Abstract:In order to explore the effect of electromagnetic levitation refining on the removal of phosphorus impurities in steel, HRB600 steel was taken as the research object, under the condition of electromagnetic levitation refining, the effect of removing phosphorus impurities was studied. The basic chemical composition of this steel is Fe-0.22%C-0.54%Si-1.46%Mn. Compared with traditional methods,electromagnetic levitation refining technology uses ultra-high frequency alternating current to generate alternating electromagnetic field,and relies on the electromagnetic force formed by the interaction between electromagnetic field and induced current to levitate the metal melt,which has the characteristics of avoiding crucible pollution,making the internal composition of the material uniform,and high temperature and rapid melting and so on, the effects of electromagnetic levitation time,temperature and levitation atmosphere on the removal of phosphorus impurities and mass transfer coefficient during the refining of Fe-0.22%C-0.54%Si-1.46%Mn steel were explored using electromagnetic levitation technology. The results show that levitation time,levitation temperature and atmosphere flow rate have effects on phosphorus removal and mass transfer coefficient. The process of phosphorus volatilization from melt and discharge by flowing gas is that impurity P diffuses from melt boundary layer to melt surface. The increase of levitation temperature and air flow rate is beneficial to phosphorus removal and mass transfer coefficient of phosphorus. With the extension of levitation time,the removal rate of phosphorus increases,but the mass transfer coefficient of phosphorus decreases. The highest dephosphorization rate was 40.561% at 45 mins levitation time,2 123 K levitation temperature,and 1.5 L/min,levitation atmosphere flow rate. The highest mass transfer coefficient of phosphorus was 1.09×10-6 m/s at 15 mins levitation time,1 923 K levitation temperature,and 1.0 L/min levitation atmosphere flow rate.
