Based on the analysis on the smelting units and processes for high nitrogen stainless steel
the mode and character of nitrogen dissolving into liquid at high temperature-high pressure and the advantage of adding nitrogen by bottom-blowing nitrogen
in laboratory the adding nitrogen test for high nitrogen stainless steel Crl8Mnl8N (/% : 0. 17C
18. 00Cr
18. 09Mn
0. 25Si
0. 010S
0. 020P
1. 07N) is carried out by a 300g liquid bottom-blowing shaped crucible with 0. 5 -1.5 MPa
nitrogen bottom-blowing rate 0. 14 ~0. 24 m
3
/h at 1 820 ~ 1 910 K. Results show that with 1. 5 MPa and nitrogen bottom-blowing rate 0. 15 m
3
/h at 1 890 K
as bottom-blowing for 20 ~30 min
the nitrogen content in liquid tends to saturation
it is available to quick-smelt high nitrogen stainless steel in which the nitrogen content is more than 1. 0%. The bottom-blowing technology has nice process effect
