AOD method - AOD method

...In other words, a ladle containing chromium-containing molten iron that has been melted and pre-decarburized in an electric furnace or converter is transferred to a vacuum chamber, and argon gas is blown into the bottom of the ladle to stir the molten iron, while oxygen gas is blown onto the surface of the molten iron to suppress the oxidation of chromium while decarburizing it.
[Diluted gas decarburization method]
The AOD (argon oxygen decarburization) process was developed in 1968 based on the idea that blowing a mixture of oxygen and argon into chromium-containing molten iron reduces the partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas produced compared to when oxygen gas alone is blown into the molten iron, suppressing the oxidation of chromium and allowing decarburization to take precedence (Figure 2). This method is similar to a converter, with a double-tube tuyere installed at the bottom of the furnace, and oxygen and argon are blown into the inner tube, while argon gas for cooling and dilution is blown into the outer tube, preventing the tuyere from melting.

From [Out-of-furnace refining method]

...Then in 1967, the VAD process, which uses argon gas to stir the molten steel, was developed, and in 1971 the LF process, which transferred part of the refining function of the electric furnace to the ladle, was developed, so that sulfur was removed in the ladle as well as oxygen. The above methods are mainly intended for the external refining of carbon steel and low-alloy steel, but the AOD and VOD processes, etc., are streamlined for the refining of stainless steel, and selectively remove carbon while suppressing the loss of chromium due to oxidation. This is mainly applied to molten steel in electric furnaces, but the RH-OB process, which treats molten steel in converters using an improved version of the RH process, has also been developed. ...

…すなわち,電気炉または転炉で溶解,予備脱炭した含クロム溶鉄を入れた取鍋(とりなべ)を真空槽内に移し,取鍋の底からアルゴンガスを吹き込んで溶鉄をかくはんしつつ,溶鉄の表面に酸素ガスを上吹きして,クロムの酸化を抑えながら脱炭を行わせる方式である。
[希釈ガス脱炭法]
 酸素‐アルゴンの混合ガスを含クロム溶鉄に吹き込むと,酸素ガスのみの場合に比べて,発生する一酸化炭素ガスの分圧が下がり,クロムの酸化を抑え,優先的に脱炭を行わせることができるという着想に基づき,68年にAOD(argon oxygen decarburization)法が開発された(図2)。この方法は転炉に似た炉の底部に二重管羽口を設け,内管には酸素とアルゴンを,外管には冷却兼希釈用のアルゴンガスを通して,羽口の溶損をも防ぐ構造になっている。…

【炉外精錬法】より

…ついで67年にはアルゴンガスで溶鋼をかくはんさせるVAD法,71年には電気炉の精錬機能の一部を取鍋に移行した形式のLF法などが開発され,酸素とともに硫黄の除去が取鍋で行われるようになった。以上の方法はおもに炭素鋼および低合金鋼の炉外精錬を目的としているが,ステンレス鋼の精錬を合理化したものがAOD法,VOD法などであり,クロムの酸化による損失を抑制しながら,炭素を選択的に除去している。これはおもに電気炉の溶鋼に適用されるが,転炉の溶鋼をRH法の改良方式で処理するRH‐OB法も開発されている。…
