Description

ELONGATED PRODUCT USED FOR DESULPHURIZATION OF A STEEL BATH
TECHNICAL FIELD The invention concerns an elongated product comprising at least one portion, in the following termed reactive composition, that is reactively active when being submerged in a bath of molten steel for the treatment of such melts, particularly for desulphurization and for modification of inclusions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
One of those impurities which have a negative impact on the mechanical properties of steels is sulphur. Sulphur has an unlimited solubility in steel at high temperatures, but the solubility is greatly reduced when the steel solidifies. This leads to precipitation of iron sulphides which have a melting point far below that of the steel. The molten iron sulphide will be deposited in grain boundaries, which can cause cracking during working.
Conventionally a basic (CaO-, MgO-rich) top slag is used for desulphurization. Also injection of powder in the steel melt in connection with after-treatment of the melt in a ladle is known in the art. Further it has been suggested to add desulphurization agents in the form of a powder or a grain shaped material enclosed in a tube- or hose-shaped enclosure. Metallurgists use wire as a term for a product of that kind, a term which will be used also in the following of this text.
It is a condition of an efficient desulphurization that the oxygen activity is low in the steel bath. This is achieved through an initial deoxidation step. Aluminium is a very strong deoxidation agent, but the Al2O3 that is formed through the reaction between added aluminium and oxygen that is dissolved in the melt has a high melting point and forms solid clusters which cause problems in connection with continuous casting.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION It is the purpose of the invention to provide a new reactive mixture in the form of an elongated product, preferably in the form of a wire and in the following referred to as wire, which allows a combined action of desulphurization and modification of inclusions, which is not possible by means of known products of today, particularly for treating steel melts which need to be desulphurized, e.g. melts which contain at least 150 ppm sulphur. This can be achieved therein that the reactive portion of the wire consists of a material composition which contains in weight-% 35-75 % (CaO + CaCO3) and 30-70 % CaSi.
Preferably the reactive composition contains at least 15 % CaO when the reactive composition also contains CaCO3 which is decomposed to CaO + CO2 in the melt. At the desulphurization CaO reacts with dissolved sulphur, oxygen being dissolved in the melt, whether CaO is added in the form of lime (CaO) or is obtained through the decomposition of CaC03. This oxygen is taken up by Ca (from CaSi) and by Si and by possibly existing Al. Preferably the reactive composition of the product contains at least 2 weight-% Al. A conceivable content is 2-10 % Al or 2-5 % Al.
The optimal content of the agents included in the reactive composition depends on the composition of the melt that shall be treated, in the first place the content of oxygen and sulphur. For the treatment of melts which already have a low oxygen potential due to a foregoing deoxidation by means of aluminium and/or silicon or possibly any other deoxidation agent, aluminium in the reactive composition of the product can be excluded.
According to a conceivable application the composition contains 15-45 % CaO. More precisely the content of CaO may amount to 35-45 %, 15-25 % or 30-40 % within the scope of this application. According to another application the content of CaO amounts to 40-60 %. Preferably the reactive composition contains 5-30 % CaC03 or, more precisely depending on the application, 20-30 % CaC03 or 5-15 % CaCO3.
In the case the reactive composition contains 20-30 % CaCO3, the content of CaO may, for example, amount to 15-25 %. In the case the reactive composition does not contain CaCO3, the content of CaO may, for example, amount to 35-45 %.
In a preferred case the composition contains 15-45 % CaO, 40-60 % CaSi and 2-5 Al.
In another case the reactive composition contains 30-40 % CaO, 40-60 % CaSi, 3-8 % Al and 5-15 % CaCO3.
The purpose of the aluminium in the wire that shall be injected in the steel melt is to provide a very low oxygen activity in the injection region and thence locally improve the preconditions for the desulphurization at the same time as conditions are created of a good control of the Al-yield and thence also of the Al-content in the melt, which can allow a comparatively low consumption of aluminium and improved desulphurization, because compensation for reoxidation is facilitated. A wire which contains aluminium in the reactive composition is particularly advantageous for the treatment of steel melts having a high oxygen activity, e.g. 20 ppm or more, and above all for treating steels which have a high oxygen activity in combination with a high sulphur content.
The injection of said reactive agents in the form of a wire gives a desired good inclusion control, because the hard aluminium oxide clusters which are formed at the aluminium deoxidation are modified by means of calcium in CaSi to form calcium aluminates having a low melting point, e.g. (CaO)12 (Al2O3)7. Inclusions of this type are liquid down to 1455°C and they therefore do not give rise to those problems of clogging of casting pipes and of moulds which solid clusters may cause. Besides they are readily separated to be included in the top slag which covers the surface of the ladle in which the injection is carried out.
Preferably a certain amount of CaO is replaced by CaCO3, wherein an improved desulphurization can be obtained through calcination and decomposition of CaCO3 to form CaO and C02 (g), which leads to the generation of very fine CaO grains having a large reaction surface, in combination with an increased stirring of the bath as C02 (g) rises towards the surface. As far as the content of the various ingredients in the reactive composition is concerned, the following may further be mentioned.
CaSi shall exist in an amount of at least 30 %, preferably at least 40 % in order to provide desired deoxidation through its content of Si, at the same time as the hard aluminium oxide clusters that are formed in connection with the oxidation of aluminium which also shall take place in the melt, are modified to calcium aluminates of the type (CaO) i2 (Al2O3)7 inclusions due to the CaSi calcium. At the same time, for the achievement of a desired desulphurization, the reactive composition should contain at least 15 % CaO. The upper limit of CaSi, which is 70 %, preferably max. 60 %, and of CaO + CaCO3, respectively of CaO and CaC03 separately, as is mentioned in the foregoing, is limited because the ratio CaO/Al2O3 (whether CaO is added in the form of lime (CaO) or is obtained through decomposition of CaCO3) in the melt shall be such that calcium aluminates of the said type are formed. If the content of CaO that is added, or is formed, would be too high, there will be formed other, not desirable inclusions having higher melting temperature.
In order to create a desirably low oxygen activity in the injection region, the mixture of reactive agents, i.e. the reactive composition, contains at least 2 % Al. More than 10 % is excess of aluminium and would give bad yield. Preferably the mixture of reactive agents contains max. 8 % Al, but also max. 5 % Al can be sufficient for many applications. The effect that is achieved by the replacement of a certain amount of CaO by CaC03 has been mentioned above. In order to achieve the desired, increased kinetics through the formation of bubbles and by increasing the reaction surface through the almost explosive formation of many small CaO particles, the content of CaCO in the mixture of reactive agents should amount to at least 5 %, and according to an embodiment to at least 20 %. The injection of CaCO3, however, causes a local reduction of the temperature in the melt. Further the injection of CaC03 leads to a certain increase of the carbon content. Therefore the content of CaC03 should be limited to max. 30 %. According to a conceivable embodiment the composition contains 5-15 %.
The elongated product - the wire - may physically - i.e. from a design point of view - be shaped in many different ways within the scope of the invention. It shall have a sufficient bendability in order to be able to be coiled and uncoiled on and from a drum but at the same time have sufficient stiffness in order to be able to be fed down through a slag cover on the surface of a metal melt in a treatment ladle and be submerged in the melt down to as close to the bottom as possible, e.g. to a depth of at least about 2 m, which are requirements that the wire shall satisfy. Typically the wire has a substantially circular cross section with a diameter of 10-25 mm. Wires having outer diameters of 13 mm and 16 mm have been found to function very well. Further the wire shall be designed in such a way - and this particularly concerns the tube- or hose-shaped enclosure of the wire - that the mixture of reactive agents, i.e. the reactive composition, does not react with the melt until at a desired depth beneath the surface of the melt, i.e. as near the bottom as possible.
The envelope of the wire consists of a tube or a hose of metal, suitably a metal which will be molten and be included in the metal melt, preferably without reacting chemically with elements in the melt. Normally the envelope consists of a tube or a hose of steel having a sufficient thickness in order to give the wire sufficient strength, however, not thicker than the wire can be coiled and uncoiled on and from a drum.
