When the liquid bath was at 1600℃,top blowing of oxygen began to decrease the bath's carbon without stopping plasma operation for its temperature addition and maintennace of at least 1750 ℃. The liquid bath was agitated by bottom-blowning nitrogen. In the experiments low carbon Fe-Cr have been obtained whose composition respectively was 0.45% carbon,50.75% chrome and 0.42% carbon, 70.25% chrome. Loss of chrome could be less than 5%.展开更多

The dual torch plasma arc is generated between the cathode and anode with argon as the working gas. The temperature distributions of the plasma arc are measured using a spectroscope and line pair method with the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium （LTE） for the DC arc current I=100 A and argon flow rate Q = 15 slpm. The measurements show that the temperatures of the dual torch arc plasma in the regions near the cathode, the anode and the center point are 10,000 K, 11,000 K and 9,000 K, respectively. And the high temperature region of the multi torch plasma arc is of double or much wider size than that of a conventional dual torch plasma arc and single plasma torch. Based on the preceding studies, a dual torch plasma arc furnace is developed in this study. The measured gas temperature at the center region of the argon arc is about 11,000 K for the case of I=200 A and Q=30 slpm operated in atmosphere.展开更多

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.展开更多
