Treatment of open-hearth steel by lime-silicate melts

Abstract

Because of the scarcity of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, slags were developed containing larger amounts of SiO/sub 2/ and MgO and with addition of 4-5% CaF/sub 2/. The 2 slags prepared in the laboratory had basicities (CaO-SiO/sub 2/ ratios) of 2.07 and 2.65. They contained 12.8 and 13.9% Al/sub 2/O vs. 38-42% for the control and were obtained from sources such as clay. The extents of desulfurization of low-alloy steels using the new slags, a slag containing 22.2% Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and a control slag were approximately the same and were also satisfactory (61-70%) for 4 C steels. The S distributions between slag and metal were calculated. The slag basicity vs. % desulfurization showed maximum of the latter for 2.5-2.8 basicity. The sizes of oxide and sulfide inclusions were smaller for the former and about the same for the latter for the new slags than for the control. The mechanical properties, especially the impact strength at +20 and -70deg, of the steel from the ingots prepared with the new slags were much better than those of the control. A cost analysis showed savings of approximately 70% compared with the usual slag.
