Description

Control method for reducing burning loss of acid-soluble aluminum in refining furnace Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of carbon steel smelting, in particular to a control method for reducing acid-soluble aluminum burning loss of a refining furnace. Background The acid-soluble aluminum can be combined with nitrogen in steel to form AlN particles, so that the effects of refining grains and improving the strength and toughness of the steel are achieved. However, during the smelting process of aluminum killed steel, acid-soluble aluminum in molten steel is extremely easily oxidized, resulting in burning loss of aluminum. Excessive aluminum burn-out not only results in reduced alloy yield and increased cost, but also is more critical in the formation of a large amount of Al 2O3 inclusions. The aggregation of these inclusions at grain boundaries can become a source of cracks, and at the same time affect the fluidity of the molten steel, increasing the risk of surface cracks (such as cluster cracks, center cracks) of the slab during solidification and rolling, severely affecting product quality and yield. In the prior art, fluctuation exists in oxygen content control of molten steel at the smelting end point of a converter, so that the oxygen potential of the molten steel entering a refining furnace (LF) is unstable. In the LF refining process, if slag melting is insufficient and slag oxidizing property (such as FeO content) is too high, oxidation burning loss of acid-soluble aluminum in molten steel is increased, so that the acid-soluble aluminum content in a final finished product is difficult to accurately control, and the quantity of Al 2O3 inclusions is increased. Therefore, how to systematically control the whole smelting process, effectively reduce the burning loss of acid-soluble aluminum in the refining link, and is a key technical problem for improving the purity and the product quality of aluminum killed steel. Disclosure of Invention Aiming at the problems of large acid-soluble aluminum burning loss and low molten steel purity caused by improper control of the smelting process in the prior art, the invention provides a control method for systematically reducing the acid-soluble aluminum burning loss. The method aims to realize stable control of acid-soluble aluminum burning loss (generally within 100 ppm) by optimizing process connection and key parameter control of converter and LF refining, thereby improving molten steel purity and sheet yield. In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a control method for reducing burning loss of acid-soluble aluminum in a refining furnace comprises two core processes of converter smelting and LF refining. The first step of converter smelting is to provide low oxygen potential and clean molten steel for subsequent LF refining. Controlling the carbon content of molten steel at the smelting end point of the converter to be within the range of 0.04-0.1%, and controlling the FeO content of the slag sample at the end point to be less than or equal to 20%. This operation aims at controlling the carbon oxygen deposit, reducing the free oxygen content in the molten steel and reducing the source of oxidizing nature from the source. During tapping of the converter, lime (the addition amount is 2.3-3.9 Kg/ton molten steel) is added for slag washing under the strong stirring action of the steel flow. This can realize efficient desulfurization and adsorption of some inclusions in the molten steel. After tapping by the converter, the molten steel enters an argon blowing station for treatment. The entering temperature of the argon blowing station is required to be more than or equal to 1550 ℃ so as to ensure that enough heat is generated in the follow-up LF procedure to carry out slag melting operation. Meanwhile, the silicon manganese and the aluminum steel grit are added for pre-deoxidation during tapping, so that the content Al of acid-soluble aluminum in molten steel in an argon blowing station is more than or equal to 0.01%, and the oxygen potential of the molten steel is further reduced. Wherein the Al content of the steel grit aluminum is 75 percent, and the Si content of the silicomanganese is 18.8 percent. The tapping temperature of the converter is controlled to be 1600-1650 ℃ so as to ensure the entering temperature requirement of an argon blowing station. And secondly, LF refining, wherein the step is to realize full slag melting, stable slag system and finally accurate control of the core of acid-soluble aluminum. Slag stirring, namely after LF enters a station, lime (4.5-7.8 Kg/ton of molten steel) and a plate blank top slag modifier (0.6-0.8 Kg/ton of molten steel) are added at first (an appropriate amount of fluorite can be added simultaneously to facilitate smelting). And then immediately starting double-line bottom blowing argon to carry out strong stirring, wherein the total b
