Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of production of low steels nitrogen contents. It is advantageously applied to the development of shades at low and very low carbon.
- the manufacturing processes, or the nuance of certain steels therefore sometimes require very low nitrogen contents on the final product obtained, for example, to fix ideas, from 15 to 25 ppm for sheets intended for automobile construction or for steels for packaging, around 50 ppm for plates on offshore platforms, or from 40 to 60 ppm for tire reinforcement wires, etc.
- These nitrogen contents are expected at the steelworks, at all stages of the development of molten metal, from the furnace electric, or from the converter until it solidifies with continuous casting.
- the elaboration in the electric oven in particular, is distinguished by a strong contamination in nitrogen of the metal, due to the cracking of the nitrogen molecule from the air in the thermal zone of the electric arc which facilitates its transfer to the liquid metal.
- a N is the dissolved nitrogen activity, which can be assimilated to the nitrogen content of the metal in the case of low-alloy carbon steels
- P N2 is the partial nitrogen pressure of the gas in contact with the liquid metal. This means that in the presence of atmospheric N 2 , the nitrogen content of the metal will continuously increase towards its solubility limit, which is in the vicinity of 430 ppm at the temperature of the molten steel (approximately 1600 ° C.).
- this gas can be argon or helium injected, but at low flow rate and with a high cost, or carbon monoxide formed in situ by the decarburization of the metal during the injection of oxygen, which is conventionally practiced in gaseous or particulate form (see for example the article by K. Shinme and T. Matsuo, "Acceleration of nitrogen removal with decarburization by powdered oxidizer blowing under reduced pressure", published in the Japanese journal ISIJ in 1987).
- JP-A-63 206 421 relates to a process for advanced denitriding of a steel bath by means of a simultaneous and separate injection of gaseous hydrocarbon and powdery oxide.
- the purpose of the present invention is precisely to promote denitriding of molten metal which exploits the denitriding potential of the washing gas on the one hand, and which allows, on the other hand, to control the final nitrogen content independently of the content initial carbon of the metallic bath, whereas this is currently the case with a classic decarburization.
- the invention relates to a process for denitriding molten steel being developed by oxygen blowing as defined in claim 1.
- carbon and oxygen are injected jointly but separately and side by side at the same level of the metal bath (at a distance of about 20 cm from each other for example).
- the carbon content of the metal bath is not modified.
- the co-injection technique according to the invention has been tested and implemented under industrial conditions in a small oven with a capacity of 6 tonnes, by simultaneously supplying carbon and oxygen by two independent injection lances whose outlet ends were placed side by side at the same level within the molten steel bath to be treated, about twenty centimeters from each other.
- the carbon was supplied by a coal with low sulfur and nitrogen contents (weight contents lower than 0.1% for these two elements), and using either argon or nitrogen as carrier gas .
- the oxygen was supplied either by injection of gaseous O 2 or by injection of iron ore (equivalent to 0.2 Nm 3 of O 2 per 1 kg of ore).
- the denitriding method of the invention turns out to be flexible enough to realization to allow multiple variants of implementation, which are mentioned below some examples:
- Any oxidizing gas, or any oxidizing powder iron ore, but also manganese ore, silica powder, etc.
- any type of carbon product can be used for the purpose of adding carbon.
- Co-injection according to the invention can be carried out without particular difficulties in the electric furnace, but also in the O 2 blowing converter from the top (type LD, AOD) or from the bottom (type OBM, LWS); in a pocket oven or in vacuum systems, type RH, where one can also benefit from the effect of vacuum on denitriding (P N2 low above the metal bath).
- This technique can be particularly interesting in the case of an oven electric double-tank, where the denitriding phase by simultaneous supply of carbon and oxygen can be done in masked time while the merger of a new metallic charge in the other tank energized. For this, the denitriding operation will be done at the end of the development of a load, without electric voltage, the electric power being transferred to the other tank for the fusion of the next charge, without loss of productivity for the steelworks.

Description
- la figure 1 est un graphique montrant l'évolution comparée de la teneur pondérale en azote d'un bain d'acier au four électrique contenant plus de 0.15% de carbone en poids, en fonction du volume de CO émis dans le bain, à partir d'une injection solitaire d'oxygène (courbe a) et à partir d'une co-injection carbone-oxygène selon l'invention (courbe b);
- la figure 2 est un graphique analogue à celui de la figure précédente, mais sur bain décarburé, c'est-à-dire dans le cas où la teneur pondérale en carbone du bain métallique est faible, à savoir inférieur à 0.1%;
- la figure 3 est un graphe montrant l'évolution comparée de la teneur pondérale en azote en fonction du volume de CO émis dans le bain par co-injection carbone-oxygène selon la nature du gaz de de transport du carbone injecté.
