The mixture calculation of producing stainless steel crude melts by chromium ore smelting reduction in a 150 t converter is carried out by use of the empirical data and the calculation method of refining plain carbon steel in a converter, according to the blowing conditions of 185 t smelting reduction converter of No.4 steelmaking shop in Chiba Works of JFE Steel. The calculation results show that the required total consumption of chrome ore, coke and limestone in the smelting reduction process is 224.942 kg, 154.9 kg and 99.223 kg, respectively, under the conditions of this calculation. The total amount of slag includes the amounts of hot metal elements oxidation into slag, lining erosion into slag and chromium ore, coke and adding flux into the slag, which is calculated respectively according to the basic raw data and the set values of process parameters. The slag component is confirmed, namely, the actual basicity w(CaO)/w(SiO2)=2.6, the percentage of CaF2 in slag is 3~4 wt%, and the calculated w(MgO)/w(Al2O3)=0.7. In the actual production, the addition of chrome ore, coke and flux is increased by 3%, 2% and 1%, respectively.

Process Calculation

The process calculation of producing stainless steel crude melts by smelting reduction in a 150 t converter is carried out for the first time by use of the empirical data and calculation method of refining plain carbon steel in a converter, according to the blowing conditions of 185 t smelting reduction converter of No.4 steelmaking shop in Chiba Works of JFE Steel. Using the self-programming procedure for the processing calculation, the proper coke quantity and a complete set of calculation data for the process of smelting reduction in a converter are obtained, including the batch calculation, the material balance and heat balance calculations. The calculation results show that the increase of PCR can decrease the quantity of coke and actual oxygen consumption considerably, and improve the thermal efficiency of smelting reduction converter. For producing 18 wt% Cr stainless steel crude melts, comparing with the process of electric arc furnace, the process of smelting reduction in a converter can reduce the production cost greatly. The use of the recycled metal containing chromium can shorten blowing time and improve the yield of chromium.

According to the comprehensive utilization of 300 series and 400 series stainless steel dust (SSD), and the dephosphorization of the reclaimed Cr-Ni contained hot metal, an experimental method of smelting reduction in iron-bath and oxidational dephosphorization was studied. The result shows: The yield rate of Cr in 300SSDand 400SSDis 98.13% and 98.39% respectively, the yield rate of Ni is almost 100%; During the dephosphorization, through the BaO and CaO-BaO based dephosphorizer has a higher Dephosphorization rate, it can bring pollution problems and the cost is too high, however, under some circumstance when the requirement of phosphorus content is not critical, the CaO based dephosphorizer can also achieved the dephosphorization goal.

For describing and resolving the process of chromium ore smelting reduction preferably, the research status on the thermodynamics and kinetics of chromium ore smelting reduction process was summarized, based on the introduction of the process for smelting stainless steel with hot metal in a converter. The existing problems for smelting stainless steel by chromium ore smelting reduction in a converter were also discussed and some suggestions were made for the future work. A lot of investigations about the thermodynamics and the reduction mechanisms of chromium ore have been done. However, the consistent view about the thermodynamic feasibility and the mechanism of smelting reduction has not been achieved, so the application of research results is limited. Little work about the reaction kinetic model for the production of stainless steel by chromium ore smelting reduction and direct alloying has been done. So the synthetic kinetic model including a dissolution model and a reduction model of chromium ore should be built to predict and control accurately the process.

Carbon Filaments

Considerable effort has been directed toward an improved understanding of the production of the strong and stiff ∼ 1-20 μm diameter pyrolytic carbon fibers of the type reported by Koyama and, more recently, by Tibbetts. These macroscopic fibers are produced when pyrolytic carbon filaments (∼ 0.1 μm or less in diameter) are thickened by deposition of carbon during thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon gases. Each such precursor filament normally lengthens in association with an attached catalyst particle. The subject of filamentous carbon formation and much of the work on characterization of the catalyst particles have been reviewed thoroughly by Baker and Harris. However, identification of the catalyst particles remains a problem of continuing interest. The purpose of this work was to characterize the microstructure of the pyrolytic carbon filaments and the catalyst particles formed inside stainless steel and plain carbon steel tubes. For the present study, natural gas (∼; 97 % methane) was passed through type 304 stainless steel and SAE 1020 plain carbon steel tubes at 1240°K.
