2. Description of the Related Art In the refining method under vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure atmosphere (hereinafter referred to as refining under vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure),
It is widely used because high-level clean steel and the like can be easily obtained, and a vacuum induction heating furnace (also called VIF) is one of the means. In this refining under vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure, certain impurities become themselves or compounds such as oxides, and are evaporated, scattered or floated from the molten metal to be separated, whereby refining proceeds. Then, in this case, in the state where the refining has progressed, the impurities in the molten metal (impurities in the present invention are collectively referred to as substances causing impure elements or non-metallic inclusions) can be made to have a very low level.

In this refining under a vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure, a part of vaporized and scattered components are condensed and adhered in a scum-like form on the freeboard portion of the refining furnace. On the surface of the molten metal in the refining furnace, another kind of non-evaporable dross-like impurity component floats and is separated. When the molten metal is poured into the molten metal by pouring it into the molten metal, some of these deposits and suspended matters are washed away by the molten metal flow and are re-introduced into the molten metal, and are remixed in the molten metal. Furthermore, the refractory lining of the ladle or tundish, which is the hot water container, adsorbs the active gas components if it is not heated sufficiently before the hot water is received, and this refractory also has a vacuum or low oxygen content after the hot water is received. It partially reacts with the molten metal activated by the treatment under partial pressure or is corroded by the molten metal, and the active gas, reaction products, and eroded foods contaminate the molten metal.

The methods that have been tried up to now as methods for preventing re-mixing include tapping the bottom of a refining furnace and leaving a part of the molten metal in the furnace to prevent mixing of floating impurities. A method of discharging molten metal in the air with a furnace, and a method of removing fine nonmetallic inclusion-causing substances with a ceramic filter in a ladle or a tundish have been proposed and partially put into practical use. However, it has not been widely adopted yet. Further, since these methods are not effective for all remixed substances, pollutants, etc., it is necessary to combine them in order to be effective for each remixed substance, etc. However, the more they are combined, the more costly the problem arises. Further, in the vacuum induction melting furnace, no slag is generated because no slag-forming agent is added for performing vacuum refining. Therefore, there is a problem that desulfurization is almost impossible.

On the other hand, after vacuum refining, it is also considered that re-refining substances are removed or desulfurization is performed by refining with a ladle refining furnace of graphite electrode arc heating system, ASEA-SKF method, etc. In these methods, the electrode is graphite and the electrode is immersed in the slag on the surface of the molten steel, so that deoxidation and desulfurization can be performed, but there is a problem of carbon pickup in the molten metal. Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-318118, after the molten metal is decarburized by vacuum degassing treatment, Sol.Al ≧ 0.2 wt%
A method for producing ultra-low carbon and ultra-low sulfur steel has been proposed in which, while being contained, is heated in plasma, stirred in the presence of slag having a basicity of 8 or more, and desulfurized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the method proposed above,
Since the slag before plasma refining is brought into the plasma refining furnace, the basicity of Sol.Al and slag during plasma refining must be increased to 8 or higher. That is, since slag is brought in, a large amount of a deoxidizing agent and a reducing agent are required for modifying the slag, so that the refining effect is poor. By the way, some alloy products called electromagnetic materials such as Fe—Ni alloys are severely limited in both carbon and sulfur for the reason of impairing required characteristics.

Most of the above-mentioned contamination of carbon and sulfur is brought in from a solid raw material at the time of melting, and decarburization should be strengthened as much as a material having a low oxygen content by refining. In order to further reduce sulfur, it is necessary to add a slag forming agent mainly composed of CaO for efficient desulfurization refining. Of these, decarburization is known to be a means of burning by reaction with oxygen or the like, and it is more efficient if combined with a reduced pressure atmosphere or a vacuum atmosphere.
However, in any case, the reaction product is an oxide, which adheres to the molten metal surface or wall of the smelting furnace and remixes into the molten metal depending on the movement of the molten metal, thus contaminating the smelted molten metal. It has a great nature. On the other hand, regarding desulfurization, depending on the method of pre-refining in the previous step and the handling method when moving the molten metal, by performing in the state where the slag generated in the previous step exists, a burden is imposed on the reforming of this slag. There was a drawback that efficient desulfurization could not be performed.

However, in order to avoid the above-mentioned decarburization treatment or desulfurization treatment, it is necessary to select a high-grade material of low C or low S as a material to be inserted into the refining furnace, and the raw material cost for melting is remarkably high. It has the drawback of becoming expensive and not suitable for economical mass production. It is an object of the present invention to provide at least Ni 3 wt.
When refining steel or alloys where the carbon content and the sulfur content of products called electromagnetic materials such as Fe-Ni alloys containing 0 to 50% are severely limited, the problem of carbon pickup described above Fe does not need to be modified to bring in slag, and can flexibly handle high-level refining.

In the present invention, the molten metal that has been decarburized and refined to a low carbon level is transferred to a container to be deoxidized through a ladle in the case of another container such as an arc furnace or a converter, and is also deoxidized. The molten metal that has been melted in the vessel to be deoxidized is completed by decarburizing and refining to a low carbon level in the same vessel, and then pre-refining in a vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure atmosphere. All of the present inventions contain 30 to 50% of Ni, and Fe-Ni for which lowering of C is desired is desired.
By refining the alloy of the system in a vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure atmosphere by a container having a heating means, it is not necessary to add a slag-forming agent for pre-refining, and thus a predetermined slag-free condition can be obtained. A major feature is the achievement of level pre-refining. By the way, as described above, in the pre-refining under vacuum or low oxygen partial pressure, impurities adhering to the free wall of the refining furnace in scum form or dross floating on the surface of the molten metal in the refining furnace. In addition to the impurities described above, there are impurities that exist in the molten metal in a state where they cannot completely float. Among these impurities, SiO 2 due to the erosion of the furnace wall of the refining furnace accounts for a considerable proportion.

In the present invention, since the slag-forming agent is not added in the preliminary refining furnace, it is not necessary to modify the slag in the next refining by plasma heating. Therefore, in the re-refining process, it is not necessary to add CaO or SiO 2 in a large amount to adjust the basicity to 8 or more, efficiently remove the impurities mixed in the molten metal during the pre-refining, and refine it to a higher level. There are advantages. The inventor, while considering lowering C and lowering S of Fe-Ni alloy, utilizes a relatively small amount of SiO 2 generated in the pre-refining of the alloy and mixed as a part of impurities, and uses plasma in the next step. At the time of re-refining by heating, CaO is essential and a new slag-forming agent having a composite composition is added, and basically the basicity is adjusted without adding SiO 2 to improve impurities and further increase the level. It has been found that refining can be done.

There is a method of substituting a part of oxygen with r or N 2 gas) or by combining reduced pressure and gas substitution to obtain an inert gas atmosphere of several 100 Torr or less. In the present invention, it is important to adjust the carbon content of the molten Fe-Ni alloy specified in the present invention to 0.01% or less in the preliminary refining process. As a means for this, it is necessary to first select an iron source as a raw material that has as low a carbon content as possible. For example, when aiming for C 0.01% or less, the C% of the iron source is preferably about 0.03%.

Further, when aiming at a low value, for example, about C 0.005%, the C% of the iron source is preferably about 0.015 to 0.02%. However, since an iron source with a low C% is expensive, it can be combined with a decarburization reaction with an oxide such as iron ore or NiO. Furthermore, the third means can be combined with stirring. As a stirring method, electromagnetic stirring or stirring with Ar gas can be adopted. A vacuum induction furnace (VIF) as a furnace that combines these means
However, the preliminary refining of the present invention can also be realized in a practical furnace such as an AOD furnace or a VOD furnace. Furthermore, the means for adjusting the carbon content to 0.01% or less in the preliminary refining of the above invention may be addition or blowing of an oxygen source such as oxygen gas or a mixture of an oxygen source and an inert gas. In this case, there is an advantage that efficient deoxidation is possible and the iron source may have a slightly high carbon content.

As the slag forming agent used in the plasma refining, CaO is essential as described above, and a new synthetic slag forming agent to which one or two kinds of CaF 2 and Al 2 O 3 are added is used in the re-refining. That is the feature of the present invention. In particular, the slag for refining in the preliminary refining furnace has another feature of the present invention in that it is not substantially brought into re-refining. The newly added slag forming agent "mainly" means that the newly added slag forming agent occupies most of 95% or more of the slag capacity,
Addition of a very small amount of SiO 2 or the like for adjusting the basicity is allowed. However, according to the method of the present invention, normally SiO 2
Also, since it is brought in as an impurity in the preliminary refining furnace, it is not necessary to add it.

In the present invention, it is desirable to use the induction heating method as the pre-refining. Moreover, it is advisable to prepare a separate container so that it will not be contaminated by splash or fume in the pre-refining. In the refining method of the present application, the re-refining is preferably performed under stirring conditions such as a porous plug or other method such as a gas blowing method or an induction method, and tapping from the re-refining container is provided at the bottom of the container. The sliding nozzle method is more suitable than the tilting method or the stopper type method because it does not cause inconveniences such as mixing of slag and damage to the stopper due to plasma heating.

In the present invention, 0.01% of carbon is added in the preliminary refining process.
Hereafter, in the case of strict requirements for improving the etching property of the Fe-Ni alloy, it is preferably lowered to 0.005% or less.
By satisfying this condition, it is possible to keep C% at 0.01%, preferably 0.005% or less in the re-refining process by the plasma in the next step, and make the carbon content of the final product at least 0.01% or less. . This means that the process of decarburization in the re-refining process can be almost eliminated or an extremely small amount of decarburization can be performed, shortening the overall refining time, and plasma rerefining requires refining other than decarburization. This is mainly carried out to obtain an Fe-Ni alloy with extremely low impurities and low C.

In the refining method of the present invention, the pre-refining is carried out in a container having a heating means, so that it is possible to use a wide variety of materials, required refining levels, and a relatively small amount of molten metal, if necessary. By using the heating means, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the molten metal from lowering, so that it is possible to flexibly obtain the molten metal having a predetermined refining level. In the present invention, if an arc furnace is used as the melting and refining furnace prior to the pre-refining as in the first and second inventions, the melting and refining can be performed efficiently.
Particularly, in the case of refining an Fe-Ni alloy using an iron source having a high carbon content, there is an advantage that oxygen blowing in an arc furnace can be used together. Therefore, the burden on the preliminary refining furnace is reduced. When carrying out from the melting of the solid raw material in the preliminary refining furnace as in the third and fourth inventions of the present invention, the primary refining furnace can naturally be omitted, and rapid decarburization can be performed under vacuum or reduced pressure.

In the method of the present invention, the selection of refractory materials is important in order to enhance the refining effect in the re-refining furnace and to reduce the reaction products with the refractory materials in the pre-refining. That is, since pre-smelting is basically performed under reduced pressure, refractories with a high SiO 2 content are not suitable, and high alumina-based or magnesia-based basic bricks are used, or magkuro-based direct bricks fired at ultra-high temperatures are used. Use of void brick is effective. In addition, it is important to retain heat of the refractory before the start of preliminary refining, and the amount of scum is reduced only after taking these considerations into consideration, and the role of the slag forming agent that requires CaO in re-refining can be utilized. Further, in the refining method of the second invention, the re-refining is performed in a fresh container different from the preliminary refining, so that the slag is hardly contaminated by the addition of the slag-forming agent, and the molten metal refined to a high level is Obtained easily and efficiently.

In the method of the present invention, since the slag-forming agent is not added in the pre-refining stage, substantially no slag is generated, and impurities that cannot be evaporated or scum-like impurities are newly added in the re-refining in the next step. It is carried out by activating the slag agent by gas plasma heating to effectively absorb the slag agent. That is, in the present invention, the slag-forming agent is sufficiently heated by gas plasma heating to be low-viscosity and activated, so that the re-mixed substances of impurities such as the deposits and suspended matter, non-metallic inclusions, and refractories can be obtained. The resulting pollutants can be effectively collected, and desirably, sufficient agitation such as by injecting an inert gas, which will be described later, sufficiently contacts with the molten metal while exchanging them with each other, resulting in a high refining effect.

A suitable combination of Al 2 O 3 is mainly added for the purpose of improving the properties. At this time, Si for adjusting the basicity
Even if O 2 is not added, it is adjusted to have a basicity of 2 or more by SiO 2 which is mixed as an impurity in the pre-refining and CaO which is newly added. A desirable basicity is 3-7.

The molten metal at the end of the pre-refining before plasma refining is substantially slag-free, meaning that a slag-forming agent is added for the purpose of pre-refining to complete the reaction. It means that there is no slag that has occurred. Therefore, in the second invention and the fourth invention of the present invention, the smelting agent is added to the molten metal immediately before or after the completion of the pre-smelting before pouring the molten metal for re-smelting in another container, and the molten metal is poured into the re-smelting furnace. Although it may be hot water, this is not intended for refining by adding a slag forming agent in the pre-smelting furnace, so it is substantially the same as the one without slag for reaction in the pre-smelting. It is included in the method of the present invention in which the slag at the time of refining is not substantially brought into the subsequent re-refining furnace. As the stirring method, which is a desirable mode in the refining method of the present invention, it is preferable to use an inert gas from a porous plug provided at the bottom of the furnace from the viewpoint of the stirring effect. Blowing a slag-forming agent of the type used in the present invention in the form of powder when blowing an inert gas is also effective from the viewpoint of capturing inclusions by the slag-forming agent. The electromagnetic stirring device may be used alone or in combination with gas blowing.
