Abstract: The key technology for controlling the oxygen content in gear steel is analyzed including SiO₂ content in refining slag, (CaO)/( A1₂O₃) , (FeO + MnO) , RH, Ar stirring and concasting process. Combined with process conditions at Vanadium Recovery and Steelmaking Plant, Panzhihua New Steel-Vanadium Co Ltd, with the process measures such as controlling converter end [C] ≥0. 10% , ladle slag thickness 50 ~ 80 mm and adding high basicity slag during tapping, LF white slag refining [ in slag T. Fe-0. 43% , ( MnO + FeO)-0. 93% , SiO₂-5% , average (CaO)/(Al₂0₃ ) -1. 9] , RH treatment for 20 min, shielded continuous casting, and using suitable argon blowing models in ladle at back platform of converter, during LF refining and calcium treating, the total oxygen content in bloom of gear steel 20CrMoH is ≤15 X 10^-6, and the average total oxygen content is 11. 8 x 10^-6.
