Conclusions
-
1.
Die steel 5KhNM melted from a primal charge (SI) has better strength and ductile characteristics than steel melted from an ordinary metallurgical charge (OMC).
-
2.
Steel melted on the basis of SI has a lower content of constant (S, P) and residual (nonferrous metals) impurities (one half to one quarter), and also of nonmetallic inclusions than steel melted on the basis of OMC.
-
3.
In the temperature range 300–500°C (the operating temperature range of die steel) steel melted on the basis of SI has much better wear resistance than steel melted on the basis of OMC.
