The lifting magnet includes a plurality of electromagnet coils that are each independently ON/OFF-controllable and voltage-controllable, and a magnetic pole that is excited by application of a voltage to the electromagnet coils. An electromagnet coil to be used for lifting steel plates is determined based on a total thickness of the steel plates to be lifted. An amount of passing magnetic flux Φr in the magnetic pole in a case where magnetic flux passes through only the steel plates to be lifted when the electromagnet coil is used is calculated. An application voltage to be applied to the electromagnet coil used for lifting the steel plates is determined based on the amount of passing magnetic flux Φr. The application voltage is applied to the electromagnet coil.

Proposed is a method for efficiently desulfurizing molten metal in a short time without passing an excessive current when applying a potential difference between slag and metal. Using a direct-current power source, this method for desulfurizing molten metal applies a potential difference between molten slag and molten metal through electrodes, of which one electrode contacting the molten metal serves as a negative electrode and the other electrode contacting only the molten slag serves as a positive electrode. An applied current density Ja is determined according to an equilibrated S concentration [S]e0 before application of a potential difference such that an equilibrated S concentration [S]ea when a potential difference is applied becomes equal to or lower than a target S concentration [S]ft.

Abstract

Proposed is a molten iron refining method capable of securing an in-flame staying time period of a heat transfer medium without being influenced by height adjustments of a blowing-purpose oxygen-blowing lance. As far as to a position lower than an upper end inside a converter-type vessel 1, a blowing-purpose oxygen-blowing lance 3 that supplies oxidizing gas and is capable of ascending and descending and at least one burner lance 4 capable of ascending and descending independently of the blowing-purpose oxygen-blowing lance are inserted. From the blowing-purpose oxygen-blowing lance, either oxidizing gas or oxidizing gas and CaO-containing refining agent are blown onto the molten iron. Also, a flame is formed by causing the burner lance to discharge fuel gas and combustion supporting gas. Powder particles discharged from the burner lance are caused to pass through the flame and to be blown onto the molten iron in a heat-transferred state, so that the molten iron is thermally compensated.

An auxiliary material is added, and an oxidizing gas is supplied, to cold iron source and molten pig iron that are contained or fed in converter-type vessel, and molten iron is subjected to refining process. Prior to refining process, a pre-charged cold iron source that is charged all at once into the converter-type vessel before the molten pig iron is charged into the converter-type vessel is charged in an amount not larger than 0.15 times the sum of an amount of the pre-charged cold iron source and a charge amount of the molten pig iron, or is not charged. A furnace-top-added cold iron source that is added from a furnace top of the converter-type vessel is fed into converter-type vessel during refining process.
