Reduction of tungsten during the electroslag remelting of flux containing the scheelite concentrate for production of tungsten-containing steels

The influence of various reducing agents of tungsten from the scheelite concentrate on the complex alloying of remelted low-carbon steel by tungsten through the oxide slag system is investigated. Steels highly alloyed with tungsten (up to 20 wt %) are produced by the electroslag remelting of low-carbon steel using ceramic fluxes based on mineral associations.
