THE EFFECTS OF VACUUM-CONSUMABLEELECTRODE REMELTING ON THE PROPERTIES OF 12NI-5CR-3MO STEEL.
Abstract
A study was made to determine the effect of vacuum-consumable-electrode remelting on the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and microstructure of 12Ni-5Cr-3Mo steel, a comparison was made with steel from the same heat that was (1) air-melted, conventionally cast, and rolled; (2) air-melted, conventionally cast, upset-forged, and rolled; and (3) air-melted, conventionally cast, vacuumconsumable-electrode remelted, upset-forged, and rolled. The results indicated that vacuum-consumable-electrode remelting did not improve the properties of the 12Ni-5Cr3Mo steel, but that special processing procedures such as upset forging markedly improved the notch toughness of the steel.
