Abstract
The service characteristics of tool steels are largely determined by the grain size density and the homogeneity of the metallic matrix and the size, composition, and distribution of its nonmetallic inclusions. In many cases, conventional melting and casting methods cannot produce high-quality tool steel. The widespread use of electroslag remelting (ESR) has led to notable improvements in tool steel quality [1].
