Smelting production practice of SA508M.Gr.3CL.2 steel ingot
SAS08M.Gr.3CL.2 steel is used to manufacture of nuclear power forging ingot,with strict requirements of P,H elements and w (N) / w (Al) ratio.Based on the composition requirements of the steel,Shanghai Electric Heavy Casting & Forging Co.Ltd.formulated the production process of smelting production and successfully produced the 460 t ingot of the steel through strict control on charging,dephosphorization,desulphurization,segregation and vacuum degassing.The chemical compositions of the forging product were w(P)<0.004 %,w(S)<0.002 %,w(H)<0.8 × 10-6 and w(O)<5.0 × 10-6,the ratio of w(N)/w(Al) between 0.6 and 0.9,and the segregation elements of C,Mn,Mo controlled well,which met the internal control requirements of the company.
