电弧炉EBT区不同底吹搅拌条件的钢液流动数值模拟

Numerical simulation research on molten steel flow under different gas flow rates in the eccentric bottom tapping zone of electric arc furnace

  • 摘要: 底吹工艺在电弧炉炼钢过程中的应用能有效缩短熔池混匀时间, 加速碳、磷、硫的去除, 提高生产效率及产品质量.本文利用数值模拟软件模拟了EBT (偏心底部出钢) 区底吹孔不同气体流量下的电弧炉钢液速度场, 发现当EBT区域底吹气体流量从100 L·min-1升至267 L·min-1 (其他两孔气体流量稳定保持为133 L·min-1) 时, EBT区域钢液的平均流速由2.805×10-3m·s-1升至3.268×10-3m·s-1, 钢液整体平均流速由4.126×10-3m·s-1升至4.610×10-3m·s-1, 并耦合得出EBT区域不同底吹流量下的钢液流动速度经验公式.由于钢液流动是影响熔池内反应的动力学因素, 本文提出了电弧炉炼钢基于底吹熔池搅拌的碳成分预报模型, 为冶炼终点均匀熔池成分、合理供氧操作提供理论建议.

     

    Abstract: The application of the bottom-blowing process in electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process can shorten the mixing time of the molten bath effectively;accelerate the removal of carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur;as well as improve the production efficiency and product quality.The velocity field of molten steel flow under different gas flow rates in eccentric bottom tapping (EBT) zone of EAF was simulated using simulation software.The average velocity of molten steel in the EBT zone was increased from 2.805×10-3■flow rates in EBT zone were increased from 100 to 267 L·min-1 (the rest gas flow rates were maintained at 133 L·min-1) .An empirical formula of gas flow rates in EBT and molten steel flow was obtained.A prediction model for carbon content was proposed based on molten steel stirred via bottom blowing during the EAF steelmaking process.This provided theoretical suggestions for the homogeneity of bath and reasonable oxygen supply considering that the kinetic factor of reactions in the bath was the molten steel flow at the end point of smelting.
