Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of vacuum treatment of a molten metal in liquid form, such as steel for example.
- a molten metal in liquid form such as steel for example.
- the effervescent steel must generally undergo various complementary metallurgical operations which are carried out in a bag equipped with a vacuum installation. These operations generally consist of a deoxidation of the liquid metal then in its nuance and at temperature before the solidification of this metal in continuous casting or in an ingot mold.
- a so-called degassing treatment is carried out, the efficiency of which is greatly improved by placing the atmosphere under vacuum in contact with the liquid metal. .
- the decarburization of steel occurs by combining oxygen with the carbon dissolved in the metal to form carbon monoxide gas.
- This decarburization is assisted by stirring of the liquid metal carried out for example, by injection of a neutral gas, argon most often, into the liquid steel from the bottom of the ladle.
- Efficient stirring is essential for good decarburization, as well as degassing, because the depression created above the bath affects only a weak layer of steel at the top of the bath. It is therefore essential to continuously supply this reaction zone with the steel located below to ensure the desired overall performance. The same goes for dehydrogenation or denitriding treatments.
- the stirring of the liquid steel however creates an agitation of the surface of the steel covered by the slag.
- This agitation which is further exacerbated when the bag is placed under vacuum, can cause projections of liquid steel and slag on the walls of the bag, the lid or the tank in which the bag to be treated is placed.
- the operator In order to limit such projections and to prevent the liquid metal and the supernatant slag from overflowing, the operator must maintain a safety distance between the surface of the liquid steel at rest and the upper rim of the ladle, the distance called guard height. The compliance with this guard height therefore requires limiting the filling of the metallurgical ladle to a value lower than its nominal value
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for treating larger quantities of liquid metal in a vacuum bag while ensuring the correct course of this treatment.
- the subject of the invention is a process for the vacuum treatment of a molten metal in liquid form comprising the steps consisting in:
- the invention may also have the following characteristics - the treatment is a decarburization treatment which is applied to steel,
- the treated metal is steel which has a carbon content of less than 60 ppm after having been decarburized
- the treatment is a dehydrogenation treatment which is applied to steel
- the treatment is a denitriding treatment which is applied to steel
- the flow of helium injected is greater than or equal to 1.875 Nl / min for 1 ton of molten metal, - the injection of helium is carried out through the wall of the pocket which is provided with gas injectors implanted below the level of liquid metal,
- the invention consists in coupling the use of helium as a stirring gas with the establishment of a guard height lower than usual practices.
- the present inventors have in fact found that by using helium as a stirring gas in place of argon or nitrogen, the phenomena of agitation of the surface of the liquid steel are very significantly attenuated, allowing thus reducing the guard height and therefore increasing the filling rate of liquid metal in the bag, resulting in a significant gain in productivity.
- the vacuum treatment of a molten metal such as steel is carried out by prior filling of a metallurgical ladle until a guard height generally between 0.6 and 1 m is reached, then by placing the bag under vacuum, inside which argon or nitrogen are injected simultaneously to stir the steel.
- the pocket used in this example is of substantially cylindrical shape with a total height of about 4.4 meters and a maximum capacity of 300 tonnes of steel. By setting the guard height to a value of 0.8 m, one can generally process 240 tonnes per pocket.
- the operation was carried out using the method according to the invention by carrying out a vacuum treatment of 240 t of liquid steel in a bag similar to that of the example of the prior art which has just been described, while injecting helium, under the same conditions as above.
- the helium flow rates injected are of the order of 150 Nl / min for each of the porous plugs in the vacuuming phase, ie 1.875 Nl / t / min in all. These flow rates are then increased to 200 Nl / min for each of the plugs when the bag is under a vacuum of 1 mbar or less, ie a total flow of 2.5 Nl / t / min. It is then surprisingly found that the agitation of the surface of the liquid steel is reduced.
- the treatment can be completed during the available period of time, which makes it possible to obtain a steel conforming to the targeted characteristics.
- the injection of the gas into liquid metal can be carried out by any type of injector such as, in particular, at least one porous plug inserted in the bottom of the bag, or at least one lance immersed directly in the liquid metal .
- the process according to the invention is more particularly suited to the implementation of vacuum decarburization treatments of steels, for which it is desired to obtain a final carbon content of less than 60 ppm, but it can be used in any metallurgical process under vacuum requiring stirring and involving compliance with a guard height.
