DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL REGULATION FOR CARBON IRONING OF IRON IN 30t LADLE. PART 1

Summary. The results of numerical simulation of the carbonization of low-carbon iron as a by-product of the production of titanium slag for the designed unit ladle-furnace (LF) installation as applied to the conditions of PJSC Zaporizhzhya Titanium-Magnesium Combine are presented. The technological regulations have been developed and a numerical study has been carried out on the carburization of metal in a 30-ton ladle at the LF. For the production of commercial pig iron, associated iron-containing waste is used. The purpose of the work is to identify factors of the influence of out-of-furnace processing on technology optimization. A numerical simulation was performed of the carburization technology of liquid low-carbon (up to 2% carbon) cast iron with lump (fraction up to 50 mm) graphite and coke introduced onto the surface of a ladle bath (excluding slag cover). The material and energy balances of the process were carried out, the properties of carburizing materials were studied, and the diffusion coefficient of carbon in a liquid metal was estimated. The results of studies of the hydrodynamic and thermal conditions in the bucket bath of the LF are estimated from the contour diagrams of the flow rates and temperature fields for different flow rates of argon supplied through the bottom and submerged tuyeres. The optimal fractions of carbon-containing materials were determined. It has been shown that treatment on LF with lump graphite requires a shorter duration (≈ 45%) compared with lump coke. To accelerate the process of diffusion dissolution of carbon, it is necessary to periodically (every 3 portions of 70 kg of graphite and coke) heat the melt to a temperature of 1520-1530 ° C. Injection of powdered graphite and coke contributes to a more efficient absorption of carbon and a decrease in the duration of the process (≈ by 1/3). Research continues in the direction of using flux-cored wire for carburizing cast iron at LF.
