Abstract

A thermodynamic model for seven CaO-MgO-BaO-CaF2-SiO2-Al2O3-TiO2 ladle slags based on the Ion and Molecule Coexistence theory (IMCT) is establishment and validated by the experiment results at 1873K. The calculated activity of SiO2, Al2O3 and TiO2 in the slag can be approved by the experiment results and the IMCT model used in this study is reasonable. Then the influence factors such as the mass ratio of CaO to SiO2 (C/S ratio) ranging from 1 to 10, the mass ratio of CaO to Al2O3 (C/A ratio) ranging from 1 to 2.5, TiO2 content (wt pct) ranging from 0 to 30, BaO content (wt pct) ranging from 0 to 30 are investigated based on the thermodynamic calculating results. The raise of C/S ratio, TiO2 content and BaO content in the slag can increase the molar Gibbs energy change (ΔG) of Ti reacted with SiO2 and Al2O3 or Al reacted with SiO2. The effect of C/A ratio on the molar Gibbs energy change (ΔG) of Ti reacted with SiO2 and Al2O3 or Al reacted with SiO2 was less. Finally, the slag with higher C/S ratio and TiO2 content and appropriate BaO content can weaken the reaction between Ti and SiO2 or Al2O3 in the slag.

Highlights

  • TiC and TiN inclusion can be formed in the Ti bearing steel in the solidification process (Cavazos et al, 2011; Leban and Tisu, 2013), which can increase the strength of the final products, as the steel’s secondary phase (Huang et al, 2018)

  • Due to the adding of BaO in the ladle slag has a excellently ability for desulphurization (Gao et al, 2012), this study is mainly focused on the investigation of the reactive between CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-TiO2-CaF2-BaO slag and 0.361% Ti bearing steel (0.0361%Al) by use the thermodynamic model (IMCT model), which is needed to be approved by the experiment results

  • 1) According to the comparing results between thermodynamic calculation and experimental values, the Ion and Molecule Coexistence theory (IMCT) model established in this paper is reasonable

Summary

INTRODUCTION

TiC and TiN inclusion can be formed in the Ti bearing steel in the solidification process (Cavazos et al, 2011; Leban and Tisu, 2013), which can increase the strength of the final products, as the steel’s secondary phase (Huang et al, 2018). According to the previous researches (Qian et al, 2014; Jiang et al, 2016; Li and Cheng, 2019), The IMCT model has been applied in CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-TiO2-CaF2 slag system successfully for Ti-bearing stainless steel and 825 alloy refining process. Due to the adding of BaO in the ladle slag has a excellently ability for desulphurization (Gao et al, 2012), this study is mainly focused on the investigation of the reactive between CaO-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3-TiO2-CaF2-BaO slag and 0.361% Ti bearing steel (0.0361%Al) by use the thermodynamic model (IMCT model), which is needed to be approved by the experiment results.
