BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for refining ultra-low sulfur steel having excellent cleanliness, and more particularly to a method for refining ultra-low sulfur steel by vacuum desulfurization treatment combined with vacuum heat treatment.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, ultra-low sulfur steel is melted by a method in which gas is stirred under a condition in which a desulfurization flux is placed on molten steel in a ladle under atmospheric pressure, or powder for desulfurization is stirred while gas is stirred. A method of injecting into molten steel has been used. In this case, a ladle lid may be used to avoid air oxidation of the molten steel or an increase in the nitrogen concentration due to contact with air in the atmosphere.

According to these desulfurization treatments, gas stirring or powder blowing is performed under atmospheric pressure, so that stirring power is not sufficient, so that the desulfurization rate cannot be made too high. Therefore, when trying to reduce the sulfur concentration in the molten steel to an extremely low sulfur region such as 10 ppm or less,
The processing time is long, during which the temperature of the molten steel drops. Then, the reaction rate is further reduced due to the low temperature of the molten steel, and the repetition of the reaction does not eventually achieve the desired degree of desulfurization.

As described above, in the above-mentioned conventional desulfurization method,
Since the temperature drop during desulfurization is large, it is necessary to raise the tapping temperature prior to the desulfurization treatment to achieve extremely low sulfurization. However, if the tapping temperature is raised too much, the erosion of the converter refractory increases, and the life of the converter furnace is shortened. Further, in order to increase the tapping temperature, it is necessary to reduce the amount of scrap, which is a cold material, in the converter, or to perform a blow-down operation in the converter blowing. These respectively lead to an increase in the hot metal ratio and a decrease in the yield of iron, resulting in a decrease in productivity and an increase in cost. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the temperature of the molten steel by ladle refining in order not to excessively raise the converter tapping temperature.

However, the above-mentioned conventional method has the following problems.

On the other hand, in JP-A-1-100216, since a desulfurizing agent is blown below a hot spot forming region in which blowing acid is heated, temporary desulfurization reaction of a transient occurs during a process in which the desulfurizing agent rises in molten steel. However, this desulfurization agent reaches the hot spot formation area on the molten steel surface, and then resulfurizes at the hot flash point, which is a peroxide state, resulting in extremely low overall desulfurization efficiency. A big problem arises.

For example, when extremely low sulfur steel having a sulfur concentration of 5 ppm or less is melted, Even in such a process with high desulfurization efficiency,
The processing time increases, and the temperature drop during the processing increases. In the case of temperature compensation, the above-mentioned problems occur in the same way in the case of ladle molten steel heating by raising the converter output temperature or injecting oxygen gas under atmospheric pressure.

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have conducted various studies in order to solve the above problems, and have obtained the following findings to complete the present invention. Considering the furnace economy, the ratio D of the inner diameter of the immersion tube to the inner diameter of the ladle is D
It 1 / D 2 to be from 0.5 to 0.8 is advantageous. Under such a premise, it is advantageous to perform desulfurization after heating. When combining the temperature rise of molten steel with desulfurization, if the temperature is raised under atmospheric pressure, the desulfurization efficiency is reduced and the cleanliness of the steel is deteriorated, but the molten steel heated under vacuum is also subjected to vacuum. When desulfurization treatment is performed, unexpectedly, S ≦ 10 ppm, particularly S ≦ 5 ppm, can be achieved in a short time, and cleanliness can be secured. Continue slag reforming by continuing molten steel bubbling after desulfurization to minimize resulfurization.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be briefly described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and then the reason for limiting the respective processing conditions in the present invention as described above will be described in detail together with its operation. In FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the molten steel 12 that has been tapped from the converter (not shown) to the ladle 10 is usually at about 1620 to 1670 ° C., and the immersion pipe 14 is immersed therein. In the illustrated example, the immersion tube 14 is provided with an oxidizing gas upper blowing lance 16, an alloy charging port 18, and an exhaust port 20 appropriately connected to a vacuum device (not shown).

This is a method in which the inside of 14 is evacuated and an inert gas is blown from the lower part of the ladle below the projection plane of the immersion tube via the blowing lance 22 or the porous plug 24. The blowing of the inert gas such as Ar gas is preferably continued from the start to the end of the ladle refining, and all the vacuum treatments in the present invention are performed under the blowing of the inert gas.

At this time, the inner diameter D 1 of the immersion tube and the inner diameter D 2 of the ladle
The reason why the inner diameter of the immersion tube is determined so that the ratio D 1 / D 2 to the value of 0.5 to 0.8 is as follows. The larger the area in the immersion tube where the desulfurization reaction occurs, the larger the reaction interface area in the immersion tube and the higher the desulfurization reaction rate. However,
If the inner diameter of the immersion tube is made larger than necessary, the erosion speed of the immersion tube increases, and problems such as an increase in the frequency of repair of refractories and a decrease in the life of the immersion tube also occur.

Next, first, Al is added to molten steel in a lump, dividedly or continuously under vacuum, and at the same time, an oxidizing gas, that is, an oxygen gas or an oxygen-containing gas is usually added to the inside of a top-blowing lance, injection or immersion tube. After the molten steel is heated by supplying it to the molten steel from the installed immersion tuyere or the upper blowing tuyere, the molten steel is desulfurized and refined under vacuum. In the example shown in the figure, a tuyere is provided above the oxidizing gas.

In the present invention, since the heating is performed under vacuum,
Compared with conventional heating under atmospheric pressure, lower oxides (FeO, MnO
) Is suppressed. If the desulfurization treatment is performed after the heating of the molten steel, inclusions suspended in the molten steel such as alumina generated by the reaction between Al and oxygen during the heating of the molten steel are adsorbed and separated by a desulfurizing agent or desulfurization slag used for the desulfurization treatment. It is possible to separate and remove from the molten steel. However, when the desulfurization treatment is performed first and then the molten steel is heated, some of the alumina-based inclusions generated during the heating are adsorbed by the slag and can be separated and removed, but most of them remain in the molten steel. However, the cleanliness of the steel is deteriorated. Therefore, the desulfurization treatment is performed after the heating of the molten steel. Also,
As a result, even when the desulfurization treatment time is very long, such as in the case of melting extremely low sulfur steel, desulfurization treatment can be performed without increasing the converter tapping temperature.

As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 4-253213, the formation of a lower oxide during heating at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure is suppressed, and the cleanliness of the steel can be ensured. In addition, the subsequent desulfurization treatment is advantageous.

Further, the desulfurization treatment of molten steel under vacuum is because the desulfurization efficiency is more improved than under atmospheric pressure, particularly in the point that the stirring power is increased, as shown in JP-A-1-92314. After desulfurization, Fukuoshi the interior of the dip tube 14 to the atmospheric pressure, an inert gas blown from the blowing lance 22 or a porous slug 24 in immersion depth D 3 of the following 0.5 m state of the atmospheric pressure addition dip tube 14 Gas stirring process is continued.

In order to accelerate the desulfurization reaction, it is necessary to reduce the oxygen potential at the interface of the slag metal, but it is necessary to reduce the lower oxides in the slag. In addition, the lower oxides in the slag cause reoxidation of the molten steel, which lowers the cleanliness of the molten steel.

When the desulfurization treatment is performed in a state where the inside of the immersion tube is kept under vacuum, the slag inside the immersion tube is well stirred, but the slag outside the immersion tube is insufficiently stirred. Further, even when the inside of the immersion tube is treated at atmospheric pressure, if the immersion depth of the immersion tube is large, the agitation of the slag outside the immersion tube also becomes insufficient.

Therefore, the present inventors investigated the influence of the immersion depth of the immersion tube on the lower oxide concentration in the slag by setting the inside of the immersion tube to atmospheric pressure. As a result, when the immersion depth was more than 0.5 m, there was a difference in the lower oxide concentration in the slag inside and outside the immersion tube, and when the immersion depth was less than 0.5 m, the difference in the concentration was significantly small. This is because the upward flow of the molten steel caused by the injection of the inert gas becomes a horizontal flow toward the inner wall of the immersion pipe at the bath surface of the immersion pipe, and when the immersion depth of the immersion pipe exceeds 0.5 m, the flow of the molten steel falls completely at the inner wall of the immersion pipe. When the immersion depth is less than 0.5 m, the horizontal molten steel flow does not change to a complete downward flow, but forms a molten steel flow outside the immersion pipe, thus enabling the slag to be stirred. It is because it becomes.

The metal Ca-containing substance such as Ca-Al may be supplied by means of upward blowing, injection, addition of wire or pushing from the top of molten steel, but this is the present invention which can be processed under vacuum and atmospheric pressure by the same apparatus.

During the vacuum desulfurization treatment, the desulfurizing agent powder is added from the upper blowing lance or the injection lance installed in the immersion tube or the immersion tuyere or the upper wing tuyere inside the immersion tube because of the desulfurization rate during the desulfurization treatment, the desulfurization This is to improve the rate.

When the desulfurization treatment is performed at a degree of vacuum of 100 Torr or less, the gas is blown under vacuum, so that the higher the pressure in the immersion tube (the worse the degree of vacuum), the weaker the agitation power of the blown gas. In addition, since the equilibrium hydrogen concentration increases, the dehydrogenation rate significantly decreases, which is disadvantageous for dehydrogenation. Therefore, in the present invention, the dehydrogenation treatment is performed at a degree of vacuum of 100 Torr or less.

The treatment at a degree of vacuum of 100 Torr or less after the desulfurization treatment may not be able to obtain a sufficient concentration of hydrogen in the molten steel due to the dehydrogenation reaction that occurs simultaneously during the desulfurization treatment under vacuum. This is because it is necessary to perform a dehydrogenation treatment. The reason why the degree of vacuum is set to 100 Torr or less is the same as above.
