Chapter 16 This is how steel is made
When I came out of the molten iron workshop, I found that the outside environment was so beautiful. After taking a few deep breaths, I felt that the invisible depression had decreased a lot.
"How is it? not used to it, right?" asked Li Feng.
"Some, I didn't think that the environment of workers would be like this, could it be that the environment of other factories and production lines is also like this?" asked Chen Shu in disbelief.
"If there is a big difference, the workers must have asked the boss to improve the working environment, and if the working environment of others was better than here, the workers would have run away. Li Feng said. "You kid is okay, you really have a bit of eyesight, these two bottles of water were not bought for nothing, and if you see any questions that Director Sun doesn't understand in the future, just ask, this person is easy to socialize. ”
"Oh, I just watched them work hard, so I handed it to him. At this time, Chen Shu was a little embarrassed.
"It's like this, some things, the more natural you do, the more sincere people think you are, and deliberately doing them makes people think you're hypocritical. If you think about the expression on your face when you hand Director Sun water in the workshop, if I say, 'You give him a bottle of water, this is Director Sun.' 'What will you look like?' Li Feng said.
Chen Shu was really stunned for a moment, and really recalled the scene at that time, he just felt that the other party was hot, and then handed the other party water to drink, without any purpose. If you are afraid that the other party will refuse in order to ask questions, and deliberately hand the other party two bottles of water, I am afraid that it will definitely not be as natural as it was at that time.
"How's it going? It feels different. In fact, it's the same with sales, don't be too deliberate to pursue your own sales performance, but really make friends with this person. Only in this way can we really do a good job and effectively improve our performance. Li Feng explained very clearly, and Chen Shu really learned something.
"That is, Brother Li, I guess others will never take me and tell me so much. Chen Shu said.
"This line is okay now, and the threshold for entering this line is low, almost anyone with a primary school education can sell goods, but when it comes to some technical or professional things, I'm afraid it's not something they can explain clearly. The company beckons college students to enter sales, which also means to develop in this area. Are you still going to the steelmaking side today?"
"Go! Since they're all here, let's read it all at once, or I'll have to let you suffer with me next time, and I'll give me a chance to invite you when I go back! Okay, brother, I can't afford it, and it's still no problem to masturbate. Chen Shu mentioned this matter to Li Feng again.
"Okay! next time you'll have a chance to to me. Li Feng was no longer polite, and Chen Shu walked to the commissary again, bought four more bottles of water, and the water in the two bottles was drunk unconsciously, mainly because it was too hot and sweaty.
The two did not continue to stay, but gradually walked into the back workshop with the platform of workers' activities.
"The distance between the steelmaking and the blast furnace workshop is not very far, and if it is relatively far, it will become inconvenient to transport, and at the same time, it will also increase the cost, because the ladle will gradually dissipate heat and cool during transportation, and once it falls below the suitable temperature for steelmaking, additional heating will be required. These are all costs, and transportation costs money in the same way. Li Feng said as he walked, and Chen Shu also saw the hot metal ladles lined up at the hot metal outlets below.
The molten iron ladle filled with molten iron was pulled by a tanker truck to the steelmaking workshop, and after the two walked into the workshop, they soon saw the steelmaking furnace in the distance. Although Chen Shu didn't know it, at least these things were mentioned in the books, which were the oxygen top blowing converter steelmaking method mentioned in chemistry textbooks.
"After the molten iron comes in, it will be stored in the iron mixing furnace and will not cool down and solidify. That is the converter, it can rotate left and right, after a furnace of steel is finished, you need to add slag material, and then inject molten iron into the steelmaking furnace. ”
"It's just the beginning, and then there's also scrap to be added. In this way, the amount of steelmaking can be appropriately increased, the cost of scrap steel is much lower than that of molten iron, and then the temperature in the steel furnace is balanced, if the temperature is too high, it is easy to splash when blowing oxygen, and some factories also add iron ore to adjust. Li Feng said.
While the two were talking, a hopper of scrap steel was dumped into the furnace, and soon the furnace turned right, and the upper part dropped slightly, and the furnace mouth was not completely closed.
"It's time to blow oxygen for refining. The pipeline that blows oxygen is called an oxygen lance, which is generally called an oxygen pipe, and oxygen blowing is the process of oxidizing the carbon, sulfur and phosphorus in the molten iron. See, the smoke and dust that flew out are now treated by the company with exhaust gas and dust, which are all directly emitted, and the pollution is particularly heavy. ”
"Blowing oxygen is generally fifteen to twenty minutes, and samples will be taken in the middle to see if the requirements are met, and if the requirements are met, a deoxidizer will be added to neutralize the excess oxygen and let the steel be tapped!" Li Feng continued to walk forward while constantly detailing the whole process, Chen Shu saw very clearly, he had never seen the steelmaking process like this.
Soon I saw the workers on the operating table, the environment here is relatively better, but the dust here is not less than outside, and even the temperature is limited.
"Director Yang, this is our new sales manager Chen Shu, from Shenghua Steel Pipe, come and see our production line. Li Feng said to a middle-aged man watching the steelmaking process next to the operating table.
"This is Director Yang Baofeng, if you don't understand, you can ask him. ”
"Hello Director Yang, my name is Chen Shu, come here to study. You guys are hard enough, drink a bottle of water!" Chen Shu handed over the water, and Yang Baofeng was not polite.
"You can come and have a look when you have time, learn more things, and fool people when you sell goods. Are you all over there?" Director Yang asked casually.
"No, it hasn't started yet, I came here ahead of schedule and asked me to come here to study. Chen Shu said.
"This furnace is very smooth, and it will be tapping in a while, and a regulator will be added to the steel, mainly to remove excess oxygen, and at the same time fine-tune the composition of the steel. The molten steel will be poured into the molten steel ladle and cast into ingots, which will be used for forging parts, or cast into billets, and we will all cast them into billets. Director Yang said to Chen Shu.
"You're from the blast furnace, aren't you? It's a little better over here. Hey, hey, hey, hey!" the man smiled, his black face was messy, and he took advantage of a pair of white teeth. This reminded Chen Shu of the coal digging workers in Shanxi, and every time he laughed out of the mine, he probably looked even weirder than them.
But thinking about how difficult it is to make money, I am even more glad that my parents let me finish college. If you are a native of Tangshan, I am afraid that if you don't go to school, you will be like them, although the salary is not low, but you can only work in this environment in exchange for supporting your family.
"Director Yang, let's continue to walk forward, take him to see the continuous casting and rolling workshop, you are busy, thank you!"
"Goodbye Master Yang!" Chen Shu smiled, and then left the steelmaking workshop with Li Feng.
