Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for decarburizing a molten steel in the course of the production of stainless steel in a metallurgical vessel, in particular in a converter, the molten steel being treated with oxygen and optionally an inert gas, in particular argon and / or nitrogen.
- a process for decarburizing a steel melt in particular according to the AOD process, it is known to carry out decarburization by means of an acid inflation process above a carbon content of essentially 0.3% by weight in the steel melt using a corresponding top lance. If the steel melt has a carbon content of less than 0.3% by weight, decarburization is continued by the operation of underbath jets. However, the operation of the underbath jets generally results in insufficient mixing of the molten steel. Furthermore, there is high ferrostatic pressure in the area of the underbath jets, which has a negative effect on decarburization.
- the present invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art and to develop a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device according to the preamble of claims 6 and 7, which realizes a particularly economical and efficient decarburization of the steel melt can be.
- the metal bath is mixed particularly well.
- This measure according to the invention significantly accelerates decarburization compared to the prior art.
- the major part of the oxygen used by the inflator and the opening below the surface of the steel melt is in via the inflator with the steel melt Brought in contact.
- This measure according to the invention significantly accelerates decarburization compared to the prior art.
- just as much gas, in particular oxygen, is blown in through the opening below the surface of the molten steel. that a blockage of the opening is prevented and / or at the same time an adequate bath mixing is ensured.
- the inflator has a blowing lance, and the oxygen is passed through the blowing lance onto the surface of the molten steel.
- the blowing lance has a Laval nozzle, and the oxygen is passed through the Laval nozzle onto the surface of the molten steel.
- Laval nozzles enable technically and economically efficient forms to achieve high flow velocities. Since a slag layer normally floats on the molten steel, the flow velocity of the gas stream directed to the same for the treatment of the molten steel is of crucial importance. Only a high gas velocity, as can be achieved particularly preferably by using a Laval nozzle, guarantees the contact of the gas stream, in particular the oxygen, with the steel melt, and thus sufficient mixing and decarburization of the steel melt.
- a carbon limit of 0.2% by weight in particular a carbon content of 0.3% to 0.4% by weight, particularly preferably a carbon limit of 0.5% by weight, is used in the Steel melt oxygen through a blowing lance equipped with a first Laval nozzle with a flow rate D1 and below the carbon limit in the steel melt oxygen through a blowing lance equipped with a second Laval nozzle with a flow rate D2, where D2 ⁇ D1, passed onto the steel melt, in particular inflated.
- the first and the second Laval nozzle each have different diameters.
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for the combined top and bottom injection of 0 2 and / or inert gas into a metal vessel for the purpose of decarburizing a molten metal, in particular a molten steel, the required amount of 0 2 mainly is blown through one or more top lances, and the required adjustment of the 0 2 and / or inert gas blowing intensity is achieved by changing the lance configuration during operation, ideally by arranging and operating a second blowing lance. In this way, the optimal gas jet is ensured (thorough mixing of the metal bath) and the lance life is increased.
- the second lance is designed for a lower blowing intensity or flow rate.
- the specific blow rate of the second lance is set to a value in the range from 0.5 to 1 Nm 3 / (t * min).
- the lance used has a Laval nozzle on the lance head.
- oxygen and / or inert gas is blown onto the molten metal through the second top lance.
- the second lance is operated at a lower C content in the melt with a lower blowing intensity.
- the mixing ratio between oxygen and inert gas with which the molten metal is applied is adjusted during the process in accordance with the current C content of the melt.
- the critical C content (starting point for the use of the second lance) depends above all on the process conditions, in particular the chemical composition and the temperature of the molten metal, and / or other thermochemical conditions.
- the working position and the blow rate of the lances used are set accordingly during the operation of the decarburization process.
- the dimensions of the lower bath nozzles can be designed to be smaller if the bath is mixed sufficiently than is the case with the method known from the prior art.
- an oxygen / inert gas mixture in particular with a blowing rate of 0.1 to 0.3 Nm 3 / (t * min), is introduced in the area of the under bath nozzles to keep the nozzles free.
- the under bath nozzles are arranged on the bottom or on the side wall of the metallurgical vessel.
- the underbath jets are designed as classic jets and / or sink stones.
- the top lance equipped with a Laval nozzle head is used for decarburization during a first process step.
- the top lance With a carbon content of 0.3% by weight in the molten steel, the top lance is switched off and the further decarburization is continued by blowing in oxygen and, if appropriate, inert gas via one or more sub-bath nozzles.
- the lance is used for approx. 15 - 25% of the total process time.
- This reaction is strongly influenced by the partial pressure of CO.
- the CO partial pressure is suppressed by introducing inert gas (Ar / N 2 ) into the molten steel.
- inert gas Ar / N 2
- this introduction is carried out by one or more sub-bath jets and / or a top lance.
- the decarburization condition in the under bath nozzle is more unfavorable because of the ferrostatic pressure via the under bath nozzle. It is therefore proposed according to the invention to support further decarburization by blowing (top-blowing) and to intensify the mixing.
- the admixture of inert gas is to be restricted in a range specified by the process requirement in order to minimize the inert gas consumption, in particular the Ar / N 2 consumption.
- the total gas flow through the lance should be selected so that a high wear of the lance head and / or nozzle is avoided and a high utilization of the injected gas is ensured.
- the invention relates to a method and a device for decarburization in a refractory-lined vessel, which is preferably in converter form, in the metal manufacturing industry, preferably in the steel and stainless steel producing industries.
- the process according to the invention ensures the optimum mixing that occurs with combined blowing (top + bottom) in a corresponding vessel, in particular a converter, and thus also an improved C transport for CO formation, and, on the other hand, that in the inflation process (top lance -Blowing) lower CO partial pressure, and the decarburization conditions, which are therefore more favorable compared to bottom blowing, are used.
- Bottom blowing is by definition a blowing in of a treatment gas below the surface of the molten metal.
- top blowing is the blowing up of treatment gas onto the surface of the molten metal.
- the decarburization in a metal vessel is divided into two process stages.
- the first stage during which the addition of oxygen determines the rate of the chemical reaction taking place, decarburization takes place at a higher C content by means of combined top and bottom blowing, thus minimizing the amount of gas which is introduced into the metal bath through the bottom nozzles will prevent the floor nozzles from moving.
- a second process step below a critical carbon content in the bath which for example in the case of chromium-containing melts is between 0.3-0.4% by weight of carbon in the steel melt, the mass transfer process taking place during the decarburization determines the reaction rate.
- the ⁇ 2 bubble intensity is reduced accordingly.
- the required amount of 0 2 becomes preferred Embodiment of the method according to the invention mainly blown through the top lance, preferably with the addition of inert gas.
- a second appropriately designed lance is installed and used according to a special embodiment of the method according to the invention, the design of the lance head (with a Laval nozzle) is configured precisely for the requirements in this phase.
- the lance used during the first bubble stage can be changed by mechanical adaptation (changeover or changeover) in such a way that the required blowing intensity and the required gas jet character can be fulfilled.
- the mixing ratios between 0 2 and inert gas through the second lance are adjusted during the decarburization depending on the C content.
- the lower bath nozzles are acted upon with an inert gas mixture in order to prevent the nozzles from moving or closing and to ensure optimal bath mixing.
- a reduction phase can follow, in which the inert gas is blown through the lower bath nozzles and / or top lance.
- the Laval nozzle has a mechanical and / or electromagnetic device for changing the characteristics of the Laval nozzle with regard to the set characteristic flow rate, for example by changing the cross section of the nozzle.
- the top lance is used for decarburization up to a carbon content of 0.3% by weight in the steel melt, from a carbon content of 0.3% by weight in the steel melt, the 0 2 injection is carried out exclusively via floor nozzles
- a first lance is used for decarburization up to a carbon content of 0.3% by weight in the steel melt.
- a second lance for inflating an Ar / N 2/0 2 - used mixture is used for decarburization up to a carbon content of 0.3% by weight in the steel melt.
- the gas flow (Ar / N / 0 2 ) prevailing in the bottom blowing during the second process step is minimized with regard to the premise of preventing the nozzles from closing.
- Fig. 1 shows a device for treating a molten steel
- the device 1 shows a device for decarburizing a molten steel using the AOD process.
- the device 1 has a metallurgical vessel 2, in particular a converter, in which there is a steel melt 3, in particular a melt of a, preferably chromium-rich, stainless steel.
