Abstract
A molten iron and steel is refined by feeding a compressed and deformed composite clad obtained by clading a core material of at least one of metallic calcium, metallic magnesium, calcium base alloys and magnesium base alloys with a sheath of iron, into the molten iron and steel at a feeding rate of 20-500 m/min. while deoxidizing, desulfurizing and spherodizing of graphite are effectively carried out.
Claims5
A method for refining molten iron and steel bath comprising,
- feeding a compressed and deformed composite clad material of a solidified core encassed in a sheath in wire and rod form having a sufficient rigidity obtained by
- clading a core consisting essentially of at least one element of metallic calcium, metallic magnesium, calcium base alloys and magnesium base alloys,
- with a sheath of iron and mechanically compressing and deforming the resulting clad,
- into the molten iron and steel bath at a feeding rate of 20-500 m/min, a rate of feeding fast enough to avoid forming a fume or a flame of calcium or magnesium, whereby substantially 100% of the added calcium or magnesium is effectively reacted with said molten iron and steel bath, while deoxidizing, desulfurizing, spherodizing of graphite and inoculating said molten iron and steel bath are effectvely carried out.
