Definitions
- the invention relates to the preparation of metals in the liquid state, in particular of steel. It is particularly applicable to the production of high purity steels, with grades extremely low in carbon, or even nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
- the circulation of metal between the pocket and the tank causes a gentle agitation of the metal in the pocket, favorable for good settling of non-metallic inclusions.
- reactors from the type called "DH" differ from HR in that their tank is only connected to one single plunger, by which part of the liquid metal contained in the pocket is sucked into the tank to be subjected to reduced pressure.
- the renewal of the metal present in the tank is provided discontinuously, either by temporary interruptions of the setting under reduced tank pressure, which returns the metal to the pocket liquid contained in the tank, either by a distance of the pocket from the tank to constant pressure in the tank; which also causes such a metal return in the pocket since the difference in level between the metal surfaces in the pocket and in the tank must remain constant.
- gas insufflation is not necessary; it is nevertheless highly recommended if we want to promote the most effective metallurgical degassing and, possibly, decarburatiori reactions sought.
- a time treatment time of 10 minutes may be enough to lower the carbon content in the steel by 300 ppm to 20 ppm.
- Installations in which the steel pocket is simply placed in an enclosure under reduced pressure are not as good adapted for this purpose.
- Very large quantities of gas cannot be injected into it to accelerate the decarburization kinetics, and the vacuum exposure of the refractories in the pocket, which often contain carbonaceous materials, accentuates the recarburations of the metal from of these refractories.
- RH and DH reactors of conventional design Another disadvantage of the RH and DH reactors of conventional design is that their tightness compared to the ambient atmosphere is not always satisfactory at the level of the plungers (whose refractories have a certain porosity) and their connections at the bottom of the tank. .
- the resulting air aspirations can be estimated at several hundred Nm 3 / h on large industrial installations. They cause an uncontrolled supply of oxygen and nitrogen to the liquid metal, which makes it more difficult to control decarburization and limits the extent of denitriding that can be carried out.
- the aim of the invention is to propose a new type of metallurgical reactor, which, in particular, gives access to the carbon contents in liquid steel of the order of 10 ppm and less under satisfactory productivity conditions.
- This reactor should also be capable of being used to produce steels with low or very low nitrogen contents as well in oxygen, just like the HR and DH of classic design.
- the subject of the invention is a metallurgical reactor for treatment under reduced pressure of a liquid metal, such as steel, contained in a pocket, of the type comprising a tank connected to a gas suction installation capable of keeping it there reduced pressure and two tubular plungers with upper ends open into openings in the bottom of the tank, the ends of which lower can be immersed in said liquid metal contained in said pocket, one of said plungers, called “ascending plunger”, comprising means for blowing a gas in its interior space in order to create a movement of movement of the metal liquid between the bag and the tank during said treatment, characterized in that it comprises also an enclosure provided with means for blowing a gas into its interior space adapted to the creation in the enclosure of a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, and in which the pocket is placed, the upper edge of said enclosure being provided for sealingly support the bottom of the tank during said treatment, and means to lift the pocket towards the tank during said treatment.
- the invention also relates to a metallurgical reactor for treatment under reduced pressure of a liquid metal, such as steel, contained in a pocket, of the type comprising a tank connected to a gas suction installation capable of keeping it there reduced pressure and a tubular plunger whose upper end opens into a opening in the bottom of the tank, the lower end of which can be submerged in said liquid metal contained in said pocket, characterized in that it comprises also an enclosure provided with means for blowing a gas into its interior space adapted to the creation in the enclosure of a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, and in which the pocket is placed, the upper edge of said enclosure being provided for sealingly support the bottom of the tank during said treatment, and means to lift the pocket towards the tank during said treatment.
- the metallurgical reactor according to the invention is distinguished traditional vacuum reactor type RH or DH essentially in that the pocket, instead of just being in the open air, is placed in an enclosure on the edge upper part of which the bottom of the vacuum tank is made to seal.
- the enclosure is inerted by a neutral gas which puts it under a pressure substantially higher than atmospheric pressure, so as to cause the rise in the tank vacuum of a maximum quantity of liquid metal.
- the tank 5 is equipped with means for blowing argon into the liquid steel 1 which it contains, such as parietal nozzles 12 (only one has been shown, but there may be several) or submerged spears.
- This blown argon the flow of which is generally of the same order of magnitude as the flow blown into the ascending plunger 7 or even a little higher, accelerates the degassing and also the decarburization reaction. This is due to a sweeping effect of the gases present or formed in the liquid bath 1, and also to the creation of projections of liquid steel 13 in the form of fine droplets.
- These droplets 13 offer a large specific surface of exposure to the rarefied atmosphere of the tank 5, which also goes in the direction of an acceleration of decarburization.
- the argon blown into the ascending plunger 7 has a similar effect of creating projections 13 in the tank 5.
- the argon blown into the pocket 2 by the porous plug 14 to homogenize the liquid steel 1 which it contains may also contribute if the porous plug 14 is placed directly above the ascending plunger 7. It is also possible to provide the possibility of injecting oxygen into the liquid steel 1 present in the tank 5, by means of an emerged lance 15 or parietal nozzles, if necessary to increase its dissolved oxygen content to accentuate decarburization at the start of treatment. Insufflation of oxygen can also be used at certain stages of the treatment to heat the liquid metal 1 by aluminothermy.
- This suction capacity would be more usefully used for the evacuation of a larger quantity of gases favoring the kinetics of decarburization, such as the argon blown through the pipe 11 and the nozzles 12.
- a larger quantity of gases favoring the kinetics of decarburization, such as the argon blown through the pipe 11 and the nozzles 12.
- the amount of argon that can be injected into the tank 5 is limited by the intensity of the projections 13 which it can tolerate: these projections 13 must not lead to too rapid fouling of the internal walls of the tank 5 by creating a layer 16 of solidified metal.
- the installation of the type according to the invention has in common with the previous one the presence of a pocket 2 containing the steel liquid 1 to be treated, and equipped with a porous plug 14.
- a pocket 2 containing the steel liquid 1 to be treated and equipped with a porous plug 14.
- the vacuum treatment bag 2 is not exposed to the open air but placed in an enclosure vertical 17 of which, in the example shown, the height appreciably exceeds that of the pocket 2.
- Pocket 2 is not placed directly on the bottom of the enclosure 17, but on the platform 18 of an elevating device 19.
- the enclosure 17 includes means 20 for infuse large quantities of an inerting gas such as argon.
- the enclosure 17 there is at least one hopper 21 containing elements addition that one may wish to add to the liquid steel 1 during its treatment, or mineral matter which may constitute a synthetic slag intended to cover the surface liquid steel 1 present in the pocket 2.
- a retractable chute 22 makes it possible to produce these inputs of material into the pocket 2, at least when the latter is in the low position.
- the upper edge of the enclosure 17 is constituted by a wide horizontal rim 23, comprising on its upper face a seal 24.
- the installation according to the invention also comprises a tank 25, inside which is carried out the vacuum treatment of the liquid steel 1.
- this tank 25 is similar to the tank 5 of the conventional RH of Figure 1. It comprises two plungers 26, 27 connected to the bottom 28 of the tank 25: an ascending plunger 26, comprising a pipe 29 for bringing argon into its interior space, and a descending plunger 27 by which the liquid steel returns to the pocket 2 after having passed through the interior of the tank 25.
- a suction installation 30 makes it possible to maintain a tank pressure P of the order of approximately 1 torr inside the tank 25.
- the tank passed through the interior space of the tank 25.
- a suction installation 30 makes it possible to maintain a pressure P tank of the order of approximately 1 torr inside the tank 25.
- the tank 25 is fitted, on its side wall, with parietal nozzles 31 for insufflati one argon, or even also a lance 32 for insufflation of oxygen.
- parietal nozzles 31 and this lance 32 it is advantageous to have nozzles 33 for blowing argon and / or oxygen into the bottom 28 of the tank 25; thus, at a given instant, most of the liquid metal 1 present in the tank 25 can be directly subjected to the action of these gases, and not only the liquid metal 1 which would be located directly above the ascending plunger 26 or near the side wall of the tank 25.
- the tank 25 is brought above the enclosure 17, and it is allowed to rest with its full weight on the rim 23, so as to obtain excellent sealing all around the rim 23, thanks to the seal 24.
- the length plungers 26, 27 is chosen so that at this stage of processing where the elevator 19 on which the pocket 2 rests is in the low position, their lower ends do not not dip or weakly (as shown in Figure 2a) in the liquid steel 1 contained in the pocket 2.
- the tank 25 After the installation of the tank 25, one begins to breathe massively of argon inside the enclosure 17 thanks to the means 20 provided for in this Indeed, in order to make the atmosphere of the enclosure 17 non-polluting for the liquid metal 1.
- the bag 2 is raised by means of the device riser 19 so as to dip the plungers 26, 27 more deeply into the steel liquid 1, and simultaneously lowering the pressure in the tank 25 to suck steel therein liquid 1 from bag 2.
- the rise in bag 2 continues, preferably up to that the lower ends of the plungers 26, 27 are close to the bottom of the pocket 2.
- the circulation of the liquid metal between the bag 2 and the tank 25 is started thanks to a blowing argon into the ascending plunger 26 by means of the pipe 29.
- the supply of this pipe 29 should preferably, for convenience, remain external to the enclosure 17. For this purpose, it is possible, as shown, to cross the pipe 29 the bottom 28 of the tank 25 to open it outside the installation.
- a quantity of argon is injected into the enclosure 17 so that it creates therein an enclosure pressure P significantly higher than atmospheric pressure, for example from 2 to 3 bar (i.e. 2.10 5 to 3.10 5 Pa) .
- P significantly higher than atmospheric pressure
- this overpressure guarantees that the air cannot penetrate inside the enclosure 17 during the treatment, it has the very important advantage of increasing the difference in level ⁇ h between the surfaces of the baths of liquid steel 1 present in the pocket 2 and in tank 25.
- the tank 25 of the installation according to the invention can have a very significantly greater capacity. Indeed, the diameter of its bottom 28 must be at least sufficient for the tank 25 to rest on the rim 23 of the enclosure 17, which implies that this diameter is significantly greater than that of pocket 2 (unless laterally extends the bottom 28 by a collar, and that it is this collar which rests on the rim 23 of the enclosure 17; but then we deprive our of the particular advantages related to a large diameter of the tank 25 which will be seen later).
- a partition in refractory 34 disposed between the orifices 35, 36 through which the liquid metal arrives in the tank 25 and leaves, bars the bottom of the interior space of the tank 25 to prevent a significant portion of the liquid metal 1 which enters the tank 25 via the ascending plunger 26 does not then pass directly into the descending diver 27 after having stayed than a brief moment in the tank 25. This reduces the dispersion of the residence times in the tank 25 of the different portions of the liquid metal 1.
- This partition 34 can, as shown, have a relatively small height, and thus allow the liquid steel 1 of the cross by overflow when it has reached its nominal level.
- the tank 25 can also make these additions of alloying elements in the tank 25 itself, if it is equipped with devices for this purpose, as is generally the case with RH tanks conventional 5.
- the hoppers can also be placed outside the enclosure 17, by associating with means of transporting materials passing through the wall of the enclosure 17.
- a such an arrangement has the advantage of reducing the necessary internal volume of the enclosure 17, therefore to decrease the quantity of gas which it is necessary to breathe in to inert it or the To put under pressure.
- the first advantage of the installation according to the invention over HR classic is to make the leaks that can be seen without consequences usually at the plungers and their connections to the tank. If such faults exist on the installation according to the invention, they only result in the aspiration of a part of the inerting argon present in the enclosure 17, and not by the air intake. There is therefore no oxygen and nitrogen pollution of the liquid metal 1 by atmospheric air.
- the suction installation 30 can be used to the best of its ability. capacities, since all the gases it extracts from tank 25 or result from the degassing of liquid steel 1, or contributed to accelerating this degassing. This advantage can only be increased if, in addition, the enclosure 17 is maintained under a high inerting gas pressure.
- the installation according to the invention makes it possible to increase very substantially the average residence time of a given portion of the liquid metal 1 in the tank 25, without increasing the total duration of the treatment. Metallurgical reactions related to stay of the liquid metal in the tank 25 under reduced pressure can therefore be carried out in more detail.
- the need to have a tank 25 of relatively large diameter, of so as to completely close the enclosure 17, has the corollary of providing the liquid steel 1 present in the tank 25 a large specific surface of exposure to reduced pressure.
- the elevator 19 and its platform 18 allow to control the relative positions of the bag 2 and the tank 25, as previously described.
- the absence of the elevator 19 would oblige, during placing the tank 25, immediately immersing the plungers 26, 27 in the steel liquid 1 over almost their entire height, and the volume of liquid steel 1 they move would cause pocket 2 to overflow if used to capacity nominal.
- a tank 25 whose internal diameter is 4.4 m (which corresponds to an area of 15 m 2 ) and plungers of length 2.45 m and internal diameter 0.7 m.
- a pressure difference P enclosure - P tank ) of 2 bar (i.e. 2.10 5 Pa) to obtain the difference in level ⁇ h of 2.95 m necessary to obtain the target bath depth of 0.5 m in the tank 25. It corresponds to an amount of metal 1 present in the tank 25 and the plungers 26, 27 of 65.5 t.
- the metal 1 found in the tank 25, by means of the nozzles 31, 33 a total quantity of argon of approximately 20,000 Nl / min (compared to the flow rate of around 5000 Nl / min that a conventional RH could tolerate without that excessive metal splashes occur on the walls of the tank).
- An installation according to the invention is part of a production chain simply by replacing a vacuum treatment system of the RH or DH type conventional or empty in tank, without the need to modify the organization of the steelworks and the general production scheme in force for ultra-low grade steel grades carbon.
- it can also, like conventional HR, deal with profit other grades than ultra-low carbon steels. They will benefit from the absence of pollution of the metal by aspirated air, as well as the increase in time means of exposure to reduced pressure and gas sweep for a period of treatment given. This will notably allow either to obtain dehydrogenations, carbon denitruration and deoxidation more than with RH conventional, or, for equal metallurgical performance, to reduce the processing time liquid steel.

Description
- d'une cuve de grande hauteur et de forme grossièrement cylindrique, revêtue intérieurement de réfractaires, et dont la partie supérieure est connectée à une installation d'aspiration des gaz capable de maintenir dans cette cuve une pression réduite, qui peut descendre jusqu'à 1 torr ou moins lorsque le réacteur est en fonctionnement (on rappelle que 1 torr ≈ 133 Pa ou 1,33.10-3 bar);
- de deux plongeurs tubulaires en matériau réfractaire, de section circulaire ou ovale, connectés à la cuve par leur extrémité supérieure; l'un de ces plongeurs est muni d'un dispositif permettant d'insuffler un gaz dans son espace intérieur, habituellement de l'argon.
- une décarburation partielle, par combinaison sous forme de CO du carbone avec de l'oxygène déjà dissous dans le métal ou y étant insufflé à cet effet par une lance ou des tuyères insérées dans la paroi de la cuve ;
- une addition d'éléments d'alliages qui est ainsi effectuée à l'abri de l'air et du laitier de poche, donc avec un rendement optimal ;
- un réchauffage du métal par aluminothermie : on lui ajoute de l'aluminium, puis on y insuffle de l'oxygène, et l'oxydation de l'aluminium qui en résulte provoque ce réchauffage.
- la figure 1 qui représente vue en coupe longitudinale, à titre de référence, une installation de traitement sous vide de l'acier liquide du type RH, représentative de l'art antérieur de l'invention;

- une déshydrogénation, relativement facile car sa cinétique est favorable ;
- une dénitruration, dont l'ampleur est généralement limitée, du fait d'une cinétique peu favorable et étroitement dépendante de la composition du métal : la dénitruration est d'autant plus lente que les teneurs de l'acier en oxygène dissous et en soufre sont plus élevées ; le balayage de l'acier liquide par l'argon qui le traverse, et éventuellement par l'hydrogène qui s'en dégage, favorise, au contraire, la dénitruration ;
- une décarburation, qui n'a lieu que si la teneur du bain en éléments désoxydants forts (aluminium, silicium, manganèse) et la pression partielle de CO dans la cuve 5 sont suffisamment faibles pour que l'oxygène dissous contenu dans l'acier liquide 1 présent dans la cuve 5 puisse se combiner au carbone, selon des lois thermodynamiques connues ; la cinétique de cette décarburation, lorsqu'elle est possible, est également favorisée par le balayage dû à l'argon et le dégagement de l'hydrogène.
- soit calculer la géométrie de l'installation pour que la quasi-totalité du métal initialement présent dans la poche se retrouve dans la cuve lors du traitement, de manière à limiter autant que possible la quantité de métal qui ne sera pas significativement soumise au traitement sous vide ;
- soit assurer le renouvellement du métal dans la cuve, par des réductions périodiques de la différence de pression (Penceinte - Pcuve), ou par des éloignements périodiques de la poche et de la cuve à l'aide du dispositif élévateur de la poche.
