【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 この発明は、溶融金属中に浮遊する介在物を除去する溶
融金属の清浄化方法に関する。TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for cleaning molten metal, which removes inclusions floating in the molten metal.
溶融金属中に浮遊する介在物（例えば溶鋼中のアルミナ

減・除去方法が種々提案されている。Inclusions floating in the molten metal (for example, alumina-based inclusions in molten steel) cause defects in product quality, and various reduction / removal methods have been proposed.

介在物は該ガス気泡にトラツプされて浮上する。The present inventors have made the following proposal in view of the demand that the total amount of oxygen in molten steel should be suppressed to 15 ppm or less for the purpose of producing high-grade materials. That is, the molten metal in a pressurized state is bubbled with a gas soluble in the molten metal to dissolve the gas in the molten metal, and then the pressure is rapidly reduced to generate fine gas bubbles in the molten metal. . According to this method, ordinary inclusions in the molten metal are trapped and floated by the gas bubbles at the first bubbling. On the other hand, since the bubbling is performed on the molten metal which is pressurized, a large amount of the bubbling gas is dissolved in the molten metal. By the rapid depressurization thereafter, the gas dissolved in the molten metal becomes fine gas bubbles and is generated from the entire molten metal. At this time, the fine inclusions are trapped by the gas bubbles and float up.

なつた。Further, the inventors of the present invention make it possible to carry out the degassing of the bubbling gas which remains in the molten metal in a large amount as a separate processing step together with the degassing in the above-mentioned cleaning processing step. Therefore, the processing technology was further improved.

処理を行なうというものである。この改良型の方法では
減圧処理によつて微細ガス気泡が発生せしめられるだけ
でなく、製品として要望される溶融金属中の脱ガスも一
緒に行なわれることになる。That is, in the above method, the molten metal is pressurized at the time of gas bubbling, and the concentration of the gas in the molten metal at the beginning is high. Since part of the material remains undissolved, as a countermeasure against this, the pressure treatment at the time of bubbling is stopped, and bubbling is performed under atmospheric pressure or lower, and then pressure reduction treatment is performed. In this improved method, not only fine gas bubbles are generated by the reduced pressure treatment, but also degassing in the molten metal required as a product is also performed.

るには効率の良い方法であるが、溶解したガスが減圧に
より再び発生して微細ガス気泡となるガス発生量は時間
と共に減少し、浮上効果が減少してしまうという問題が
あつた。Although any of the above methods is an efficient method for removing inclusions in the molten metal, the amount of gas generated when the dissolved gas is regenerated by depressurization to form fine gas bubbles decreases with time, and it floats. There was a problem that the effect would decrease.
本発明は以上のような問題に鑑み創案されたもので、上
記の両方法を改良し、減圧時にも浮上効果が低下しない
ようにするものである。The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and improves both of the above methods so that the levitation effect does not decrease even during depressurization.
そのため本発明は、上記の両方法を夫々実施するに当
り、減圧時にも該溶融金属に可溶なガスをバブリングす
ることを基本的特徴とするものである。Therefore, the present invention is basically characterized by bubbling a gas soluble in the molten metal even when the pressure is reduced, in carrying out both of the above methods.

で、そのバブリングガスのガス気泡による介在物のトラ

られることになる。By bubbling a gas soluble in the molten metal even during depressurization, trapping of inclusions due to gas bubbles of the bubbling gas and trapping of small inclusions due to generation of minute gas bubbles are continuously performed, and the effect of floating inclusions is increased. Will be obtained over a long period of time.
以下本発明の具体的実施例につき説明する。まず、加圧
状態でバブリングしその後減圧する方法について本発明
者は次のような実験を行なつた。Specific examples of the present invention will be described below. First, the present inventor conducted the following experiment on a method of bubbling under pressure and then depressurizing.

容器内のガス圧は3atmになるように調圧弁で制御する。
バブリング終了後、大気圧にまで減圧し、発生したガス
気泡が浮上するまで約20分間放置する。Put 50 tons of molten steel in a 50 tons pressure vessel and cover. Then, the internal atmosphere is replaced with argon gas. Then, from the bottom of the pressure vessel, (Ar: 70%, H 2 : 30%) mixed gas, 200 / m
Gas bubble for 20 minutes at an insufflation rate. At this time,
The gas pressure in the container is controlled by the pressure regulating valve so that it becomes 3 atm.
After the bubbling is completed, the pressure is reduced to atmospheric pressure, and the gas bubbles are left for about 20 minutes until they float.
一方、これとは別に本願第１発明を実施した。即ち、上
記の加圧減圧法と略同一の処理を行ない、減圧時に容器

That is, substantially the same treatment as the pressurization and depressurization method described above is performed, and when depressurizing, the same mixed gas as described above is supplied from the bottom of the container at a speed of 100 / min for 20 minutes.
I'm bubbling for a minute.

効果において更に優れていることがわかる。The drawing is a graph showing changes in the total oxygen content in molten steel due to the above two molten steel treatments. According to the figure, the total oxygen content before treatment was 80 ppm and the molten steel was 15 ppm in the pressure reduction method according to the previous proposal, whereas it was 10 ppm in the method of the present invention, and the method of the present invention is more It can be seen that the cleaning effect is further excellent.

After that, the molten steel was transferred into a VAD facility, and while being thermally compensated, the pressure was rapidly reduced to 1 torr and kept for 20 minutes. At this time, Ar gas was bubbled from the bottom of the ladle at the same time at 150 Nl / min.
