Effect of CaO/SiO2 and CaO/Al2O3 in CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 particles on desulfurization of molten steel studied by confocal scanning laser microscopy
摘要
The instantaneous desulfurization of CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 slag particles in the molten steel was in situ observed using a high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscope. The desulfurization effect of CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 slags with different compositions was discussed. The influence of CaO/Al2O3 and CaO/SiO2 on the desulfurization effect was analyzed. It was shown that in the liquid phase range, the higher CaO/SiO2 and CaO/Al2O3 can significantly improve the desulfurization effect of the slag. A dimensionless desulfurization index Sindex was introduced to evaluate the desulfurization ability of CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 slags quantitatively. The Sindex values of CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 with different compositions at 1550 °C were calculated. It was suggested to use (65%–75%)CaO–(0–20%)SiO2–(20%–40%)Al2O3 slags to improve the molten steel desulfurization.
