0.51Mo) is melted by 500 kg vacuum induction melting furnace (VIM) -electroslag remelting unit (ESR) -vacuum arc remelting unit (VAR) triplex process
forged breakdown and rolled to Φ30 mm bar products. The gas content
deleterious elements content and non-metallic inclusions in steel 9Crl8Mo are examined and analyzed. Results show that the triplex process is available to increase the cleanliness of bearing steel
the oxygen content in tested steel 9Cr18Mo is 0.0008%
nitrogen content is 0.0038% and the S content is <0. 001 %
and with controlling the Ti content and pentad-deleterious elements content in raw materials
in finished products the Ti content is <0.002%
the Sn
As and Sb content are respectively <0.002% and the Pb and Bi content are respectively <0.0001 % ; by triplex process the nonmetallic inclusions in steel is a little
and the inclusions with size less than 3μm amount are more than 90% of total inclusions up to quite high cleanliness level.Material Index Bearing Steel 9Cr18Mo
