摘要
The melting and mixing phenomena of LaFe alloys during the argon stirring in a ladle was studied using a Eulerian-Lagrangian multiphase approach. Effects of the argon blowing system and the alloy grade on the melting and mixing of the alloy were investigated. Results show that the grade of LaFe alloy influenced its density and melting process in molten steel, and there was a linear relationship between melting time and its grade. The higher the grade was, the shorter the melting time was. The argon blowing with double nozzles was the best way to mix the alloy, followed by single nozzle eccentric argon blowing. The mixing of alloy at the bottom of the ladle was inefficient when the steel was stirred central argon blowing. Under the condition of argon blowing position of 0.8R and argon blowing flow rate of 100 NL / min, the maximum mixing time of pure La metal was less than 300 s, while that of 20LaFe and 50LaFe was more than 320 s. On the premise of acceptable alloy yield, the alloy grade should be increased as much as possible to reduce the mixing time. © 2022 Cailiao Daobaoshe/ Materials Review. All rights reserved.
