Based on practical production data of steelmaking process for 304 stainless steel by a 45 t AOD-L unit
according to system modeling
conservation of mass and energy
and thermodynamic principle
a processing model (AOD M&H) for austenite stainless steel steelmaking by AOD process has been established including four levels: operation
chemical reaction
metallurgy and energy computation with 469 variables. With 139 input variables including amount
ingredient and temperature of each material
the 39 output variables such as chemical composition and temperature of liquid steel etc. can be calculated by the model. Application results showed that the relative error of carbon content and temperature of liquid steel in each phase of steelmaking process between calculated and measured value was ≤11. 1 %.
