Abstract: In order to recover and apply the cutting scrap of die steel H13 and increase the yield of Cr, Mo, V etc alloy elements, the die steel H13 is melted by return cutting scrap method in 50 t medium frequency induction furnace- LF- VD flowsheet. The effect of curing pressed block and low vacuum melting process on Cr yield and the effect of BaO content in CaO-BaO compound slag series on dephosphorizing results are analyzed. Results show that with curing pressed block treatment and melting on ≤1 333 Pa low vacuum condition the yield of Cr, Mo and V in cutting scrap increases to more than 96% , as compared with non-using curing pressed block treatment, the melting time decreases by 25 min/heat. During melting period, dephosphorization process is carried out by high basicity CaO-20% BaO compound slag series, the P content in products shall be controlled to 0. 01%.
