Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、Mnを含有した極低炭素鋼を迅速に溶製する製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
極低炭素鋼は、自動車外装材やほうろう材など幅広い用途に用いられる鋼材であり、鋼材中の炭素濃度は60ppm 以下、場合によって30ppm 以下の低濃度が要求される。
【0003】
このような極低炭素濃度にする方法として、真空脱ガス脱炭法が一般的に用いられている。
【0004】
この真空脱ガス脱炭法は、溶鋼中の酸素(以下、[O]ともいう)と溶鋼中の炭素(以下、[C]ともいう)が反応し、生成したCOガスが溶鋼から離脱する際に、減圧下で脱炭反応を進行させると、生成COガスの離脱が容易になるという基本原理に基づいている。
【0005】
真空脱ガス脱炭法によりCOガスの離脱が容易となり、極低炭素濃度まで脱炭を行うことが可能であり、この真空脱ガス脱炭法をさらに効率化するために、これまでに多数の脱炭方法が提案されている。
【0006】
例えば、特開平2−194116号公報には脱炭時に減圧下の溶鋼表面に酸素を吹き付ける方法が、特開昭58−113314号公報には酸化物粉体を減圧下溶鋼表面に吹き付ける方法がそれぞれ示されている。これらの方法は主に、溶鋼中の[C]と反応する[O]の濃度を上昇させ、脱炭反応速度を速めるというものである。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これまでの技術は、溶鋼中の[O]の濃度を高めることにより脱炭反応速度を向上させるものであるが、Mnを含有した極低炭素鋼を製造する場合、脱炭反応速度が低下するという問題があった。
【0008】
すなわち、溶鋼中にMn(以下、[Mn]ともいう)を含まない、または[Mn]濃度が低い極低炭素鋼を製造する場合に比較して、溶鋼中に[Mn]濃度が0.2〜0.5質量%(以下、単に%で質量%を表す)であると、脱炭時間が1.3〜2倍長くなるという問題があり、Mnを含有した極低炭素鋼を製造する場合、脱炭時間の短縮化が求められていた。
【0009】
本発明の目的は、脱炭時間の短縮化が可能なMn含有極低炭素鋼の製造方法を提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
真空脱炭反応は溶鋼中の[C]と溶鋼中の[O]との反応により進行するが、Mnは弱脱酸剤であるため溶鋼中の[O]と反応し、MnOを形成し、溶鋼中の[O]濃度を低下させる。
【0011】
しかし、真空下で溶鋼中の[C]と平衡する[O]濃度は、Mnと平衡する溶鋼中の[O]濃度より低いため、Mn脱酸反応は脱炭反応に影響しないと従来考えられていた。
【0012】
本発明者らは溶鋼中の[Mn]濃度が脱炭速度に影響を与えると仮定し試験を行い溶鋼中の[O]濃度および[Mn]濃度と脱炭反応との関係を定量化し、Mn含有鋼でも高速で脱炭反応が可能であることを明らかにした。
【0013】
本発明は、以上の知見に基づいてなされたもので、その要旨は、下記の通りである。
【0014】
転炉でC: 0.03 %以上に粗脱炭されたMn:0.3〜1.2%の溶鋼をRH真空脱ガス装置で仕上げ脱炭し溶鋼中の炭素濃度を50ppm 以下の極低炭素鋼域まで低減する処理において、真空脱炭処理前の溶鋼中の[Mn]濃度 (質量%)と、真空脱炭処理前および処理後のそれぞれの溶鋼中の[O]濃度 (質量%)とが下記式を満足する条件で10分以下脱炭処理を行うことを特徴とするMn含有極低炭素鋼の製造方法。

【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
Mn含有極低炭素鋼中のMn含有量は、Mnが含有されている限り特に制限ない。しかし、Mn含有量が0.2%以上となると脱炭速度が急激に低下することから、本発明を適用するMn含有量は0.2%以上、一般には0.3〜1.2%である。
なお、Mn含有極低炭素鋼中のC含有量は、一般には0.0005〜0.005%である。
【0017】
転炉とRH真空脱ガス装置(以下、単にRH装置またはRHともいう)を用いてMn含有極低炭素鋼を製造する場合を例に説明する。
【0018】

【0020】
なお、脱炭処理前の溶鋼中の[Mn]濃度は0.4%であり、脱炭所要時間は溶鋼中の[C]濃度が0.03%から0.002%まで低下したときの脱炭所要時間である。
【0021】
また、図中の○印は脱炭前の溶鋼中の[O]濃度と脱炭所要時間との関係を、●印は脱炭後の溶鋼中の[O]濃度と脱炭所要時間との関係をそれぞれ表す。

【0023】
図1、2から明らかなように、溶鋼中の[O]濃度が低くなると、脱炭所要時間が長くなる。
【0024】
この理由は、溶鋼中の[O]濃度が低くなると、溶鋼中の[O]と[Mn]が反応し易くなり、溶鋼中の[O]の大部分がMnOとなり、脱炭速度が低下するからである。
【0025】
また、図1、2から明らかなように、溶鋼中の[O]濃度が高くなると、脱炭所要時間が長くなる。
【0026】
この理由は、溶鋼中の[O]濃度が高くなると、溶鋼中の[O]濃度が低い場合と同様に溶鋼中の[O]と[Mn]と反応し易くなり、生成物MnOのMnとOとの結合力が強まるため、溶鋼中の[C]がMnO中のOを奪う反応の速度が低下するからである。
【0027】
上記図1および2では、脱炭処理前の溶鋼中の[Mn]濃度を0.4%および0.8%に変えた試験結果を示したが、脱炭処理前の溶鋼中の[Mn]濃度を0.1〜1.3%に連続的に変えた試験を行った。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a production method for rapidly melting ultra-low carbon steel containing Mn.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Extremely low carbon steel is a steel material used in a wide range of applications such as automobile exterior materials and enamel materials, and the carbon concentration in the steel material is required to be as low as 60 ppm or less, and in some cases as low as 30 ppm or less.
[0003]
As a method for obtaining such an extremely low carbon concentration, a vacuum degassing decarburization method is generally used.
[0004]
In this vacuum degassing decarburization method, oxygen in molten steel (hereinafter also referred to as [O]) reacts with carbon in molten steel (hereinafter also referred to as [C]), and the generated CO gas is released from the molten steel. Furthermore, it is based on the basic principle that when the decarburization reaction proceeds under a reduced pressure, the generated CO gas can be easily detached.
[0005]
The vacuum degassing decarburization method facilitates the removal of CO gas, and it is possible to perform decarburization to an extremely low carbon concentration. In order to further improve the efficiency of this vacuum degassing decarburization method, A decarburization method has been proposed.
[0006]
For example, JP-A-2-194116 discloses a method of spraying oxygen on the surface of molten steel under reduced pressure during decarburization, and JP-A-58-113314 discloses a method of spraying oxide powder on the surface of molten steel under reduced pressure. It is shown. These methods mainly increase the concentration of [O] that reacts with [C] in the molten steel to increase the decarburization reaction rate.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional technology improves the decarburization reaction rate by increasing the concentration of [O] in the molten steel. However, when producing an ultra-low carbon steel containing Mn, the decarburization reaction rate decreases. There was a problem.
[0008]
That is, compared with the case of producing ultra-low carbon steel that does not contain Mn (hereinafter also referred to as [Mn]) in the molten steel or has a low [Mn] concentration, the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel is 0.2. When there is a problem that the decarburization time is 1.3 to 2 times longer when it is -0.5 mass% (hereinafter, simply expressed as mass%), when producing an ultra-low carbon steel containing Mn Therefore, shortening of decarburization time has been demanded.
[0009]
The objective of this invention is providing the manufacturing method of Mn containing ultra-low carbon steel which can shorten decarburization time.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The vacuum decarburization reaction proceeds by the reaction between [C] in the molten steel and [O] in the molten steel. However, since Mn is a weak deoxidizer, it reacts with [O] in the molten steel to form MnO. [O] concentration in molten steel is reduced.
[0011]
However, since the [O] concentration in equilibrium with [C] in the molten steel under vacuum is lower than the [O] concentration in the molten steel in equilibrium with Mn, it is conventionally considered that the Mn deoxidation reaction does not affect the decarburization reaction. It was.
[0012]
The present inventors performed tests assuming that the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel affects the decarburization rate, and quantified the relationship between the [O] concentration and the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel and the decarburization reaction. It was clarified that the decarburization reaction can be performed at high speed even with contained steel.
[0013]
The present invention has been made based on the above findings, and the gist thereof is as follows.
[0014]
Finished decarburization of molten steel with Mn: 0.3-1.2% roughly decarburized C: 0.03 % or more in the converter to reduce the carbon concentration in the molten steel to an extremely low carbon steel region of 50 ppm or less. In the treatment, the [Mn] concentration (mass%) in the molten steel before vacuum decarburization and the [O] concentration (mass%) in each molten steel before and after vacuum decarburization satisfy the following formula: A method for producing Mn-containing ultra-low carbon steel, characterized in that decarburization treatment is performed for 10 minutes or less under the conditions of
[0015]
[Expression 2]
Figure 0003675253
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The Mn content in the Mn-containing ultra-low carbon steel is not particularly limited as long as Mn is contained. However, when the Mn content is 0.2% or more, the decarburization rate is drastically reduced. is there.
The C content in the Mn-containing ultra-low carbon steel is generally 0.0005 to 0.005%.
[0017]
A case where Mn-containing ultra-low carbon steel is manufactured using a converter and an RH vacuum degassing apparatus (hereinafter also simply referred to as RH apparatus or RH) will be described as an example.
[0018]
In the present invention, a test was performed in which 300 t of molten steel, which was roughly decarburized to 0.03% in the molten steel in a converter, was further vacuum decarburized to 0.002% with RH.
[0019]
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the oxygen concentration in molten steel and the time required for decarburization when the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel before decarburization is 0.4%.
[0020]
In addition, the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel before decarburization treatment is 0.4%, and the decarburization time is the decarburization when the [C] concentration in the molten steel decreases from 0.03% to 0.002%. Charcoal required time.
[0021]
The ○ mark in the figure indicates the relationship between the [O] concentration in the molten steel before decarburization and the time required for decarburization, and the ● mark indicates the relationship between the [O] concentration in the molten steel after decarburization and the required decarburization time. Represents each relationship.
[0022]
FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the oxygen concentration in the molten steel and the time required for decarburization when the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel before decarburization is 0.8%.
[0023]
As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, when the [O] concentration in the molten steel decreases, the decarburization time becomes longer.
[0024]
The reason for this is that when the [O] concentration in the molten steel becomes low, [O] and [Mn] in the molten steel are likely to react, and most of [O] in the molten steel becomes MnO, which reduces the decarburization rate. Because.
[0025]
As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, when the [O] concentration in the molten steel increases, the decarburization time becomes longer.
[0026]
The reason for this is that when the [O] concentration in the molten steel increases, it becomes easier to react with [O] and [Mn] in the molten steel as in the case of the low [O] concentration in the molten steel, and the Mn of the product MnO This is because the bonding force with O increases, and the reaction rate of [C] in the molten steel depriving O in MnO decreases.
[0027]
1 and 2 show the test results in which the [Mn] concentration in the molten steel before the decarburization treatment was changed to 0.4% and 0.8%, but the [Mn] in the molten steel before the decarburization treatment was shown. The test was performed by continuously changing the concentration to 0.1 to 1.3%.
[0028]
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the Mn concentration and the oxygen concentration in molten steel that enables high-speed decarburization with a decarburization time of 10 minutes or less.
[0029]
From the figure, it was found that the range in which high-speed decarburization with a decarburization time within 10 minutes is within the range of the following formula.
[0030]
[Equation 3]
Figure 0003675253
[0031]
【Example】
In a converter, 300 t of molten steel with 0.04% [C] in the molten steel was taken out into a ladle.
[0032]
In addition, Mn was added with the converter, and after the steel from the converter, the ladle was moved to RH and vacuum decarburization was performed.
[0033]
Table 1 shows the results of the examples.
[0034]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003675253
[0035]
In addition, the “[O] concentration in the calculated molten steel” shown in the table indicates a concentration range calculated by the following formula from the “[Mn] concentration in the molten steel”.
[0036]
[Expression 4]
Figure 0003675253
[0037]
Also, the “[O] concentration in the calculated molten steel and the concentration comparison in the measured molten steel” shown in the table show that the “[O] concentration in the measured molten steel before decarburization” and “after decarburization” A circle is marked if any [O] concentration in the measured molten steel is included, and a cross is marked if any of them is off.
[0038]
In addition, “[O] concentration in the measured molten steel before decarburization” and “[O] concentration in the measured molten steel after decarburization” are given parentheses (numerical values) that are out of the calculated concentration range. .
[0039]
As shown in Table 1, the example of the present invention in which the relationship between “[Mn] concentration in molten steel” and “[O] concentration before and after decarburization treatment” satisfies the above formula is decarburization time within 10 minutes. However, in the comparative example which was not satisfied, the decarburization required time was 18 minutes or more.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the decarburization time can be shortened.
[0041]
Specifically, the melting of the Mn-containing ultra-low carbon steel that conventionally required about 20 minutes can be melted within 10 minutes.
