Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for stainless steel production without electrical energy supply based on liquid pig iron and FeCr solids, wherein the liquid pig iron after a pre-treatment in the blast furnace and a DDD treatment (dephosphorization, desilication, desulfurization) heated in an AOD converter, ennobled or alloyed, reduced and finally an adjustment / adjustment of the treated molten steel in a ladle furnace is performed.
  • a DDD treatment dephosphorization, desilication, desulfurization
  • the method is based on a running according to a process model and the metallurgical plant controlling computational technology, in the process model, the behavior for at least one variable process parameter between an actual process variable, a manipulated variable and describes a process end size.
  • An example of the manufacturing process for AISI 304 grades is described.
  • Stainless steels of the ferritic steel group AISI 4xx are conventionally produced in principle from typical scrap in the EAF and later additionally alloyed and decarburized in the AOD converter.
  • pig iron pretreated in a steel mill is melted down Scrap and alloy outside the oven mixed in a pan and then charged into the converter.
  • the object of the invention is that of the WO 2006/050963 A2 Known method with AOD technology for direct charging of pig iron and alloying in the converter for stainless steel production of all stainless steel, such as AISI 3xx, 4xx, 2xx, both austenitic and ferritic range using autogenous chemical energy to use.
  • the stated object for the production of stainless steel number of said steel grade is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1, characterized in that the stainless steel production of all stainless steel in both the austenitic and ferritic in the blast furnace pretreated slag-free liquid quantity of pig iron and separated into two classic "Twin" AOD In the first twin AOD-L converter, the required chemical process steps (the DDD treatment, charging and heating, decarburization and alloying) are carried out using parallel countercurrent flow using autogenous chemical energy First, the DDD treatment and in the second Twin AOD-L converter, first the decarburization is performed.
  • the heating of the pig iron to a desired or required for the subsequent process steps temperature is carried out by Si oxidation.
  • FeSi is charged into the Twin AOD-L converter and oxygen / inert gas mixture is blown through the side nozzles and a top lance into and onto the pig iron.
  • the first Twin AOD-L converter uses a 3- or 4-hole top lance and the second Twin AOD-L converter uses a single-hole top lance.
  • the heating of the pre-metal is carried out according to the invention after the DDD treatment, it is possible, above all, to charge Ni or Ni alloys into the Twin AOD-L converters.
  • the balance energy can be designed in this way.
  • the decarburization and alloying of the melt takes place in the first Twin AOD-L converter after completion of the DDD treatment and charging and heating, while in the second Twin AOD-L Converter after completion of the decarburization and all associated treatment steps (such as desulfurization and alloying with parting off) the pig iron is heated.
  • the separation according to the invention of the pretreated slag-free molten pig iron quantity on two twin AOD-L converters arranged in parallel in the process line downstream of the blast furnace and the process steps carried out in a contrary manner makes it advantageously possible to produce all RST steel grades.
  • there is a decoupling of the demand for electrical energy for all qualities since only the energy already present in the pig iron or via the charged with the charged FeSi autogenous chemical energy is used.
  • a more reliable temperature control, reduced process costs and reduced investment costs are achieved by this separation of the amount of pig iron and the process control, since only smaller quantities of pig iron have to be treated.
  • FIG. 1 In a drawing figure, an exemplary process line for the production of stainless steel is shown.
  • the liquid quantity of pig iron is separated after its exit from the blast furnace 1 and introduced into two twin AOD-L converters 2, 3 arranged downstream of the blast furnace 1.
  • the process steps are carried out in a contrary process, the DDD treatment and the refining and alloying of the molten pig iron.
  • the molten steel from both Twin AOD-L converters is brought together in a ladle 4 and from there to the final adaptation / adjustment in the ladle furnace 5 and from there to the casting machine 6.
  • FIG. 2 the contrary sequence of the process steps carried out in the Twin AOD-L converters 2 and 3 is shown. While in the Twin AOD-L converter 2 (on the left in the drawing) a DDD treatment V7 is started, followed by charging and heating V8 by FeSi followed by AOD treatment V9 with decarburization and alloying to produce, for example, AISI 3xx , 4xx, 2xx stainless steel grades, the DDD treatment V7 in the Twin AOD-L converter 3 (in the drawing on the right) with subsequent charging and heating V8 is only carried out after completion of the AOD treatment V9.
