A kind of top and bottom combined blown dehydrogenation method of refined-smelting ladle furnace
Technical field
The present invention relates to steelmaking technical field, particularly a kind of ladle refining furnace (LF stove) top and bottom combined blown dehydrogenation method.
Background technology
Hydrogen is the harmful element in the steel, and its existence greatly endangers the performance of steel, causes phenomenons such as hydrogen embrittlement, white point.A large number of experiments show that its performance hazards to steel can be ignored substantially when hydrogen richness is lower than 2ppm in the steel.
Steel-making refining process method of dehydrogenating has physical method and chemical process.
Physical method is the vacuum dehydrogenation method, comprise VD method, RH method, DH method of publication etc., its common feature is that the concentration difference of hydrogen in the gas-liquid two-phase is increased, and has greatly improved the dynamic conditions of dehydrogenation, thereby has made the hydrogen richness in the steel drop to extremely low-level.
The chemical process dehydrogenation mainly by at ladle refining furnace (LF stove) thus go up and in stove, to spray into the purpose that chemical powder reaches dehydrogenation by blowing device, adopt the dehydrogenation of injection metallurgy synthetic powder as China Patent No. CN185100331 invention disclosed, China Patent No. CN86107918 invention disclosed adopts the rare earth alloy method of dehydrogenating, and China Patent No. CN1030793 invention disclosed adopts winding-up CCl
4With Ar mixing dehydrogenation method.
The problem that the vacuum dehydrogenation method exists is, because the vacuum facility investment is big, it is with high costs to vacuumize, therefore steel grade will increase considerably product cost through the vacuum flow process, and, caused influence for the temperature control of molten steel and the continuity of technical process owing to there is not heating system during vacuum-treat.
The problem of spraying the chemical powder dehydriding is, because the prematurity still at present of winding-up chemical powder technology, and blowing powder can increase in the steel and be mingled with, thereby causes the reduction of molten steel cleanness.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of top and bottom combined blown dehydrogenation method of refined-smelting ladle furnace, can realize removing hydrogen in the steel, simplify the process for making flow process, save production cost, enhance productivity without the vacuum flow process.
For achieving the above object, solution of the present invention is:
A kind of top and bottom combined blown dehydrogenation method of refined-smelting ladle furnace, it comprises the steps:
A) the original Graphite Electrodes of ladle refining furnace is replaced by hollow graphite electrode, is blown into gas from the hollow graphite electrode top, the bottom is by air permeation device bottom blowing Ar; The ladle refining furnace ladle enters heating station, falls electrode, according to the difference of steel grade, connects the bottom blowing pipeline, opens vent valve, carries out argon bottom-blowing and stirs, the normal metallurgy of beginning ladle refining furnace;
B) the normal smelting process of ladle refining furnace finishes, in the molten steel outer other compositions of dehydrogenation qualified substantially after, according to ladle refining furnace ladleful 100t~300t and smelt the difference of steel grade, control the flow≤10m of bottom-blown air brick well
3/ min and pressure 2MPa~10MPa open top blast air pipe valve top blast argon gas, gaseous tension 1.5MPa~10MPa, flow≤10m
3/ min and gassing time≤60min form good dehydrogenation condition in stove;
C) adopt top and bottom complex blowing 5~60min, promote electrode then, stop top-blown gas and bottom blown gas simultaneously, perhaps only stop top-blown gas, proceed the bottom blowing operation;
D) stop ladle refining furnace at last and all operate, ladle is sent into next station.
The present invention transforms ladle refining furnace (LF stove) electrode system, original solid Graphite Electrodes is replaced to hollow graphite electrode, hollow graphite electrode is connected with the top blast airing system, this top blast system combines with the original bottom blowing device of LF stove, be blown into gas simultaneously in the end by top in the LF stove, reach the purpose that removes hydrogen in the steel.
The aperture of hollow graphite electrode is 1/20 to 3/5 of an electrode diameter, at the LF stove between refining period, gas permeable brick and top hollow graphite electrode by ladle bottom are blown into gas simultaneously, the micro bubble that the gas that utilize the element generation chemical reaction in the hydrogen and plasma components in the steel, is blown into forms increases the effect of the forming core core of the interfacial area of dehydrogenation reaction and bubble hydrogen, thereby formed the thermodynamics and kinetics condition that helps dehydrogenation, the hydrogen in the steel has been removed.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
1.LF furnace roof bottom combined blown dehydrogenation method does not need existing installation is carried out by a relatively large margin change, only needs the Graphite Electrodes processing of holing is installed additional one and overlapped top blast gas system, equipment can meet the demands.
2. under the situation that does not adopt the vacuum flow process, the present invention can make also that hydrogen richness drops to below the 2ppm in the steel, and the minimum 0.7ppm that reaches can substitute the dehydrogenation of vacuum flow process fully.
3.LF furnace roof bottom combined blown dehydrogenation method can be controlled temperature better than the vacuum outgas method, thereby matches with continuous casting process better.
