Fe) in the bath of molten steel.
- MnO manganese oxide
- FeO iron oxide
- the dissolved oxygen in the molten steel and the oxides in the slag layer usually move toward equilibrium with each other, i.e. the relative proportions of each move toward stable values absent some external disruption. There is movement toward equilibrium because of the natural tendency for chemical reactions to occur and to continue until they produce a state of equilibrium.
- the respective amounts of dissolved oxygen and slag layer oxides which are in equilibrium can be calculated from available thermodynamic data.
- the movement toward equilibrium is typically in the direction whereby oxygen from the slag oxides enters the molten steel to increase the dissolved oxygen content thereof.
- the amount of dissolved oxygen which the molten steel will hold in equilibrium also drops.
- a molten steel bath in a ladle may be stirred with an inert gas such as argon.
- the stirring gas may also contain, in addition to argon, carbon monoxide.
- carbon monoxide For a given carbon content in the molten steel, there is an equilibrium between the carbon monoxide in the stirring gas and the carbon and oxygen in the bath of molten steel through which the carbon monoxide gas flows. The respective amounts of each which are in equilibrium can be readily calculated from available thermodynamic data.
- a method for making a steel product according to the invention is performed outside of the steel refining furnace, typically in a ladle, although some procedures may be performed in a tundish.
- the method is performed with a steel containing carbon, manganese and iron.
- untreated molten steel is first prepared in a steel refining furnace and then poured into the ladle to form therein a bath of molten steel.
- the bath of molten steel contains dissolved oxygen.
- the bath of molten steel is covered with a slag layer comprising an undiluted slag containing an oxide which, in the percentage thereof existing in the undiluted slag, initially moves toward equilibrium with dissolved oxygen in the bath.
- the undiluted slag is the slag from the steel refining furnace, and the oxide moving toward equilibrium is MnO or FeO or both.
- the slag also contains other compounds conventionally found in slag resulting from steel making operations.
- a reduction may be required if the dissolved oxygen content is greater than that required to impart the necessary globularity to the manganese sulfide inclusions upon solidification and rolling of the steel.
- the dissolved oxygen content of the bath may be decreased by diluting the slag in the slag layer. More particularly, the percentage of slag layer oxide (MnO, FeO) which was moving toward equilibrium with the dissolved oxygen in the steel is decreased by adding to the slag layer a diluent oxide, e.g. calcium oxide (lime) (CaO).
- a diluent oxide e.g. calcium oxide (lime) (CaO).
- Diluting the slag disrupts the initial movement toward equilibrium between the oxide in the slag layer and the dissolved oxygen in the bath of molten steel. Assuming that, before disruption, the movement toward equilibrium was in the direction whereby oxygen from the slag oxides enters the molten steel, the disruption reverses the direction of that movement. If the oxides in the slag were in equilibrium with the dissolved oxygen in the steel, the disruption caused by diluting the slag produces movement in the desired direction whereby dissolved oxygen from the molten steel enters the slag as oxide. If the initial movement toward equilibrium were in the desired direction, but the movement was relatively insubstantial or otherwise insufficient, the disruption caused by diluting the slag will increase the movement in the desired direction.
- the result thereof is to form, at the molten steel bath-slag layer interface, additional amounts of the diluted oxide (e.g. MnO and/or FeO), and these additional amounts are absorbed into the slag layer as a result of the natural tendency to reestablish an equilibrium between that oxide in the slag layer and the dissolved oxygen in the bath of molten steel.
- additional amounts of the diluted oxide e.g. MnO and/or FeO
- Oxide formation within the bath of molten steel is avoided because essentially all of the oxides which form as a result of the above-described disruption of the equilibrium will form at the interface between the bath of molten steel and the slag layer. Oxides which form at the interface are readily absorbed by the slag, thereby avoiding the formation of oxides within the steel. The manganese, the iron and the dissolved oxygen which combine to form oxides come from the molten steel at the interface.
- the procedure described above can be employed in the tundish as well as in the ladle.
- the increased area of the molten steel-slag interface per unit mass of molten steel compensates for the absence in the tundish of external stirring forces, such as a stirring gas or electro-magnetic stirring, which are employed when the procedure is performed in the ladle.
- external stirring forces e.g. a stirring gas
- the dissolved oxygen content in the molten steel is less than that desired, e.g. less than that required to provide the desired size and globularity to the manganese sulfide inclusions
- the dissolved oxygen content can be increased by employing another expedient in accordance with the present invention.
- the procedure employing this expedient is performed in the ladle and involves bubbling through the ladle a stirring gas composed of argon and carbon monoxide.
- the percentage of carbon monoxide in the stirring gas is greater than that which is in equilibrium with the carbon and dissolved oxygen content in the steel.
- the proportion of carbon monoxide in the stirring gas decreases producing an increase in the proportion of dissolved oxygen and carbon in the molten steel. This change in proportions will continue for so long as the gaseous mixture containing carbon monoxide in excess of that in equilibrium with carbon and oxygen in the molten steel is continued.
- a gaseous mixture of argon and carbon monoxide can also be used to decrease the dissolved oxygen content of the molten steel, if the percentage of carbon monoxide in the gas is less than that which is in equilibrium with the carbon and dissolved oxygen in the steel. Decreasing the dissolved oxygen content in the steel in this manner can be used as a supplement to the first method described above, which dilutes the FeO and/or MnO content of the slag layer.
- the first-described method can be employed without changing the carbon content of the steel.
- the later-described method can be employed without substantially changing the manganese content of the steel.
- the later-described method can also be employed as a supplement to the first-described method, in cases where the dissolved oxygen content is reduced too much, in which case the later-described method would be employed to produce a slight increase in the dissolved oxygen content.
- the present invention will be described in the context of producing free machining steel products containing relatively large, globular manganese oxysulfides.
- molten steel from a basic oxygen furnace is poured into a ladle.
- Certain alloying ingredients may be added to the molten steel at the ladle during the tapping operation. These include manganese (added as ferro-manganese), carbon (added as coke) and sulfur.
- a typical heat of steel poured into the ladle has a mass of about 200,000 kg.
- the bath of molten steel in the ladle is covered with a layer of slag.
- the slag layer is composed principally of slag from the basic oxygen furnace.
- the proportion of FeO and MnO in the slag relative to the dissolved oxygen content of the steel are such that there would be a movement toward equilibrium in the direction whereby oxygen from the oxides in the slag enters the bath of molten steel.
- the dissolved oxygen content in the molten steel is typically above that needed for producing the desired size and globularity in the manganese sulfide inclusions. Accordingly, some lime (CaO) is added to the slag from the basic oxygen furnace during the tapping operation. This has a diluting effect on the slag in the slag layer in the ladle, decreasing the percentages of MnO and FeO in the slag layer with the intent of producing a decrease in the dissolved oxygen content in the molten steel bath covered by the slag layer.
- CaO lime
- the slag layer in the ladle has a mass of about 1000-3000 kg and is typically between 75 and 150 mm in depth. If the slag layer is too deep, some deslagging may be required. The minimum depth of the slag is determined by factors such as the need to cover exposed upper portions of the ladle lining.
- the aim temperature in the ladle after the tapping operation is about 1590°C.
- the bath of molten steel For purposes of producing globular manganese oxysulfides, it is usually desirable for the bath of molten steel to contain a dissolved oxygen content in the range 60-150 mg/kg (ppm). The particular amount in this range depends upon the manganese and sulfur content of the steel.
- Ladle metallurgy treatment is typically conducted in a ladle metallurgy furnace which is a heated compartment having a removable roof or cover into which is placed the ladle containing the bath of molten steel with a slag layer thereon.
- the slag layer should have a minimum depth sufficient to render unexposed the upper portions of the ladle lining, to protect those ladle portions from the electric arcs with which the ladle metallurgy furnace is heated.
- a typical aim dissolved oxygen content in the molten steel is an amount no greater than 130 mg/kg (ppm). If the oxygen content of the steel in the ladle is greater than the aim amount, the slag in the ladle is further diluted with lime, e.g. about 400-500 kg at a time. The oxygen content is then monitored periodically after the slag has been diluted with lime, and further dilutions with lime are made if necessary.
- the composition of the molten steel in the ladle was, in wt.%: about 0.08 carbon, about 1 manganese, less than 0.002 silicon, nil aluminum, about 0.3 sulfur and less than about 0.08 phosphorous.
- the slag layer had an approximate composition, in wt.%, of about: 40 CaO, 5 SiO2, 5 Al2O3, 2.5 MgO, 30 MnO, 12 FeO and 5.5 S.
- the aim dissolved oxygen content for this example was about 120 mg/kg (ppm).
- the bath of molten steel was stirred electromagnetically.
- stirring is accomplished in one procedure by bubbling a gas upwardly through the bath of molten steel.
- the gas is preferably an inert gas such as argon.
- the stirring gas may also be a mixture of argon and carbon monoxide, and this will be discussed more fully below.
- Stirring may also be accomplished electromagnetically or by other expedients heretofore utilized to obtain a mixing action in a ladle containing a bath of molten steel.
- the diluent oxide or lime may be added to the slag during tapping, during ladle metallurgy treatment or during both. It is necessary to dilute the slag layer because, before dilution, the iron oxide and manganese oxide percentages in the slag relative to the dissolved oxygen content in the molten steel are such that there would be a movement toward equilibrium in the direction of oxygen from the slag oxides entering the bath of molten steel. This is the condition which existed when the molten steel and the slag were still in the steel refining furnace. In other words, the slag which covered the molten steel in the steel refining furnace had MnO and FeO contents which resulted in the equilibrium movement described in the preceding part of this paragraph.
- slag diluent is lime
- other diluent oxides may be employed. These comprise aluminum oxide (Al2O3), magnesium oxide (MgO), zirconium oxide (ZrO) and dolomite (CaMgO2).
- Silica (SiO2) should be avoided as a diluent oxide.
- the dissolved oxygen content of the molten steel bath is decreased without the need to employ solid deoxidizing agents, which are excluded from the bath of molten steel.
- the solidified steel does not contain any additional undesirable oxides which could impair the machinability of the steel.
- the molten steel in the ladle is introduced from the ladle either into ingot molds or into a tundish when a continuous casting operation is employed to solidify the steel.
- the treatment for reducing the dissolved oxygen content in the molten steel can be performed at the tundish in lieu of performing the treatment in the ladle.
- the molten steel would be covered with the same slag layer described above in connection with performing the treatment in the ladle, and the slag layer is diluted with the same diluent oxide (e.g. lime) as is employed in that embodiment of the method performed at the ladle.
- a tundish can contain internal structural elements, such as baffles, dams and weirs, which direct the movement of the molten steel as it flows through the tundish, and this, plus the mixing action due to the ladle stream as well as the general configuration of a tundish and its entry and exit locations, produces sufficient mixing to enable satisfactory performance of the treatment in the tundish.
- the movement of the molten steel through the tundish subjects the molten steel to sufficient mixing action, in the context of the relatively large area of the slag layer-molten steel interface, per unit mass of molten steel, in the tundish.
- Tundish treatment can be performed in those situations where, for one reason or another, expedients for stirring or agitating the molten steel in the ladle are unavailable.
- the bath of molten steel undergoes treatment in a ladle
- the bath can be stirred by bubbling upwardly through the bath a stirring gas composed of argon and carbon monoxide.
- a stirring gas composed of argon and carbon monoxide.
- carbon monoxide there is a percentage of carbon monoxide in the stirring gas which is an equilibrium with carbon and oxygen in the bath of molten steel. This characteristic can be employed to change the dissolved oxygen content in the steel. It will also change the carbon content of the steel, but it will not substantially change the manganese (or iron) content of the steel as does the method wherein the slag is diluted with lime.
- the oxygen content of the molten steel bath is changed by bubbling through the bath a gaseous mixture comprising argon and carbon monoxide
- the oxygen content may be either increased or decreased.
- a gaseous mixture comprising argon and carbon monoxide
- this amount of oxygen is in equilibrium with a gas containing 40% carbon monoxide. If the carbon monoxide content of the gas is below 40% it will remove oxygen (and carbon) from the steel to form additional carbon monoxide. If the carbon monoxide content of the gas is above 40%, oxygen (and carbon) from the carbon monoxide will go into the molten steel.
- oxygen can either be added or withdrawn from the molten steel.
- This method employing carbon monoxide in the stirring gas, may be utilized in connection with the same steels described above in connection with the method wherein a diluent oxide is added to the slag. Both methods are employed with a steel typically containing about 0.06-0.09 wt.% carbon, and the oxygen content is controlled by both methods so that it is at a desired amount in the range of about 60-150 mg/kg (ppm) at the time the steel undergoes solidification. In both methods, solid deoxidizing agents are excluded from the steel.
- Hydrogen can cause problems in the steels described above, and in the method employing carbon monoxide in the stirring gas, hydrocarbon reducing agents are excluded from the bath of molten steel during the performance of the method.
- the percentage of carbon monoxide in the stirring gas which is in equilibrium therewith is information which is either available in handbooks, or its determination is within the ordinary skill of steel-making metallurgists.
- the percentage of MnO or FeO in a covering slag layer which is in equilibrium with that amount of dissolved oxygen is information which is available or determinable.
- the amount of diluent oxide necessary to add to the slag layer in order to reduce the dissolved oxygen content to the desired level is something which can be calculated theoretically, at least initially, but it can also be determined empirically by adding the diluent oxide to the slag layer in batches and thereafter periodically monitoring the dissolved oxygen content of the molten steel. If the oxygen content is not reduced sufficiently after adding a given amount of diluent oxide (e.g. 400-500 kg of lime), an additional amount of diluent oxide can be added until the periodic monitoring of the dissolved oxygen content of the molten steel shows that the desired level has been reached.
- a given amount of diluent oxide e.g. 400-500 kg of lime
- the amount of gas required to change the oxygen content to the desired level can be theoretically calculated, initially, but it can also be determined empirically by continuously or periodically introducing the gas into the bath of molten steel and periodically monitoring the dissolved oxygen content of the molten steel and eventually discontinuing the introduction of the gas into the steel when the oxygen content has changed to the desired level.
