The invention belongs to the field of
metallurgy, and relates to a steel
smelting process, in particular to a steel
smelting process used for an automobile hub bearing. The steel
smelting process comprises the steps that 1, high-quality molten iron and
scrap steel are added into a converter, tapping is conducted through a sliding plate, remaining steel operation is adopted, and deoxidizing is conducted on
molten steel through different numbers of Al cakes according to the C content at the end; 2, aluminum is used in advance in the refining process, white
slag is controlled to be kept for more than 30 min, and maintaining of
deoxidization and the liquidity of the
slag is reinforced in the whole refining process; 3, enough vacuum deairing time is ensured in the RH process, and the soft blowing time is ensured; and 4, double
slag is adopted for covering a
continuous casting tundish, so that impurities in the
molten steel are adsorbed, and meanwhile secondary oxidation is prevented. According to the steel
smelting process used for the automobile hub bearing, the purity of the
molten steel is improved to the greatest extent, the
oxygen content of a produced bearing steel for a hub reaches 5.2 ppm, the
titanium content of the molten steel is 10 ppm, rating of non-
metallic impurities reaches the best
international level, the fatigue life of the bearing steel for the hub is prolonged, sequence
continuous casting of the molten steel is achieved, and the production cost is reduced.
