Abstract
It is shown that owing to inert atmosphere (argon) in the furnace chamber, plasma-arc remelting of ShKh15 steel promotes considerable cleaning from nonmetallic inclusions and gas impurities that points to a high refining ability of plasma-arc processing of metal. Ref. 8, Tabl. 3, Fig. 5.
Keywords: ShKh15 bearing steel; plasma-arc remelting; remelting modes; nonmetallic inclusions; argon; mould; ingot
