The invention discloses a refining process for producing
spring steel through an electric furnace, and belongs to the technical field of steel
smelting. The refining process comprises the steps of firstly, electric furnace
smelting, wherein (a) steel scraps and molten iron are adopted as raw materials, (b) eccentric bottom tapping is adopted for preventing
slag discharging, the refining rephosphorization quantity is smaller than or equal to 0.005%, the tapping temperature is 1620 DEG C or above, and (c)
argon bottom blowing and stirring are carried out in the whole electric furnace tapping process; secondly, LF furnace
smelting, wherein (a)
lime,
calcium carbide and
silicon calcium barium are used for
deoxidization and slagging in the early stage, and
silicon carbide and
calcium carbide are used for
slag maintaining in the later stage, (b) components of refining
slag are required to comprise 48%-55% of CaO, 23%-28% of SiO, smaller than 15% of Al2O3, 5%-8% of MgO and not larger than 0.8% of TFe+MnO; and thirdly, RH smelting. By means of the refining process, the components of the refining slag can be precisely controlled, and
quartz sand does not need to be added for slag adjusting;meanwhile, stable control over the
molten steel temperature and the components of the refining slag can be guaranteed through the manners of slag quantity control, stirring control, process slag maintaining and the like, and secondary oxidation of
molten steel is reduced; and the
deoxidization capacity of the refining slag is high, and the aims of deep
deoxidization and deep desulfuration are achieved effectively.
