The rapid rise in prices for charge materials used for smelting heat-resistant nickel alloy and steels leads to a significant rise in the cost of the final product. In order to curb the rise in prices for semi-finished products FSUE «VIAM» together with metallurgical plants of the industry, is carrying out work on testing and introducing new types of charge materials that can replace the currently used high-frequency materials. The article discussed the materials tested instead of those currently used in the smelting of steels and alloys containing chromium, tungsten and molybdenum, produced at domestic enterprises from domestic raw materials.

In continuation of joint work of FSUE «VIAM» and IMET RAN named after Baikov, in the field of obtaining low-alloy steels with increased mechanical properties with a super-equilibrium nitrogen content, the mechanical properties, structure, and chemical composition of the obtained steel were studied. It is shown that steel 10KH3A with a super-equilibrium nitrogen content (up to 0,2) electroslag remelting under pressure DESHP-0,1 (FSUE «VIAM») provides a high level of properties (ultimate strength 1670 MPa) while maintaining high mechanical characteristics (elongation 10%, constriction 50%).
