Abstract: The gear steel 20CrMnTi with narrow hardenability band is produced by hot metal desulphurizing-120 t BOF-LF-200 mm x 200 mm billet casting-hot rolling process at Long Products General Plant, Wuhan Iron and Steel. Production results show that with the process measures including using BOF catch carbon practice to control end [C] ≥ 0.08% , adding 0.8 kg/t aluminium during tapping for pre-deoxidizing, than argon blowing and feeding aluminium wire 150 m in ladle, during LF refining feeding 0.4 kg/t aluminium wire and controlling refining slag basicity 3.0-4.0, microadjusting alloying element content and argon shielding long nozzle casting process, the results of analysis of 122 heats gear steel 20CrMnTi are (/% ) 0.19-0.21C, 0.22-0.31Si, 0.85-1.04Mn, 1.01-1.19Cr, 0.04-0.09Ti, 0.02-0.06Cu, ≤ 24 X 10^-6[O] and ≤ 55 x 10^-6[N]; the rating of porosity and segregation ≤ l.0 and the rating of grain size ≥ 9.0; and the width of hardenability band △HRC of products ≤ 5.9 to meet the requirement of standard.
