Former smelting technology must adopt furnace melting steel scrap, alloy and partial molten iron, on technology also is feasible, but there is the quite high shortcoming of power consumption with smelting mother liquor of stainless steel from electric furnace, electric power consumption per ton steel is 320~360kwh, has correspondingly increased production cost, in addition, electric furnace production must blowing out be carried out the refractory materials maintenance after 7~10 days, need to stop production 10~24 hours, the whole piece stainless steel production line must stop production 10~24 hours like this, and the production production capacity is subjected to very big influence.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method of AOD smelting ferritic stainless steel from total molten iron, skip the EAF operation, adopt blast-melted (behind the dephosphorization)+alloy in the AOD stove, directly to smelt ferritic stainless steel.
For achieving the above object, technical solution of the present invention is: the method for smelting ferritic stainless steel from total molten iron, comprise the steps,
A. smelt, process temperature control, blowing speed in early stage is elevated to 1580~1600 ℃ with bath temperature, and the ferrosilicon that adds 4~15kg/ ton steel heats up; Simultaneously, at this control decarbonization rate, decarbonization rate is controlled at 0.09~0.12% in stage/minute;
B. when the molten bath is warmed up to 1670~1720 ℃, begin to add ferrochrome, 2~3 tons/minute, the ferrochrome add-on is 250~280kg/ ton steel, keeps bath temperature stable;
C. decarburization, when decarburization finishes, [C]=0.03%~0.05%, temperature is controlled at 1700~1730 ℃;
D. reduction when blowing oxygen quantity reaches whole oxygen-supplying amounts and finishes decarburization, adds reductive agent ferrosilicon 20~25kg/t and carries out restoring operation;
E. desulfurization, reduction is carried out desulfurization operations after finishing, and the lime, the 6~10kg/ ton steel fluorite that add 10~15kg/ ton steel carry out desulfurization.Carry out molten steel component fine setting, tap after meeting ingredient standard.
Wherein, oxygen-supplying amount control in the described smelting process: the ratio control of oxygen and rare gas element:
I) in Si, Al oxidation blowing stage, oxygen-supplying amount is less than 6Nm
3During/t, air port oxygen and rare gas element ratio control were at 3.5: 1;
Ii) in the main decarburization blowing stage, oxygen-supplying amount is 6~60Nm
3During/t, air port oxygen and rare gas element ratio control are 3.5: 1;
Iii) in dynamic 1 stage of decarburization, oxygen-supplying amount is 60~63Nm
3During/t, air port oxygen and rare gas element ratio control are 1: 1;
Iv) in dynamic 2 stages of decarburization, oxygen-supplying amount is 63~66Nm
3During/t, air port oxygen and rare gas element ratio control are 1: 2;
V) in dynamic 3 stages of decarburization, oxygen-supplying amount is 66~70Nm
3During/t, air port oxygen and rare gas element ratio control are 1: 3.
Wherein, the accumulative total oxygen-supplying amount is 68~70Nm
3/ t.
Oxygen-supplying amount reaches 30~33Nm
3During/t, begin to add ferrochrome, 2~3 tons/minute, keep bath temperature stable.
It is that the oxidation of controlling chromium drops to minimum level that oxygen and rare gas element ratio are rationally controlled purpose, improves the recovery rate of chromium metal.
The invention has the advantages that:
1. impurity element control
Adopt overall height stove molten iron smelting, avoided stainless molten steel to be subjected to the quality influence of impure steel scrap, the trace element that Cu, Ni, Sn, Pb, As etc. have a significant effect to the stainless steel quality can be controlled in the extremely low scope, even can ignore, greatly reduce the difficulty of smelting high cleanliness 400 series stainless steels.
2.N control
Because molten iron [C] content height, the N that increases of violent C-O reaction significantly minimizing molten steel measures, and smelting that need not be special is controlled, and can smelt 400 series stainless steels of [N]≤300ppm.
3.[P] control
Because do not have the pollution of steel scrap, finished product [P] can reach below 0.020% more like a cork.The super stainless steel that adopts technology of the present invention to smelt [P]≤0.010% also will become than easier in the past.
4. cost advantage
Because the technology that adopts AOD directly to smelt, mother liquor of stainless steel that need not electrosmelting (slightly make steel water) in common process, will be saved by the cost of electric furnace generation like this.
Electric energy saving, power shortages now, its generation be not only the direct economic benefit of enterprise just.The saving of the furnace lining cost of anti-the material, consumption such as goods, materials and equipments, equipment, electrode will be very considerable incomes.

As everyone knows, adopt full molten iron smelting stainless steel, its thermal equilibrium control is very difficult and since this point worldwide smelting stainless steel all adopt mother liquor of stainless steel (slightly make steel water) that steel scrap becomes certain ingredients and temperature by furnace melting to carry out the technology of Decarburising and refining to AOD again.Even adopt blast-melted (behind the dephosphorization), also must and steel scrap collocation use and in electric furnace, be fused into mother liquor of stainless steel (slightly make steel water), carry out Decarburising and refining through AOD again.
The present invention has made full use of the blast-melted C of containing height, the characteristics that chemical heat is high, and stable control bath temperature in converting process is controlled at the oxidation of Cr in the small range, takes off C to greatest extent simultaneously, and the CRE value on average can reach more than 0.7.
