Laws of nitriding of alloy steel in a plasma-arc remelting furnace
Abstract
Metal drop samples are taken during plasma-arc remelting of 12Kh25N16G7AR steel billets. An analysis of the drops shows that the fraction of steel nitriding in the drops accounts for 20-40% of the total steel nitriding at a nitrogen content of 0.06% in a billet. An equation is derived to estimate the nitriding of a liquid Cr-Ni-Mn steel from the nitrogen concentration in the billet to be remelted.
