| Abstract Scope |
Based on the metallurgical process and slag theory, this work analyzed the structural and compositional characteristics of the slag layer of the insertion tube during the RH refining process of high carbon steel by the analytical test methods of XRF, XRD, and SEM with Spectrometry. The slag-sticking behavior of the insertion tube and the slag-sticking mechanism were studied. The results show that the generation of slag-sticking is mainly generated by the high viscosity and high melting point refining slag reacted with the casting material inserted into the tube and then adhered to it and constantly accumulated growth. And in the refining process by the influence of alternating temperatures, the persistence of the "viscous adhesion" and "precipitation of adhesion". The mechanism analysis and experimental research of slag formation provide theoretical support for improving the behavior of slag sticking in the insertion tube during RH refining of high-carbon steel. |
