Based on a thermodynamic study of 5 wt.%Si high-silicon austenitic stainless steel(SS-5Si)smelting using CaF2-CaO-Al2O3-MgO-SiO2 slag to obtain a low oxygen content of less than 10 x 10-4 wt.%,a kinetic mass transfer model for deep deoxidation was established through laboratory studies,and the effects of slag components and temperature on deoxidation during the slag-steel reaction process of SS-5Si were systematically studied.The experimental data verified the accuracy of the model predictions.The results showed that the final oxygen content in the steel at 1873 K was mainly controlled by the oxygen content derived from the activity of SiO2 regulated by the[Si]-[O]equilibrium reaction in the slag system;in particular,when the slag basicity R(R=w(CaO)/w(SiO2),where w(CaO)and w(SiO2)are the contents of CaO and SiO2 in the slag,respectively)is 3,the A12O3 content in the slag needs to be less than 2.7%.The mass transfer rate equation for the kinetics of the deoxidation reaction revealed that the mass transfer of oxygen in the liquid metal is the rate-controlling step under different slag conditions at 1873 K,and the oxygen transfer coefficient kom increases with increasing the slag basicity from 4.0 × 10-6 m s-1(R=1)to 4.3 × 10-5 m s-1(R=3).kOm values at R=2 and R=3 are almost the same,indicating that high slag basicity has little effect.The integral of the mass transfer rate equation for the deoxidation reaction of SS-5Si under different slag conditions is obtained.The total oxygen content of the molten steel decreases with increasing basicity from an initial content of 22 × 10-4 to 3.2 × 10-4 wt.%(R=3),consistent with the change in kO,m with slag basicity.At R=2,the slag-steel reaction takes 15 min to reach equilibrium(w[O]=5.5 × 10-4 wt.%),whereas at R=3,the slag-steel reaction takes 30 min to reach equilibrium(w[O]=3.2 × 10-4 wt.%).Considering the depth of deoxidation and reaction time of SS-5Si smelting,it is recommended the slag basicity be controlled at approximately 2.Similarly,the effect of temperature on the deep deoxidation of SS-5Si was studied.
