摘要:
Proposed is a method for efficiently manufacturing low-phosphorus molten steel by use of a steelmaking electric furnace, in which slag resulting from melting a solid iron source is effectively separated from molten steel, and thus a unit consumption of lime required to reduce a phosphorus content in the molten steel is reduced. The method for manufacturing low-phosphorus molten steel includes: a first step of charging a solid iron source and an optional molten iron source and melting and heating these raw materials by using electric energy; a second step of partly or entirely removing slag generated during the melting; a third step of, after the second step, performing dephosphorization by adding dephosphorization flux; and a fourth step of tapping low-phosphorus molten steel thus refined, and in the method, a slag composition ratio C/(S + A) of the slag to be removed in the second step is adjusted to be in a range of not less than 0.25 and not more than 0.70. Here, the slag composition ratio C/(S + A) is determined by dividing a CaO concentration (C) by a sum of an SiO 2 concentration (S) and an Al 2 O 3 concentration (A) on a mass basis in the slag.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for producing a foamed slag on austenitic stainless melts in an electric arc furnace, wherein a mixture of metal oxides and carbon is introduced into the furnace, underneath the slag and at the metal/slag boundary, the metal oxide is reduced by the carbon and the gases produced bring about the foaming of the slag by the formation of bubbles. Here, the mixture to be charged, which is added in the form of mouldings such as briquettes or pellets, contains not only nickel oxide, iron oxide, iron carriers and carbon but also the required binders.
