Steel Melting shop Inputs for EAF  Metallic inputs:  Hot metal from blast furnace(50 to 55%). %C : 3.8 to 4.2% %Si : 0.7 % max %P : 0.13 max Temp : 1280 deg min  DRI (Lumps +Fines) from DRI Plant (40 to 49%). %C : 0.1 max %Fe(met) : 81 min %SiO2 : 3.5  Scrap(1-5%)  Flux:  Lime from LDP (Lime and Dololime Plant)  Burned dolomite from LDP

 Other inputs:  Oxygen from Oxygen plant.  CPC (Calcined petroleum coke)  HSD (High speed Diesel)

Functions of EAF: 1.Melting of Solid inputs and homogenization of steel bath. 2.Raising the temperature of the melt to ≈1620 C for tapping. 3.Decarburisation. 4.Dephosphurisation. 5.Slag free and compact stream tapping 6.Flexibility to produce a variety of grades of steel ADVANTAGE: 1.Relatively small in size 2.cleaner environment 3.Flexibilty to produce a variety of grades of steel 4.Precise control

Most important chemical reactions: •

Decarburization : [c] + o = co

• •

Manganese reaction : [Mn] + o =(MnO) Desiliconizing : [Si] + O = (SiO2) (SiO2) + (CaO) = (2Cao.SiO2)



Dephosphorization : [P] + O = (P2O5) (P2O5)+ (CaO) = (3 CaO.P2O5)

• •

Iron Combustion : [Fe] + O = (FeO) Desulphurization : [S] + (CaO) = (CaS) + O

FOAMY SLAG •

Principle of foamy slag – emulsion of metal droplets and gas bubbles in slag

• First step C(Steel)+ O =CO –bubbles Gives energy

• Second step •

Feo(slag) + C = Fe(back to steel) + CO- bubbles Costs energy

• Third Step • •

C(slag) + O = CO – bubbles Fe + O= FeO Gives energy

Advantage of modern development in EAF Advantage of Foamy slag practice • • • • •

Decrease electrical energy consumption Increase refractory life and panel life Reduce nitrogen problem by shielding effect Decrease electrode consumption Increase productivity

Advantage of UHP • Enables Faster melting of solid charge • Decrease tap to tap time hence increase productivity Advantage of oxygen lancing • Faster removal of carbon & other impurities • Faster generation of foamy slag

Ladle refining Furnace(LRF) No of LRF : Make : Capacity : Transformer rating LRF I : LRF II & III :

3 SMS DEMAG 100T each

10 MVA 18 MVA

Main function of LRF: 1.Refining of steel 2.Achieving desired chemistry as per the requirement by adding various Ferro alloys. 3.Thermal and Chemical homogenization of the bath by argon purging. 4.Attaining the lifting Temperature of the steel to maintain the desired super heat.

Vacuum Degasser

VACUUM DEGASSER • •

Design, Engg and Supply : Danieli ,Italy Vacuum degassing mainly based on siverts law

• Salient Features • • •



Suction Capacity Pump down time Vacuum System

: : :

350 Kg/hr at 0.5 torr 5 minutes at 0.5 torr 9 Steam ejectors 3+1 condensers works on successive compression of off-gas in a series of stream ejectors. Argon Stirring : Continuous 14 Nm3/hrs

Functions • remove gaseous element, non-metallic inclusion and sulphur from the steel

RH-Degasser Process -Vacuum evacuation of main chamber. -Steel is raising in to lower vessel equivalent to Ferro static pressure. -Circulation effect is produced by bubbling Ar in the inlet snorkel. -Dissolved gasses and Ar released into the vacuum. -Steel accelerates through the inlet snorkel ( ̴ 1.5m/sec or ̴ 1mt/min). -Steel returns to ladle through 2 chamber vacuum-lock and alloy chute. -Temperature loss is low (RH-vessel preheated). Advantages: -Shortening of the primary metallurgy process short treatment -> high availability. -Achievable metallurgical results: ̴ 1.5 ppm H, ̴ 15 ppm C, ̴ 1 ppm O -High alloy recovery yields. - Homogenization, improved cleanliness.
