  • Publication number: 20240287635
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a titanium-containing ultra-low-carbon steel, comprising molten iron pretreatment, converter primary smelting, vacuum refining, continuous casting, hot rolling, pickling, and cold rolling. After vacuum refining decarbonization is finished, the content of free oxygen in molten steel is 100-350 ppm; after Al is then added for deoxidation treatment, the circulation time of the molten steel is greater than or equal to 3 min; after other alloys and rare earth elements are then added to the molten steel to adjust the components of the molten steel to the specifications of a finished product, the circulation time of the molten steel is greater than or equal to 2 min; and finally, an oxide Re2O3·Al2O3 is generated in the molten steel, and the vacuum refining is finished.

  • Patent number: 12018341
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for smelting low nitrogen steel using a dual-shell electric furnace having two furnace shells and an arc power system for alternatively electrically heating the furnace shells in which one of the two furnace shells is respectively sequentially subjected to electric heating, feeding, sealing of a molten pool and blowing of a combustion medium and oxygen to initiate smelting; when the temperature of molten steel in the furnace shell subjected to electric heating reaches a target temperature, initiating electric heating of the other furnace shell. The method can shorten the smelting period and improve the throughput of a production line of an electric furnace to efficiently meet the market requirements for low nitrogen steel while reducing the emission of environmental pollutants associated with known processes.

  • Publication number: 20210355555
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for smelting low nitrogen steel by using an electric furnace. The smelting is performed using a dual-shell electric furnace, The dual-shell electric furnace has two furnace shells. An arc power system of the dual-shell electric furnace is used for alternatively electric heating on the two furnace shells, wherein when one of the two furnace shells is subjected to electric heating, feeding, sealing of a molten pool and blowing of a combustion medium and oxygen are sequentially carried out in the other furnace shell to start smelting. When the temperature of molten steel in the furnace shell subjected to electric heating reaches a target temperature, electric heating starts to be carried out on the other furnace shell.
