The design principle of the invention is as follows:
after tapping, lime and a slag surface deoxidizer are added to carry out slag adjustment and deoxidation, and the oxidizability of slag and the oxygen content of molten steel when RH enters the station are controlled.

After finishing the RH alloying, adding high-alkalinity synthetic slag into the molten steel in the vacuum chamber, simultaneously increasing the pressure in the RH vacuum chamber, reducing and improving the gas flow, namely weakening the circulating flow of the molten steel, prolonging the retention time of the synthetic slag in the molten steel, and promoting CaO and Al in the synthetic slag2O3Component and SiO2Carrying out sufficient reaction; the synthetic slag contains proper amount of metal Ca and Al, SiO in molten steel2The modification and reduction of the inclusion surface layer also enhances the deoxidation of the molten steel, comprehensively reduces the total oxygen content of the molten steel, improves the cleanliness of the molten steel, and controls the inclusion in the molten steel to be SiO2-CaO-Al2O3Is an inclusion of SiO as the main component2≤60%、Al2O3Less than or equal to 25 percent, CaO: 20 to 50 percent, and avoids generating pure SiO2Or high SiO2The acidic inclusion of the components causes severe erosion of the refractory material during smelting.

Comparative examples
The original production process of the series of silicon-manganese killed non-oriented silicon steel comprises the following steps: KR molten iron pretreatment → converter smelting → RH refining → continuous casting. Slag stopping balls are adopted for slag stopping and tapping in converter tapping, the slag discharging amount is strictly controlled, and lime and fluorite are added for slagging after tapping is finished; after the RH vacuum is treated by adopting a deep decarburization process, two schemes are adopted in the deoxidation alloying process, namely a scheme 1: simultaneously adding low-carbon low-sulfur ferrosilicon, metal manganese and ferrophosphorus for deoxidation alloying, after the deoxidation alloying is finished, the molten steel is completely circulated for more than 6min, and then the air is broken, the steel is tapped, and the molten steel is transported to a continuous casting platform for casting. The obtained inclusion is shown as region 1 in FIG. 2, and the main type of the inclusion is SiO2-MnO、SiO2-MnO-Al2O3Wherein the MnO component is higher and accounts for 30-60 percent, the melting point of MnO is low, the MnO content in the oxide composite inclusions is high, the oxide composite inclusions are in a semi-molten state during hot rolling at a higher temperature and extend along the rolling direction, and crystal grains can be prevented from growing during annealing, so that the magnetic performance of the series of ultra-low aluminum non-oriented silicon steel is reduced. Scheme 2: the low-carbon low-sulfur ferrosilicon is added for deoxidation, after the oxygen content of the molten steel is fully removed, the metal manganese, ferrophosphorus and the like are added for deoxidation alloying, after the deoxidation alloying is finished, the molten steel is circulated for more than 6min, and then the hollow part is broken, the steel is tapped, and the molten steel is transported to a continuous casting platform for casting. The resulting inclusion is shown as region 2 in FIG. 2, where SiO is2The components are higher, the percentage of the components is more than 70 percent, the inclusions are not deformed in the rolling process, the influence on the grain growth in the cold rolling annealing stage is less, but pure SiO2Or high SiO2The group classification acid inclusions seriously erode refractory materials of a steel ladle and an RH vacuum furnace, and are not beneficial to the improvement of the quality of molten steel and the stability of the pouring performance. The two production schemes are implemented in industrial production, and the production stability of the silicon-manganese killed steel is not ideally controlled due to different problems.
Through comparison between the embodiment and the comparative embodiment, the inclusion type controlled by the invention can ensure the pouring performance of molten steel, does not erode refractory materials of a vacuum furnace and continuous casting equipment, increases the number of continuous casting furnaces from the original 10-12 furnaces to 14-46 furnaces, and increases the service life of an RH dip pipe from the original 80-100 times to 120-135 times; meanwhile, because the high-alkalinity synthetic slag is added from the vacuum chamber, the deoxidation of the molten steel is enhanced, the free oxygen is reduced to below 25ppm from the original 40-65ppm, and the cleanliness is greatly improved.
