Problems solved by technology

The Chinese invention patent discloses a smelting process for the control of inclusions in spring steel. The inclusions are controlled by controlling the alkalinity of the refining slag to 0.7-1.4. However, desulfurization is difficult at this alkalinity, especially for molten steel with a high initial sulfur content. In actual production, the refining slag is thinner at this alkalinity, the temperature fluctuation of molten steel is not easy to control, and the requirements for molten iron and operation are higher, and it is also necessary to add quartz sand for slagging

Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel smelting, in particular to a refining process for producing spring steel in an electric furnace. Background technique [0002] Spring steel is widely used in aircraft, automobiles, railway vehicles and other transportation tools and construction machinery and other equipment. It is the material for manufacturing various coil springs, torsion springs, leaf springs and other springs with similar functions. At present, the main spring steel refining slag process is low-alkalinity slag, such as a Chinese invention patent for a spring steel refining method. Compared with it, this patent does not use quartz sand, magnesia and other materials, but directly adjusts it through a deoxidizer. The slag reduces the risk of secondary oxidation, and the stability of inclusion control is further improved. The Chinese invention patent discloses a smelting process for the control of inclusions in spring ste...
