Popis: Pulsed-continuous melt solidification is developed for the production of chill-cast ingots and continuous-cast billets of hard-to-work P6M5 steel. The introduction of pulsed-continuous melt solidification and linear-solidification heat treatment at OAO MMZ Serp i Molot has permitted the continuous casting of high-speed P6M5 steel on a radial machine (radius of curvature 9 m). The new method produces continuous-cast billets of increased plasticity, thereby eliminating the need for forging. The new system has been used to produce hot- and cold-rolled P6M5 steel sheet and bar.
