Deoxidizers Excellence with speed

Why steel makers need deoxidizers ??

Sources of oxygen in steel
Rust on steel
Oxygen blowing
Steelmaking slag
Atmospheric oxygen dissolved in steel during teeming
Oxidizing refractories

During making of steel, the steel bath at the

time of tapping contains 400 to 800 ppm activity
of oxygen. At 1600 solubility of oxygen in liquid
steel is 0.23% which deceases to 0.003% in solid
steel during solidification.

Typical DE oxidation Routes

De oxidation by metallic deoxidizers

Either by a single element such as Si, Al, Mn etc. or by mixture of elements
such as Si + Mn, Ca-Si-Al etc.
De oxidation by vacuum
Involves utilization of carbon dissolved in steel as the deoxidizer in vacuum
treatment of molten steel decreases the partial pressure of CO, which results in
shifting equilibrium of the reaction of carbon oxidation. Bubbles of CO formed in the
liquid steel, floats and then they are removed by the vacuum system.
Diffusion De oxidation
Involves Oxygen dissolves in both steel and slag .Carbon (coke), silicone,
aluminum and other elements are used for slag de oxidation. Since deoxidizers in the
diffusion method are not introduced directly into the steel melt, oxide non-metallic
inclusions do not form.

DOX (JAMIPOL De oxidation Compound)
Composition:
CaC2 with Certain % of Slag Conditioner.
Compound size : < 5 mm

Application:
Lowering the Oxygen activity of slag and steel melt by adding D'OX (granulated
carbide with other chemical compounds) to the ladle during tapping. This is a cost
saving de oxidation method by improving the Al-, Si- and Mn efficiency. It also works
effective in heats with a limited Al-specification. Reaction products are CaO and CO-
gas. In many cases an Al-De oxidation can be reduced or replaced.

Slag reduction
D'OX is added to the ladle furnace slag for the reduction of to high FeO- and MnO
concentrations. Aims are to improve the cleanliness of the melt and to speed up the
desulphurization via top slag.

Steel De oxidation with DOX

Key advantages:
Decrease Al consumption
Basic reaction product
Thermal insulation
Due to its low density (2.3 g/cm3) compared with steel density (7.5 g/cm3), CaC2
floats in the ladle allowing these reaction take place:
3 FeO + CaC2 CaO + 2 CO + 3 Fe
3 MnO + CaC2 CaO + 2 CO + 3 Mn
If CaC2 is not added, then the Mn in the liquid Steel can reduce the FeO in the slag.
This in turn becomes part of the slag, resulting in an additional decrease in the recovery
of Mn.
Reduces the slag oxides in the furnace.
Does not affect chemical composition of steel.
Produces a favorable foam in the slag.
Protects the electric arc and refractory.
It prevents the oxygen incorporation from the air.
Diminishes content of S in steel.

By stoichiometry:
1 Kg of pure CaC2 reduce 3.30 Kg FeO

23
Typical Process of DOX addition:

First step : partly replacement of Al with D'OX at converter tapping

Addition of 100 kg D'OX at tapping replaces 80 kg Aluminum
D'OX addition should reduce Oxygen content from 700 to 400 ppm
Carbon pick-up should be below 50 ppm. Carbon at LF increases
from 0.044 to 0.049 %.

Second step : Beside 100 kg at tapping, additional D'OX dosing at ladle furnace
Addition of 30-50 kg D'OX during heating sequence.
Replacement of Al shots. Al wire only for alloying purposes.
Carbon pick-up should be below 50 ppm
FeO +MnO should be below 2 %.
