Effect of Tundish Coating on Cleanliness of GCr15 Bearing Steel
Abstract
The evolution of inclusions in molten steel in tundish before and after vacuum treatment during the production of GCr15 bearing steel in a steel plant is analyzed， the results showed that total oxygen content in molten steel increased greatly in tundish. Magnesium aluminum Spinel inclusions increased in RH soft blowing and tundish to varying degrees， and the number increased significantly in tundish. The MgO aggregate particles in the working layer of the tundish coating are greatly reduced， and some MgO particles are dissolved in the molten steel， resulting in the increase of oxygen content in the molten steel.The effect of different SiO2 content on the phase of tundish coating was discussed by thermodynamic simulation analysis. It was proposed that the control of SiO2 content at range 4%~6% and the strengthening of tundish masonry management can reduce the formation of high temperature low melting phase in tundish coating and effectively improve the flaw detection eligibility rate of bearing steel GCr15 head slab.
