摘要
采用扫描电镜和热力学分析,对IF钢生产过程中Al-Ti-Mg-O类夹杂物的成分、尺寸和形貌的特征及演变行为进行了研究。结果表明,RH脱氧后夹杂物主要为纯Al_2O_3,合金化以后到浇铸成连铸坯的过程中夹杂物中Al_2O_3占比不断减小,含Ti类和含Mg类夹杂物占比不断增加;纯Al_2O_3夹杂尺寸较大,含Ti夹杂物尺寸较小。在热力学平衡条件下,钢中的夹杂物应为Al_2O_3稳定存在,但二次氧化和局部Ti浓度的升高促进了TiO_x的生成。夹杂物中TiO_x含量的增加,将会降低Al-Ti-Mg-O类夹杂物熔点。
The evolution of chemical composition,size,proportion,and morphology of the Al-Ti-Mg-O inclusions during the steelmaking process of interstitial free(IF) steel were investigated by means of AutoSEM.Results showed that after RH deoxidation,the main inclusions were pure Al_2O_3 inclusions.Then the proportion of Al_2O_3 in inclusions decreased,while the proportion of inclusions containing titaniumand magnesium increased from RH deoxidation to slab.The size of pure Al_2O_3 inclusions was larger and the size of inclusions containing titanium was smaller.Thermodynamic analysis results showed that the inclusions should be stable with Al_2O_3 at the concentration of molten steel.But the titanium alloying and spontaneous enrichment would make a high titanium concentration environment that was in favor of the TiO_x existence.Moreover,more TiO_x component could control Al-Ti-Mg-O inclusions with a lower melting temperature.
