89 common sense of steelmaking

1. Ways to accelerate lime slagging?
Answer: ①Improve the quality of lime and use soft-burned active lime.
②Properly improve the composition of the flux ③Increase the blowing temperature. ④Control the appropriate gun position ⑤Use synthetic slag
 
 
2. Why should molten steel be deoxidized?
Answer: If the molten steel is not deoxidized, the continuous casting billet cannot get the correct solidification structure. High oxygen content in steel can also produce defects such as subcutaneous bubbles and looseness, and aggravate the harmful effects of sulfur. The generated oxide inclusions remaining in the steel will reduce the mechanical properties such as plasticity and impact toughness of the steel. Therefore, the excess oxygen in the steel must be removed.
 
 
3. Which aspects should be taken to prevent explosive splashing during the blowing process?
Answer: (1) Control the temperature of the molten pool. ⑵Control (TFe) does not appear aggregation phenomenon. ⑶ Do not drop the gun easily once splashing occurs during blowing. ⑷When the furnace temperature is very high, white ash can be added to thicken the slag while lifting the gun.

10. Why use argon instead of nitrogen for blowing and stirring?
Answer: The argon in the inert gas does not dissolve in molten steel, and does not react with any element. It is a very ideal stirring gas, so it is widely used. In terms of stirring, nitrogen is the same as argon, and nitrogen is cheap, but nitrogen can dissolve in molten steel at high temperature, and the amount of nitrogen increase increases with the increase of temperature and the extension of nitrogen blowing time. When the temperature is higher than 1575℃ At this time, the nitrogen content in the steel can be increased by 0.003%, which affects the quality of the steel. Therefore, the use of nitrogen as a stirring gas is restricted. Only a small amount of nitrogen-containing steel can be used as a stirring gas, and there is also an unstable nitrogen increase problem.

Requirements.
 
 
18. Combining the conditions before, during and after blowing, briefly describe the operation of constant pressure changing gun.
Answer: The constant flow variable lance position operation means that the oxygen supply flow remains unchanged during the blowing process of a furnace of steel, and the blowing is controlled by adjusting the lance position to change the interaction between the oxygen flow and the molten pool. Most manufacturers in our country use staged constant flow change gun position operation. Due to the different conditions of converter tonnage, nozzle structure, raw material conditions and steel types, the operation of the oxygen lance is not exactly the same. There are currently two operating modes of the oxygen lance as follows. ①High-low-high-low gun position mode. The blowing gun position is relatively high, and the initial slag is formed early. After the second batch of rice is added, the gun can be lowered in time. When the slag is returned to dry in the middle of the blowing, the gun can be lifted or an appropriate amount of flux can be added to adjust the slag fluidity to shorten the blowing time. Pull carbon out of steel. ⑵High-low-low gun position mode. The blowing gun position is higher, and the initial slag is formed as soon as possible; the gun position is gradually reduced during the blowing process, and an appropriate amount of flux is added in the middle of the blowing process to adjust the fluidity of the slag, and the end point is carbon steel.

34. Why is [Si] often used to express furnace temperature in blast furnace production?
Answer: Whether Si is reduced from the liquid state or from the gaseous state, a very high temperature is required. The higher the hearth temperature, the more Si is reduced into the pig iron. On the contrary, the less Si in the pig iron. Production statistics show that the hearth temperature (slag iron temperature) has a linear relationship with the Si content of pig iron. Therefore, [Si] is often used to express furnace temperature in blast furnace production, and [Si] has become synonymous with hearth temperature. Of course, there are sometimes incomplete matches, which indicates that the hearth works abnormally, and it only appears in very rare cases.
 
 
35. What is the oxidation of molten steel?

60. What role does the secondary combustion oxygen lance play? What are the types?
Answer: The post-combustion oxygen lance is divided into single-channel and double-channel. The use of a secondary combustion oxygen lance is also a kind of thermal compensation technology. By supplying oxygen, the CO gas discharged from the molten pool is partially burned, and supplementing the heat in the furnace is the secondary combustion.
The oxygen enters the nozzle from one channel and is divided into two streams. One stream of oxygen flows through the main orifice channel of the Laval nozzle, and the other stream enters the auxiliary channel of the straight orifice. The oxygen flow entering the main channel of Lavalcone is used for smelting; the oxygen entering the auxiliary flow channel is used for the combustion of CO gas in the furnace, also called end-type secondary combustion oxygen lance; its gun body is still three Layer concentric circular casing.

61. What is active lime, what are the characteristics of active lime, and what are the benefits of using active lime?
Answer: Usually the lime that is roasted in a rotary kiln or a new type of shaft kiln (sleeve kiln) at a temperature of 1050-1150°C has high reactivity, small bulk density, high porosity, large specific surface area, and fine grains. The high-quality lime is called active lime, also called soft burnt lime.
 
The water activity of activated lime is greater than 310ml, the volume density is small, about 1.7-2.0g/cm3, the porosity is as high as 40%, the specific surface area is 0.5-1.3cm2/g; the crystal grains are small, the melting speed is fast, and the reaction capacity is strong . The use of active lime can reduce the consumption of lime and fluorite and the amount of converter slag, which is beneficial to improve the desulfurization and dephosphorization effects, and reduce the heat loss of the converter and the corrosion of the furnace lining. It is also difficult to form dense dicalcium silicate on the surface of the lime. The shell helps to accelerate the slagging of lime.
 
 
62. In the hot metal pretreatment, why must the hot metal dephosphorization be desiliconized first?
Answer: Hot metal pre-desiliconization technology is developed based on hot metal pre-dephosphorization technology. Since the affinity of oxygen and silicon in molten iron is greater than that of phosphorus, when an oxidant is added for dephosphorization, silicon is oxidized preferentially than phosphorus, and the formed SiO2 greatly reduces the alkalinity of the slag. For this reason, the silicon content must be reduced to below 0.15% before dephosphorization, which is far lower than the silicon content of the molten iron in the blast furnace. Therefore, it must be desiliconized before dephosphorization.
 
 
63. What is a converter furnace type and what are the basis for choosing a converter furnace type?

Answer: The main source of steelmaking slag is: oxides formed by oxidation of various impurity elements (such as Si, Mn, P, etc.) contained in iron and steel materials (hot metal, scrap steel); added to remove sulfur and phosphorus in molten iron Slag-making materials (lime, etc.) and fluxes (fluorite, etc.); ore, sintered ore, iron oxide scale and other materials added as oxidants or coolants bring impurities; lining refractories that are eroded or washed down; Sediment impurities brought in by raw materials.
 
 
66. What is the effect of adding Nb, V and Ti elements to steel for microalloying?
Answer: Adding Nb, V, and Ti elements to steel can combine with [C] and [N] to form carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides. These compounds dissolve at high temperatures, and precipitate at low temperatures to inhibit grain growth and Precipitation strengthening effect. As a result, the carbon equivalent is reduced, but the strength and toughness of steel are greatly improved, and it has a significant cost advantage.
 
 
 
67. What are the characteristics and mineral composition of the slag in the middle stage of converting?
Answer: In the middle of converting, the [C] and [O] reactions in the furnace are fierce, and the slag is prone to "dry back". Its characteristics: high alkalinity and low ferrous oxide content. The slag mineral composition is: the main phases are dicalcium silicate and tricalcium silicate. When the lime is added, there is more free CaO. The higher the alkalinity, the greater the amount of tricalcium carbonate and the more free CaO, which is unfavorable for the smelting effect.
 
 
68. What is slag "drying back"? Why does the slag "dry back"?
Answer: Back-drying refers to the phenomenon that the slag that has been melted or partially melted becomes sticky or even becomes large. In the middle of converting, the carbon is violently oxidized, and the iron oxide in the slag is reduced, resulting in high melting point 2CaO·SiO2, FeO and MnO reduction. Part of the solid matter is precipitated, which makes the slag sticky, and in severe cases, it forms large pieces.
 
 
69. What are the main measures to improve the life of the converter?
Answer: (1) Improve the quality of refractory linings. (2) Adopt comprehensive furnace building technology. (3) The slag is equipped with an appropriate amount of magnesium oxide (MgO). (4) Using computer dynamic control, that is, the best smelting control, to increase the end-point hit rate, that is, to shorten the smelting cycle. (5) Carry out effective gunning and maintenance. (6) Improve the spray gun structure. (7) Lower the tapping temperature as much as possible. (8) Reduce the shutdown time.
 
 
70. What is the role of carbon-oxygen reaction in the steelmaking process?

4) Reduce the fatigue limit of steel. 5) Reduce the cold bending performance of steel. 6) Reduce the electromagnetic properties of steel.
 
 
73. Please write down the reaction equation of the converter dephosphorization and briefly describe the basic factors that affect the dephosphorization effect of the converter?
Answer: 1) The effect of slag alkalinity: Increasing alkalinity can improve dephosphorization ability, but too high alkalinity affects slag viscosity and is not conducive to dephosphorization.
2) The influence of (FeO): increasing the content of (FeO) in the slag can improve the dephosphorization ability.
3) Influence of temperature: Dephosphorization is an exothermic reaction, and lowering the temperature is beneficial to dephosphorization.
4) The influence of slag amount: increasing the slag can dilute the (P2O5) concentration in the slag and increase the amount of dephosphorization.
5) Influence of slag viscosity: proper slag viscosity is easy to mix with slag and steel, which improves the slag dephosphorization ability.
 
 
74. Briefly describe the task of deoxidizing molten steel.
Answer: 1. Reduce the oxygen content in the steel to the required level to ensure that the normal surface and different structural types of ingots are obtained during solidification. 2. Reduce the content of non-metallic inclusions in the finished steel, with proper distribution and proper shape to ensure the various properties of the steel. A fine grain structure is obtained.
 
 
75. Briefly describe the characteristics and mineral composition of the slag in the middle stage of converter conversion?
Answer: In the middle of converting, the reaction of [C] and [O] in the furnace is fierce, and the slag is prone to "dry back". Its characteristics are: high alkalinity and low iron oxide content.
 
The slag mineral composition is: the main phases are dicalcium silicate and tricalcium silicate. When the lime is added in a large amount, there is more free CaO. The higher the alkalinity, the larger the tricalcium silicate and the more free CaO, which is unfavorable for the smelting effect.
 
 
76. Why is it required to reduce the amount of slag in the ladle?
Answer: 1) Since the slag contains iron oxide, a part of the ferroalloy added will react with the iron oxide in the slag and burn out. If there is less slag in the ladle, the less ferroalloy will burn, which means saving alloy. 2) Reduce the phosphorus recovery during the tapping process and the phosphorus recovery during the secondary refining. 3) Reduce the erosion of the ladle bricks and increase the life of the ladle. 4) Reduce the overflow of slag in the ladle during the tapping process and the secondary refining to avoid accidents. 5) Good for the quality of steel.
 
 
 
77. Analyze the characteristics and mineral composition of the slag in the middle of converting?
Answer: In the middle of converting, the reaction of [C] and [O] in the furnace is fierce, and the slag is prone to "back-drying". Features: high alkalinity, low iron oxide content, and slag mineral composition: the main phase is dicalcium silicate And tricalcium silicate, when the lime is added large, there will be more free CaO. The higher the alkalinity, the greater the amount of tricalcium silicate and the more free CaO, which is unfavorable for the smelting effect.
 
 
78. Under what circumstances need to adjust slag after tapping?
Answer: (1) The slag superheat is high; (2) The final slag FeO is high, the slag is thin and the MgO in the slag reaches the required value for slag splashing, so it is not easy to splash slag directly.
 
 
79. Briefly describe the content of carbon in steel and its effect on the performance of steel?
Answer: Generally, [C]<2.11% in Fe-C melt is called steel, and [C]<0.02 is called industrial pure iron, so [C] in steel is between 0.02% and 2.11%.
 
C in steel generally has the following effects on its performance: C hardness increases, strength increases, toughness and plasticity decrease, welding performance is poor, and corrosion resistance also deteriorates.
 
 
80. Try to analyze the favorable conditions of the P removal reaction?
Answer: [P]+5[FeO]+4[CaO]=4CaO.P2O5+5[Fe]+Q. If you want the reaction to facilitate the dephosphorization process, you must increase the reactant concentration and reduce the product concentration. That is, increase the content of CaO (that is, increase the alkalinity R), increase the content of (FeO) in the slag, and reduce the concentration of (4CaO.P2O5)-discharge slag or increase the amount of slag, and then see that the reaction is an exothermic reaction, a reaction that lowers the temperature Favorable, but when the temperature is too low, slag cannot be formed and has no fluidity. Therefore, the favorable conditions for P removal are high alkalinity, high (FeO), large amount of slag, and appropriate low temperature.
 
 
81. Why is there back phosphorus in steel tapping?
Answer: In the converter, the removal of phosphorus is relatively sufficient, because the conditions are more favorable, the alkalinity is high, the content of (FeO) is high, the amount of slag is large, and the slag fluidity is very good, but in the case of steel tapping, with the deoxidizer Adding, the oxygen in the slag can be reduced, and SiO2 and AhO3, etc. continue to increase, that is, the basicity of the slag is decreasing, and the (FeO) is decreasing. Therefore, under the action of the strong reducing agent SiAL, the unstable P2O5 in the slag quickly Is reduced into molten steel.
 
 
82. Briefly describe the corrosion mechanism of Mg-C brick lining?
Answer: When the furnace lining works in the furnace, firstly, a brittle decarburization reaction occurs on the surface and a "reaction layer" is formed on the surface. The carbon in the reaction layer has been oxidized, and Fe2O3 and SiO2 in the slag invade the bricks to form a low level of MgO and CaO. Melting point substances, the more intrusives Fe2O3 and SiO2, the more severely the fire resistance and high-temperature strength of the lining brick will decrease, and even become a molten contact film state in the steelmaking state, which cannot withstand the mechanical erosion of steel slag and furnace gas, making bricks and furnace linings It will fall off crisply.
 
 
83. What is the bottom rise? What is the main reason for the bottom rise?
Answer: The so-called rise of the furnace bottom means that the furnace bottom gradually increases during the smelting process, as if a new layer of refractory is applied to the original furnace lining. This is a new problem caused by improper dolomite slagging operations. As the furnace bottom increases, the slag line moves, which threatens the furnace cap and affects the gun position control. Therefore, it must be eliminated during the smelting process. The main reason for the increase is that the slag is too sticky.
 
 
84. How does the print head work?
Answer: The nozzle of the oxygen lance is a pressure-speed energy converter. The high-pressure and low-speed air flow is converted into a low-pressure and high-speed oxygen jet. The oxygen outlet flow rate generally reaches the supersonic machine. The basic condition is: the nozzle must have a throat, that is, it must be a contraction-expansion type, and the outlet oxygen pressure must be less than the throat oxygen pressure ( Requires P outlet/P throat <0.528).
 
 
85. In the slag splashing, which aspects should be paid attention to in the maintenance of the bottom air supply element?
Answer: (1) Adjustment of slag composition during slag splashing process; (2) Reasonable selection of slag splashing operation process parameters; (3) Controlling the thickness of the covering slag layer; (4) Grasp the slag splashing time and discard the slag in time; (5) Dredge the bottom air supply element; (6) Reduce the slag splash rate, Reduce the tendency of furnace bottom rising or bottom air supply element blockage; ⑺Develop the technology of quick replacement of bottom air supply element to increase the ratio of reblowing.
