Description

A kind of method that in the RH refining furnace, adds rare earth
Technical field
The present invention relates to the adding method of a kind of rare earth in steel, be specifically related to a kind of method that in the RH refining furnace, adds rare earth, belong to the ferrous metallurgy field.
Background technology
China is the rare earth big country of world's rare earth resources and output first, also is the big steel country of output of steel first, but the rolling shapes quality also has sizable gap with external advanced level, still has a considerable amount of steel to need import.From the sixties in last century so far, the rare earth steel of China is researched and produced has the history in 50 years, present domestic rare earth steel receives continuous casting process development and adds the puzzlement of technology, the kind and the output of rare earth steel are restricted.
In recent years, in order to satisfy the demand of Nd-Fe-B rare earth permanent magnetic material fast development, enlarged industrial scale to rare earth metal neodymium.In a large amount of separation praseodymium neodymium elements, also separate other light rare earthss such as La, Ce, because market demand is limited, drug on the market to have caused this series products.For this reason, solve La, Ce Application Areas, it also is the rare-earth trade urgent problem that balance is used rare earth resources.Since 2011, after rare earth became the national strategy reserved resources, country strengthened and integrates the rare earth resources dynamics, and the rare earth price rises sharply, and cost pressure increases, and rare earth is used pressure and the challenge that faces under the new situation in steel.
Along with the raising of metallurgical technology level, the content of the content of impurity element, particularly sulphur, oxygen constantly descends in the steel, and the form of inclusion has obtained effective control.The minimizing of impurity element has been also for the performance of RE alloyed effect provides condition in the steel, and rare earth is as the effect of alloy element also more and more significant.Therefore, the effect of research single rare earth in Clean Steel adapts to the development trend of Iron And Steel Industry for the reasonable utilization of rare earth resources, promotes the application of rare earth in metallic substance to have great significance.
Rare earth mainly has cleaning molten steel in steel, compound rare-earth is mingled with, and is mingled with sex change, the microalloying effect.Producing in the standard of rare earth steel at present, mainly is the requirement add-on, and steel middle-weight rare earths content is not required; Stricti jurise is said, is that rare earth is handled steel, and steel middle-weight rare earths massfraction is very low; Almost do not have the solid solution rare earth in the steel, influenced by steel quality, do not give full play to the rare earth metallurgy effect.
Though nearly one period rare earth steel output downslide has appearred, can not show that this work loses value.The research enthusiasm of present international rare earth steel is surging, and related patent U.S. Patent No. emerges in an endless stream.China is big steel country, is moving towards iron and steel power, and the iron and steel in world development from now on must be seen China.This trend has proposed the innovation requirement to iron and steel enterprise.Innovation just has new variety, innovation just has new markets.Rare earth steel should be one of innovation target, exactly because a lot of problem does not solve, the rare earth steel research of China is just had living space, is hopeful.
Up to the present, also do not have suitable rare earth adding method, can satisfy the requirement that rare earth steel is produced, this problem is perplexing the metallargist always.
The steel middle-weight rare earths adds the comparison of technology:
Continuous cast mold is fed the mishmetal silk, higher content of rare earth is arranged in steel, but segregation is serious on the strand transverse section, and the covering slag performance is had considerable influence, and inclusion is assembled the back and is difficult for come-up, needs interpolation equipment and operator, and the production operation difficulty is big.
It is better that tundish is fed bag core mishmetal silk method, rare earth yield height, but instability and fluctuation are bigger, need interpolation equipment and operator, have the nozzle clogging problem.
The LF refining is forward and backward, feeds the mishmetal cored-wire in the forward and backward ladle of VD vacuum, and steel middle-weight rare earths yield is extremely low, and rare earth exists in the steel with the inclusion form basically, and metallurgical effect is not good.
Summary of the invention
It is higher and stable to the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of rare earth yield, continuous casting production direct motion, the method that in the RH refining furnace, adds rare earth that the steel middle-weight rare earths is evenly distributed.
Concrete grammar of the present invention is following:
In steel-making, adopt the Clean Steel production technology, comprise desulfurizing iron, converter terminal control; Carry out deoxidation with aluminium, the refining high-efficiency desulfurization makes in the steel by mass percent total oxygen content T.O≤0.002%; Activity oxygen level a [O]≤0.0005%, [S] content≤0.005%;
The Rare Earth Lanthanum iron alloy is put into RH refining station vacuum charging storehouse;
The molten steel that will possess above condition proceeds in the vacuum-treat of RH refining station molten steel >=during 10min, by calculating good rare earth adding quantity, from the vacuum charging storehouse Rare Earth Lanthanum iron alloy is added in the Vakuumkammer.Its subsequent handling is: molten steel soft blow argon gas after vacuum-treat 2min finishes stirs 10min, and handling to continuous casting is poured into a mould, and casting process requires whole process to protect cast (seal protection prevents secondary oxidation);
Said rare earth adding quantity be controlled in 0.005~0.015wt% scope (technology is all by the add-on of 0.02wt% in the past, be in the past technology 25~50%);
The result shows through experimental study, to the ability of improving steel performance from big to small order be followed successively by lanthanoid metal, mishmetal and metallic cerium;
Along with the Rare Earth Separation development of technology, utilize REE to be solid-solubilized in easily in the alloy and the characteristic that can reduce active rare-earth, slowed down reaction speed should have higher rare earth yield with the adding technology of lanthanoid metal iron alloy mode, better brings into play rare earth and uses.So rare earth material adopts the Rare Earth Lanthanum iron alloy, alloying constituent is selected La5~40wt% for use, Fe60~95wt%, and granularity 20~30mm packs.
In view of the raising of molten steel cleanliness factor,,, draw suitable rare earth adding quantity in 0.005~0.015wt% scope in conjunction with test-results in the past through the calculating of lanthanum oxygen sulphur thermodynamic equilibrium constant.
At RH vacuum refinement station, vacuum condition is reaction down, has thermodynamics and kinetics condition preferably, and rare earth can reduce the amount that generates re inclusion in the molten steel of cleaning, improve the rare earth yield, improves the rare earth solid solution capacity.
Active rare-earth is very strong, and very easily oxidation is so must protection in casting process.
Advantage of the present invention is: present method is based under the Clean Steel basic condition and realizes, adopts present method rare earth yield higher and stable, continuous casting production direct motion; The steel middle-weight rare earths is evenly distributed; Characteristics such as the Rare Earth Lanthanum iron alloy that adopts significantly improves the performance of steel, and cost is low, and is easy and simple to handle; The metallurgy action of microalloying of rare earth steel is obvious, has popularizing application prospect widely.
