Abstract:Vanadium-titanium magnetite is one of the important iron ore resources in China, which has extremely high comprehensive utilization value. The efficient smelting of vanadium-titanium magnetite will bring huge economic benefits, the viscous flow properties of molten iron is the key factor affecting the anterograde of the blast furnace. The molten iron bearing vanadium (V) and titanium (Ti) can be smelted from the vanadium-titanium magnetite ore by blast furnace. The fluidity of V-Ti bearing molten iron is poorer than that smelted from the ordinary iron ore, which may result in difficulties in iron discharge and retaining of molten metal in tapping channel and iron ladle. In this case, the smelting process can be seriously affected. The effects of V and Ti contents on viscosity of molten iron were obtained through the self-developed viscosity tester in the research of V-Ti bearing molten iron.Meanwhile, the growth mechanism of high melting point phase in molten iron was explored by means of microscopic in-situ analysis and characterization, and the influence mechanism of composition on viscosity was deeply revealed.The results indicate that the viscosity of molten iron gradually increased with the increasing of Ti content when the mass percent of Ti varied from 0.10% to 0.50%. The V content had no significant effect on viscosity of molten iron when the mass percent of V was lower than 0.30%, while the viscosity of molten iron increased sharply with the increasing of the mass percent of V when it was higher than 0.30%. In addition, the main reason for this phenomenon is the precipitation of high melting point carbonitrides (TiC, TiN, VC, VN) which can distribute in molten iron, and then increases the viscosity and deteriorates the fluidity of molten iron. It is demonstrated that there are two mechanisms for the growth of high melting point phases in molten iron. One is the nucleation growth of high melting point phase, and the other is the growth of high melting point phase by collisional polymerization after nucleation.
