Conclusions
-
1.
The service life of dies made of ESR steel is ∼30% higher than that of dies made from hot-rolled steel.
-
2.
The ESR steel is characterized by high isotropicity and a smaller quantity of nonmetallic inclusions in comparison with the hot-worked steel.
-
3.
As the result of losses during electroslag remelting, the quantity of silicon, molybdenum, and chromium decreases ∼10%, and the quantity of sulfur and phosphorus to approximately one-half.
