Study of Optimizing Combined-Blowing in EAF Based on K-Medoids Clustering Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The integrated technology of oxygen blowing and bottom blowing was the core of EAF combined-blowing. Today's process model can not exactly describe the control of combined-blowing. In this paper, the EAF steelmaking history data was analyzed by K-medoids clustering algorithm which is data mining technology. Different clustering results were obtained under the cost of steelmaking, oxygen consumption, and etc. Finally, the optimizing combined-blowing curve is found out by analyzing the classified results. In the early of smelting, the flow rate of No.1 oxygen lance and No.2 oxygen lance is increased to improve the strength of decarburization and the pace of smelting. In the late of smelting, door oxygen lance starts to be used for dynamics conditions of carbon-oxygen reaction. The two bottom blowing lance use argon instead of nitrogen after 21 minutes in order to protect the steel components.
