Innovative Resource-Saving Technologies in Steel Production & Gas Oxygen Technology (GOR)


Gas-Oxygen Refiner (GOR) to make world-class stainless steel or grade of special steel

The scientists of the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine invented the Gas-Oxygen Refiner (GOR) technology in 1980's.

The GOR can be employed in the following metallurgical applications:

  1. To make stainless steel in a duplex process involving induction furnace or EAF, using the scrap and ferroalloys

  2. To remove sulphur & phosphorus and to refine the molten steel from the induction furnace / electric arc furnace

  3. To produce ferroalloys (e.g. low phosphorus, low carbon ferromanganese)

  4. To refine the rough, black & blister copper and also to refine the rough ferro nickel

  5. To make mild steel, alloy steel or stainless steel directly from the molten iron produced in the blast furnace

Thanks to the converter nature of the GOR technology, minimum capital investments and minimum operational costs are required in the steelmaking stage of metal production.

The GOR can make various grades of alloy steels & stainless steels (301, 304, 304 L, 316, 316 L, 316 Ti, 321, etc.) as well as manganese group of stainless steel grades. The academy provides the design, engineering, automatic control system and both hardware & software technologies for the GOR, to make over 140 grades of steel.

The GOR method is universal. It can replace the traditional converter, ladle refining furnace and VD/AOD / VOD processes. In comparison with these technologies, the GOR has a higher efficiency, wider technological possibilities and generates the highest quality of final products at the level of the world's best standards.

When the capacity of the GOR is in excess of 15 tons, it can be combined with the continuous casting method. Smaller plants can employ ingot casting. GOR process time is 30-45 minutes, depending on the grade of steel. The total cycle time is 55-65 minutes.

An additional GOR feature is alloying the steel with nitrogen during the gaseous phase. After the melting process is completed in the electric arc furnace / induction furnace or blast furnace, the metal is transferred into this bottom- blowing converter, where 3 cleansing stages t ake place; decarbonization, recovery and desulphurization; and if necessary, metal alloying with nitrogen.

Corrosion-resistant steel produced by the GOR method, in comparison with the classic electro-metallurgical method, is much purer in its content & is virtually free from non-metallic particles & other residual impurities.

The GOR technology is also designed for the production of carbon steel, in case of a low demand for stainless steel.

The method of refining the steel in the GOR with a bottom or a combined blowing differs from other methods, by the high rates of all the refining processes. In comparison with the counterparts (AOD - argon-oxygen decarbonization and VOD - vacuum-oxygen decarbonization), the GOR method is characterized by high-performance; it increases the technological capabilities of the steel making process, and at the same time ensures the world-class quality of steel.

The GOR has low investment, low cost of production & high productivity to make high quality of special steels, thus creating good economic benefits to the customers.

The process uses a combined blowing technology to refine the steel.

The GOR main features include

  1. High productivity - oxygen flow is used to refine the pre- steel with liquid carbon, which does not lead to the oxidation of chromium.

  2. Lower Ar consumption - with the late blowing technology for argon, its consumption is reduced to 6-8 m3 per ton.

  3. To save on the cost of the expensive low carbon ferrochrome, high carbon ferrochrome can be used.

  4. Blowing time is short, i.e., only 30-45 minutes to make low carbon stainless steel.

  5. High Cr yield - bottom blowing process improves the gas dynamics, resulting in Cr reduction of 97%.

  6. Refining operations can be easily reproduced & controlled by the process control system. The GOR converter can quickly complete the tasks of decabonization, desulphurization, de-oxidation, degassing and alloying the steel. If necessary, it can also be used for dephosphorization.

Following are the advantages of the GOR, as against the AOD process to make stainless steel:

  1. The GOR can take high carbon ferrochrome (8% carbon) and has no limitations by initial carbon content. When high carbon ferrochrome is used in the GOR, 97-99% of the chrome is available in the stainless steel.
  2. The GOR needs less than 10 m3 of Ar (normally 6-8 m3) per ton of stainless steel, as against 20 m3 per ton in the AOD process. While making stainless steel in the GOR, Ar is blown in the end of the process for 5 min to reduce the loss of Fe and also to remove the hydrogen (residual hydrogen in the metal will be less than 2 ppm).
  3. The GOR can reach 0.01% carbon in the stainless steel, as against 0.02% in the AOD process. This is because oxygen is blown from the bottom of the GOR, as against from the top in other technologies.
  4. The Investment on the GOR is 2-3 times lower and includes the furnace, automation system (for 40 grades of steel) with Siemens hardware, ladles for metal & slag, feeding bins, gas cleaning system, supervision of erection & commissioning and plant training.
  5. While refining the metal from sulphur & phosphorus, the Fe lost in the slag is only 10-20%.

The GOR uses high MgO refractory. The refractory life is 150 - 200 melts. It takes 12 hours to re-build the refractory, after which the warm up takes another 30 hours. The design of the GOR enables its rotation by 360° to facilitate the pouring of metal & slag separately.

The GOR technology makes it possible to produce metal parts with set parameters of chemical composition and metallurgical properties.

The GOR advantages include

  1. Capacity of the GOR can be as low as 3 tons or as high as 100 tons per charge

  2. Possibility to realize both oxidizing and reducing conditions of refining during the steel melting

  3. In the process of blowing the liquid metal by technical gas mixtures, the semi-steel product goes through the process of de-carbonization, which helps to achieve a higher degree of conversion of Cr (97%) & Mn (70%)

  4. Possibility to make steel with specially low content of carbon (

  5. Productivity increased by 1.5-2.0 times as compared to the AOD process, which allows reducing the investment costs for construction

  6. Technological flexibility of the process allows the use of liquid half-products made of cheap scrap and high- carbon ferroalloys (without any limitation on the initial carbon content) or 100% stainless steel wastes

  7. Compared to the AOD method, the GOR provides a significant (1.5-2.0 times) reduction in the consumption of expensive argon

  8. The GOR method is universal, which not only allows melting the corrosion-resistant steels and alloys (including very low-carbon), but also practically all grades of high-quality steels including carbon, low-alloy and alloy steels

  9. It is easily made possible to maintain the optimum temperatures & slag conditions of melting in the GOR, depending on the requirements of different grades of steel.

  10. Slag and metal are tapped separately, which allows deep desulphurisation of steel and successful alloying with titanium and other readily oxidized elements these can be used for alloying or for modifying the finished steel

  11. Possibility of alloying the corrosion-resistant steels with nitrogen in the gas phase up to the limit of its solubility. In steelmaking, when the nitrogen content is lower than its solubility limit, an accuracy of ± 0.01% of nitrogen mass fraction is achieved without the use of nitride ferroalloys

  12. At the refining stage, non-ferrous impurities which have high vapor pressure compared to iron (such as lead, Pb, tin, Sn) are considerably removed, and deep degassing of the metal with minimum oxidation is achieved

  13. Low consumption of refractories

  14. Production of unlimited grades of steel, as per the market demand.

The above advantages of the GOR refining can be achieved by different capacities of the GOR converters and by different modes of blowing, depending on the steel grades produced and the technological stages of refining. The gas supply system of the GOR converter p rovides the supply and flow con trol over oxygen, natural gas, argon and nitrogen. The oxidation potential of the blowing can be modified in a range from 100% pure oxygen to pure inert gas.

2. Gas-oxygen refining

2.1. Charge materials for carbon (soft) steel in the GOR converter are liquid electric furnace intermediate product (from induction furnaces) and solid metal additives. Sponge iron, carbon steel scrap, cast iron, and ferroalloys are used as the latter.

2.2. The gas-oxygen refining process includes three main stages of melting.

2.2.1. At the first stage, a part of the solid filling, consisting partly of sponge iron and cast iron, is preheated and melted due to the burning of carbon in carbon-containing fuels (coal) and the oxidation of silicon in cast iron. Purging is carried out through bottom blowing devices with oxygen and protective (natural) gas. The intensity of the oxygen blowing is 1,5-2,0 m3/ton per min. The consumption of natural gas is approximately 8-10% (by volume) of oxygen consumption.

2.2.2. At the second stage, after melting of the solid part of the filling and pouring the liquid part (intermediate product from induction furnaces) of the melt, the metal is dephosphorized. Purging is carried out through bottom blowing devices with oxygen and protective (natural) gas. The intensity of oxygen blowing is 1,5-2,0 m3/ton per min. The consumption of natural gas is approximately 8-10% (by volume) of oxygen consumption.

At the final phase of the second stage, for intensive mixing of the bath, metal is purged with pure argon, which is supplied into both channels of the tuyeres with intensity 0,6-0,7 m3/ton per min.

During the purge, lime in the amount of 35-45 kg/ton is added to the converter bath.

If necessary, for acceleration of the processes of slag formation and improving the fluidity of slag, it is recommended to use fluorite concentrate (fluorspar, CaF2) in the amount of 10-15 kg/ton.

The temperature of the metal at the end of the stage is 1580-1620 °C.

2.2.3. If necessary, the phosphorus-free metal without slag that contains phosphorus (slag is removed from the converter to a slag pot, installed on a steel slag carriage) is additionally subjected to a desulfurization process. For these purposes, a new slag is induced. During this period, purging is conducted through bottom blowing devices with oxygen and protective (natural) gas. The intensity of the oxygen blowing is 1,5-2,0 m3/ton per min. The consumption of natural gas is approximately 8-10% (by volume) of oxygen consumption.

At the final phase of the third stage, for intensive mixing of the bath, metal is purged with pure argon, which is supplied into both channels of the tuyeres with intensity 0,6-0,7 m3/ton per min.

During the purge, lime in the amount of 30-40 kg/ton is added to the converter bath.

The temperature of the metal and at the end of the stage is 1680-1720 °C.

2.3. The addition of metal charge, lime, deoxidizing agents and other additives to the converter is carried out with a scoop.

Floor scales are used for weighing of solid additives.

Nitrogen-alloying of structural and corrosion-resistant steels to increase their performance properties

The introduction of nitrogen into steel improves the quality of the metal and reduces the consumption of alloying materials such as tungsten, molybdenum, nickel, and others.

Two main tasks are solved during nitriding of steels:

- introduction of nitrogen into the melt and ensuring its concentration at the level of 150-250 ppm (0.015-0.025%) and higher.

- binding of nitrogen in steel into strong carbonitrides (nitrides).

The whole process is called carbonitride hardening, and the product – increased strength steels with carbonitride hardening.

The practice of nitrogen introducing into steel with an additive of nitrated ferrovanadium (FeV) in the steel-teeming ladle with steel production under the jet has become the most widespread.

Table 1a shows the composition of nitrated ferrovanadium.

The production of nitrated ferroalloys is quite complex and expensive with all the simplicity of the additive nitrated ferrovanadium and the recognition of the effective results of the carbonitride hardening of vanadium.

In this regard, researchers and practitioners are looking for an alternative to nitrogen introducing into steel with nitrated ferrovanadium and replacing the latter with more available ferroalloys that bind nitrogen to form nitrides.

1. Due to the capabilities of the GOR unit, it is proposed to saturate the metal with nitrogen by flushing with nitrogen through these forms, including:

- nitriding of carbon steels;

- nitriding of corrosion-resistant steels.

Binding of nitrogen into nitrides can be done with FeV (expensive production of nitrided ferrovanadium is excluded in the process chain).

2. The National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine has developed a technology of additional micro-alloying of steel providing carbonitride hardening (increasing the strength of the billet in a hot-rolled state), making it possible to obtain a significant surplus value of a new grade end product (for example, reinforcing bar of B500C grade, high strength fasteners).

The use of reinforcing bar in hanks with a yield strength of at least 500 N/mm2 in the building will ensure high efficiency of its use, reduce waste during processing, and also allow to organize industrial production of nets, frames and other reinforcement products for monolithic house building and industrial civil engineering. The result is a significant savings in electricity, labor and cost.
