Abstract

The article analyzes the work of the oxygen-converter shop of PJSC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih». It is shown that almost half of the total number of blowing supplements (~ 44%) is carried out by temperature. In order to improve the conditions of steel smelting and reduce resource costs, calculations were performed and new technological solutions were found in steel smelting to reduce the number of additives. The study of real smelters demonstrated the need for corrective operations in the smelting of steel using scrap metal of different types. Scrap smelts have a clear relationship between the amount of scrap in the charge and the temperature of the melt in the first dump. The addition of «goat» scrap to the charge has a number of uncontrolled effects on the process due to significant fluctuations in the chemical composition of this type of metal charge. An economic analysis with introducing the developed control mechanism over the course of steel smelting into the software system for conditions PSJC «ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih» was performed.

Highlights

  • The modern period of development of the metallurgical industry is characterized by intensification of production, which consists in continuous increase of specific and absolute productivity of metallurgical units, improving the range of manufactured metal products and its quality, which reduces the specific costs of metal, energy and labor costs

  • The constructive solutions available in real practice to eliminate this problem are not possible for implementation in the conditions of the oxygenconverter shop of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, which requires a search for new approaches to reduce blowing supplements

  • The purpose of this work is the analysis of melting passports at PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" and the search for new technological solutions for steelmaking to reduce the number of additives based on the analysis

Summary

Introduction

The modern period of development of the metallurgical industry is characterized by intensification of production, which consists in continuous increase of specific and absolute productivity of metallurgical units, improving the range of manufactured metal products and its quality, which reduces the specific costs of metal, energy and labor costs. One of the problems is supplements in steel production, which reduce the productivity of the unit and deteriorate the quality of steel. The constructive solutions available in real practice to eliminate this problem are not possible for implementation in the conditions of the oxygenconverter shop of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, which requires a search for new approaches to reduce blowing supplements. The development of information methods of control and management of the technological process has recently opened up new opportunities to improve the processes in metallurgy at all production stages and steel-making production did not stand aside. The purpose of this work is the analysis of melting passports at PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih" and the search for new technological solutions for steelmaking to reduce the number of additives based on the analysis
