摘要
The clean steel refining tests carried out in a 100 kg plasma ladle furnace(PLF)were to show the metallurgical effects of the different plasma gases such as Ar-H_2 and Ar-CO_2.The variations of carbon,nitrogen contents in steels and the mechanism of denitrogenation were studied.Compared with the conventional ladle furnace,when the plasma gases were injected into the ladle furnace,there was a decarburization process,the carburetion rates were reduced obviously. The carburetion rate is 3.6×10^(-6) per minute for the steel heated by conventional LF,and is 2.20 and 1.35 times of the heats blown 85%Ar-15%H_2 and 85%Ar-15%CO_2,respectively.When the plasma ladle furnace operated with Ar-H_2 plasma gas, the denitrogenation of the molten steel occurs.The lowest denitrogenation rate is 0.30×10^(-6)per minute when Ar-H_2 gas mixtures were used.The main reactant gas is monatomic hydrogen and the main product of denitrogenation is NH_3 for Ar-H_2 injection.
