摘要

The top–bottom combined blowing converter mainly adopts the blowing method of top-blowing oxygen and bottom-blowing nitrogen. In the production process, there are some disadvantages, such as a significant temperature difference between the top and bottom of the molten pool, inadequate gas permeability of bottom blowing, and low decarburization efficiency. Therefore, we propose a novel bottom-blowing gas doped oxygen process to enhance the smelting conditions in the converter. The 500 kg medium frequency induction furnace with top and bottom-blowing function was used to explore the influence of the proportion of bottom-blowing gas doped oxygen on the smelting effect in different smelting cycles. Subsequently, industrial experimental verification was carried out on a 60 t converter. The results of intermediate frequency furnace experiments demonstrate that the bottom-blowing gas doped oxygen process exhibits a superior heating rate and decarburization efficiency during the initial and final stages of blowing compared to pure N2 used for bottom-blowing. Simultaneously, the dephosphorization efficiency exhibited an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease as the bottom-blowing oxygen content increased. The industrial test of 60 t converter validates the findings above. Moreover, when the oxygen content in bottom-blowing gas is 5%, the average blowing time reduces by 54 s, and the minimum endpoint carbon–oxygen equilibrium reaches 0.00219 under this condition. The results demonstrate that the appropriate amount of oxygen doped in bottom-blowing gas can effectively enhance the metallurgical conditions of the converter and improve production efficiency.
