Description

本発明は、Al脱酸またはAl-Si脱酸した溶鋼を収納した溶鋼中に添加した取鍋内スラグの改質方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for reforming slag in a ladle added to molten steel containing molten steel that has undergone Al deoxidation or Al-Si deoxidation.

Al脱酸またはAl-Si脱酸した溶鋼を取鍋に収納したとき、溶鋼表面のスラグに含まれるFeO,MgO等の低級酸化物によって溶鋼中のAlが再酸化され、アルミナが生成される。その結果、鋼の清浄性が悪化し、鋼の靭性低下、鋼の表面品位低下、鋳造時ノズル詰まりなどが発生する。   When Al deoxidized or Al-Si deoxidized molten steel is stored in a ladle, Al in the molten steel is reoxidized by lower oxides such as FeO and MgO contained in the slag on the surface of the molten steel to produce alumina. As a result, the cleanliness of the steel deteriorates, and the toughness of the steel decreases, the surface quality of the steel decreases, and the nozzle clogging occurs during casting.

そこで従来から特許文献2〜4に示されるように、取鍋のスラグ上に改質材を添加することにより、スラグ中の低級酸化物を還元あるいは希釈し、溶鋼中のAlの再酸化を抑制する方法が用いられている。これらの特許文献には、スラグ上にAl,Si,Ti,Ca,Mg,Zr,MgO,CaO−Al等のスラグ改質材を添加することが開示されている。 Therefore, as shown in Patent Documents 2 to 4, conventionally, by adding a modifier on the slag of the ladle, the lower oxides in the slag are reduced or diluted to suppress the reoxidation of Al in the molten steel. Method is used. These patent documents disclose that a slag modifier such as Al, Si, Ti, Ca, Mg, Zr, MgO, CaO—Al 2 O 3 is added to the slag.

しかし、これらのスラグ改質材は還元力が不足しており、改質のために多量の添加を必要とする。また、溶鋼の清浄性を悪化させるのは主としてスラグが溶鋼と接する溶鋼側の界面であるから、スラグ上面から改質材を投入する場合には大量の投入が必要となる。このように従来の改質法では、改質材の多量添加を必要とし、コスト面の問題があった。

However, these slag modifiers have insufficient reducing power and require a large amount of addition for reforming. In addition, the cleanliness of the molten steel is deteriorated mainly at the interface on the molten steel side where the slag is in contact with the molten steel. Therefore, when a reformer is introduced from the upper surface of the slag, a large amount of addition is required. As described above, the conventional reforming method requires the addition of a large amount of the reforming material and has a problem of cost.

本発明は上記した従来の問題点を解決し、多量のスラグ改質材を用いることなく、鋼の清浄性を向上させることができ、鋼の靭性向上、表面品位向上、鋳造時ノズル詰まりの抑制などの効果を得ることができる取鍋内スラグの改質方法を提供するためになされたものである。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, can improve the cleanliness of steel without using a large amount of slag modifier, improves the toughness of the steel, improves the surface quality, and suppresses nozzle clogging during casting. It is made in order to provide the modification | reformation method of the slag in a ladle which can acquire the effects of these.

上記の課題を解決するためになされた本発明の取鍋内スラグの改質方法は、Al脱酸またはAl-Si脱酸した溶鋼中に、Ceを含む希土類元素添加剤をCe濃度が3ppm以上となるように添加したうえ、溶鋼中に添加したSをトレーサーとして、平衡濃度の±5%に達した時間として定義される均一混合時間τの2〜10倍の時間にわたり、CAS,RH、ボトムバブリングのいずれかの方法によって溶鋼を攪拌することにより、上記希土類元素添加剤により取鍋内スラグを還元することを特徴とするものである。なお、Ceを含む希土類元素添加剤として、CeのほかにLa,Pr,Ndから選択された1種以上の希土類元素を含むものを用いることができる。 The method for reforming slag in a ladle according to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problem is that a rare earth element additive containing Ce is added in a molten steel obtained by deoxidizing Al or deoxidizing Al-Si with a Ce concentration of 3 ppm or more. after having added to a, the S added to molten steel as a tracer, over 2 to 10 times the uniform mixing time τ, which is defined as the time reaches ± 5% of the equilibrium concentration, CAS, RH, bottom By stirring the molten steel by any method of bubbling , the slag in the ladle is reduced by the rare earth element additive . In addition, as the rare earth element additive containing Ce, one containing one or more rare earth elements selected from La, Pr, and Nd in addition to Ce can be used.

本発明の取鍋内スラグの改質方法によれば、Alよりもはるかに強力な脱酸力を持つREMを溶鋼中に添加し、均一混合時間τの2〜10倍の時間にわたり攪拌を行うことにより、REMとスラグとの接触性を高め、スラグの溶鋼側界面を優先して改質することができる。このため、従来のような大量の改質材を用いることなく低コストでスラグを改質することができ、鋼の清浄性の向上、鋼の靭性向上、表面品位向上、鋳造時ノズル詰まりの抑制などの効果を得ることができる。   According to the method for reforming slag in a ladle according to the present invention, REM having a deoxidizing power much stronger than that of Al is added to molten steel, and stirring is performed for 2 to 10 times the uniform mixing time τ. Thereby, the contact property of REM and slag can be improved, and the molten steel side interface of slag can be improved preferentially. For this reason, it is possible to modify slag at low cost without using a large amount of modifying material as in the past, improving steel cleanliness, improving steel toughness, improving surface quality, and suppressing nozzle clogging during casting. Such effects can be obtained.

図1は本発明の実施形態を示す断面図である。溶鋼鍋1中のAl脱酸またはAl-Si脱酸された溶鋼2に、Ceを含む希土類元素添加剤3が添加され、スラグ4の改質が行われる。希土類元素添加剤3としては、CeのほかにLa,Pr,Ndから選択された1種以上の希土類元素を含むものを用いることができる。この実施形態では、溶鋼鍋1中の溶鋼2はRH(真空脱ガス設備)5により攪拌処理されている。しかし、溶鋼2の攪拌方法はこの実施形態に示したRHのほか、CAS,BB(ボトムバブリング)など任意の方法を採用することができる。 FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention. A rare earth element additive 3 containing Ce is added to the Al 2 deoxidized or Al—Si deoxidized molten steel 2 in the molten steel pan 1 to reform the slag 4. As the rare earth element additive 3, one containing one or more rare earth elements selected from La, Pr and Nd in addition to Ce can be used. In this embodiment, the molten steel 2 in the molten steel pan 1 is stirred by an RH (vacuum degassing facility) 5. However, the stirring method of the molten steel 2 can employ any method such as CAS, BB (bottom bubbling) in addition to the RH shown in this embodiment.

溶鋼2中に通常の合金成分を添加した場合には、均一混合時間τに相当する時間だけ攪拌を行うのが普通である。この均一混合時間τは、溶鋼中に添加した、通常はS、場合によってはCu等をトレーサーとして、トレーサーの濃度が平衡濃度の±5%に達した時間として定義されたものである。しかし本発明では、希土類元素添加剤3を溶鋼2中に均一分散させることが目的ではないので、添加した後の攪拌時間は、均一混合時間τの2〜10倍の時間とする。 When ordinary alloy components are added to the molten steel 2, stirring is usually performed for a time corresponding to the uniform mixing time τ. This uniform mixing time τ is defined as the time when the concentration of the tracer reaches ± 5% of the equilibrium concentration, with S being added to the molten steel, usually S, and in some cases Cu or the like as the tracer. However, in the present invention, since the purpose is not to uniformly disperse the rare earth element additive 3 in the molten steel 2, the stirring time after the addition is 2 to 10 times the uniform mixing time τ.

このように希土類元素添加剤3の添加後に長時間の攪拌を行うことにより、希土類元素添加剤3は溶鋼2の表面のスラグ4と接触し、3MO+2R→R+3Mの反応式(ただしM:Fe,Mn、R:Ce,La,Pr,Nd)に従ってスラグ4中のFeOやMnOを還元し、スラグ4を改質する。 In this way, the rare earth element additive 3 comes into contact with the slag 4 on the surface of the molten steel 2 by stirring for a long time after the addition of the rare earth element additive 3, and the reaction formula of 3MO + 2R → R 2 O 3 + 3M (however, M : Fe, Mn, R: Ce, La, Pr, Nd), FeO and MnO in the slag 4 are reduced and the slag 4 is modified.

このように溶鋼2中に添加した希土類元素添加剤3によってスラグ4の改質を行わせるには、均一混合時間τの2倍以上の時間にわたり攪拌を継続することが必要である。図2のグラフは、攪拌時間によるスラグ酸化度の変化を示すもので、攪拌時間が均一混合時間τの2〜10倍の範囲でスラグ酸化度が最も低下していることが分る。攪拌時間が長すぎると、溶鋼2の温度が低下するうえ、溶鋼鍋1などの耐火物の溶損も生じ易いので、コスト的にも見合わなくなる。 In order to cause the slag 4 to be reformed by the rare earth element additive 3 added to the molten steel 2 in this way, it is necessary to continue stirring for a time that is at least twice the uniform mixing time τ. The graph of FIG. 2 shows the change of the slag oxidation degree with the stirring time, and it can be seen that the slag oxidation degree is the lowest in the range where the stirring time is 2 to 10 times the uniform mixing time τ. If the stirring time is too long, the temperature of the molten steel 2 is lowered and the refractory such as the molten steel pan 1 is likely to be melted.

なお、溶鋼の脱酸元素としてはAlが一般的である。しかし図3、図4のグラフに示すように、希土類元素添加剤はAlに比較して非常に微量で優れた脱酸効果を示す。図3、図4の縦軸はスラグ酸化度指数であり、スラグ中のFeO、MnO等の低級酸化物の濃度を指数化したものである。すなわち、図4に示すように溶鋼中のスラグ酸化度指数を例えば6にするためには、Alを用いるとその濃度は500ppmとしなければならない。これに対して脱酸元素としてREMの一種であるCeを用いた場合、図3に示されるように、スラグ酸化度指数を同じ6にするために必要なCeの濃度は3ppmでよく、添加量を非常に少なくすることができる。このため本発明によれば、脱酸元素であるCeの添加量は従来に比較してごく微量でよい。 In addition, Al is common as a deoxidizing element for molten steel. However, as shown in the graphs of FIGS. 3 and 4, the rare earth element additive exhibits an excellent deoxidation effect in a very small amount as compared with Al. The vertical axis in FIGS. 3 and 4 is the slag oxidation degree index, which is an index of the concentration of lower oxides such as FeO and MnO in the slag. That is, as shown in FIG. 4 , in order to set the slag oxidation degree index in molten steel to 6, for example, when Al is used, its concentration must be 500 ppm. On the other hand, when Ce which is a kind of REM is used as a deoxidizing element, as shown in FIG. 3 , the concentration of Ce necessary for making the slag oxidation degree index the same 6 may be 3 ppm. Can be greatly reduced. Therefore, according to the present invention, the addition amount of Ce , which is a deoxidizing element, may be very small as compared with the conventional case.

また本発明によれば、従来のようにスラグ4の上面から改質材を投入するのではなく、溶鋼2との接触によりスラグ改質が行われる。このため鋼の性状に影響を与えるスラグ4の溶鋼側界面を優先して改質できる利点があり、この点からもスラグ改質材の過剰投入が不要となる。   Further, according to the present invention, the slag reforming is performed by contact with the molten steel 2 instead of introducing the reforming material from the upper surface of the slag 4 as in the prior art. For this reason, there is an advantage that the molten steel side interface of the slag 4 that affects the properties of the steel can be preferentially reformed. From this point, too much slag reforming material is not required.

図1に示した溶鋼鍋内の1600℃の極低炭素鋼の溶鋼280トンに対して、Ceを含む希土類元素添加剤として表1に示す組成のFe-Si-REMを100kg添加し、RHにより攪拌した。その均一混合時間τは70秒であるのに対し、攪拌時間は120秒とし、攪拌時間/均一混合時間τの値は1.7である。この結果、溶鋼界面スラグ中のT−Fe+MnOは4%となり、十分なスラグ改質がなされた。 100 kg of Fe-Si-REM having the composition shown in Table 1 as a rare earth element additive containing Ce is added to 280 tons of ultra-low carbon steel at 1600 ° C. in the molten steel pan shown in FIG. Stir. The uniform mixing time τ is 70 seconds, whereas the stirring time is 120 seconds, and the value of stirring time / uniform mixing time τ is 1.7. As a result, T-Fe + MnO in the molten steel interface slag was 4%, and sufficient slag reforming was performed.

第1の比較例:上記実施例において、他の条件は同一としたままでREMの添加をなくしたところ、溶鋼界面スラグ中のFeO+MnOは25%であり、スラグ改質がなされていない。   First comparative example: In the above example, when REM was not added while the other conditions were the same, FeO + MnO in the molten steel interface slag was 25%, and slag reforming was not performed.

第2の比較例:上記実施例において、REMの添加量を10kgとし、攪拌時間を10秒とした。この場合は攪拌時間/均一混合時間τの値は0.14である。この場合、溶鋼界面スラグ中のFeO+MnOは22%であり、スラグ改質がなされていない。   Second Comparative Example: In the above example, the amount of REM added was 10 kg, and the stirring time was 10 seconds. In this case, the value of the stirring time / uniform mixing time τ is 0.14. In this case, FeO + MnO in the molten steel interface slag is 22%, and slag reforming is not performed.

第3の比較例:実施例と同一条件の溶鋼に表2に示す組成のショットAlを800kg添加した後、180秒攪拌した。この場合は攪拌時間/均一混合時間τの値は2.57である。この場合、溶鋼界面スラグ中のFeO+MnOは6%でありかなりのスラグ改質がなされたが、ショットAlの添加量は実施例のREM添加量に比較して8倍を要した。   Third Comparative Example: After 800 kg of shot Al having the composition shown in Table 2 was added to molten steel having the same conditions as in the example, the mixture was stirred for 180 seconds. In this case, the value of the stirring time / uniform mixing time τ is 2.57. In this case, FeO + MnO in the molten steel interface slag was 6%, and considerable slag reforming was performed. However, the amount of shot Al added was 8 times the amount of REM added in the example.
