Water Model on Fine Inclusion Removal by Bubble Flotation in RH Refining Process

摘要

With the development of socio-economic and science and technology, People are more strict to the requirement of steel quality. A physical model was established according to the "similarity theory" to simulate the real 180t RH-TB vacuum refining device. Liquid steel is simulated by Nacl solution, Fine inclusions is simulated by high density polypropylene less than 0.04mm in diameter. The influence regularity of treatment time, lift gas flow rate and method of addition, the amount and time of NaHCO_3 addition on the inclusions removal rate have been discussed, the optimal values for each influence factor have been found and can be used in optimizing the refining technology.
