Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND ART



[0002] Structural steel, with the largest production, is the most widely used in the steel plate manufacturing of iron and steel enterprises. Since there are too many smelting grades, the production efficiency of the iron and steel enterprises is limited by the structural steel. At the same time, a large amount of the remaining billets is generated, which would seriously affect the capital turnover of the iron and steel enterprises. Currently, there are 115 grades of the structural steel produced by the iron and steel enterprises, including 50 grades of the structural steel in Grade 345. In the continuous casting process, each steel grade requires a production process, and there is a casting sequence between different steel grades, which cause high pressure on the production, and the continuous casting segment is generally downgraded to use. Ultimately, the waste is serious, and the development of productivity is limited to a certain degree.

S2. designing a smelting process according to the requirements of the ordered products on crack detection; wherein, the smelting process of the ordered products required the crack detection comprises: molten iron desulfurization → BOF smelting → LF refining → RH vacuum degassing → CCM casting, and the smelting process of the ordered products without requiring the crack detection comprises: molten iron desulfurization → BOF smelting → LF refining → CCM casting;

S3. scheduling the production according to the requirements of the ordered products on quantity and delivery time; and

S4. collecting remaining billets after smelting, and preferentially using the remaining billets for the production of subsequent ordered products.



[0004] The technical effects of the present disclosure are: the peritectic reaction and the medium-carbon composition design are adopted in a unified manner according to the manufacturing standards and the mechanical properties of the ordered products. Meanwhile, a carbon equivalent is adjusted by adopting C, Mn, Cr, Ni, Mo, Cu, V and other elements according to the requirements of the ordered products, to meet the mechanical properties.
